Most of the tips above are right. Just want to add that you can socre top/bottom corner as well. And if you're good enough also over/around the wall. Also, any palyer with Shot power/FK Acc/Curling/Tech in mid-high 80's can score. Sometimes the player with the best FK stats may not suite...

For those of us who played the WE series, it's always better. This year I'm forcing myself to spend time with PES5, although I also have WE9. Every year I get WE then PES then after a week or two go back to EW. The games are essentially the same. But the gameplay feel is totally different...

Devil_Crazy bout right right on this. Defences on PES5 ore top class though. I have no problem threading thru ball too, although with less success rate than prev. version where they were way too effective until it became cheap. Wait for the run then release. Also I notice, the highe up...

This is basic 2v1 move. I always use the thru-ball (triangle) in this situation and it usually comes off perfectly. Although my guy with the ball is slightly behind/square with the last defender. The key, is timing when you execute the pass. It HAS to be before your 2nd forward is square...

You can't, unless someone makes a loan offer. When there are offers from multiple clubs for a young player, make sure to scroll thru using R2/L2 at the nego screen(under 'my team'). One of these might just be a loan offer. In PES5, young players still improve even though you don't play them...

Contrary to what others say, there is aftertouch. However it is very slight and need to be done split-second after kicking. This slight curl is then determined by your players curling stat. When using R2 'controlled shot' the aftertouch 'curl' is more noticable. Use practice mode...

There are better examples of fair-play in the game than as described in the 1st post. In the scenarion aobve , I would have had preferred play to go on as England had possesion in/around the Argie's box. If the ref had decided to call play back for J.Cole critical injury, he could have done...

Although I admit that some of you points are true like commentary and such, but I feel you don't have as good and undertanding of the game as you think you have as a so called 'veteran' player. For instance you make a big deal that GK can't drop a ball when in possession. Well, I'cant recall...

All of these reasons are why the game has been tweaked to make shohoting much more difficult abd better IMO. I am quite good at finishing and the only tips I can say that you'll need are: 1. Be aware of each of your players abilities (response, agility, shot pwr/acc, shot tech and...

My feelings exactly. WE all know why we play WE/PES. Flash & brash are not one of the reasons. Pick up and play, it definitely isn't. Cheers.

Its very true, I've noticed this since WE9. If the keeper is 'unsighted', you have a higher chance of scoring a goal. (i.e he'll react at the last moment. Your own players are also now (sometimes) intelligent enough to move out of the way if the shot is heading towards goal. However I feel...

What he means is foot selection. By pressing R2 doesn't change the selected foot. It just goes sidefoot. Sometimes the fo @hagan, you could try to check your stance a bit before shooting OR try this: I had the same problem with Ronaldo too. He's actually two footed and equally comfortable...

Yeah pieabc123, he may have not mastered the 'new' control method yet. I remember you said you have WE9. In WE9 once you get it down, the control is so sweet. I have to sympathise with the guy though. In PES5 the ball is much 'bouncier' than WE9. Even with R2 it does bobble a bit more...

Actually I kinda like the pentagon thing (is this what you meant by 'bars'). At a glance you'd tell the quality of the your/opposition team. Also takes up less screen space. But's that's all like 'on paper' to me. Its during match that it really matters, and to me I feel that since this year...

new Boomtown review gave PES5 10/10. Although I think it's more due to the reviewers tilt.
