Are the players 'retarded'

[gunnerglow]

You can tell in the first couple of minutes which team the Konami A.I favours.

If your fast players are slow, your strong players are weak, the referee calling free-kicks every-time you player just touches a player, players freezing on the pitch when the ball is in front of them and rebound after rebound goes to the opposition then the A.I favours the opposition especially if you play D5 players. I just had a game against a D5 player where Gutierrez of speed 71 outrun my defender Perea of speed 96 in the first minute.

If the Konami A.I is against you you will have 10 minutes of pain watching you players act retarded on the pitch, unfortunately this is how Konami handles A.I, instead of programming decent A.I for player they just cripple players stats to make it look like players are good. I have lost count how many time my defender will let the ball past him if an opponents good passer passes the ball, instead of just sticking their foot out and getting the ball my defender will lift their leg up and let the ball run past them.

intersting thread.

I agree. Sometimes, for no apparent reason, my team play retarded, another day they are on fire. Its a sick handicap system

REMOVE IT - or at least dumb it down.

tell me about it,

i am in div 5 atm with a quality team including fabregas and tevez.
i have been in div 3 made the play offs in div 4 cup and have got the 9 points in ml open yet not gone through on goal difference.

i had been doing really well and was concentrating on building my team up mainly gettin the money from the open as it pays more, but since signing better players i find it harder against the div 5 teams.

when tevez is up against stremmer or valeny he seems to always come out 2nd.
this is a joke. i dominate most div 5 teams and yet the keepers and the woodwork always save the opposition.

many dont realise when complaining about playing quality sides in div 5, that they are at an advantage a majority of the time, due to the handicap.
also finnancially it doesnt pay, i have lost money in tourneys by getting 7points and under.

so basically when do play enough games for that quality squad you need to ensure consolodation in div 3 or 4. otherwise u consistantly loose money or just break even.

i score more goals generally against the better sides. for example the other day played in open cup , played 6 games won 5 lost won. one was div 2, 3 were div 3 and the won i lost.... div 5.

followed that up with the d5 cup..
played 6 -lost 4-won 1-drew 1

cant wait til tues n promotion!!!

I don't have a great team. Probably average low 70s in D5 but I found myself losing to a default team 3-0 yesterday where my players literally would not move.

I think it is partly a server problem where commands don't transfer to the pitch but also stupid AI handicap.

I also find that sometimes when I tap X (PS3) the ball is passed almost automatically and some games when I tap it it the player sorta moves it a meter ahead of him...

I am sick of KONAMI really... way to kill a great looking game by shitty software skills. I went back to playing BF2:Bad company just because I cannot stomack FIFA by EA )

Just a shame you have to go that far back to find a positive...

I really do hope they solve the issues for 2012. Just not sure they will.

I'm sure they will!
They will just (in pes tradition ) introduce a whole lot more flaws.
