Thanks nuno for your help!
Loved your street fighter metaphor! I have never been a "skiller" with fifa and I am not sure I will manage to become one with pes. I have always felt like a good change in speed or a direction change with the right tempo were lethal enough in fifa either against the cpu or a user. If you look at the almighty messi he rarely tries skills, his dribbling is limpidly made of small touches in the good tempo.
Somehow I have hard time protecting properly the ball with my players body (I should use R2 or R1 right) and nailing these changes of direction in the right tempo. What trigger do you use if you want to dribble pass an opponent? R2 then R1 acceleration? Also if find the speed explosion (with double R1) harder than the double pull with R3 in fifa.
I guess it is matter of time before I start to become a bit comfortable with it .
