PES 2013 Discussion Thread

Yeah.. animation related gameplay mechanic such as some sudden crossing.. sometimes in a tight angle, cpu suddenly turns 180 degree to launch a cross with little foot swinging (sometimes only with toe poke :FAIL:). Guess, the ball will land in a dangerous position inside my box. Note that we can do it too, lol. :TTTH:

Menu presentation, sigh, is it only made by pure programmer without artistic sense :OOOH:

I actually dont mind the spartan menu system and find it more pleasing to the eye than FIFA's. FIFA is just too garish in its color scheme... a bit too American and snazzy for my British tastes. (LOL)
 
No one answered this I don't think?

There's two different settings screens. One is the match screen settings and it has a long list of options. Leave the cursor turned ON in there.

Then go into your Assistance Settings and you can toggle between player name/number etc. I think that's what you're looking for :)

Thanks for replying CalcioCalabrese. I figured it out in the end. The problem was when I was set up a new player profile (i.e. in Data 1), I must have selected to see the "player number" instead of "player name". Once the profile was created, I could go in and change the "Pass Support" options such as pass assistance, manual shot etc - but there was no ability to change the cursor from "player number" to "player name".

To fix, I simply created a new profile and made sure I selected "Player name" for cursor settings.
 
As some have already noted, better defending makes the CPU play a bit more build-up. If you always try to win back the ball by trying to tackle or go close all the time, the CPU will happily exploit the granted space and opportunities and pass forward.

Instead the best way to defend is not to tackle or getting too close but to keep your positions and at the same time to cover obvious pass-routes. The CPU will then play more slowly and make more mistakes.

Another advice is to reduce compactness to 10 which makes defending more relaxed as they are more compact, and it's good to have 4 defenders back there, except when you are playing against a weak team, then 3 will suffice.

Sliding is the most powerful tool to stop a dribbler, but I advice to use it carefully and well timed, for example when the ball has jumped off the CPU's leg or on the wings. Otherwise it can easily lead to harsh fouls or miss the target completely.

All that considerably helps as long as the cheating doesn't kick in. If it does then clipping-issues allows the CPU to simply walk/run through your defender as if he were a ghost or shoot the ball by literally putting their foot through the back of your defender... and the goalkeeper starts to parry a lot into the feet of the CPU-strikers.

It's really frustrating that the CPU's AI is not clever enough to put up a challenge without resorting to blatant cheating.

Still, until the cheating kicks in, the game is the most enjoyable and most realistic football game (playing on PC using Matt's global-edit) to date.
 
Konami must renamed "Become the Legend" to " Troll mode " . Yeah all in BaL are just trolling you , from your teamates to yours agent,Konami is trolling you with this mode, maybe they want to see how hardcore we are ? .

,but i never play the game from the league . Always substitution and must watch hole f*ck game with x2 speed , or i'm out of the team for big part of the matches.

My player now is.. BEAST ... i have to play only one training match on every two months, with the club and .. my player is unstoppable now, i buy boots and other stuff to training Power and speed and now.. no body can stop me, me shot is so powerfull that i can score goals almost from the midfield , but its not enough for my manager ...
Well.. some body will say " change the team " ...i made it, but its same story .I have 3 saves with different teams but is all the same ... team mates all play the same way , make same errors , same mistakes .... manager don't take me in to the game and this is some vicious circle totally freak me out and give up me from this game. Just is unbelievable how bad is this mode !!!

I pulled one off using Sneijder, burst into the box, the CPU ploughed into me with no penalty!

It's a great move though, and very specific to players with explosive power which is good.
 
So there will be an update released on 11 October according to OPE. By the sounds of it there may be another one released shortly afterwards.

Reading the press release it also mentions that new stadia will form part of the updates. No further details are given. Anyone know what stadiums will be included? We have all the Spanish ones as part of the Day 1 update and as far as i can see all the stadiums mentioned pre-release are in the game already.
 
Maybe they are adding a stadium in the shape of a giant boot which can only be used in Master League.
All player stats increase +20 upon strolling on to the turf...
 
Ah that reliable newspaper. Your mate should read something worth reading.

i have a feeling you don't agree :))

My idea about the game is it's a 9/10 game in gameplay but it's a 6 or less in every other department. Online, modes, options, they are all so mediocre
then you play the game and it becomes excellent. The best gameplay since many years. Few adjustments here and there and it could be perfect
 
Two issues that really annoy me:

1.) freekick-bug still exists - this is ridiculous. 16 - 20 meters away from goal, let time pass by and the cpu scores for you... :(

2.) since first nex-gen version the GK gloves look like the keepers prepared to do work in the garden - this is one most annoying ugly grhapic issue i have realised...
 
Oh dear, two games in a row and my keeper has gone slightly insane. First match, Carroll did a downward header that bounced really high, and my keeper bizarrely ran under the ball and let it bounce into an empty bet, then in the next match I had an awesome game as Spurs v Everton. I won 2-1 thanks to a Defoe double, the winner being a long range R2 curler that dipped over the keeper, but just prior to that I conceded an equaliser where my clearance smacked a defender square in the face, then the game decided Friedel would oddly not pick the ball up, and he turned and let it into his own net.

I'm loving the game and keepers have been solid, but I'm starting to see more and more strange keeper 'freak outs'. Not just for me mind, I scored the other day where their keeper bizarrely dropped a cross he had comfortably caught, dived to grab the loose ball, and headed it into his own net :((
 
Please can anyone talk to yair?
Someone please beg yair to stop modifying the graphics in his patches. The game is unplayable and ugly too much contrast and darkness.

Completely agree. On the field PES is a 9 out of 10. PES is finally back and has that "just one more game" quality of PS2 PES. Off the field leaves a lot to be desired though. I hope Konami takes the time to really improve and flesh out the single player experience in PES 2014.

yeah i would have to agree, i still love the ML concept, they just need to expand upon it.. more divisions, more training options, etc

Umm... I don't know yair, but you do realize that you have the right not to use his patch? I don't understand your point here.
