Good thing you have your opinion in,wouldn't agree on it though.
And support runs?
Yeah,that's pretty much how your team mates should play?
Should they stand there watching?
But yeah manual is like 2015 lev l...

Ok thats a bs from me Arsrnal is hectic as f on pro too.
They should not stand there and watch. But some players should have higher awareness and reaction times than others. I hope this is somehow reflected in the stats, so that the more intelligent/aware players can find those slightly astray passes better.
I used to read the PEEL forum sometimes, I signed up but at the time I had the American version of the game, wasn't possible to play you guys. I remember that place and this forum had a big influence on me.
Jeez .. .I thought you played manual a lot and you just thought it was not for you. . .. and there you were this morning picking up your ball and going home. The good thing about it is lofting the ball into space instead of at a player. . . makes it more tricky for the A.i.
Speaking of manual I had a few epic battles as Athletico v Barca tonight ... . drew three and lost one and the ref played a blinder in those games. Nearly pulled off a great move . .nice bit of movement and passing with a flick pass thrown in and Torres picked it up a few yards outside the box and managed to nutmeg the defender and run on to it and took a great shot and the keeper pulled off a great save. . .he would go and ruin it, it's hard work sometimes is manual but it's rewarding.

Agree on that,from both sides,both defenders reading play better,getting offside traps or getting in the passing lane.
Or off players making better/more different runs.
I usually play manual on SS,latest game I played on Profesional,vs a team lower than me,no pressure,still I had 66% passing.
Tons of passes going over the line or complety wrong

Coming from you, GPL - it's much appreciated.
Here is what I posted on another forum, hope it's okay if I paste it, as it illustrates my thoughts regarding Professional being the current way to play - and what Top Player/Superstar needs to pay attention to.
I think Professional difficulty is the way to go.
This is my "WIP" theory on the difficulty levels. Adherence to the tactics is relative to the difficulty played in. I post the following not to recruit those to play on Professional, but rather to illustrate the comparison of Pro difficulty to Top Player/Superstar, and how those difficulties could be improved with the simple dialing down of sensitivity to att/def levels & tactical adherence.
Top Player and Superstar - CPU adheres to the tactics, regardless of who they play, or what the game scenario suggests. So even if they are losing 2-0, it won't be until the 65+ minute that the att/def level will change, or the tactics/fluid formations. While there will be adaptive AI involved, their "mentality" will not shift until absolutely necessary. This is why you see the retreating AI regardless of game situation. As long as that level is at 2 defense, that's it - they will stick to that mentality. This is why the effects on the animation of those levels is so prevalent - and almost manic.
Take Barcelona and Germany's high pressure defense, it's not the right kind of pressure. They swarm the ball 3:1, but they don't cut off angles, instead they chase the player like a Benny Hill episode. It becomes a game of tag as a result, and makes ridiculously easy to pass around, or dribble around. Now, when they win the ball, it's an instant charge to go forward. Because the sensitivity, or effectiveness, of their tactics is so incredibly strong - that is all that is on their mind.
Professional - CPU adheres to the game scenario, and the adaptive AI becomes more in-sync as a result. The sensitivty/effectiveness of the tactics is not as strong, so you do not see a charge or retreat mentality. You do see some directness, but you will also see more build up (at least compared to Superstar and Top Player). You will also see more mistakes, why? Well, yes it's Professional, but it's also because players are not completely in-sync with the tactics or even eachother. There is no mind reading, and as a result, they play more human - and less robotic. This is why the best animations in the game have been seen on the lower difficulties, in particular Professional. This is why the best defensive shape has been seen from both the User and CPU. The only negative I have with Professional is that there will be times you can dribble past the CM/CDM, but even then there is the surprise they will make an attempt and foul you or dispossess you. The nice thing about the lower sensitivity to the tactics is that the defenders release from their positions/marking much quicker - because they are not glued to the tactics, they are in-sync with what is happening to the ball.
The only thing missing, and it's critical, is the transition level. The transition, from Attack to Defense, or from possession to losing possession, is why the midfield is bypassed, and the result is a very end-to-end match - in every match. The best shape I have seen from a defense, is Germany on Professional. They use the level 4 def and the way they stepped up into the zone was sublime. See this match from the livestream at 3:22:10. They do not swarm 3:1 like crazy, instead they step up one-by-one, relevant to where the ball is. This is exactly how, as a coach myself, would teach my players to play a zone. It's a beautiful thing to see.
(if watching in full, first couple matches playing on Regular, just to have a base to compare)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRRzdWoNnTU
Overall, if the att/def levels & tactics could be lowered in their sensitivty on Top Player and Superstar, I believe we will see the true beauty of this game. It would be the perfect balance of common football sense and adherence to tactics/game scenario. The importance of a transition level is high though, but if there is a chance that is not within the possibilities to implement, then an alternate adjustment would be to dial down the sensitivity of the Attack/Defense levels - and their relevance to tactics implemented. Granted, other variables in the full version will come into play (not to mention all those greyed-out tactical instructions), but this is an area that should be considered important so those who love to play on the top difficulties, truly feel like they're being challenged properly - and not having to play charity against the CPU.

Well not that they should but this is how it was in the past also this how it is on Fifa. Im saying i understand why do u guys like it now. Its not Fifa manual at all.

Retired Footballer
Yeah can deffo agree on the difference between PES/FIFA
Think I misread yeah,tired I guess.
But,yeah I enjoy manual more in this since I guess PES 13 or something
One thing,since I play manual on the other game aswell,that's trickier when it comes to direction,but I feel PES has a better power system,of course it could be me setting power bar different.
Or just preference.
I found playing on Profesional on the demo very satisfying

i did play manual on 2015 but just stopped altogether on 2016 and didnt think to try 0 assist on the demo because i assumed it hadn't changed.
infact I am not going to call it manual anymore. its 0 assist!
gabe.paul.logan
Retired Footballer
Well i stick with manual passing if they wont fix the assisted levels.
However im not sure about shooting since i dont want to send the ball for a touch in a decisive situation just because my finger slips or im too tired after a work day but in the meantime it makes me sick looking at Draxler taking a rocket shot with his left foot with 4 defenders on him like Roberto Carlos with his left without pressure on him in old PES games.
My biggest problem this whole auto att/def lvl ever since Matt pointed out i cant unsee it
Also i cant seem to get it...France and Germany when loose the ball go orange, when get the ball they go blue.

Ok do you think 0 assist is more assisted than 0 assist in Pes 2016? and would that make Pes 2016 -1 0 assist? The worst 0 assist I came across was Pes 2014. . the pass was like a bobbly trickle. .feckin useless.
0 assist . . the passing/shooting formerly known as manual.

I think so yeah but more than that your team mates seemed oblivious to what you were doing. it doesnt help that i had stopped playing leagues and was stuck playing the com or online people who seemingly dissappeared.

I can confirm that playing on Professional makes a difference. Most teams have this FIFA-like buildup and little pass errors on Top Player, which doesn't happen in Professional, Atlético plays with their whole team around the box for example. I can even see more player individuality there.
EDIT: What I've noticed however is that the AI barely fouls me on that level. I used to get 3-5 fouls per game and now I'm back to zero fouls. I don't really know if that's a sacrifice I'm that willing to make.

This talk banding about that zero assist isn't full manual is nonsense; and hope the developers ignore any feedback that suggests this.
It is full manual and it is simply a case of the AI having been improved along with response and control of player movement in regards unassisted passing. In fact, the more I play it, the more I think they have nailed the manual passing model. Individuality doesn't suffer (my one primary concern when going manual in any football game) as I have discovered when playing five games as Corinthians and then five games with Barcelona on zero assist passing.

How's it guys?

So now manual passing is assisted? I'm pretty sure in pes 2016 manual passing was not assisted and I like it because you really need to think before making a pass. But, I guess not many people like that, and konami is following fifa with assisted manual passing.
But if that's the case level 1 in PES 2015 was okay for me, you could ping the ball like professional footballers but still make errors although not enough for me.

Okay this make sense, then it's like PES 2013 where manual passing feels assisted because the ball receiver is very responsive and reacts to pass. Well good then because that's how manual passing should be.
This is not new. Go play 16, 15, 14, 13. Tape down L2. See the difference.

These settings are a game changer for me, and should be Konami's default, so everybody can experience it...
You can really feel the battles...
Here's a video of a game with these settings... YouTubes video compression makes it look faster than it really is...

i even feel the game speed is slower with this camera angle.

I don't mind being corrected. You're right. I couldn't be more happier that this is the case as it means, whether by design or accident, they have made zero assist a zero assist regards direction but in doing so have maintained player individuality in passing. It is exactly what I want.
Yeah, the comparisons to PES2013 are just on this front.

shield the ball with your body holding L2......Time your movement they will pick at you and get frustrated fouling you... I draw fouls at will.
konami doesn't get the credit they deserve on there foul system i think it's spot on.. they make mistakes like real life
i'm going to make a video on drawing fouls

Forcing fouls is not really the point, I would want them to come naturally, as a result of the situation. It would just be boring for me to wait until I'm brought down in the box just to get a penalty, that would be outright dirty.
Anyway, I guess fouls are slowly coming back in Professional, I've already had three in a match against Atlético. Still delighted by the AI though.
Yeah that sounds right

Agreed. It's not completely manual though there is a difference between 0 assist and the L2 modifier
Don't think anyone said that Lami.Manual passing isn't pes 2015 level 1 passing guys. Stop spreading this nonsense
I still play pes 2015 bal until 2017 comes out so I know what I'm on about
I think it was rockstrongo, and possibly someone else.
Yeah atm professional seems the way to go, had a couple of epic matches between Flamengo and River last night
Oh, slå för fan Gnaget idag!
/ PekingSorry for writing in swedish, just had to wish his team good luck since they play Swedens most uncharming team today...

I haven't played anything else but professional and I do get fouled by the AI.
In some games more and in some games less.
One was almost annoying
Had games where I got fouled 6, 7 times.
