Re: PES 2017 Demo Available on Xbox One, PS4, PS3 - Post Your Impressions
Some great discussion in here fellas!
Regarding Barca, that's how they are in real life though. They subscribe to the 6 sec rule (after losing possession they MUST win it back within 6 secs or they drop into formation). It's why generally counter-attack focused teams (or teams that switch to that mentality) are the only one's to really have success vs them (2014 Real, 2012 Chelsea, Atletico). They also push so many #'s forward that they often have 2-3 players around the ball when in possession so when they lose it it's easy to swarm.
I've noticed that when playing them most of my matches are up & down because of their high pressure tactic which leaves their midfield over-exposed. When I'm playing with no assistance though, that press is lethal and I'm constantly just clearing the ball out of danger instead of trying to pass my way out of the back. I beat them for the first time this morning with Arsenal. They had 8 shots to my 2 (and 1 was from a FK) and I pretty much just soaked up pressure and tried to have 2 players around Messi and Neymar at all times.
In regards to tactics as a crutch, I'm guilty at times of that but my primary goal with tactics is to get different play styles by different teams. I hate repetitiveness, especially in video games when it comes to AI. It's why I prefer tactics to sliders BUT fully realize that a combination of both is the most we can ask for in a game.
Edit: Completely agree about those missing ratings Matt. I thought the old PES' had some of the best attributes in sports games. They really had an impact on the game and how you rated players.
