ok people, i need some help, and i guess that's the right thread to ask (at least i hope). i've been fiddling with the tactic sliders but i just can't seem to get my team playing as i want them to, and i could really use a help to sort it out, as i have very little time for gaming (i play pes only once a week and for just about 1 hour... me and a friend of mine have a master league offline going on -we play on the same team- and that's our only gaming time for the whole week, so, as u can understand, we don't have much time to run some tactic tests ourselves).
that's our problem. no matter how much time we spend trying to adjust the formation, our defensive line (fucking idiots, i wouldn't call them a line anyway) is always way too high (almost across the midfield line). it's just surreal, i have "
defensive line" set on
4 and "
pressing" on
4 too. and yet they still keep shifting the line forward. i thought it might have been a problem of discipline, so i even lowered "
position switch" to
3 but nothing.
sometimes we find ourselves being up by 2 goals at halftime.... and then in the second half we get 2 ridiculous goals on the counter, because our 2 cbs were completely out of position and way too high up the pitch. this is getting very frustrating for both me and my friend, so i thought to look for some experts advice.
we play a 4-3-1-2 formation (it's not really a diamond midfield. we have 3 midfielders on the same line (across the midfield line) and then a trequartista doing his thing up ahead). this are our sliders.
player support - 13
support range - 10
position switch - 3
attacking style - 7
pressing - 4
defensive line - 4
compactiveness - 10
any help would be much appreciated guys... i would really love to nail my cbs' sorry asses to the box.

oh and i have another question. when i enter the formation screen a windows pops up asking me to choose betweeen
Leave to manager -
simple settings - or
change manually.
i obviously pick "change manually" (coz i wanna edit the formation myself) and then another windows pops up asking me if i "
would like to keep using the one-thouch settings"? what the hell are theese one touch settings? i usually choose "
yes" but i really don't know what i'm replying "yes" to..... do u think that coud be the reason why, despite having the "defensive line" value set to 4, my cb still play so high up the pitch???
sorry for my long post and boring newbish questions, and thanks again
p.s. Klashman, thanks for that great tactics explanation post in the first page.

it was a great read and i tried to adjust my settings according to your explanation... but i guess i did a pretty poor job anyway
