Hello everyone,
I've been trying the last years to replicate this great team on PES 2021 and frankly I find it quite annoying. I've been using the real life formation (in attack Messi is positioned almost in the midfield as a SS, Villa as a LWF attached to the wing, Alves as a RMF, Pedro as RWF positioned more centrally etc.) tactics and advanced instructions (like "tiki-taka", "false-9"etc.), I've been using Messi in the Classic no.10 role as deep as possible to remain a SS (rather than CAF) but still, most often than not, the situation is extremely frustrating vs. CPU:
-Almost all CPU teams are parking the bus against me (often despite not having this advanced instruction), almost as an instinct against the "tiki-taka" instruction.
-This leads to no room to navigate for players like Iniesta and especially Messi, to have his distinctive solo runs, as he is heavily guarded all the time
-This probably has more to do with the game as a whole, in more challenging difficulties ( I play in Superstar), the best strategy to score is to look for the counter. And this way, I often enjoy my time with the game. But it is a shame that I can't enjoy my favourite team (Barca 2010/11), because the game is not build for those possession teams, at least in the higher difficulties.
-One aspect is as I said, the game itself. I have edited this version of Messi and has a 99 in almost all dribbling categories. Despite this, he struggles to dribble in tight spaces. Maybe it is my level of playing the game, I bet some Pros can do better, but the average Joe cannot pull this level of dribbling in tight spaces in Superstar. Then of course you can decrease the difficulty, but then the opposing team will play like a headless chicken. Lose/lose situation...
Any ideas on how to optimize the situation?
