I guess this happens often when the opponent plays with france? They are playing with 4-5-1 formation and just stupidly holding R1+X and sometimes additionally [] in the midfield. The pressing is way to effective as long you are not pressing to often with the defenders on counters. The player with the ball struggles IMO to often in these situations when body contact is applied from the opponent (even when you control Giroud) or the defender just bumps into you player from behind and you are not able to execute the shot/pass or you just lose the ball. I wish you would have more control when using body to shield the ball.
Don't get me wrong: I do win against these R1+X pressure guys but this stupid method should be lead to way more goals on my side (similar to PES6).
I agree to a certain extend but it might be just one of those changes you have to adjust to. I find that using R2 helps when evading an incoming [ ] on full speed or i just go for the save option and pass it back and go for a long ball while his team is out of position.
Before, in 2017, you wouldn't feel so much under pressure in defense or midfield and thus your reaction to these situations would different. That is what i mean by adjusting and relearning the game. Midfield battles might be more frustrating and difficult but perhaps all the better for it because you need more skill to prevent mistakes.
I'll put it like this I'ved played matches where every loose ball would fall to the opponent and every pass that they make is perfect where mine would miss my player 2 yards away and every shot of mine would go miles wide. . a couple of games later it would be the opposite . . .I'd get every loose ball and all of my passes are spot on .. ..a few games later it would switch back. .. that's my experience .. . I don't suddenly improve and then play shite again a few games later.
Cant say i experienced this. I do however find it more difficult to turn things around when you opponent is having some momentum. What i also noticed, and COOP mode has learned me this, is that when you avoid risk taking in the back and clear the ball with [ ] it has a better change of finding your forwards instead of always ending up in an opponents feet. Especially online with manual passing, picking out a free midfielder and performing a longer pass takes time, time you do not always have.
In this respect, removing the catch up script is a game-changer. Not only is it apparent in 1v1 situations where forwards can now out-sprint defenders. It is everywhere. Players at top speed can catch you by surprise and run the ball of your feet, more so because the ball is really a separate entity now.
What you describe might just be people getting adjusted. Speaking for myself, i can play shit the first ten minutes and have some amazing linkup play the moment after. Not because of a script but because i am still (re)learning.
Every game is so clearly different, with different levels, settings (manual, advanced) and playing styles. It can definitely be frustrating. Sometimes you just want a rematch when you find someone of your own level/playing style.
But then again, all those different playing styles and outcomes remind me of the good ol days where the field was really a blank canvas with all possibilities still open.
I never played PES online until now. And it shows......I have to figure out these pricks play styles.
despite the fact I made more passes than anyone else on the team.... retard. ED-SUTTON92 you're shit maaaaate
