Terribly! I'm going to stick with it though... I think a week of playing nothing but manual will definitely help the transition.
I didn't include some of the passes from the video otherwise it would have just been the full game - I think I spent the first half booting it straight out of play! But yeah, I agree, poor defending for the first goal from me and the second was a bit of an error with the keeper and the throw. Should have scored that Hazard goal in the first half as well. I'll play a few more tonight I think, might try and get some general highlights from the games!
Third match guys and I loved this game.
I love how the weather conditions can change throughout the match which affect the physics of the ball making it get stuck in the puddles. Watching players slide around as the rain comes teeming down is excellent. Also, something I haven't noticed before is the player's tops, not only do they begin to cling to them but the Spurs ones also got darker almost a grey colour because of the rain.
Another thing that stood out in this game is player individuality, I really felt like certain players made a difference when I controlled them. I think this is more noticeable when controlling a top team with better known players.
I know this is only my third game in (of this ML) but I feel that I could play this for another year. I'm not even too fussed about the beta for 2018 coming out tomorrow.
Next up is a Champions League game against Real Madrid, I've never played a CL game before as I am normally a smaller team. Really looking forward to it, hopefully play it tomorrow (the beta will have to wait)
Thanks Deco, yeh that was really tense and Lloris made some excellent saves especially two in the first half. And I loved how Son came on and was taking on their defence, I could really feel his dribbling skills coming through.
Yeh full manual buddy, though at the moment I am only on Professional but it feels balanced at the moment. The three games I played I could have easily lost.
What is a bit tricky is playing on unassisted cursor having to press L1 each time. It is ok in normal passages of play but when I play a one two that's when it is tricky. Because I have to Hold L1 (i think to activate a one two), then press X (to pass), then press L1 again (to take control of the player), then X (to pass back), then L1 (to take control of the player again). When it works though it feels great. It's good as it keeps my brain active
Not sure if the pesuniverse option file has improved it, but loving it.
And the rain, oh the rain. You couldn't see it in that video but there were times in that second half when players were just slipping over even when they were not near the ball. I saw one of my defenders slip once I thought I hope the CPU doesn't exploit the gap he had left. Greta stuff.
Have you stopped ML Deco?
I'm going to try and get the hang of this full manual thing and then jump into playing another ML at some point I think so I'll be posting videos again regularly (ish!)
Online matches with full manual against players with assisted controls is always funny, the first half of the match they can not understand what is happening because they do not see scripted assisted passes wich they are used to resist, they just don't know what to do.
I reckon there's enough of us here who play manual (or learning...) that some arranged games online would be really fun. I think we've all got a nice idea of how to play so if there ever was an interest when PES 2018 comes out I'd be keen! We could even have a little league going on if people fancied it.
Yeah, we've still got about 2 months from launch but we could probably get an idea of people who were interested in it. Some sort of round robin league, relatively easy for us to play one game a week or so rather than take away from people's usual PES time and normal life activities.
I think it makes no sense to introduce any restrictions on the level of the teams, let everyone choose a team that matches their strength
Nah I don't think so, I only use advanced shooting because I'm more used to it than basic. We can probably agree on some 'base' rules between whoever wants to take part.
Yeah, I get your point here to be fair - I think if it's a league that we're all actively playing in then we'd probably pick a team and play with it for maybe 'season 1' and then change if we fancied it.
