I really hate defending and players switching in this game... it's like playing Russian Roulet... You never know when your player will decide to take or touch the ball.. most of the time they just touch, tickle the opponent but nothing else makes the ball go past and that's it... The more I play the more nonsense in this game. Looks now the AI deciding what and when things will happen in defense, with the taking of the ball and the player's reaction, and I have to wrestle with the buttons and watch after being locked in a tickle and fight animation. So I found an easy way to the defense.. just don't defense manually at all

.. let the AI do it for you. Cover the area or the player who will eventually pass the ball and hold the second player button to press the opponent with a ball .. this proves to be the most efficient way for defending. The co-op will be a mess
How now you can push the ball forward just before shot or pass? Before was R2+rigth stick, in PES 6 was R1+L1, now its gone.
How you can stop your player immediately in every direction?? Before was holding R1, now players are stoping but turning to the opponent player...
With PA1 the passes are all over the place... I hate it.
I LOVE to dribbling and to make tricks combos!!! In every PES ... in every football game I'm always try to learn and use all advance tricks dribblings now after 30 games still, I'm more sure that changing these to FINES dribbling (it's basically old close control but with bit more animations... Konami love to put old stuff with new names) on the right stick and to friked up R2 is awful decision...
It's starting to make less sense after each match... NOW you have the football game that you moving your player with booth sticks.. and, that should be more precisely and correctly... what? WHO SAY THAT.. somebody who does not have an idea from basic game mechanics...
Someone will say .. "Look, it's not so bad .. you can get used to" .... yes, of course, you can get used to it with everything, you can even get used to having an arrow in your "back" .. but is it better not to have an arrow stuck in the "back"?
All that was possible to be made with R2+ Left stick. Next year let's single stick to control the single foot, Left the left foot and right the right foot .. will be so much fun.
