What I REALLY like about the PES 2009 demo (I think)

[MatTheCat]

Who remembers PES 4.

Who remembers the first time they started noticing their mates scoring drag-backs against them with depressing ease? Who remembers thinking "oh well, they have fucked up with ProEv, but that is ok, they will fix it next year"

If u are in the above category and remember what PES was like when there really wasn't any sure fired magic spots or holes in the games AI by which goals could be very readily obtained (last time game was solid was PES3), then like me, u may be very pleased so far with the PES 2009 demo in that the AI JAM PACKS the penalty area / 6 yard box with defenders whenever an opposing attacker gets the ball near to those infamous magic spots. Also i have noticed that hold the ball up too long in and around the danger zones and ur passing goes all skewed and wrong.

dont get me wrong, I have scored drag backs in PES 2009, but only when they have occurred naturally. Any attempts to force them on the game have been frustrated by the games AI. If this feature remains solid and stands the test of multiplayer (especially online multiplayer) then it is one thing that after 5 years, Konami have finally put right.

HOFFENTLICH!

I agree drag backs used to be 90-95% score rate in my games!!!

at the end of the days its your choice if u want to score with Drag Backs, i personally dont do them as its just simple and when playing friends we ban that type of goal.

I prefer the Arsenal way pass pass pass the ball into the net lol.

That was certainly the worst part of the game. Especially online. It was beyond a joke.

Drag backs or Cut back as i call them used to be 1 of the reason i hated online.. it was line no1 had the skill to score good quality gaols past u. just the same ol crap especially with barca.

With online i only used to drag bk or cut bk if the opposition did it 2 me 1st and that the only reason i did that.

hmm, yeh i agree with the fact they became too easy, i stopped using them in previous PES games. The thing is in reality cut backs are as dangerous as in the game as a good winger tries to get to the byeline to cut a cross back into the strikers path. So to not use them at all in the game was a shame. However now it does seem alot harder to do, but when you work it properly in a team move or on a quick counter attack, (rather than a fast player just sprinting down the wing as in PES of old) it can be done well and i have scored a couple of lovely goals using it.
