True, well not enough to judge them properly. Ian Wright raved about Puskas, described him and his drag back as years ahead of his time. Di Stephano is still supposed to be the ultimate CF in many people's opinion, especially Real Madrid fans, but when would a British tv company devote a...

By the measure of winning tuornaments: Uruguay -- FIFA World Cup™ winners 1930, 1950 -- Olympic champions 1924, 1928 -- Copa America winners 1916, 1917, 1920, 1923, 1924, 1926, 1935, 1942, 1956, 1959, 1967, 1983, 1987, 1995 http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/02/en/t/t/p/uru.html Spain...

I agree about Maradonna, maybe he was deducted 3 for that wild 'miss-kick' against the Brazilian lad in the 1982 World Cup. Garrincha is 99 for Dribbling, isn't he? Did anyone see the profile of him that the BBC showed before the 2002 World Cup? I've never seen any other player like...

Most of these players are already covered by the existing Classic Teams, but they draw from a few other countries: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/soccer/world/2002/world_cup/hof/gateway/ And include... Boniek, Zbigniew (1956-) Poland Forward 1978, 1982 (3rd), 1986 Butragueno...

Classic Spain would have to include a lot of their 1982 World Cup squad, and for Portugal 1966 - Eusebio is buyable in the PES shop. UEFA are running a survey from Oct 2003-April 2004 to find the best 250 players in their 50 years: http://www.uefa.com/uefa/news/Kind=256/newsId=116464.html...

I hadn't noticed it before the last World Cup, I thought it was a kind of spinning Elvis impersonation. Circa '73 - Las Vegas style.

Yep, Henry went straight to Man Utd in my game. Crikey!

Yes, but relatively wouldn't he be as good at 5* as well? I'd say pace is his only slight weakness, but a beautiful passer, dribbler and playmaker. A good shot and positining. Plus he can play WF and SMF, as well as OMF. It's frustrating if you have a player that's only effective in one...

Isn't it an option under General Settings in the ML? Acquire Retired Players, or something like that.

I definitely said, "I guess...". Mat, I put Van der Saar up front for Netherlands and he actually did score twice! Defenders mostly have better Keeper Skills than MF's and FW's. f3n, Why ruin the realism of immitating Houllier's bizarre tactics? You could set Switch Sides as a...

Penalty buttons :D Reverse, reverse psychology! You must be as cunning as a fox. I press these buttons, in this order: [edited for troublesome smileys, that should have been buttons] It does a moonwalk, then back-heels it off the goalie's head and in. Works every time.

It is wierd, and it slows down from Double towards Normal speed whenever the ball gets away from the players. As if time were simply a fourth dimension, that could be stretched and shortened, like the spatial properties of solid elastic object :rolleyes: Actually, with some sneaky use of...

Freelancer, "What i really don't like about the bought player feature is that there's no way to put bought players into the classic teams." I agree, open up the Classic Teams to competition for squad places. The best way would be to have a more balanced set of players available, and...

Yep, either edit PES/WE Utd players and transfer them, or over-write a retired or talentless reserve team player. I wanted to leave the two 'spare' teams intact, so I over-wrote a reserve to get Didier Drogba into Marsailles' side.

I tried a few in tournament shoot-outs last night. Does R2 (while holding down and either left or right - depending on the player's dominant foot) lift the ball slightly, about half way up the height of the goal?

They can be useful for winning free kicks/bookings if a tackler goes to ground. Just turn-tight (R1) or side-step (R2) into them. Not a side of the game we like to see...

Has Figo had his legs amputated or something? Passing, playmaking, dribbling, shooting and he can play in several positions. Only weakness I can think of is his Speed/Acceleration. Figo, Rivaldo and Nedved are a good set, all quite versatile in where they can play. Bergkamp and Recoba are...

Yeah, yeah. The [Manual] strategy options can be switched on and off as suits during the game. (There is also the Automatic option). Same with the overall Team Attack/Defence level - the colour bar from Blue to Red underneath the power bar. Quick Settings, seem to effect the Team...

As the manual says, "If the player participates in a match at a position for which he is not suited, the player's abilities will suffer greatly." I guess it could be similar to the effect of poor 'Form' arrows (blue, and purple), taking 6 or 12 pts of the players ratings in certain skills...
