For real Ziyech, Hakimi, Harit, Nesyri, Saiss and few other quality players. They have a lot of good attackers.

Hey Jrn, weren’t you using semi passing on FIFA? If so, trust me, manual on PES is much more user friendly imho. I thought manual on PES would be beyond me but I moved down from top player pass support 1 to full manual on professional. I’ve been plugging away at it since August and I’m really enjoying it. I still have complete nightmares now and then but I also have games where I dominate and win well too. Manual on PES really does give you greater opportunities to play killer passes, especially when you are counter attacking, and you can play it into the forward path of a teammate where he keeps running and doesn’t have to check back to wait for the assisted predetermined pass. On manual too, through balls are still showing as basic because obviously you’re on manual so the advanced bit doesn’t really make much difference. I never honestly thought I would be playing any football game on manual but I’m sure I won’t go back now. I can still take the odd hammering but they are getting fewer and fewer.

Yeah semi on FIFA. Also since I'm flipping back and forth between both games it's a bit more challenging to go full manual PES. Keeping track of both controls is to much brain power.

You can set the controls to pretty much what you use on both games with just maybe one or two that don’t match up, but yes, I know what you mean. As I was always a PES player first, when I switched to FIFA I used the alternate controls. I think it was only the jockey command that didn’t match up in the end.

Oh it's not the actual controls but the timing for getting the passes/shots right. FIFA is like a surgeon doing surgery with a buzzsaw. PES is doing surgery with a scalpel.

Yeah PES is much more sensitive when it comes to input. Hit the shot button early and they’ll do that slide shot thing.
