Man City Team Mates

Oh, and my whole career I have had the honor of playing with some pretty bad team mates. Just wanted to let you know that at Man City it is completely different:

Me Scored 39
Messi Scored 20
Walcott Scored 12
Balotelli Scored 14
Tevez Scored 15

Then there is a total of 16 players who have scored more than once this season! really helps having team mates who are willing to score. Just won the title with Man city last night dominating 2nd place Chelsea.

Now, I got knocked out of the champs league by controversy. I was 2-0 up on aggregate, the game froze, and I suffered a 3-0 loss because of the "reset prevention". How do I turn that off?

HA HA HA HA HA.

This is what i love about Konami - they bring stupidity to a whole new level. Reset prevention is to stop cheats, but cheats will turn this off anyway. Totally pointless option.

It's something like settings or options in the menu where you save the game. Not hard to find. Usually you only look at those when you first set the game up.

I'm losing the will to live with this year's BaL now

Halfway through my 6th season, playing for AC Milan, 79 OVR...got short pass accuracy of 97 and short pass speed of 91, yet I can't pass 5 yards to one of my team mates, if there's an oppo player within half a pitch length of where I'm passing, as they all get intercepted

problem with passing? try set up different settings. open menu (press Start), choose 'Select Sides', press square, then choose 'Cursor Settings'. on 'Pass Assistance' (or so, I forget the exact name), adjust it to 3 bars. (the range is 0-4. 0 is without assistance, so you must direct your pass precisely, on your own. 4 is with max assistance, if you misdirect a pass, it will force the pass to be directed to closest teammate on the path of the pass).
I usually use 3 bars. (most of my friends are comfortable playing at 3 bars) so I recommend you set it to 3 bars, too.

and for the problem with National Team... what is your position? how is your yearly rating (the game rating, not the stats rating)? is it above 7.0? if I'm not mistaken, usually it is required for someone to reach 7.0 on yearly rating, to be called up to National Team. :shocking:

If you're a forward, then score more. If you're a midfielder, then assist more.

Thanks for the tips man I've got the pass assist at 2 at the mo, coz I didn't want it to be too easy, but then didn't want it to be a nightmare either...I might have to give the 3 a try, although I also need to try and stop the AI and its superhuman reaction times as well hmy:

and you might be onto something with the rating for the national team, as I'm usually getting around 6.7-6.8 ratings a season. I play AMF, and do ok on the assist front, as well as chipping in with a few goals, but perhaps I just need to do that bit more...like I said in my last post though, I did win European Midfielder of the year last season, so I must have been doing something right

Just a very quick question: do you guys know if duplicate players appear at Become A Legend?

Not unless you register them to a Club before you start

 

[The Brain]

Thank you very much for the answer!

So, if they are not registered in any club, the teams (in BAL) cannot hire them during Become a Legend, right? For example, imagine the duplicate of Vidic, he can not appear in BAL at all, he can not be hired by any team during BAL, right?

I totally hope so!!

Hi there, I am new to the community, this site rather impresses me.

In this post, I'd like to share my BAL experience, although it isn't much xD

The settings were put at 10 min. matches, Top Player level, DMF with human dynamo build, focusing on defence and stamina, 64 overall.
The starting point for me was VVV-Venlo. As I am Dutch, I didn't really mind playing in the Eredivisie, until I noticed that the back line of my squad was just plain non-existent. As a DMF, I was able to help out here and there, but the defeats stacked up during the first half of the season even though I scored a header on my debut.

During the second half of the season, things turned out for the better. Unfortunately, this was only temporary, and VVV-Venlo ended the year 2011-2012 as 16th of the league. My average rating was a 6.1, with one goal and one assist. The only highlight of this season was my first call-up for the Dutch national team. I got subbed in against Chile and did fine, with a rating of 6.5.

Because of this, I believe it is more than understandable that I decided to depart to a new club. There were several offers from clubs within the Eredivisie, including Ajax, NAC Breda and Feyenoord. Ajax offered experience in the Champions League, Feyenoord played in the Europa League and NAC Breda was never considered because I feared it would be more of the same.

Now most people would choose to go to Ajax, as the CL was ahead of them. But I didn't follow suit. Why? I didn't feel I was ready for it yet, as my OVR was only 68 at the end of 2011-2012.
Eventually, I went to Feyenoord, Ajax' greatest rivals, for my second season, which I am currently in. For now, I have no regrets, even though this season had its ups and downs. We experienced a flying start, winning our 5 first matches in the Eredivisie, but after that, the lights went out xD The strikers didn't score, the defenders didn't mark and the midfielders looked drunk as more than half of their passes went astray. Personally, I was running around trying to tackle anything that got close to me.
On a brighter note, I got called up for the Dutch national team on no less than two occasions, playing against Thailand and Senegal.

Today, while I was playing, the transfer window opened and I went to "Club Search", scanning for clubs that would give me a lot of time on the pitch. Then, I added AC Milan and London FC (Chelsea) to my desired clubs.
AC Milan sent some scouts to assess my performance while I played against Groningen. There was interest, but I didn't get my hopes up since my OVR is only 70 at this moment.

It was astonishing to see that a few weeks later, AC Milan came with an offer, for a contract with the duration of 4 years. I can't wait to embark on this new adventure in my BAL career. Hopefully I can get up my OVR a bit more before the end of this second season.

 

[Chasimar]

There are a few questions I have, though.

1. Is it possible to get the Enforcer card in BAL or a card that enables a fluid tackle with less chance of committing a foul? And if this is possible, how do I accomplish this?

2. What skills do I need apart from stamina and defence in order to be a better DMF? Would that be body balance or speed?

 

[a.w]

got screen shots this time.... game is brilliant.... been playing PES for a long time

playing on superstar, 15 minute games : its the only way for me

Awesome stats mate
Too bad there's nothing to spent for that salary
Great stats

 

[Chasimar]

100 OVR, now that's epic I hope to reach that at the end of my BAL career.

 

[absu]

Can someone please tell me if its normal that my player is so magnetized to the ball? Since, no matter what i press (supposedly should be LS + RT), when the ball is in a way loose or passed from AI, in air or on the ground, he runs to it. It even goes so far that he bumps into my own players who already have the ball and either steals them or we both loose it. Its so damn frustrating, im loosing my mind here. Is that just the way it is or can something be done?

 

[Chasimar]

Perhaps you have Auto-Move enabled, I think you can turn that off in System > General Settings in the BAL menu.

As for the player automatically chasing for long balls e.g. when a corner arrives, I haven't found any way to counter that.

Chasi from Kicks MX? Abiego here.. anyway, i had auto-move already off, so it wasnt that.. seems its just that pes offers so much less freedom as Kicks does... Quite dissapointing..

 

[abu97]

Press R1&R2 and your player breaks out of the trance and does what you command him to do

Nice to see you, Abiego. As you know, previously I had a DMF lv 32, now I have a CMF in Kicks.

Back to business; don't forget that Kicks has full pass assistance. You press S + Left for example, and the ball goes straightly to your teammate. In PES you can set the amount of bars to do passes manually, so in that way I reckon PES truly has some freedom implemented. Apart from that, I think the BAL mode is really rewarding, with the addition of national team call-ups and playing time depending on your performance.
