I have been editing the game play of PES games on the PC, PS2 and PS3 since PES5.
I started off using global stat editing on the PC and PS2, then when I moved to the PS3 and due to being unable to edit the option file on the PC, I started editing each player individually so that each team played more realistic.
The last few years games I have made much more challanging. Compared to the default game play, the opposition will have more possession, pass the ball around better and attack and defend in more complex, intelligent patters.
The main thing is getting the balance between defence and attack right. Even with the best teams, you should not have a team penned into their half all game.
I increase the enjoyment you get out of using smaller clubs and also make them a lot more difficult to play against, whilst trying to keep each club like there real team.
I also tweak shooting, passing and the game speed.
From playing the demo, I would say that shooting technique needs dropped. Passing seems ok. I normally also work on making forwards says ahead of defenders if they should relating to the speed of the players. In the demo 1, this had gone too far and all players seemed to stay ahead of defenders. I will look at how this is in the released game and see if it needs tweaked.
This year I will also be looking dribbling more closely as well.
I do all of this by adjusting the aggression, teamwork, tenacity, acceleration, speed, shooting technique, shooting, dribbling speed, passing speed, passing as well as anything else I feel needs changed.
