Re: PES2010 News & Rumours thread (PC + 360 demos out now!)
The defender hardly makes an effort to get the ball, and carries on running in the same direction well after the trick/direction change Ramos makes... Lassana Diarra (I think he's Frances no.6) has better reactions than that...
It's good that there are more tricks now, but whenever you pull them off it just looks silly because most of the time the defenders just run off in the opposite direction or stand completely still and watch you...
Sorry Rob but I totally disagree mate. Watch the first video again bud please and cross reference every single thing I've wrote here. Diarra starts to run towards Ramos. Ramos slows his pace with the close control to set himself up for a change of pace to beat Diarra. As Ramos slows the pace, watch Diarra wary of the situation as the ball is in close control by Ramos, slows up his run and doesnt dive in, and gives Ramos a couple of yards, wary of the fact he knows what Ramos is looking to do. Its baiting 101 in football.
This is when Diarra falls for the dummy. As soon as Ramos fakes to go right, watch Diarra instantly makes a run to close Ramos down. The key to this was Ramos's timing of the trick, the change in pace, but more than anything, the fake, stepover that completely fooled the onrushing Diarra. Diarra kept his speed as the fake stepover tricked him into thinking Ramos was going right and closer to the byline, which in real life is an easy tackle, as Ramos has no where to go.
But Ramos, after the fake turns, changed direction very sharply, at pace, and came inside, selling Diarra the perfect dummy, and pulled off easier because of the speed Diarra was approaching. Diarra cant believe he has been 'done' that easily and makes a lame attempt to try and make a tackle, but the moments passed. He got done good and proper.
The theory of the move is spot on, and it was pulled off so well that is why Diarra isnt close.
Thats how I see it Rob, for me the theory, movement, positioning, execution, and end result was spot on technically for me. Its deep, but you cant deny after what I have wrote and watching the 1st clip, that any of what I said isnt correct to whats happening. That is super realistic in every way, very clever, technical stuff in that particular situation. Its those type of moments in PES that make me really 'feel' football.
