I think,and this is just me,that the game has changed a lot since the last patch,more playable now.
Yeah,it's an enjoyable game at the moment,had almost half a season without what we had before.
I was your watcher last night, but i was tired after work and my connection or the stream platform had issues .I lost the first half against Basel cause i was stuck buffering in formations screen and in the second stuck near the game end i got asleep.
Not from the game, from waiting the stream to buffer..
The empreror is back! Not an original Adriano style goal, it was even with the ''bad" foot but is difficult to play those players with a PES 6 approach in 2018.TO be honest the goal is not so special. The general momentum with Adriano's signature goal celebration is what motivates me more!
I use both "swarm the box" so the can't chip in to my box as special tactic,and gegenpress with frontline pressure.
I use for ATTACK counter attack+wide+short pass+maintain formation and in DEFENCE,all-out defence+conservative with a 4-3-3 with DMF-CMF-CMF ,SS-SS as wingfielders and a CF. When im back 0-1 and want equalise i turn on advanced tactics GEGENPRESS and attacking fullbacks. When im ahead for the last 20 minutes i turn on swarm the box+Centring targets as i return the two SS in RMF and LMF in a 4-3-2-1 (4-1-4-1) actually so can have someone to cross in counter attacks,i prefer it over counter target which works better but find the CF too isolated. In previus PES i used to defend with AI pressing [] and with the my controlling defender covering his back by following with super cancel and containing. The fact is that [] pressure works much different this year, it can be used in the correct timing with the correct positiong so 7/10 times it is uselees for me at least, when i get counter attacked and donmt have time to set up my defence line properly.
Yeah timing is everything,I often get caught high up,but I've pushed down my defensive line a lot,plus have two fast and strong CB covering the central area,so it pushes their counter attack wide,and I can often deal with it there,cover my space in the middle,pressure moderate.and not to hard until my wingers are back.
But now with my better performance, it costs too much. 
So in my Paris FC ML that i said from the other topic, TopPlayer/ClassicMode/PassAssist-LV1, i promoted 1st at last.i secured a +7 so i simulated some games. Now i am in summer i have classic budget issues as my Transfer Budget is 30.000.000 and my wage budget is -2.000.000, (ffs give us a budget slider at last),also i have 16 players squad so i can only take players on loan and wait until the season in Ligue 1 ends so if i take a good position and participate in CL or EL to rebalance the finances.
At the summer of 2020 i am also in EURO 2020 coaching National Team of Greece. I made the national team calls and i made a 3,5 stars roster. In group stage i was with Croatia (4,5stars), Slovenia(3,5stars) and Croatia (4,5 stars). I qualified to knockout undefeated 3W-0D-0L with astonishing games. The awesome moment was now, that im playing the knock out stage of 16 against France after France's national anthem and before ours (Greece-HELLAS), the speaker/our speaker (we have greek commentary since 2011, i hope also in the 2019) said some extra motivating words for Greece and Greek people, pretty sure it is outside of the international commentary "scenarios".
BONUS CONTENT: This is for you @rockstrongo ! My striker and EURO's 2020 first scorer Kostas Mitroglou who played for Benfica and now for Marseille makes a goal celebration by making his hands like guns, cowboy "pistolero" style, both in real life and also something similar in game. When he used to celebrate like this in Greek Super LEague ,Olympiacos President told him the next time he will do the "guns" celebrations he will be released imidiatelly from the club. But nowadays as you know "pistolas" are the trendy topic.
00:35 the celebration.
I change every 2 years in 2018. In previous PES with bigger MLs i changed every 3 or 5 years. My usual path is start from PEU league, after 2-3 years go to LEEDS in FL, promote play CL,EL and after the FIFA world club cup i go to Panathinaikos to play with some nice Greek regen players or to my Hometown (AO Kavala,Greece, Regional semi-professional League team the last years). My dream for a full ML campaign, was always to do this and after this circle, go to Latin America League (bra,arg,chi etc) win the Libertadores and Fifa world club cup and after go to Asian and do the same with AFC and FiFA World Club .Plus to all these take a national team and win the Regional Competition Cup (Euro-Copa AFrica etc) and the World Cup (Mundial). But this part takes too many seasons, i have never achieved to last until do all these as ususally i restart the ML for some reason. Maybe i'll do in 2018 which is the underdog PES for a sooo long ML.
It is sad to leave behind your built-up team, but it is also a satisfaction to watch their progress after you leave and see that the team you have created goes on fine and progresses even with someone else leading and relying on your base frame.
It's a good way to see it,I'm having a hard time leaving my team (Milan) 4 season in (Pes 17) I'm even gonna let a few guys retire while in my team.It is sad to leave behind your built-up team, but it is also a satisfaction to watch their progress after you leave and see that the team you have created goes on fine and progresses even with someone else leading and relying on your base frame.
It also depends on what typr of player you are.Someone may keep the basic XI for season. I personally am the type that changes almost 7/11 every season by selling and promoting players. Like the pokemon protagonist, that changes pokemon team in every new region!!
