PES 2016 Available Today, Post Your Impressions

I tried. I tried to love it. But its just not possible. I can't play this anymore.

In 12 games the CPU scored directly after me, every time. On that kick off they would find some way to get an insane almost magical like run into the box. Within in seconds of kick off, with 2 or 3 players vs all 10 of mine. And once the CPU is in the box its all over. They hit the far post top corner every damn time. Its crazy. And not a single one of those games had less than five total goals scored. And not a single CPU foul. I just can't play this game.

Very odd. Must be the way you play then. No one has directly score off a kickoff after me yet, and my goalkeeper comes up with big saves in the box a bunch.

If you play PES like FIFA you will get destroyed Guaranteed.

The key is to not rush the game. It's a better strategy to cut off passing lanes to forwards and intercept than to try and win the ball. When you chase the ball it opens up gaps in your defense and opponents on high difficulty will exploit that space everytime.

If you watched the Barca-Roma game today, you should try to play like Roma. Sit back and congest the midfield. When you win the ball, counter attack quickly.

Playing PES like FIFA is like Roma playing kamikaze football vs. Bayern (Roma lost 7-1; they chased the ball and got destroyed because they left gaping hopes in midfield for Bayern to exploit).
Play PES patiently and defensively and you have a much much better chance of getting a result.

I'm already playing on the highest difficulty. Which says something in and of itself because as someone who's mostly played FIFA this past decade, I suck at PES. I regularly hit the wrong buttons! I concede tons of goals and yet scoring is a piece of cake.

I'm just seeing lots and lots of poor defending all around.

Change your controls to Type 2 (FIFA controls). The default setting is Type 1.

I guess it all depends on how you play and what settings you play on. For those saying it's too easy to score, put the game on superstar, the speed on -1 and set everything to manual. I guarantee you will get more of a challenge.

Most people wont do this because it make the game too hard.

I think most people want a challenge but dont want to be frustrated by the challenge. There is a HUGE learning curve switching everything to manual and -2. I personally play this way, but i think most people want a pick up and play experience with limited frustration.

This is what I love about you PES die hards. The first thing you assume is someone else is "playing the game wrong".

Maybe you could post a video. Your experience seems to be very different from most I have talked to.
