It worked 100%. The monent you did it the opponent wss imobolised 100%. By making the opponent foul you, i wouldn't call it fake shoot , i would call it , manually trigger the malicia player skill.
Except for this , think about it with football philosophy and human reason in a real life situation. When you play football, you make tricks and feints to distract the opponent, not to make him kick your legs. It is against the human nature.
Tricks are NOT just a distraction. Tricks have one goal only; to gain an advantage. If that advantage is the space needed for a shot, to gain a foul in a dangerous position or even just to make your opponent take an extra quarter-second to commit as they aren't sure what you might do. Learning to take a kick or too is part of playing football well. You might even deliberate do it to a single defender as you think you might get him carded into being more conservative or even sent off. Human nature in any competition is all about doing what you can to win. You win by taking advantage of ever situation. This is what tricks are for.
This is why C.Ronaldo wasn't entirely successful when he first join Man Utd. He played out wide, tried too many tricks and did not get enough end product. He often wasn't doing tricks when there would be an advantage. For example he'd take on the fullback and trick past him and swing the ball in only to find that he hadn't checked to make sure he had an attacker in the box. When he learned to look around him and sometimes just wait with the ball and not do a 'trick' until he could gain a real advantage; that was when he started being very effective.
It's not hyperbolic at all. Load up WE9LE/PES5 and play training mode, with the feature to press Select to retry the same shots. You get huge variation in dip/swerve on volleys especially. Without making my own video I just found this on Youtube.
This combination of dip and swerve just cannot happen in 2020. Nothing swerves in 2020 except basic R2 shots that move more like a frisbee than a football.
There were rising shots/dipping shots without artificial player traits, swerve on volleys/first time shots, many more scuffed/skied shots etc. Better free kick mechanics too (i.e. not a guaranteed goal every time).
We have nicer and more varied animations now, but the shooting mechanics are dreadful in comparison.
I'm sorry, but I fail to understand what this video shows? I'm sorry you haven't seen the ball move like that or a player take a shot like that yet? They do happen in this version. It's just rare (how many shots like your video do you see in a season across the entire world?) I've seen volleys like that in this version. It just didn't 'work out', usually because the player wasn't good enough to have a high chance of success. I've see sliced miss-kick shots on the volley, passes where my player jumped and kicked it over his shoulder from behind with the back of his heel and I've seen player volley the ball into the floor for a weird bouncing shot that went over the bar.
In PES 6, if you re-kicked that ball ten times, your volley would ONLY vary in flight based on the skill of the player. You do that same shot with Classic Pele and he'd hit it the exact same way and end up with that same goal each time. In 2020 (and not for a fair few year) you get a lot more actual variation.
Nostalgia has nothing to do with it, the default setting shot of the Ps2 games had waaay more nuances than the basic one of the new era, it's a fact. In 2020 shooting it's kinda saved from the fact this year the difference from bad and good shooters is more marked than usual, but to me for a number of reasons (gk too op, less variations, less control) it is the worse fundamental by far of the game by far. Luckily most of the rest is damn good that I don't find it game breaking.
You have huge nuance in this version, not mentioning the fact that you have far more control over shots than before if you pick manual shooting or advanced (which I haven't used in anger yet). Even on basic, I can pick which of the four corners of the goal I want to hit and how (placed, curved, chipped, driven, on the sprint, off-balance early, standing, knocked in front for the classic run-up). There are great historic version of PES that I truly loved. But it's incredibly rare that I even want to go back even a single years version, let alone 15 and if you really did go back and play them side by side (any old version really), you'd see that the nuance you remember is either the same or likely better in the current version.
. If you don't believe me, it's no skin off my nose. This is a low reward hard to pull off manoeuvre so I'm not going to spend time trying to recreate the situation just to prove you wrong. You say they don't happen often enough, but I'm sorry you're being highly unrealistic. These are a rare amazing strike. If they happen often they simply wouldn't be special and there's a reason pros don't often attempt them (as they usually end up slicing them for a throw-in and looking silly).
