Right Trigger/R2 Squaring Body

[Montanaro]

Does anyone ever use this on defense in their game? I've been playing a good bit of MLO lately and I never see anyone square up and shuffle their feet except me.

I think it's wonderful, it's easily improved my defensive ability. I used it in the last couple pes's, but not as often as I have been in MLO. Doing so makes it much easier to mark passing options, intercept balls (they dont go right by you, your player seems more aware), and stay marked to an opponent trying to jink by you. Most people online think they will give you a couple flicks and you'll stumble around, but if you use right trigger and keep your player facing the ball, it's a lot more difficult to beat you.

anyway, just curious how much this is used, and if anyone has any tips.

Yea I still use it all the time. Allows much better control while defending.

I mentioned this in my close control thread a few months ago, one of the most crucial things in the game especially effective for holding off players. Less effective with the increase of pressure since the patch, this has made the game less enjoyable for me being gang raped by 5 cpu players for 90 minutes, not realistic.
