Player Non Responsive

[The_Freeman]

Hi Guys,

I consider myself new to PES as I haven't played football games in quite a long time. Now I decided to get PES 18.

I was just wondering that sometimes when I play I notice that my players act strange. For example they sort of ignore a ball when its in front of them(I know about switching and stuff) is this part of the game? There are many strange instances I encounter were I feel like the AI(of my side) is a bit lacking.

Sometimes a ball its my opponent it passes centimeters away from my AI and he literally continues staring and the ball. Worst part is when I switch I might even get the player closest to the ball.

What are your thoughts? Did you experience any of this?

On the whole the game is amazing just curious if these are known bugs or part of the design.

I felt that a little. Maybe the next update puts everything right

I'm not sure what you're talking about, but it might be the game design. The game does force you to a lot of manual defending, especially with covering. I recommend combining a lot of manual pressing and teammate pressing.

yes OP, i getting players who sleeping away, not responsive, shots take too long to pull off, player switching is bonkers, you switch to players not closest to the ball. I think the overall reaction times is to slow,gameplay pace is fine , but players need to react faster and again the shots/headers needs to be improved.

100% agree with you!
The opposition defence are also very indecisive. They tend to dwell on the ball and it's easy to score after dispossessing them.

Here's how I now play PES 2018... and it helps... a lot!

I play on Professional, Game Speed +1 and I have changed all teams to play Long Ball. Now the opposition defence just tend to launch the ball as soon as the ball goes in their area.

Why this game can't play as per PES 2017 is beyond me!
I like the new Free Kicks though!

I also play this way. 0 is so slow

Sweet. Try and convince others like Rebelinho to so too!?

Ah Rebelinho, matey, my old pal... You need to try it, you'll get used to it and it's a lot more fun. Plus the players actually shoot when you hit the shoot button.

Last year was slow. When datapack was relesead, the game stays good with 0. This year the same but didn't changed after datapack.

+1 = "no lag" when press any botton

I don't feel the shooting is a tad too slow/unresponsive, but even -1 feels too fast for me at times. I just love slow paced games.
