But what if you're hanging on for a draw against a higher ranked player? What if the opposition are blatantly better than you and you want to avoid a thrashing? What if it's in the final minutes, you've had two men sent off, and it's 2-1 to you? If they don't have the ball, they can't hurt...

This is not fact, just the thoughts of someone who's played these games a lot [ISS Deluxe, anyone?] CF are 'traditional' forwards: depending on who they are/their abilities/their attacking arrows/their defence arrows/their special abilities [eg Post Player], they will more often that not be...

-people that just keep passing to keep their possession up with no attack Surely we all want to keep the ball as much as possible, whether it's for attacking or defensive reasons? Completely agree with the rest, though, and would like to add another: people who say "That was unfair" when...

Patch is good, and is how the game should have been originlly released.

Well, I may not be 100% accurate with the R2 thing; it might be R1+R2. One of them is Super Cancel [which deserves a thread of it's own] and the other is 'control player while ball is airborne', which is what I was trying to tell you about. Sorry! I really thought some other people who come...

For what's it's worth, I think having a striker that's too good can spoil the game. How many of us have abandoned Master Leagues because they get boring? Stuff your team full of Yashins, Baresis, Keanes and Henrys and you should win most games without any trouble. I found buying...

ok, wow man, i was really good at pes3 and 4, never touched 5 and 6 because i was locked up, lol. Mate, if you've been locked up, you're as good as you say are....hope the tips are useful. I'm sure some better players will be along shortly.

You have 3 options: 1. Play like Arsenal, and hope to score more than you concede 2. Play how you want, and just enjoy it 3. Create a formation just to beat this one guy I'd advocate the first couple, but if you really, desperately want to beat him, change your SBs to CBs; usually negates...

Surely the days of 'one formation for all situations' is long gone? Don't we all change during games, depending on the situation?

Sorry, mate, but there's more to it than pressing the tackle button. You need to sort out a defensive 'shape' [see Advanced Formations threads for more info, particularly the first post on changing formations mid-game]. How many defenders do you play? Would you rather strikers went...

Hmm, not sure about that, although I was beating a Div 1 player when my connection was cut and the recorded result was a 3-0 defeat [jf69 was his moniker, I think]. No other connection problems ever. Totally agree that Barca, Brazil, etc. are too good, and allow mediocre players to use stats...

Sounds good so far. Possession is important [although tonight I got a 70/30 split in my favour and still lost 1-0]. So is taking chances. But is that really news? If you want to win, play wingers and use long passes to find them. And be Barca [or any of the teams the OP mentioned]. If you...

Surely the most important question to consider is what type of team you're trying to build, and what styles of football you want to play? On the break and on the deck, Anelka. Structures and channels, Santa Cruz. Flowing and fancy, Larsson. Build a team around 1 man, Eduardo. Sorry...

"Nice one, another cut-back goal. Way to vary the play man" "Barcelona/Brazil/Inter/ManU - Brave team choice man" Yes, these are 2 TOP phrases I'd like to deliver....

Unless I'm kicking there ass, then I put scrubs in to make fun of them. So you kick their ass, then 'put scrubs in'? That sounds bloody painful. [Seriously, that wasn't a typo, was it? 'C' and 'R' are miles away!] Sorry to be pedantic, but I am an English teacher...

Yeah I used to do that to. Used to incense me when opposition players didn't follow suit [I remember losing a tournament to Laurent Blanc header after he'd retired].

Defending is done as a team. Unless you're Real Madrid from a few years ago, you can't just have a couple of good defenders and assume you'll win tackles. Actually, that didn'y work for them Raul Bravo, anyone? Also, having a CB with the Defensive LIne ability makes a real difference with...

Does anyone else have a problem playing players in the game they think are cheats/have fallen out of favour/just don't like? I used to play with France and dropped Makelele from my team [and squad] when I saw him keel over holding his face when the ball struck him on the leg [Champions League...

Isn't 'The Liverpool Tactic' to give it to Gerrard and hope for the best? Oh, now they give it to Torres, or when they're really screwed Crouch... [Sorry, just don't like Liverpool or their tactics].

While we're on this [and I know this should strictly speaking be on the Moaning Thread] but who else misses the option to mix and match the kits? E.g. having England's home kit but swapping the shorts to away? Sad I know but this was was favourite new feature of the game when it was...
