Another great post mj, couldn't agree more.
PES is, and always has been a game of tactics, formations and player selection. It's more of a managerial experience. You pick the right players in an effective formation and let the individuality of the players blend together. In Fifa I never feel the need to go too deep with the tactics as it doesn't make a difference in my experience.
And fully manual controls just wouldn't work. It would detract from the fundamentals of PES. I want my player's ability to dictate the success of my team, not my dexterity with the controller. The assisted nature of the game is what makes it, not breaks it. I think some of the Fifa converts forget that PES has always been about this and it's no different from the game they used to play and love in this respect.
Exactly how I feel. Fully manual control and the influence of player stats are a contradiction, in my opinion. You either have one or the other.
If I were to change the passing system in PES at all I'd have it replicate the semi-passing in FIFA; in terms of an accurate portrayal of the direction in which you are aiming and the general success rate of passes going to the man you aimed at or astray on quick passes etc. This would be a simulation of how passing feels in real life, after all it's only the odd pass that does go astray at the higher levels. Then, I would have 360 manual passing on the stick to complement this system, so for that final ball the direction of the pass will be truly manual and exactly where you meant to place it if you choose to use it.
If PES had a fully manual system it would hamper the way the game is meant to be played IMO. If you are concentrating too much on general passing it distracts your attention away from the field somewhat and doesn't allow you to work your carefully crafted tactics and formations on the field. PES has always been about that 'team' element for me, working formations and finding gaps with clever build-up play, that was why I sometimes got a little bored of fully manual on FIFA as I was all the time concentrating on getting each and every pass perfect rather than enjoying breaking down the other team.

First of all if it is truly manual, might as well get rid of stats for passing, as your fully in control, in that sense every player on the game will be some crapper who can't make one pass, or some sort of play making genius, goal keepers included, you wouldn't be able to differentiate between the good passers in real football and the not so good ones!
Then there's the complaint that manual takes into account of the players stats... well then if thats the case its not even manual is it, as your restricted, like you got a crap passer, you aim perfectly and power it perfectly, but cause his stats are lower theres a margain of error in the code to make the ball go not as far and not in the correct direction, how bad depending on stat... which then makes you think you did it wrong anyway, not the players stats are crap.
I just think it's overhyped for a game, stats there for a reason, to recreate that said players ability... you expect to see results that you would expect to see that player in real life.
