    I took the leap from FIFA but I only play ML and I feel there is no immersion. Gameplay is better for sure in PES but I dunno...

      Which difficulty level are you playing the game at ?

      I found top player difficulty a little cheaty and problematic, i tried professional last 2 games, much better result

I don't know how many times I've thought I got past a defender with a dridble only to be stone walled by them and go tumbling over lol . The average game when combining both teams has about what? 15-20 fouls with the away team usually making about 55-60% of those? I'd be happy if they could get it to 10
        Exactly. Here's an example albeit on offense:



        This is BAL. Barcelona vs Real Madrid. I'm playing right mid for Barca. We were up 1-0 and this is how Real Madrid start off the second half. Almost 7 consecutive one touch passes. Then goal.

        And, for the record, this was on top player. Makes you feel like there's no point.

          EXACTLY!!! This happened to me like 10+ times.

          1 touch passes and you absolutely have no chance to prevent it. NO CHANCE !!!

          The defender steps forward 1 step (CPU controlled defender of user) and they send through ball and forward gets the ball and goal!

          It's like you are only watching not playing.

          So I suggest you to try professional difficulty, this never happens!

            I've tried BAL on professional difficulty a few times. Unfortunately it usually ended with me winning by 3+ while the opposition AI were lucky to create 3 chances.

              So professional is easy, not challenging enough but realistic and fair
              Top player is competitive but not fair and computer cheats

              Seems like there's no middle ground for us

                PES 2018 feels much more scripted compared to PES 2017 for me

                  For people complaining about lack of fouls, I get what you mean overall, but I don't agree that the CPU is committing fouls that just aren't being called. Look at the replays in closeup slo-mo and make sure they don't get the ball before you get mad.

                  I'm averaging about 2 CPU fouls per game, with a yellow about every other game. Not saying it's enough, but it could be worse. It's all about taking touches and pushing the ball away from defenders. They will slide tackle you from behind if you create space.

                  I'm not interested in a patch that fixes fouls by making CPU defenders as braindead as last year.
                  I'm able to get fouls also. All this "There are no fouls!" is not accurate.

                  But, I'll agree there aren't enough fouls. A big part of it seems to be the AI isn't capable of calling some of the "ticky-tacky" fouls that do occur. Many times the CPU will "clip" me or some other slight trip or hack that causes me to stumble while their teammate steals the ball. That should draw a whistle.

                  Also a problem are the times the ref does call a foul, but plays advantage when there really isn't any. Those should be a whistle. Many times I've had a foul in a clearly advantageous position that doesn't get whistled because the ref plays advantage. And no way to get the whistle...it used to be if you just released all controls it would be called, but I can't get that in this version.

                  Also, there are some bad player clipping issues. I've seen a few examples posted over the last week or so that if the clipping didn't happen, it would've been a clear situation where a foul would be called.

                  There has been a statement there would be an increase of fouls in a future patch, and the other day there was a note in the game about another issue that would be fixed in a patch later in November. So let's hope this is at least an idea of when we can hope to see a fix.

                    I had a real problem with the AI playing the same way every single time, almost to perfection, made me almost throw it out. Superstar difficulty is horrible and professional is a bit too easy for me at times. So, I decided to go top player in 20 minute games with the dinamic wide cam. Using Bielsa's favorite formation, 3133, posession game, with gegenpress to imitate the intensity, started a new ML in Serie B with Pescara and I'm finally enjoying this game. Every game finishes with real like statistics and close scores. But seeing the intensity of Bielsa's teams on the pitch is just beautiful.

                          Sorry mate, what do you mean "by now" ? I'm not playing the game last 2 weeks, did they make some changes to gameplay ?

                          I was frustrated with top player difficulty 2 weeks ago

                            No we are still waiting on the patch. What I did do is change the tactics of all the teams in Serie B with Matt's att/def levels, and did some other tweeks using paphinos and royce's tactics. I also hiked up the time to 20 on -2 speed and use the super cancel button while i'm on defense.

                                Stuck trying to figure out the difficulty levels. Superstar is playable on exhibition matches, even though the CPU scoring has that automatic/scripted feeling at times, but cup matches on that difficulty are punishing and barely worth the effort.
