Something in the Making: Lam Matteo (PES 2009)

Sorry, nope. PES 2015 is just garbage. That's not football, honestly. Back to PES 2013. Soon. Sorry everyone.

Re: Something in the Making: Lam Matteo (PES 2009)

Yeah, I definitely get that. I'ts more so the completed passes. As a sim footballer, I cannot stand seeing 9-12 consecutive passes completed so easily through the pitch.

No worries though I've edited each team to have aggression set up, and few players in defense to allow Nesa's gameplay patch to take over from there. It actually creates a variety and a mix of attacks. I started to see crosses from teams that were passing into the box as well.

I am doing transfers up the 2027 season in Matteo's career, then I'll start putting out some matches.

When the CPU goes into that mode it's usually in their own half, which happens if you're not playing a pressing game and/or cutting out the link man. I drop back into a very defensive, 10 men behind the ball defense in my fluid formation and use my ST to try to cover the passing lanes inside, forcing the CPU to either go wide or hoof it up the field. Once they get in your half they are much more direct although I too would like to see more crossing into the box.

The real problem is that they took out some of the tactical options from 2013 & 2014. If you fire up your 2013 game and then jump back into 2015 you'll notice things are missing.

It's part of the reason why I stopped playing my 2015 BAL and focused on ML.

I can see that. It makes sense now because you know I play in BAL or fixed mode. I am going to go with FIFA 15 though. The sliders work great and it feels like real football.

Good to get out
Hoping for better play overall

"Defensively we have to be sharper. Gabby's goal could have been prevented if we had better coverage in the defensive third. This was a tough match, and we are no a bit of a losing streak now. I feel we will show the leaders what we'are all about though."

Am I the only one who sees the irony of you losing to Aston Villa?

Re: Something in the Making: Lam Matteo (PES 2009)

Nice job getting an assist. First one of the season too.

Lol. They have a far better manager now. Remember, Hursty...this is the future.

Yes, I forgot to record it, it wasn't anything great - just a simple through 5 foot through ball.

Dissapointing
Nice strike, but team is not "there"

"There needs to be more intent to win. Often times we would be passing the ball throughout the back with no purpose. Even when we were down by a goal, it just wasn't the right representation of Fulham Football Club."

Yakubu played like his father today with a great opening goal.

Tough Pill to swallow
Matteo tried his best, but too little too late

"This team is in a bit of a dry spell of wins. We just aren't combining the best, it could be the formation, the chemsitry - or all of the above. I need to find my shooting boots quickly!"

Re: Something in the Making: Lam Matteo (PES 2009)

What about PES 11? I had a look at that the other day, and I can still enjoy it very much. Granted, the CPU sometimes makes players act like total ******s, but if you can get past those moments (which in my opinion aren't that frequent), you can get a decent game going. It's not that unrealistic.
I managed to finish an entire career on PES 11.

I struggled with it on the BAL level. Animations like dribble with no aim and then getting dispossessed (CPU and teammate AI) easily just compounded some of the issues. It's still a better game than any other for regular play though.

I have high hopes for PES 16...we'll see. Matteo will return regardless, we know this
