Ex-FIFA player questions

[rdawg1234]

Hi everyone
I am trying to convert myself to pro evo 11 from fiffa 10 and have the following questions. Bought the game today for xbox and so far I like the FIFA controls and AI better.. Maybe you can help change that.

1) how do you do "off the ball runs"?
This is a core part of FIFA as it allows me to tell an adjacent player to start moving towards the goal. This is key when your center mid wants to send the winger running towards the corner. I find that my AI just doesn't move properly

2) any guidance on controls
I played old pes6. Looked through pes11 manual and its a mess of button combos and poorly organized. Is there any consistency to what rb,lb,rt and lt do?

3) champions league
Is there a way to preload the groups from this year?

Any other advice is appreciated. Please don't respond slagging off FIFA. I've played many versions of both games and flip back and forth. Both have strengths and weaknesses.

Thanks

just gonna respond to question one
there is no button to tell your players to run, personally i have no trouble getting my wingers to make runs, its all about the movement of your player who has the ball

1) no trigger run button in pes2011. player run automatically depend on situation and player attributes.

2) search in you tube for feint tutorial.

3) u can change the grouping team. it just random pick not same like real world. so u got to change.

1) U can send ur player forward by pressing LB after passing the ball
All the other movement is based on ur strategy and tactics.

2) In the feint menu u can put in the feints exactly the way u want.

3) Just start up a new CL game with a team that u will use more than once. Put in all the official teams in the official groups like they r now. Befor ur first match starts, save the game. That way u'll always have these settings when u use that team. I know it sucks but I also did it in the World Cup and I had very much fun with it on long term.


Welcome back to PES and loads of fun wished to ya!

Thanks... Couple more

Thanks everyone... Couple more,

When defending,how do you jockey?
Again in fifa I believe you hold LT and your defender will face the person with the ball as they move. RT is turbo so you use both together to sprint back but keep your body facing the person with the ball

Shooting?
How does shot aiming work in this game. Is there a button to deliver a hard driven low show? I believe using LB while shooting is a chip and RB is precision, but I can't manage to keep the ball down when shooting

If you hold R2 your defender will face the opponent, it won't work while running, though.

Shooting is a question of angle, power, mommentum (running or stopped) and player stats.

I like this thread because I am also an ex-FIFA player who finds some of the controls/gameplay a little confusing...

It doesn't seem to me that there is any "jockeying" for position, either in the air or with a stationary ballcarrier. In FIFA, you hold LT, which locks you onto a man and you can then move around with the L stick. Can you actually DO anything while the ball is in the air, or are you just supposed to press the header button when the ball gets there?

Also, somebody on a different forum told me that you actually can send players on runs by pressing right trigger, though I have no idea if this works.

Tap the shoot button for low shots, hold special controls button for placed shots and you can place the shots with the left stick, it just doesn't always listen. Especially if there are defenders covering parts of the path to goal where you aim.
