Scoring is easy, just not from crosses.

Been playing as PES United on Regular.

Scoring goals via crosses from the flanks and corners is a very low percentage.
For my second last game, i belted in tons of crosses and not a single one found its mark.

Then I decided to just pass the ball into the penalty area to my striker to shoot. Managed to score 9 goals that way in a single game.

So, for myself at least, scoring is very easy just passing the ball into the penalty area or dribbling and shooting. Much higher percentage than crossing the ball.

Re: Scoring is easy, just not from crosses.

I haven't got the game yet. But I read complaints on another site that Konami "fixed" the auto-through ball issue from last year by correcting that aspect of the game while making scoring from crosses insanely easy.

Hard to know what to believe lol. Guess I'll find out for myself when the game arrives.

Re: Scoring is easy, just not from crosses.

I have a nice variety of goals -- and you should pay attention to the personnel that you are playing with (PES United) because that could have a huge impact on the style of offense you should have.

Not all teams can simply get perfect crosses and headers.

I'd also recommend professional difficulty.

Re: Scoring is easy, just not from crosses.

I play about 50/50 between top player/professional and I am seeing a great variety of goals. I actually find the hardest way to score goals for me is getting into the box, they shut me down pretty quickly when I get close to it and I feel like they have 30 men in the box at times.

Re: Scoring is easy, just not from crosses.

A lot of factors come into play when crossing the ball. For example, me trying to whip in crosses to Aaron Lennon and Jermaine Defoe for Tottenham.. It's just not gonna happen.

Re: Scoring is easy, just not from crosses.

Pro has been perfect for me. You really have to work your way through the other team. It is very challenging, but doesn't feel cheap.

The CPU seems to do a great job on crosses (oddly in the demo I was scoring off headers too often). The problem is getting the ball in front of a player running on instead of just hitting a guy standing still. The guy standing still is too easy to defend. The game could use a manual cross option.

Re: Scoring is easy, just not from crosses.

They fixed the crosses and most crosses now drop nicely into the penalty box center area.
In PES 2011, crosses tend to overshoot the penalty area.
However, it is still almost impossible to score via headers.

Through balls are very rare now, unlike in PES 2011.

Most of my goals are played directly to the player who then turns or dribbles a bit and then shoots.

Re: Scoring is easy, just not from crosses.

Scoring has been pretty dynamic for me in BAL mode. I've had games where I've gotten 3 goals and games where I've only gotten 3 shots.

I've been mainly in that mode though, playing in the Dutch and French leagues, so I haven't played much top competition or had great teammates.
