I'm comfortable with manual passing, but manual shooting I found was so wayward and awkward that I'd hit it closer to the corner flag than to goal.
Missing easy tap ins, shooting all over the shop...need more practice I suppose.
I will try the manual shot on pes14 though.
But you can't tell me that assisted shooting is anywhere near as advantageous as assisted passing is, not by a country mile. In fact, it's really a non factor I've found, you'll score about the same on both settings and demonstrably so.
Agreed.
I have actually given Manual Shooting a good couple of hours on the leaked demo, and I'm still not a fan. I set it up as a two-player game, then basically just kept passing the ball from the keeper from the player 2 pad
to my striker.
Sure, you can get alot of ummph on the shots, but I don't feel you have the type of control on direction as I'd hoped. I also still can't fully buy into it's philosophy. Zero Passing, sure, that changes the game mechanics completely and makes you adhere to all the basic fundamentals of football. I don't believe Manual Shooting does that. Not at all.
Although I agree, that at times, and with the best players, PES 2013's default shooting was probably a tad too easy. Still, I prefer that over hitting the corner flag or worse still, having a shot fly out for a throw
I didn't find a lot of variation in direction on the Manual Shooting when the ball actually hit the target, which felt strange. As that is exactly what it should give you. I scored some screamers, but they all felt like 100mph rockets with little or no change with the flight of the ball.
I appreciate it's something I'd have to master, but I don't want to. Shooting isn't like that in my opinion. Sure IRL you can hit the odd Row Z shot, but the majority of the time, it's the opposite.
Like my old coach would say 'The goals don't move, get your head down and put your foot through it son'. And he's right, that's what it's all about. Even on default shooting, you still need angles, posture, correct foot and timing correct, the only easier option was the R2 Controlled Shot.
Contrary to what people are saying, I'm enjoying Advanced Shooting, I find it a nice new option, and it's the one I'll be sticking with for sure. I do like the option to drill a low shot with R1 (I believe that's the default button for it ?!) and I feel I have more control over all, without it feeling heavily stat assisted.
I'm all for stats when it comes to shooting though, but for some reason, this Advanced Shooting option feels right for me. I'll never buy into Full Manual, it's just not what I believe in, or enjoy.
Asim? To me, he's gone. His opinion is down the ladder after all the crap on his twitter. Some was way OTT, but according to him it's all okay in the name of banter.
Also i don't like the fact he still think he represent the fans.
Does anyone take this Asim character seriously ? He talks utter nonsense...
Forget Asim, he should be called Asif..... !!
