PES 2017 PlayStation & Xbox Discussion Thread

Master League is absurd. Been playing with a friend and the CPU scored 3/5 free kicks in the past two matches. You don't even want to know the scoreline in our Juventus match. I don't think I've ever been beaten so badly in my entire life. Bumped the difficulty down to Professional which I haven't done since I first started playing PES. Their conversion rate is so high. :BORED:

I'm also playing on professional, I haven't tried playing with a top team, tried my ML in the Serie B with Bari, but for now professional is the right difficulty level for me. I thought it would be easy when I won the first two matches of my ML, but the following 3 ended in defeat so it's not easy at all for me. Tried Top Player and got dominated. I also like how even the match stats is on professional.

Why are my games played with half empty atadiums ?

Are you playing with a second division team? most of their stadiums are usually half empty.
 
I may have a fix, for the edited CPU team's home stadium settings. But before I post anything here and get people excited, i must test out my theory.
It came to me this morning at work. Twice now the edited CPU stadium settings worked fine for me, one a week before and once last night. Couldn't understand why, but something just came to me. Can only test tonight.
 
Sry for the complaint, I really don't get why is so hard to put a day/night selector in the master league games.

After 8 night games in a rown i decided to quit the whole thing out of sheer frustration.

Great game, best pes ever probably all together, but i only enjoy friendly games in some stadia.

If anone can conctact Konami asking for a selector, it would greatly please everyone i guess.

Definitely Professional plays the best. And it's also challenging enough for me.

To be honst in ML i don't see any difference between top player and Professional. IMO in ML the difference is made by team spirit and not so much by the difficulty setting.

I played a Euro League with Southampton on top player and won it, perhaps a litle bit too easy.
Then i started a ML with the same team on the same difficulty and i'm really struggling.

Iam playing a second ML with Belgrano (Arg) and they have very low team spirit (54) and i can't seem to win, had one win, one loss and six draws, no matter how good i play.
 
Team spirit definitely plays a huge factor in ML as once it gets higher you can feel your team actually playing better if that makes sense. It adds another element to ML for sure and certainly makes me think about tinkering around with tactics too much as it can knock the team spirit down by quite a bit if you make too many changes at once.

This might only be me that thinks this, but I thought I would ask.
Does anyone else think that the foul detection has been toned down a bit since the demo? I am still getting way more fouls than in 2016 for sure, but more and more over the the last couple of days, the COM has hit me with a few things that had me thinking - that would definitely have been a foul in the demo.
Maybe it is a ML v exhibition thing, possibly even a difficulty level thing or maybe they did tinker with the foul detection, I'm not sure.

Although the fouls are much improved over 2016, there is still some work to do for 2018 if it can't be patched this year. Some shocking tackles from the COM go unpunished whereas on occasion the slightest nudge from me results in a yellow. That being said, the fouls in general are a huge improvement over 2016.
 
I am loving the foul detection for aerial battles. yesterday (in league mode) I couldn't buy a win and in my 4h or 5th game I held it to 0-0 until the 88th minute where I had an attack which resulted in a diagonal long pass into the area. My centre forward was watching it all the way, and powered a header into the net and i jumped up in pure joy. only to see that a foul was given, my striker was so determined to get to that ball for the header that he ploughed through the defender who was going to head it away as he was jumping. definite foul, absolutely gutting
 
regarding player battle to win a header: someone please tell me what to do!! sure i can move my player around a little and try to move him out of position but how to actually go into a header battle?! any tipps or hints would be very appreciated! i want to get more out of it!

I actually tried manual passing/crossing again now, and it's not as difficult as I thought. Crossing definitely becomes more "organic" anyway, so will definitely keep it! Thanks a lot for the tip. :)

problem for me is that manual crossing is too powerful
 
i wish they would sort out the advantage rule, during advantage if any of your players touch the ball thats it advantage over..even if i run away from the ball as the refs playing advantage the AI auto moves and once connects thats it advantage gone. This morning i even dived as the ref waved advantage only to be booked and the foul given against me..great game but just needs things like this tightening up..FIFA has this nailed down..i know if advantage is being played and i let go of the controller i will get the free kick.

in terms of "the shot is to fast" or "it is overpowered and i score a lot"?!
i like the manual crosses. depends a lot on the player, position und movement! i dont have that much "unrealistic fast crosses" in my games as i try to cross with players that are supposed to cross the ball!
dont try to sprint and cross or cross with players facing the ranks! from time to time i whip one in using R2... lovely stuff when done right!

Master League - Superstar Difficulty game is absolutely mentally frustrating. Feels sluggish, cumbersome and clunky. AI players swarm all around my player on the ball and I have no confidence when on the ball at all. Play passes to players who take a touch and BAMN! ball taken off them by a CPU player instantly! Players take an age to turn and change direction. Its too frustrating, too sluggish. Colour me disappointed and sad.

I started a master league on Top Player with Lyon and found that. In exhibition mode Lacazette was superb for Lyon and with Porto, aboubakar was excellent, so I bought him as my first player. In the master league every time Lacazette gets a ball up to him, buy the time he controls it a defender has took it off him and Aboubakar has been turned into Shola Ameobi

Which league are you playing? They have now put in game times that are the same of the league you select. This was in reply to me and a few others constantly badgering them to be able to select day/night games in the master league last year.

The solution they have added might be realistic, but it has completely turned me off playing any league with night time kick offs.

Send them a tweet. I still think a feature to allow you to select the day/time of games would be very warmly welcomed by their customers

Agreed. It's better this year but still broken. Another example is, if you foul two CPU players heavily within a short amount of time, and the ref plays advantage for the first foul, which is worthy of a yellow, but then stops play on the second, he'll book the second offender but won't go back and card the player of the first heavy foul.
 
I have realised turning fluid formation/tactics on and off is a game changer.

I had some amazing matches at the start of my ML and then i changed the tactics to view the affect.

the game plays stiff, robotic and on rails with certain tactics.

turning fluid back on and changed a few other things and the gameplay is amazing now

Anyone played at the Estadio beira rio during the day? The grass looks gorgeous! Why can't every stadium be like this? Just Konami things lol

Most of the south american pitches do, which makes it even more infuriating that you cannot select them in the master league or assign them to European teams or that their turf isn't availbe in the turf pattern selecter in edit mode. Also make you think they could fix the turfs

People have been asking about this since last year, but Adam said that they fixed it this year and that now PES has a realistic match time.. yeah right

I'm intrigued, which games/teams did it work for? I'm off work today so if you want me to test your theory post it in here and let me know
