It's been a better Pes 18 since the latest update,and I know your "tricks" improves it as well.
But this game is so unreliable,two three good ML games are mixed with 2-3 absolutely unplayable games.
I still play league mode,but ML is a no go zone
Yes, the game can definitely be strange. End to end play - starting with those direct oulets to the strikers. Hit or miss, I agree.
No way,the game is simply too fast on +1
I would say that is true, until I tried it. It's maybe .5 fast, and I'll take that as the ball movement is much more in-sync with the players' movements.
In the video the CPU doesnt press at all in your own half. As soon as you win the ball from their attacker they retreat. I had your video clip on silent as i didnt want to wake my family so im not sure if you mentioned it. I know this was a problem in earlier versions so it seems they have not addressed it in their updates.
Yes, I mention that in the video they are on all out defense and low defense. It's always a matter of the attack/defense + all out defense choices. All out defense, in general, is one of the worst tactical choices in the game. Whoever thought of it needs to be let go or sent to Brad Bobley's soccer camp.
Actually, Matt, I did the same a few months ago. I too was skeptical. Very.
But After a few matches I found myself more focused on the game and having more fun.
A little advice though, since I know you also play it on PC, get Nesa's latest gameplay modules so instead of going +1, you can go +0.5 which is still faster and better but not too much
That's crazy, I figured you probably would have. Surely you posted about using the +1 somewhere?
Thanks for the heads up, may give it a go. Honestly, not too fussed about +1 right now, as games are playing quite good for once. Have accepted it's just about that time to move on to 19.
I only play on +1. It makes the ball and goalkeeper less floaty and animations and gameplay more fluid.
Man, Im not trying to convince anyone or critisize anyone opinions here but, after I tried manual shot Im really think this is the best football game ever made.
The graphics, the animations are so authentic. Looking at replays highlights its almost looks like a real football match. Looking closer you notice your player looking up the field before he makes a long pass.
The difficulty, the pressure, the build up, the pace, the ways you can set your formations and tactics. The gameplay have some variation against the CPU.
For what i've been seen on PES 2019 videos, the animations and footplanting are looking worse than 2018, I have the slitghtest impression that I will end up getting back to 2018.
Just upload a full match playing against France. Unfortnently I forgot to set overtime and penalties on, but it was a good match anyway. Cheers.
I think +1 in addition to the 5-second fix are key here to get that compression really down. Trying to mimic that idea of putting players in front of eachother's passing lanes. Just a little bit can make all the difference in the world - especially when the CPU loves sending the ball direct to their attackers...right through the middle of the pitch.
I'll check out the video for sure. Not too sure about manual shooting in PES. I'm not sure why I feel that way either though as I use manual for pretty much everything in FIFA. I guess I have always felt PES plays true to stats. Ironically, PES 2018, to me, is the game that plays so much further from stats than any PES out there. Go figure.

DIVING in my box!
