it is not! as i said before: please get to know the new controls! do yourself the favor!
i love the new possibilites atm that R1 offers (besides sprinting in various speeds)!
R2 trough legs isnt that hard to do. R2+L1 neither. btw: 2 different things!
It absolutely is broken. It’s nothing to do with simply ‘learning new controls’, I’m perfectly happy to learn something new.
I’ll explain to you exactly why the controls are fucked:
PES 2019 had something that Fifa has forever found difficult to implement - doing a trick with your first touch. It was incredibly easy to do as well, simply hold the right analogue stick in any direction you choose. That’s it. That’s all it needed.
The beauty with this method was because no other controls were mapped to the right stick it was 100% reliable and you could do every single trick in the game the moment you receive the ball. It was fantastic. Yes, you may not always do the trick you wanted, but it was down to the player inputting the wrong command as supposed to the game going mad. You couldn’t accidentally do anything that wasn’t a trick of some sort because nothing else used the right stick.
Now they’ve mixed and matched them up. The finesse dribble has taken its place, and with it the ability to do simple step overs has increased 10x because you now have to hold R2 as well. I challenge you, or anyone here for that matter, to go into the 2020 demo and try doing a basic step over the moment you receive the ball: R2 + Right stick left or right of the the player + left stick to move. Its the most basic of football skills yet PES has made the simple stuff far more awkward than the advanced stuff! It’s easy to do out wide because you have all the time in the world to get ready, but honestly, try doing it in the box the moment a player gets it. It’s ridiculously hard. You’ll end up either letting the ball go through your legs by accident because that’s moved to R2 for no reason, or the game won’t register your even holding it and instead go into a finesse dribble or do a skill that doesn’t require holding R2.
By contrast, the mgeady spin or Marseille turn is nothing more than forwards on the right stick + left or right on the left stick. So now the advanced skills are so much easier to do than basic stuff??? Really, everyone here talks about realism, so why is it FAR easier to make Chiellini do a damn roulette spin than a simple step over???
So no, it’s nothing to do with learning something new, it’s the fact they’ve made certain skills require multiple inputs where they are not needed, and made too many things require the use of the same button at the same damn time.
It would be so easy to fix as well!
- hold R2 to finesse dribble
- right stick for skills
- R1 for the ball to go through your legs.
Problem solved! No overlap as R1 is dedicated to sprinting / dummies etc, R2 is dedicated to finesse dribble, and right stick is dedicated to skills. That’s how good controls are designed. Anything that uses the same button should be something that either compliments existing controls, or it uses it in a totally different situations so as not to cause any conflict. PES 2020 just creates conflict for no reason.
Other stuff also makes no sense; double tap L1 to trap the ball without facing the goal? Why can’t I just tap it to stop dead, and hold it to face the goal??? Why, just because Fifa does it this way means you can’t too? Making a player press a button twice when only once is needed is just dumb and creates room for error where none is needed.
It’s almost like they’ve made it like this not to be intuitive, but because Fifa uses R2 for their finesse dribbling and Konami don’t want to copy it.
