In PES you can tackle all you want, they'll rarely call fouls and even more rarely will you see a card. I've still never seen a red in PES, not one.

I play exactly the same way. Standing tackles have never been effective for me, I anticipate the run and intercept the ball like you do. I use the slide tackle when I think there's at least an 80% chance of executing it successfully based on the situation I'm in. Either that, or I'll use it if I'm feeling particularly ambitious and I want to catch the opponent off guard when they think they've got time on the ball.
