What setup do you recommend? I have the PE (I think?) patch and can switch between 1.0 and 1.04. I think this game has promise but the floaty ball and through passes kind of ruin it for me. But if they can be fixed, I’d happily give it another go.
Well I originally had been using the vanilla exe. I edited my bin file via Pro editing studio, that's where it all began...
I however made the switch to v 1.04 a few months ago & continued doing the same thing, with the editing tool/edward can/jenkey gameplay tool, you can pretty much change anything you desire. You're even able to go into the config text to make adjustments to the gameplay directly as well.
I downloaded HxD hex editor, searched google and had to learn all about hex-strings/ values etc... & changed the physics of the ball to get rid of the floaty-ball directly as you mentioned above. Heck with that tool you're able to modify the ball to actually behave real, aka having proper surface bounce * ball friction*, deflections, spin etc... I took a really deep dive & was able to add on other gameplay mechanics that improve the standard of play immensely.
Below is just an example of some of the tweaks that can be done via the same gameplay tool ini that you can download with either Jenkey's/Edward Can gameplay tool, which will come with most patches, * I think *.
Though I had to search through the forum's for one that works with v 1.04, & I currently use the EdwardCan v 7.3 gameplay tool that can be used with Pes Edit/PesJp patch v 1.0-1.04 too.
*To implement these gameplay tweaks, you must
manually type them into the text files associated with Jenkey1002’s Gameplay Tool or a custom gameplay plugin—you do
not use a hex editor. [

The custom strings you mentioned (OPTIMIZED_DRIBBLE_ISHIKI_TAMEPASS, OPTIMIZED_SHOOT_DRIVE & VOLLEY, etc.) are variables programmed into AI-override scripts inside custom patches or plugins (such as
Yair's Gameplay Plugins,
Edward Can's updates, or
PESJP Patch). They do not exist as flat text strings inside the vanilla pes2013.exe. [

I recently downloaded the WeBrothers patch that's for the original 2013/14 season just to beautify my game abit & that has been working well. I have kept my blur file in manually, * you don't have to, if you want to disable blur the option is clearly there for you to choose *.
I should have most of the files for the stuff above mentioned, I know it seems like a lot of information but it's easy to navigate through via google searches, if you need assistance, I will help where I can. I can upload some of the files here/via email if that doesn't work.
Right now I'm doing an even deeper dive into trying to get my gameplay to be as realistic as possible, so it's taking a while because of making these adjustments without breaking the gameplay mechanics, etc...
I'm making a HELL of a lot of progress in my estimation however, very good signs. It's just taking forever to finetune into something fluid & better than what's currently out there, within the limits of the engine of course.
