Okay, so lately my Pro Evolution soccer 4 gaming skills are decreasing. Right now I'm playing Master LEague with Marmara and bought some players blablabla. But the thing is, I play like crap. I play on *6 stars, and I AM first in the rankings, but my playing just doesn't feel right. These are my problems:

my players never control the ball after a pass well, they always let it bounce, or when the pass comes, they just run away from it!!

I can't shoot well anymore, all my shots are with the inside if the foot (is that the right way to say it?) and I can't shoot in the, uh, kruising, wtf is that in engslish, croch or something, anymore. I used to shoot very well and hard and make beautiful goals but lately they are all just very plain, through pass, inside of the foot placed shoot goal. HOW CAN I SHOOT WITH THE FRONT OF MY FOOT?? DO I HAVE TO USE D-PAD WHILE SHOOTING (which I do)

I can't dribble anymore, my players always lose the ball and stuff.

Now it could be that my controller is just fucked up after all this time of playing, but maybe one of you guys can help me plz. I get very angry and agressive when my players don't do what I want! (especially running away from the ball when I pass it to them!!!!)

EDIT: BTW, I was a fantastic player a few months ago (recently started playing)

I know it's weird but haven't you ever had a period where you just don't play as good as you should. Usualy that passes, but this time I've been playing crap for a week now. And this is my team so you can say if they suck or not:

Wolf
Hursaido
Pique
Pelav
Gieohna
Leito
Heuhongas
Cesc
Mirosevic
D. Milito
Fernando Torres.



But the main thing is the shooting problen. How do I hit the ball hard. Not precision shots but slammers?

I'd suggest you stop playing ML for a while and play exhibition matches with Brazil, France or other similar teams on red form arrows and kick some ass. Or perhaps you need to start a new ML campaign with a new team.

I'm assuming you know all about the form arrows, player stamina+fatigue bars and the ML CPU cheating.

Yeah, lol especialy the last one ML CPU cheats like hell. Sometimes on of their guys just walks past 5 defenders of mine without them even touching him:p Maybe you'r right though, I'll try playing with France etc.

Hmm, here's a thought and I know you might not have really considered this idea. Is it the possibility you just blow at the game? Matter of fact I know you suck balls at the game, and don't give me this nonsense that a few months ago you were good,..blah blah crap. I think the only reason you thought you were good because at your part-time job a the mental institution you played a bunch of drooling retards. So after you mastered the art of retard opponents. You decided to step up and play your 5 year old brother who has one arm by the way, and to your dissmay you have a hard time beating him. I think you need to look in the mirror and realize that you sucked all along and on top of that you ugly. I pity you and I hope one day you realize that you lucky that I have mentioned this to you and I saved you alot of heartache in the future.

Playing on 6 stars means that you are ready to play like a pro. The first thing to do is switch the player cursor to manual. The reason you have to do this is because your opponent's players move sometimes 3 players at a time. You have to move two defenders at a time when defending and you can’t afford to let the game change players for you when you are the one who is supposed to close all the gaps between defenders.
If you are controlling a player who is facing an opponent holding the ball, hold your position without tackling. Hold the [] button and observe which second player on your team starts moving to eventually close the gap. For example, if your second player pressing is coming from above, move your own player manually from bottom upwards. Once the gap is closed and you see the opponent reacting by changing his course, quickly tap L1 while holding [] and you will find yourself ready to take the ball.
A pro never holds [] when he is running behind an opponent. Tap L1 and let the player behind do the pressing while you manually close the gap in front of the opponent. When I play with a mate on my team, he usually keeps the cursor on auto change with 4 out of 8 bars full in the player settings screen. He loves to play with me because he can jump in any of my pressing players by tapping L1 before I do and he makes sure non of the gaps are open to attackers.
Once you get the hang of this defending tactic, your attack will be easier.

To add percission to your pass, hold R2 and the receiving player will handle it more smoothly.

"I can't shoot well anymore, all my shots are with the inside if the foot (is that the right way to say it?) and I can't shoot in the, uh, kruising, wtf is that in engslish, croch or something, anymore.

If you are close to the keeper and need to shoot the ball around him towards the net, hold R2 as you press []. Another tip; release R2 before shooting to regain some speed to the ball.

Luay, that was very sound defensive advice, good man. I would just like to say that 6 star is complete and utter nonsense. The COM doesnt play better it just plays more agressively which makes the game completely hectic and unenjoyable. Needless to say in ML it is an utter nightmare becuase in ML the playability decreases for some reason. It is practically impossible to create attacks in the middle in either ML or exhibition because you almost never stand a chance against their defenders. Trying to maneuver inside the box is madness, they always seem to catch it at the last moment before you make the pass or the shot. Your best bet is to attack down the wings. All you have to do is make a thru pass from your right back or midfielder to your side midfielder or winfger at the right time and cross it low (cross it pressing lob twice). That almost never fails except the COM always tackles recklessly if you are getting away. Rest assured that volleys are nearly impossible to perform because their defenders always close you down and always seem to be in the right place at the right time. You can make the occasional long shot or even a 1-2 incursion down the middle if the situtation is favorable. I dont like 6 star at all but anything lower is just ridiculous once you have nearly mastered the game.

I started playing on 6 stars because when I previously played on 5 stars in the Champion's League, I beat Barcelona 4 nil and I admit it was a disappointment. When playing in 6 stars, I felt that the game was out of control and knowing that control is the name of the game, I knew there was something missing. I checked the details in formation/tactics and new game abounded. This is when the addiction to this game kicked in.

I've chosen original team and exchanged 3 Minanda, Ceciu and any one else being paid 483 except castro, with Cavenaghi, sneider and 1 South Korean player younger than 23 and with a frightening growth rate. During midseason I get 5 more Korean players (go to parameter search, choose age below 23 or 24 and choose South Korea to see the heavenly list of above average players with unbeatable prices and who are good enough to help you win the league. Not to mention the extra cash you make from selling them after growing them). Iran has two good players too.
Any way, with Cavengi and sneider in front I change the team's original formation from 3-5-2 to 4-4-2 A without altering anything except the new players. Cavenagi is Cf and Sneider is a left winger with two attacking arrows pasted, one to the bottom front for his right footed drives, the other arrow pointed upwards for his left foot cross ( he plays with both legs), you can put Sneider back in his original position in middle field after getting a proper wing.

Sometimes if I cut the ball I quickly switch on left counter attack by tapping R2 with the set button I choose and send the ball towards sneider, as he will be running towards the other half of the goal, the difference when using this tactic is that the left side back and the offensive middle fielder will be in close range to you to add more variations in your attack.

If I score early in the game and the AI starts using his cheap counter tactics. I switch on counter attack and forward press. As soon as you cut the ball without letting the opponent foul you and stop the play, 2 or 3 passes or one drive towards the winger to position him for the cross is great against any attacking team.

If your opponent's forward succeeded in creating chances and you suspect he will score next time, don't hesitate to mark him in formation during play.

If you the opponent's defenders are marking your forward and they are too fast for you, switch CHANGE SIDES on as soon as you cut the ball and take a look at your radar screen. You will see the MF and F players switching side with almost no one being able to mark them. One good long push on the through pass button with L1 in the right direction or just 2 or 3 passes with x will get you to the goal.

These are simple tactics for the few players you have in the beginning, as your team evolves, so should your tactics. Hopefully you will appreciate the challenge of the game then.

Muad'Dib, Ad'Dibhum!

4-1-2-1-2 (4-4-2A) for an average team, 4-2-2-2 (4-4-2B) for a team with high skills,
2-4-2-2 (like classic Brazil) when It's time to clean house.

I think fellows at Konami put some original thought in the classic Brazil formation. Here we have a team with only the best players in the history of Brazil, which formation gets the best out of them? I trust in Konami and I can't think of any better formation for the dream Team. If you have two superb side backs with high skills in offense and defense, then moving them from SB to SMF is all you need for your side players to control the middle field, including the offensive and defensive area and make a better connection with the other players in defense, Middlefield and offense. CBs have to be exceptionally fast with high stamina because they will do alot of running and Mistakes in defence are unforgiven.
