Love hate game :grin:

The referees are a joke lol

The actual gameplay is much better than FIFA. But the fucken refs are ridiculous lol

Think I’ve only had 4 penalties awarded to me in about 700 matches lol. Fucking refs.

Yeah I’ve had about 8 penalties.

On the other hand, I’ve conceded 8474928474 free kicks and had 12 in my favour.

Also, every AI direct free-kick ends up in the top corner. I can’t believe they haven’t sorted that yet.

Doesn’t matter if it’s Leo Messi or Barry Bannan, every direct free kick… top corner.

I play it for a few hours every couple of days and I only play friendlies or the Konami Cup as I CBA committing to leagues haha and I’m really enjoying it tbh maybe because I don’t play it regularly.

I’ve not a had a red card yet tho even after a few dodgy challenges :joy:

That upgrade also changed the jostling system to make it even worse.

Barely touched it since that.

Just got two penalties in one half :joy: scored both!

I love when I play a long ball over to Pepe and he has the pace to get to it first by simply running straight at the ball, but he starts joining in a jostle with the closest defender instead lol

Bayern are probs my favourite team to play as in this

Asking very late into the season but how do you get your defensive lines to stop backing off so much? It feels like there’s no line pressure on by default

You want:
Frontline Pressure active
Agressive pressing
Switch defensive line to like 8ish

These are in the defensive options i believe

Was watching Spoony Pizza’s own ML career game, he plays with Roma.

Take a look at the state of his formation :laughing:

The hell

Haha the random left back is a bit weird. But I reckon it works more like a CB that progresses.

I’ve started playing this:

Not my complete first team as I have three injured atm, just took this now in a match vs N.Forest.

I’m tempted to try that dodgy LB lol.

Walcott and Glenn Murray?

Walcott (16 yr old regen) has played one cup game for me and only made the bench because I have three injured and others fatigued. Otherwise does not feature, trying to loan out.

G.Murray I got as a regen and loaned out for two seasons. His stats are quite good and his future potential trajectory is rocketing.

I’m on my 4th season on this save

Did think they had to be regens haha no other way you’d have them :joy:

@Bl1nk whats the longest ever injury you have got on PES 20?

I’ve just clocked my Haaland is out for another 5 weeks (he’s already been out for 2 weeks).

In my 17ish seasons on this game, I’ve never had an injury over 2 weeks till now. New update???

Oh wow, I had no idea you could actually find out the length of an injury in that screen! I recall it just saying ā€˜Injured’ for me. And in the news section it said: ā€œPlayer will return sometime in Aprilā€ for example.

But err, I think my longest injury is 2 / 3 weeks. Maybe they did tweak that in a patch.

I’ve also been getting more penalties, AI making clumsy fouls.
