One more observation about PES 2017..
As some of you know, I've always been a PA1 player (an entirely personal preference: I tend to enjoy it more and like the passing stats weight, like I've mentioned to @slamsoze and @vialli82 many times before). But.. Have you guys noticed how in PES 2017, manual passing kind of plays like semi in FIFA?
I played an exhibition with a South American team, and I experimented with manual passing (with assisted shot), and it felt much more stats based and intermediate in terms of assistance, and kind of like an 0.5 PA, like semi in FIFA!
Then I tried the same settings in PES 2018 and passing felt too manual for my style, not assisted enough. I think this type of intermediate passing is only for PES 2017!
I mention this because I remember that @Madmac79 used to say that he loved PA1 in PES 2015, because it felt more like PA 0.5. I've also been experimenting a lot with semi passing in FIFA, and I've enjoyed it too, so I thought this observation was interesting! Have you guys felt this too in PES 2017? I would love it if this was the case and it's not just my impression,! It'd be awesome so that it was like a version of FIFA's semi also yet retaining stats weight! This intermediate type of 0.5 PA setting is something I've always been interested in!
Wish I could tell you something about 17 manual, but to be honest I'm just not a fan of the option in general, so I tried it just few little times in the years. I remember trying manual on 18 for a period when it came out, for example, cause I found the assisted passing way too on rails (personally I've always considered this one the more assisted of the saga, maybe it's the same in Pes 17 the but the physicality kinda masks it to me), but as you said it felt really too free, and even it added more free kicks among the other things, I eventually abandoned it quickly.
Anyway, sounds cool it's less extreme on 17. Might give it a try next time I'll play it
