hm, what's to stop them pausing and changing it back to ping-pong in their controller settings?

Good point. Be interesting to see how they implement this.

another one, it seems that Murphy only mentions quick match, not good enough, there should be lobbies IMO.

Surly quick match is the most popular game mode online?

Hopefully this turns out good.

I honestly doubt this. most of my friends on PSN are PES players and I don't know anyone who plays quick matches. in any case, why does it have one or the other? both would be the logical solution IMO.

exactly, let the ping pongers have seperate lobbies where they will need 3 times as many matches to earn the same amount of points as an unassisted players. And also, any assistance should have seperate lobbies, last thing I wanna see is a 0-3 bar assisted lobby. Unassisted - assisted should be the distinction.

god - i pray that konami will levae all those assistant-options out of next games... this is hell of a mess...

I just downloaded the update, NO CHANGE WHATSOEVER!!! Still ping-pong whores passing with back to target via laser guided US defense system GPS technology.

You gotta go to Quick Match preferences. there are no 0 assistance lobbies per se.

 

[johnking]

think it only works in friendly matches.

Ok I just tried to look for a 0 bar opponent on Quick Match, and the search timed out and said "No opponent found" after searching for about 5 minutes. It's either the 0 bar guys haven't got the patch yet, OR they don't know how to set the function. I'm being very optimistic lol.

For those who aren't sure, these are the steps:

1. When you are online, go to Options.
2. Online Settings
3. Quick Match Settings
4. Pass Support.
5. After that, go to Quick Match, Ranking Match(1v1) or whichever you prefer.
6. Wait for a long time to find that rare 0 bar opponent if they even exist.

Hopefully, it gets better when more people download the patch.

This is disappointing that it's only in quick match that you can set assistance preferences

I'd hoped for lobbies where assisted couldn't be used

 

[jammiedodger]

Also it says it looks for similar pass assist settings. Now does that mean exact settings as yourself or is it be looking for someone say with it set to 1 or 2 if you have it at zero.

 

[theCRO]

to be fair, since the patch I've not played against a strict ping-pong artist, and I've won 5 in a row.

Thats good to hear theCRO. However, I've not been able to find a Quick Match opponent at all! Just been playing in the normal lobbies, and I find it's not so hard against the RM and Barca idiots.
