I already use Adblock... I think it is not an ad, it is a real virus-warning.

Han, I am fairly certain its a scam popup.What I do is simply close any popup tabs except the download link, if adblock+ does not capture it.
Sadly these issues are becoming very widespread.
Run a quick virus check after downloading & usually You have no infection.
Or run free Malwarebytes adw cleaner after.

Those sort of adfly infested links really annoy me.

Arabic commentary is the best for me ( last year I used Argentina one ).
Anti-aliasing seems to not be working, aliasing everywhere.

If you have a Nvidia gpu go in nvidia control panel and overrates application aliasing with the nvidia one and set it at 2x 4x or 8x you can set supersampling too.

question: why no new stadium by editor this years???why no bernabeo no old traford and... can we have this stadium like last years?>

I think yes but pes 18 has a different file structure. I think our genius modders are at work but we must have pacience. It's only 14 days that pes is on sale.

Sorry to come again with the following, but it can be important for your PC: I placed a post in the Option File topic but nobody responsed to it.




What do you guys think about this? Didn't you get this alert?

Han I'm Dutch as well, this is not an official windows alert, look more closely at the wording lol. 28,1 % damage haha. This is malware spyware pop up In itself. Like superleeds said. If u get the same Popup everytime, u might have stuff on your computer itself already causing it. Good luck cleaning!

I don't think I have more virusses or spyware. I have Kaspersky Internet security as my default scanner and I also have Malwarebyte antimalware and Hitman Pro. None of them detected virusses.

Ahh where to start.. lots to tell but ill try to keep it structured and constructive.
To begin with, ive been playing pes, like a lot of u here, from back in the day iss.. then on to Pes
Had them on console before switching over to PC from Pes 14.

That being said, i know the struggle on PC.
Playing an equal or even better looking version to consoles now, wow, finally!
It has never looked this good and its about goddamn time.
Ive been lurking around on these forums every year for patches, mod files tactics and general consensus about the games good and bad points.
PC is for me way to go because of the modders improvements (DrdoomUK, Fruits etc, great stuff).
Like all new releases, ive been playing this almost every day for a lot of hours.
I play mostly with my homeclub, PSV , which means u getting spanked a lot when playing higher diff or online :).
But thats fine i like the underdog challenge its tradition for me to get the most out of it.

Ive read most comments on this and xb1 ps4 forums, seen trolls, regulars and vets going all over the place with opinions, which is fine on a forum, so ill stick to my own experiences.
Im going to keep it focussed on the offline part, as i have to start online stuff yet. I usually play SS before 18, now its a mix of SS & TP (more about that below).

After 2 weeks of intense playing and fiddling (120 + hours), the good stuff:

- Graphically and animation wise leaps ahead of pes 17
- Satisfying and intuitive Passing experience (helped by lots of extra kicking and curling animations)
- Offensive A.I. improved a lot
- Highly addictive ( in top 3 of all Pes, ISS), when it clicks it clicks in a major way like i have not
experienced in a long time (im 36 btw).
- Keepers! . It has been said a lot , some still disagree, but in general a huge leap (Pun intended!) :)
- Dribbling & Physique representation is more fluid and better then ever before.

I have all these above points in very high regard for rating my general Pes experience and these for the most part outshine most of the flaws in PES 18, its great, but to be brilliant
they should STRONGLY need to re-address the following issues.

- Difficulty balancing:
Superstar is broken. Especially on Full Manual, which ive tried extensively after day 2 the game came out. Full Manual SS is nothing short of Sado Masochism imo.
As PSV, Ive been playing countless Barca , Borrusia Dortmund and Ajax Rival matches.
Ive been checking Matt10 videos and setup tactics, def line / wing back / etc/ , manual marking, close marking adv. , changed to 532, 433 442 451, ive played exhibition and started league seasons multiple times to quit them after a few games of being murdered by every team.
Brooklow PEU team(!) champions league qualifyer was the worst game ever.

Im not the best player but i know how to hold my ground, use r2 and the occasional trick, its just not done. Ai has kryptonite in almost every league and especially when their attack lvl is Red, which is almost always the case.
Full Manual Top player is almost the same with 0,2 second longer decision making by AI each move. Konami, why do u script the AI to be even harder for Full manual ? Hope theyll fix it some day. I really started to like Full manual but since a few hours i went back to PA1 because i lost enjoyment out of PES 18;
Lol though, as soon as i dropped to PA1 and TP, i spanked Barca 5-1 and on SS 2-0;).
* On TP/SS i find it almost easy now, which is bad but at least the fun is back. *

- Defensive A.I.
Its not Terribad but especially the wingbacks/Fullbacks need better default marking of wingers.
With adv. instructions in concert with marking the supply lines and star Ai players, in PA1 its at least manageble to have decent defense.
Ive also noticed not a lot difference in low or high def. line settings. Still experimenting on it.
Also scrimmages and high balls into the box are problematic in some instances.
Keepers will run out with Y button but either stop their movement or start the wrong animation which profits the attackers.Defenders need better defensive awareness and need to react more and sooner to balls being passed really close to them. At least its getting fixed a bit with DP1.

- Cursor switch
Very chaotic and frustrating at times, especially with the defenders sometimes unaware of nearby ball movement. Selecting defender just behind the attacker to tug shirt and disposess has cost me alot of games. At least its getting fixed also.

- Pass assistance? Lol
Delete PA 2 & 3 if PA 1 is a Laser pass option already or, tone down PA1 so that it matches the Konami in game description of a "little"assistance ^^
And get rid of Kryptonite Superman Ai on the Full Manual, we are mere mortals :).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Master League , i didnt try it yet. Ive read about the broken transfers and lack of innovation, which really saddens me. I will give it a try perhaps if they fix the (Full Manual SS TP) difficulty, else im not interested in being assraped by FC Noname OVR rating 40. Maybe on PA1 SS/TP its manageble, ill have to check it out.

Tl;DR

I really really, like this game. As every year its a love hate thing. As always thats the blessing and curse of the underdog. Online can be maddening but also so dope with the right people and settings. But thats the charm of Pes. U have to make the best out of it yourself for the most part of u really down with this series. It has never gifted anything for free on a golden platter.
It will be the reason that i have not bought a Fifa game in 5 years and that it is, next to the occasional racing game, my only game in regular rotation for the last 17+ years.

And with the help of the modders and a bright light at some Konami devs, im sure this, against all odds, will still be the best choice for the true football game addict.

Bless and thanks for reading , Modizzle

PS: if u want to play Full manual or co op, add me on steam : DaMoDaFire, Eindhoven

Then u should be good. The Popup u showed Ive seen it in similar forms on all kinds of downloads, as long as u don't click install on anything and ignore them u should be fine

for coach mode simulation
legend in exhibition but in competition like cup or league (also ML) the best choice is superstar, on legend level the AI cheat too much

same match at the same level (legend, 13 min ) in a konami cup final using one time one team and the other time the other one,
scripting of AI at Superstar is horrible





here another ridicolous result of Legend



On superstar i had the most realistic stats

 
Thanks for the reactions about the Mediafire subject. I simply will not use links about Mediafire again.
It would be nice if the patch- and option file makers also seek other upload-sites. Thanks in advance!

i prefer mega, but a lo of people have issues with limits for big files.
Google Drive is another shit cuz remove files without reason
 
this game needs urgently an official rosters and kit patch and an unofficial pitch textures one...the grass is the same in all stadiums

Why would you want PA 2 and 3 to be removed? If you hate it, don't use it.

There are many people that uses PA2. I use PA2. Just because you don't use it, doesn't mean it should be removed !

Didnt want to offend anyone, its just my opinion.

This years PA1 is so heavily assisted already and almost feels like PA2/PA3 from 2017.
So in the current form i find it useless to have PA2+.
Im more of an advocate for arcade vs simulation passing options and build the game structures and online components around it.
Its more clear, to the point and makes more sense, but yeah who am I :).

Just my 2 cents

PS: Im back to Full Manual again, i missed the challenge, i cant go back anymore i guess haha, argh ;)

I know its your opinion. But there's no point in removing it you know? It will not be of any profit to you. Rather it will be a loss to many other users.

Good thing is, PA2 and 3 aren't possible on Online modes. So you are safe from that. Whereas I can enjoy PA2 in SP mode.

PA2 and 3 are very important if someone plays with keyboard, and I play with keyboard. Didn't meant to offend you either, just saying that there's no need to remove it.

It works fine on PES 2017 but not for PES 2018. I tried but nothing happened. TXAA, FXAA in game & force 8x in NCP are fking the same.
I'm using 1070 and 1440p, 144Hz monitor, these aliasing hurt my eyes, unacceptable. Does it work for you?
 
I'll try again.

Does anyone know which gpu's are capable of playing the game at max settings 1080p at a locked 60 in game?

Don't mind if it's AMD or Nvidia and not worried about solid 60 in replays. Thanks.
 
Has anyone noticed any performance hit while using the latest AMD drivers (17.9.2)?
It would play just fine @ 720p with my R9 270X and the 17.1 drivers, then after the update to 17.9.2 it's become almost unplayable. Stuttering like there's no tomorrow, at any resolution.
I reverted back to 17.7 (I couldn't find the 17.1 installer anymore) and boom, problem solved.

Yes same here, I uninstalled drivers and went back to last WHQL 17.7.2 from Guru3D. I have the MSI R9 270X Hawk card,and play 1920x1080 with everything maxed,motion blur off.
Also have some Radeon Settings applied.
 
Game needs a serious GPU for 120+ fps, even on 1080p only, at least 980ti or 1070 so not to be choppy especially at replays. On high needless to say.
For 1080p 60fps, I'd say 970 is good enough(possibly 960 too).
 
bug in versus mode (offline with friends), more than 2 users create this issue
in exhibition i can choose from 3 profile , but in versus mode one (or more) of them disappears
