@broxopios defending in v 0.9.1 was much more manual, but old school pes players wanted back the old automatic defending mechanics, so Konami reverted it .
i use the ultra graphics mod, and cap the Fps to 80fps. I love the graphics in night mtaches with ultra graphics as you can notice a special lighting on players depending on their position on the field.
I wish the ball had 4 shadows aswell instead of 1, which reminds me of mid 90 's games.
Finally, I am a FUMA lover, but .. i noticed that pass trajectories are very linear. With assisted passing you notice spin, curves and much more variety. Also I get the impression that in manual, passing stats have no effect, but with assisted stats do matter.
