if you play with PA0 to pass calm and nice ball to closer player just tap pass button twiceI don't have much more to add at the moment. Maybe also consider the fact that L2 is considered more free than standard PA0. It seems to ignore the snap zones and ball path is more true to input.
I don't play FIFA so I can't speak from experience. On PES, I'm accustomed to power up a pass only if I'm sure it is in the direction I want. I think after PES15, they have restricted last minute direct changes to passes? I don't remember how I adapted at the time, but I know after that year, it has influenced me to be more sure of deciding my passes before I play them. So basically, I've learn to accept my fate, if in the time between I image a pass in my head and the situation changes before my pass is sent, but I'm already done powering up...then, so be it. I read the play wrong.
Or, I super cancel my pass, I do that a lot actually.
So when I mean ball paths surprising myself, it's not really about the last minute corrections/adjustments. Those I accept, fully.
To perform pass 1 here is wonky in PES. This is one type of pass that may be easier to do in PA1 or above? But I don't know for sure
In PA0, pass 1 would very likely be intercepted by TM1, even if it's a very powerful pass. This has been true for many, many years of PES (on manual at least). It's very hard to evade the green dot on TM1. You basically to play in the direction between 3 and 4 o'clock, to escape the TM1 pink snap zone, in order for TM2 to understand the pass is for him. This is a bit like what I meant, to purposefully pass outside of the snap zone, to get a different outcome.
Powering up the pass stronger, was not enough to make TM1 ignore the ball, or to get TM2 interested in the ball. TM1 kinda just intercepts the powerful pass on his own.
This was true for previous years. PES19 I have no idea.
Now, an interesting thing that is little talked about...you can actually reach TM2 easier, with L2 held down.
This is because of the nature of L2, it tends to ignore snap zones (like mentioned above earlier).
Still, L2 would get intercepted by TM1 sometimes. Snap zones are hard to escape, that's why I tend to purposefully pass around them sometimes.
Anyway, for years it has felt to me that the snap (or their vision of how it should work) has restricted any organic moments. If I go down that list of PES from 12-19, almost 80% of the games in that time span felt too rigid to have organic moments.
