Re: PES2010 News & Rumours thread
You guys that find the game too easy (winning trebles in ML etc). What teams and players do you use? I found ISSPE/PES easier up to PES4, after that, PES5 onwards it became tougher. My last big silverware was the CL in PES4. Since then, i have only really won league cup titles and struggled to keep up with the league leaders, at best (sometimes losing out on the title on the last day or two).
Admittedly i use poor teams and search out unfashionable signings, so i have my work cut out. But i'm pretty sure if i played as a big team (Inter, Barca etc) i'd be winning silverware all the time. But those teams don't appeal to me at all.
I've had various mixes of ML seasons. I always play as Portsmouth, unfortunately the players are completely underrated because we aren't Man Utd so I end up replacing the spine by getting a keeper, defender, attacking mid and a striker. Essentially I replace the spine of the team because the default Pompey side is no better than the default ML players. As Pomp obviously have quite an old squad I end up replacing players earlier than you would normally, but even then I don't go for the world beaters. Michael Dawson was my replacement for Linvoy Primus and he did a job for years.
In another game I did one of those dream team scenarios where you shove all of the best players into your squad, set their development curve as lasting and put their ages at 15. Although these hand of God scenarios don't usually interest me in the long run, I found it great fun in WE10. You could fanny about and really test out the game mechanics, seeing what you can and what you can't do. It also threw up some interesting figures, such as Zico, Brian Laudrup and Rooney battling it out for the top scorer. Last time I checked, Rooney was on 380, Zico on 350 and Laudrup around 340, all 3 averaging more than a goal a game.
I think I dominate games because of my style of play. I am fantastic at defending, I mean truly top noch. I rarely concede thanks to a combination of techniques, you're looking at precision use of the super cancel, knowing when to run, slide tackling in advance and bringing the keeper out.
I could win each game by 10-12 if I focused solely on scoring goals, but I find the mechanical rounding of the keeper tedious after a while. Instead, I focus solely on long shots. Most of my ML games involve Zico, in the attacking mid role, getting off about 8 shots a game, as well as aiming at goal with any freekick within 40m.
I also shoot from corners directly because I can.
The game (WE10 here) is so perfectly in tune with my style of play. It allows you to experiment and just have a laugh really.
