Hello.
I love PES, and PES 2019 is pretty damn good, but it has a very big problem when played against the AI; it refuses to shoot unless it has the ball in a central position around 16 yards or closer to the goal. We are one day after the worldwide release and this issue continues to be reported more and more, it's not isolated to me and it happens no matter which AI team is playing, be it Barcelona or Motherwell.
However, this year, the shooting problem is a much bigger issue and for me, it's a deal-breaker. I cannot play against the AI if they are hard-coded to only shoot in these extremely limited circumstances; it is a game-breaking issue with regards to Master League. I am making this post in the vain hope that not only will they be made aware of the issue, but that they'll see it's a serious enough problem to actually try and fix.
I have played the game for over 11 hours already, lots and lots of matches (Superstar difficulty). Many people are reporting the same problem.
A similar post has been made on the PES subreddit.
Please don't take this as a negative post; I love this game and the series. I want to see it improve and I think everybody would like to see the same thing.
Thanks for reading.

- 90% of the time, it will only cross the ball on the ground, to achieve the aforementioned position.
- Even when 1 on 1 with the goalkeeper, with no other AI player as far forward, the AI player will slow down and wait for a pass to the central position, even if the nearest player is 20 yards back. The player will not attack the goal.
- If the AI has the ball in an amazing shooting position almost centrally, but it has another player even more centrally-positioned, it will always without fail, pass the ball to the other player. By "an amazing shooting position" I mean 8 yards out from goal with no defender in front of them, yet they still always try and pass.
- The AI won't shoot from distance, or any wide position.
