So important this. Against the AI and online I find that not every player is going to do the necessary because my tactics require it.
on the back of this and i think its related i have been using directional arrows as i really need to relearn this game. It has helped me immensely as i thought your players only made forward runs but you can make them run into space. This also works to create dummy runs to create space. I wished i had filmed it but i scored a goal. Right midfielder had is out wide 35 yards from goal. I pointed for my first striker to run near post and that dragged a defender with him, i then ignored the run and whipped it in to the second striker who had lost his man in the area and had space due to the runner. Headed goal. I only realised what had happened after watching the replay so i now to try and use that method to create space
I find manual teammate runs a double edged sword. On one hand they give you so much more control to orchestrate an attack. On the other they introduce a good deal of additional hassle into the game, and also reduce the possibility of enjoying brilliant independent (AI) runs.
I can't remember being an option for the cards being turned off but then again I never used to spent that much time with PS3 era pes games to notice,as for the fullbacks, most of them have the attacking card, but if u shop around you can get the defensive card FBs that stay back, Iv got one player that plays both sides and use him only for tight games and yes it does work they actually stay back, as for the swap over situation, are they new players you've bought or have u changed tactics, cos Iv noticed they tend to go in when you set it to flexible and there not familiar with your tactical setup.
I didn't even know you could set full-backs to centre-backs. Won't that crap on the team spirit though (which is vital in the ML) as they'll be classed as "playing out of position"?Doesnt Matts 5 minute fix with fluid formation make full backs stay back..in defensive tactic set full backs as center back position..forgive me it thats not what you mean
That works providing the FBS can also play as centre backs, cos if they can't they tend to run all over the place at times and yeah could effect your team spirit.
Same here, hence why I never really played things like Master League Online and why I wish I had now (even though it had its issues)...
That was my fear! I'll have to start using "fluid formation" as @hitmanuk suggested, that'll probably help.
I don't see much cheating playing manual on regular or professional settings. I am wondering what settings you're on; Fully assisted, superstar?
Now that explains a number of things. Like when you start a new ML, you need to play quite a few matches before your team wins an offensive aerial challenge (on superstar). I guess the variation in observed CPU strength (it does vary) is due to condition arrows and home team advantage.
Can't agree on that, I'm on PS4, playing on top player, my games have varied from very easy to extreme hard, it's never consistent which I like. Maybe pc master league could be structured differently unless your referring to superstar
!! To me, this hasn't happened for a long time!!
This is not a physics bug, it merely shows how the game works internally. This kind of stuff happens all the time in less obvious ways, the game places the ball where it needs it to be for the next animation. One could say that there actually aren't any physics involved at all, there is only an illusion of physics created by consecutive animations.
