@abbeyhil Much as it pains me to admit, the fly by night manager is going to restart. There's something about being in another calendar that doesn't translate very well in the PES journey when you move continents. Missed regen window, weird youth team, starting mid season with no objectives. And also that inclusion of old Lobato in the default team who I sold for £20+m gave me too much leeway in season 1. New beginnings, in Europe.
It seems to be a bit of a thing if you go from one country to another. When I went from Thailand to Europe my new club was full of Asian players, when I moved to Man U from Nancy it was loaded with very below par nobodies. You seem to get the lowest possible cohort, no regens, no potential stars until it resets on your new calendar. A difficult first transfer window with no benefit whatsoever of the old boys match - regens simply haven't appeared as scheduled. Good job I'm not a cheque-book manager as some of those previously trying their luck in Italy.
You've really got your eye in with the midrange finesse curlers. A beloved type of goal for me, and no, they never stop feeling satisfying. I wondered what you were doing with Plastun there. I thought, he's a wrong 'un. Then the scooped aerial through-ball went in and I thought, that's a good 'un. Nice to see the old faces in Brandt and Grandal (the American continent's Arcas). Not suprised not to see Bassano. I still pick him in my Brazilian ML and still try the 30-yarders with the same regularity but after 4-5 seasons none have gone in. Matutes (Jarvis) isn't quite the same either.
Yes, the short corner routine for a curled floater seems to be a bit of a turn and shoot sweet spot. Of course you don't see the many hundreds that missed but it's a lot higher strike range than the mid range gun barrel blaster. It is a bit of a shame that no matter where you start the free agent pile is the same and tbh who can afford to ignore them. I got more this time around because of the Lobato transfer, you'll have clocked bargain Bellingham as well. Ulloa had his release fee met (even after I gave him a new contract) hence not featuring often. Bassano was not even close to a Rice - he is completely anonymous really, not worth a spot once I signed the Russian guy with the similar hard shot. The Plastun scoop is something born out of frustration at the park the bus and it seems to cause a bit of panic. Worth a go. But not for me in Toronto....at the end of the season I got an offer too good to ignore, and tbh I don't like being out of sync with Europe. It meant going to a club mid-season but within a transfer window and wow, do they need help - 37 players with atleast a dozen either on loan or loanees....all to be reveealed.
Alt-Rice (Bassano) has been 'meh' for me too across ~4 seasons in South America (an ML I'm itching to get back to now that my FUMA phase is waning). There is only one Rice. Alt-Castledine, though, Ulloa, is just as effective as the Euro version, and yes, he is dynamite on the right of any setup, cutting inside and unleashing havoc. I saw your own FUMA thoughts on the other vid and you seem to have got the gist, but the downside of FUMA is that it punishes every slight error you might make. The real FUMA heads play long match times to offset the long periods when they're without the ball. I see the appeal, and feel it, but I've got unfinished business with PES 2021 on standard settings, crazy to say.
Yes, I saw some conversations on that there Reddit that were talking about 15 minute halfs and the like. That would be a PES only gaming life for the time I have free and I can't imagine having the patience. It'd be like coming home from work and firing up the flight simulator to take a jaunt to Rome - I'd be just across the channel before I'd want guns and crash landings. One thing I have to add about the MLS - wow, is it boring. The strips are the opposite of Ligue 2 - it's effectively reds v whites - total lack of stripes, hoops, flourishes or any other kind of individuality. It isn't the hardest league though - defaults, season 1 I've only lost 4 out of 16 (too many draws) and have won both rounds of the cup. I see it very much as a stepping stone.
It’s going to take a while to not think B. Ulloa is J. Rice. Thanks to the old man Lobato money I had a big lump to spend on recruits. Unfortunately opting for something a bit different is difficult when there are clear bargains in the free agent pile and yards of also rans. In came friends of the programme Brandt, Tevez, Civelli, Pogracic as I went for a minimal 18 man squad with some genuine quality. Possibly my best decision though was moving to a 3-4-3, a formation I’ve never played, and moving Ulloa (the Castledine of the Americas) to SS on the right - the latter inspired by NG’s Castledine cut inside discussion. He’s been a revelation. My Rice really. While my actual Rice (Bassano) has been meh.
South American ML? You know who they all are of course (South American Rice never quite hit the heights but South American Castledine was a carbon copy). It's a tough and niggly game there. Still have mine on pause while I get through my FUMA phase.
Not quite (see above to @slamsoze). This was me starting an MLS career, a league I’ve never played and no doubt has some odd rules about playoffs etc. I went full manual and spent ages messing around with through ball before I realised that manual pass pretty much does away with through ball, and also that advanced through ball/runs are ridiculously difficult to pull off. So I settled in to half a dozen games on top player full manual passing and shooting. This was the first goal I scored. I presume South American default is North American but the Rice lookalike is an amf Ulloa who I think is the Casteldine. The Rice Rice is Bassano from Peru. And of course old man Lobato turns up in the squad with no comparable European default. While I think manual is the future, right now I just want to pipe and slippers it during the Euros. So I restarted a level 1, basic shooting on Superstar. A Chinese team promptly bought out Lobato’s leaving price so I have a lump of cash to invest. It’s all feeling quite odd because of that Lobato outlier. And of course Rice was never born in this world.
I've spent the last week or so messing around with EAFC Ultimate Team and is truly awful, even offline. So back to PES but now I think is the time to end this particular career. This Rice shot sums it up - I came close but I wasn't really in danger of winning the big prizes and my talisman was starting to go downhill. I was losing 3-0 to Spurs having lost 1-0 to some nobody team in the CL. High possession, many shots, to no avail, when it decides you're not the one it needs a better player than me to overcome it. And it's Man Utd anyway. So the Newcastle-Nancy-Man U journey is over. I won precisely nothing. I'm torn between starting World Class same again but behave differently, or going manual on a - don't say it Abbeyhill - lower setting. Not sure right now, the 20 shots to stay at nil is a problem, don't know if manual will overcome this? There might be a few false starts along the way.
I'm more confused by 'World Class' - you mean Superstar, no? EAFC gameplay certainly is not great but there are some aspects I find compelling on career mode, good player individuality and difference between good and bad opposition teams
@@abbeyhil indeed - that EA Fifa stuff rots the brain. I realised after I posted that it went Top Player, Superstar, etc rather than WC. Tbf I am only playing within Ultimate Team, but that mode really is junk. It’s a dribbling contest, passing is redundant. I’m amazed by how much of a backward step it seems.
I find camera a very crucial point of my gameplay. Even the angle or the height can give me a different perspective of the depth of field. As for the radar, i use it since ISS on SNES and FIFA 99, so I've practically never played without radar. But i know people that do not like radar or name plates, some even play without powergauges. I assume it's what you are used to.
End of season 2028. A few notes on this though - firstly, no-one would ever play Rice wide on the left, I don't even have a formation with a left. He's the engine room not some wafty winger. Secondly, the rest of the team is laughable. Man City won the league by miles. Wolves were second (they are considered one of the top clubs in my world), I was 3rd. That team should be packed with Man City players. Even if it isn't I only conceded 24 goals. Thirdly, I got the dreaded message that Rice had dropped by a point to 74 ovr. He is on his way down (surprisingly so is Haaland - both are 28). I have got regen Toni Kroos and this might be the season I have to split game time. And the Euros were awful - ridiculously fast, ping pongy nerf football - I lost all 3 group matches to the odd goal.
Surprisingly I've taken the added slog of being England manager and played all the matches - I think there's a Euros at the end of this what was supposed to be a one match stand in job. The reason being it is a useful sandbox in the absence of club friendlies. One thing I've found very hard in the club season (I'm 3rd but Man City and dozens of points ahead) is breaking down the AI edge of the box wall. Additionally, my passes sometimes go nowhere near the intended place as nerf kicks in. I've knocked the England camera out to the much wider view - same height and angles - and it's showing me a lot more of the player runs that I will need now that simply being a much better team isn't enough. I doubt I'd have seen this Bellingham run at club level (and does anyone use radar??). I'm going to switch permanently.
nice goal and angle! That's the camera I play with, although it does leave the players looking tiny on the laptop screen. Used to love playing international tournaments and leagues back in the day of classic PES but don't find them such a good fit into a ML
And as a footnote, I've never seen that 'Bellingham arms/shush' celebration from Rice or any other player either. I never press any buttons after a goal though. Same thing happens to me on FIFA 24 (that's its name to me) where I'll score and I'll watch the player running across the pitch doing nothing, and then belatedly press a button at random to get them to do something or other.
I'm not a fan of most of the celebrations as they are often out of context - a tap in that the player trots off from then two seconds later he's bombing towards the corner flag - I think it's just me mashing the buttons to get going again and triggering something. I despise the ones that interact with microphones etc, almost as much as when I (the manager) show fury at a missed chance then applaud the effort. Show me a near miss and I'll show you a miss...
I think they are more contextual on PES, depending where exactly on the touchline you sprint with the scorer, rather than requiring a certain button press. Doesn't explain why Rice was shushing his own fans though
@@abbeyhil I don't 'sprint with the scorer' either. After a goal goes in I don't press or do anything other than press Start eventually, or sometimes immediately. If I do wait a few seconds before pressing Start, I'm not pressing any button at all. Not even the directional control. The pad rests in my palms with no new input whatsoever, until Start is pressed. I only ever see the player(s) running in a line or cluster. So there is a whole world of PES 2021 that I have never seen.
hah! I saw and enjoyed the Riceness of the missed one earlier, but it's as if the PES gods owed you one and paid up. This was a few yards closer it looked like but the same end of the pitch, the same direction and style of shot. I was going to say on the other one but will say here: 99% of my Rice shots are like the one that went wide (or they get blocked, or go over, or are saved, etc.). 1% of them are like this one. But they're SO satisfying.
Interesting as these two have been very 'not Rice' shots for me up till now. Much faster, much lower. I do use finesse with him quite a bit but even the straight on piledrivers have been more considered thumps, whereas these are pinging off his boot like volleys would. Even though he's reached 75 ovr he has never gained any of the shooting traits so I'm not sure if it's me or him that's evolved.
I included this Rice miss because it really surprised me. Not much was happening around the box so I decided to have a punt with the nation's favourite long ranger. Power was about my usual for him, he gives himself a bit of pace to work with through the forward touch but it's not a fast run onto effort, and I just shot - no finesse, etc. He has scored some daisy cutters for me but this is low, powerful and very very fast - I've never seen anything like it. After the game I got a bid for him - £8million. Derisory for the man who keeps pulling rabbits out of hats despite seeming to be stuck at 75 overall.
@@abbeyhil I honestly don't know which foot is Rice's supposed best one - I assume it says right in the player details but I have a go with either and they all seem to fly.
roll on the VAR feature! Out of the irony, it's amazing what KONAMI achieved in the latest PES installments. Most clear Penalties are ignored or denied, while the majority of fouls the ref awards me inside the penaly area, are usually some late collision detection, or some bad collision detection
dear me, not sure how Bale's legs went flying in that direction, a travesty. You know there's a way of quick-selecting a set piece taker without going into the formation screen??
I did but I can't remember what it is, and I don't understand why it didn't give me the taker I actually had specified in the settings as he was still on the pitch
I got asked, as you often do by season 2 regardless of any success. Intended to do a one match Peter Taylor effort then discovered you can’t, you have to take it for the season. That’s annoying as I don’t want to do it but here we are. No idea if there is a tournament ahead.
Tried it once, I think the first game it was introduced, but disliked how it disrupts the rhythm of the ML experience. You're getting into it with your team and players and developing some nicely, worrying about a few others, enjoying a player starting to get in the goals, and looking forward to seeing how the story unfolds next match -- but then you have to go off and play sometimes 2-3 matches with a completely different team, using players you usually don't know and don't care about. You'll end up simming them all.
@@GregDowns Indeed, and also looking to not pick your own players so they don't come back wrecked. I've played two matches and not cared about either - they seem to come in 2s which is irritating.
I believe some would mistakenly describe this as ‘scissors’. They are of course the same people who miscalculate shooting yardage. I currently have regen messi, Ronaldo, and bale in my squad. They are all known for their irl traits but along with Haaland I’m struggling to show anything unique about them. There is more individuality in Rice. This is the first ‘big player’ thing I’ve seen from any of them. Anyway, I finished the season in 8th. Never in the hunt for anything but Man Utd were so low when I got there that it was fine, new contract rolled around and I shipped out the last of the genuine old guard. New season is my team, it’s all on me.
A classic...overhead....kick. All the more impressive given that we are running on Spring time so lost an hour of vital club practice because of the naturally shorter day. I like the way Haaland boots the ball at the defender after scoring. Amazingly, after the match I was told he had declined one point that month and his best days were likely behind him. He's 27!!
The derby day trauma made me fear the worst but like a benevolent old uncle PES gave me some absolute dream match ups for my next few games - space just suddenly opened up, pretty much every shot I tried from outside the box had a better than usual chance of going in, there's even a straight from kick off goal. The only thing I changed was dropping Fernandes, which dropped my team spirit by 10 points, so it really has felt like another shift of the narrative. Approaching the transfer window and I feel like I pretty much can't sign anyone - I have a fortune but every player responds that they don't feel they'd get enough playing time. It's the problem with taking on the big club job, but then again I do have regen Messi up front as he was lying around the free agent pile!
Whereas this chancer....the Neil Warnock of PES? - actually I felt I was under massive pressure. I'd been getting the cut scenes about must win before derby and had a run of Spurs, Liverpool and then City. I'd dropped to 13th after my opening stroll against Arsenal - couldn't put any sort of form together and was 4-4-5 or thereabouts. However, Man Utd are currently 50th in the world rankings (Wolves and Fulham are higher!) so they must have had a terrible few seasons. I think expectations are very low so there wasn't even a message to suggest I was in danger.
Those hardcoded rival matches and some knock out matches are usually very irritating. Handicap to human player, questionable referees, final whistles in +1 minute over the the added time when CPU needs to score, or or ending the match in 90'49'' instead of 91' when you are counter attacking for one last chance. The no-fouls and PKs i would say seems normal by now, since they are been neglected even in ordinary matches.
thank you @slamsoze - you are clearly an elite manager like me and familiar with the struggles we endure. 😁 (I think I just got hit with all of the things you list)
I’m not sure - I got him via the free agent pile in Jan of last season because weirdly Man U’s entire youth squad was full of Asian 50 somethings, like a default season 1 effort. He’s the right age (19) for a recent regen but not for season 6. Hoping he will replace Bruno F eventually
It was a dog’s breakfast indeed. I ran out 4-1 winners but have since struggled. Think it decided I’d got off too well and promptly hit me with three draws and being dumped out of the cup by Millwall.
Consequently, I decided on a break and fired up RDR2...that's a rabbit hole I can feel myself falling back into. Last time I ended up making stew to eat while playing
Interested to hear how that goes@@Uncleturf . Personally I adore RDR2 but that's entirely on story and atmosphere rather than gameplay - has none of the freedom and creativity of e.g. your Skyrim
@@abbeyhil No, and I think that's why I gave it up last time - that you have to do certain missions to unlock areas, and there is limited free will in some missions. I'd also forgotten how easily you die - or fail if you don't do something in time, it's very GTA like that. However, simply riding around and living the life of a hunter is superb - after a certain point I may just ignore the story to go fishing.
don't think I've seen a dive called in my hundreds of hours playing. A few penalties but pretty much all of them saved - keeper suspiciously always goes the right way.....
what a moment that would have been - last minute Rice 30 yarder in the derby! Certainly never seen him at 75 OVR. Interesting those captaincy boosts, wasn't fully aware of that
That one is a great example of the feature working as intended. You know you can try it too as well? R1+R2+R3+L1+L2+L3. You have to be very opportune with it. I remember trying it when it was introduced... I'm going to guess it was around PES2010-ish. If this is the first you're hearing about the feature it's because unless you execute the command at the right time and place, you always get the treatment the ref dishes out there. A random Google just now turns up some claims of successfully winning penalties, so who knows. I get penalties at the rate of about 1 every 5 seasons. I've missed my last few.
It does look like a wrong decision - "if the on-field ref had given it, it wouldn't have been overturned", as we hear all the time now - but I'm amazed it's a first for you. I see opposition players booked for penalty area simulation quite regularly in my Master League worlds and always have done. At least 2-3 times a season on average. This is a bit like when I saw your players do a run-behind-the-goal celebration and it was the first time I'd ever seen it, never seen that in mine.
It depends on some player's celebration animations, but you can trigger it manually, if you move your player in specific positions into amd out of the pitch, after you score a goal. You can also kick the ball into the nets, if you move towards the ball and hit shoot button (it's square for me) in the right time.
The Man U squad I inherited was good, but big, old and very expensive. De Gea, Maguire, Bailly, Fernandes, Martial, VD Beek, Rashford plus too many similar strikers the wrong side of 27. Think of Man U's transfers from around 2018-20 plus other square pegs. I didn't want to destroy the team spirit but it was a time bomb. But I didn't get a lot of offers for them so had to offer trades. Problem with this is that potential signings decided they were unsure of their place in the squad. I got knocked back by so many that I had to go for regens and players from 'other' who seem more likely to sign (I remain unconvinced by the scouting option). There were a few nice surprises and some misses.
You're doing finesse curlers with Rice. And my crossing Jarvis/heading Castledine was weird?! He nearly made it too. My current Rice has developed to 72OVR already (season 3), I think that's the highest he ever got in my longest career to date.
It's the opposition that's made me go for the finesse - I found over the seasons that straight thunderbolts tend to go at the keeper (remember central shooting?!). It's worked well up until now. I made him my first Man U signing - generally I don't like raiding former clubs but knew he was going to be available. He's now 75 overall and a 'workhorse'. It's not gone well though. He seems too slow for the PL, off the pace with his chasing and harrying, and not scored a single goal. Dropping him for Tarantini was inevitable. He got his place back but he stands out as needing to justify his place now.
@@Uncleturfdon't forget the still-very-real mechanic in PES of an individual's team affinity (the linked nodes you used to be able to see on PS2 PES by pressing Circle on the Formation screen). Your Rice will come good. He's a deliberate design by the team behind the late-PS4 era. And yours is 75OVR?! Talk about a random seed effect. I doubt mine will get past 73 now.
@@GregDownsyes, I now look at aspects such as 'lone wolf' when thinking about signings as there are some big drop offs. One massive one is when I make Bruno Fernandes captain (he is described as a Smart Player) it gives the team a 10 point bump in Team spirit. If I made Rice captain, as workhorse the fatigue rate slows.
Rice does the impossible. For his stats he is nothing at all, yet he breaks up play, initiates moves, charges into the box and then there’s the shooting. When I played in Thailand his default doppelgänger was nothing like him so it is Rice, he’s unique. And I have 3 games to decide on my future. Can I make up an 11 point lead in the second half of the season? Am I happy with 2nd in my first season in the top league? Am I a year of regen growth away from European glory? Or will I take the filthy Ineos money and their really over the hill squad?
No, @abbeyhil it was a genuine attempt to cross the ball but I thought it would go more back stick - that Haaland appeared in the 88th to snick it in at the near post felt an act of supreme AI style shithousery
I saw your Brandt news and wondered if you'd get the same one that you knew before, have you? As with a Rice or a Castledine et al, there's a significant 'random roll' for players between saves as different things happen to them. You have turned on your secondary cursor when out of possession. Never noticed. Must've been deliberate... what does it add?
Yes, that's Brandt from my Newcastle days - 3 years older, still high overall, unknown quantity but there was a lack of good free agents in the AMF role and I don't like these SS/CMF square pegs in round holes efforts. As for the cursor - not a clue, I wasn't even aware of it. I recall doing something similar with the manual pass arrow.
@@UncleturfI didn't realise you were still in the same career. Think I had Brandt at roughly the same stage - 3-5 years into a save-world - and he was clearly in decline. Did well for half a season then was dramatically struggling to last until half time. The cursor is weird. That's why I thought you were on a new save, maybe on a new machine. You have to specifically go into options and turn it on/off. Maybe you've always had it and I didn't notice. I don't like it because it adds clutter to the screen.
@@GregDownsI must have turned it on but for what reason I can't think, it's more of a 2 player thing - maybe that was it, playing with mini turf one day? As for the career - yes. Newcastle for the first two seasons then sacked, Nancy since. After the opening day defeat to Lille (top of the league 9 pts from 9) I got the cut scene 'press crucifying us, laughing stock etc' - after a narrow 2-1 defeat! After beating PSG and Montpellier the odious toad came in to tell me we were surpassing all expectations. I've just finished reading Pat Nevin's book that covers his spell at Motherwell - it all rings true to such moments.
@@abbeyhilMy Rice continues to impress me. Just when you think his time is up (as his stats are so modest compared with others - he is still relatively young) he goes and shows another aspect to his game.
In a signal to their intentions the Nancy directors sanction the player swap of regen Tevez for Newcastle star Brandt. I sold Woodburn my AMF mid-season as he just tired too quickly and was very slight, but I never adequately filled the hole. Brandt might be 29 but he was hitting his peak as I was shown the door by the mags and hopefully still has a lot left to offer.
@@abbeyhilTevez has been decent for me in the past but not this regen - rarely got a decent form/fitness/mood/whatever it is nowadays arrow (does it even matter?) - and just seemed off the pace. He gave me nothing compared with Haaland, Antonio, Icardi (a new veteran free signing). That said he will have greater resale value than an ageing Brandt
Thanks both. I think given the experience I have had when going from a modest promoted side to a top club (PSG being the worst move I ever made) I am going to stay at least a season. The lower team spirit at a new club seems to wreck any good start and immediately puts pressure on you. Plus you have to start the transfers and trying to secure regens all over again. I'd like to think the Nancy board are realistic about a mid table finish. And let's be honest - I've not had any decent offers - Fulham was the best!
Great job! Mission accomplished. Ligue 1 is from the most balanced leagues in ML. If PSG is not in Robocop mod, you can see 3~4 teams fighting for the same spot.
Ha! Yes, I knew the title would be questioned. I believe it’s Newton’s second law that explains why distance on screen is always some five yards shorter than actuality…. I admit to trying to launch Rice bombs when say 2-0 up in the second half, or otherwise coasting - though most games this season have been 1-0.
Love it. At this rate Rice could have his own separate highlights channel with just great goals scored by him. I have to be a curmudgeon as you knew I would and say it was only 28, perhaps 29 yards. The shaded turf divisions are 6 yards wide each. Love that it was a different, placed sort of Rice strike though. He's got more than just the rising shot cannonball type in him. He's more than just a shooter as well - I brought him on as a sub wide on midfield last night (he needed a bench rest) and he was skinning his (admittedly knackered) fullback.
It's more how he's changed since starting in my first XI back in season 1 (I'm now in season 5). Gone is the regular cannon ball shooter who usually found the centre of the target and the keeper's gloves, and instead I have a charger through the middle - not unknown to break up a move on the edge of the box and be there at the end trying to finish it off. It's not Rice as I know him and I might have to leave the howitzers to someone else.
He's a very different Rice to the one that started the game. I think his shooting has become much more wayward (maybe me trying too hard) but his break up play and launching attacks is tremendous. I don't know if it's the high team spirit but he goes on these lung busting runs from deep CM. On paper my worst midfielder but an essential cog. He has also earned the nickname 'Il Barone' - why a French team's supporters would say that of a bloke from Norway I'm not sure.
"On paper my worst midfielder but an essential cog" - that's what Rice boils down to, and it's the lasting magic of PES individuality. Much watered-down over the years but still there. I'm currently engaged in my first real serious effort to get into Manual for everything, and in the process have made about 3 different new Default MLs on different PESes and platforms. There's a Rice in each of them of course, and so far none of the Rices are anything at all special. Not even the famous Ricing Shot (sic.) is much in evidence yet. But knowing what he turns into - a Treble winning midfielder in my main MLs - he's always playing. Just got to get him up that development curve as fast as possible. The highest I've ever seen him was 74OPR I think. 71ish is the usual. A very PES player indeed. Castledine and Arcas and perhaps Hettich are the only other Defaults I'd take with me to a Season 10 if I had to. @@Uncleturf
Giorza too surely? A Rolls Royce of a right back. Sacrilege I know but for me Rice drops to the subs bench around season 3, brought on for his tackling prowess when we need to close the game out. Can start to look a little limited when midfielders with genuine pace, touch and passing become available in my view@@GregDowns
that's exactly what I thought @@abbeyhil - that maybe he was being overtaken by others. I was wrong. Giorza is simply a season 1 cash cow for me. Immediately sold to generate funds. Arcas is the only other I'd love to hang on to but his clause always gets met. Castledine is limited to the odd great moment.
abbeyhill - I did half-forget Giorza. Agree he's immense, but never indispensable in the way others are. I, too, am more than happy to sell Giorza when his price is right. uncleturf - just seen the other Rice goal you've posted and am amazed at how similar it is to a Rice I scored today, at around 14.00 GMT. There is a Rice goal and that was one of them. The sheer thumping ferocity of them. This is one of the reasons I'm lukewarm on eFootball. The shooting there is too often weak.
After a fair while away this was my start back with Nancy. Match 6 of season 5 following two dismal seasons with Newcastle and an offer to pick up my career in France Ligue 2. I’m top of the division, my Nancy team having grown together. Most of the team are in the 72-76 bracket, with Haaland the exception. 21 Haaland is not quite 23 Haaland but he’s still too good for this level.
Hmm, just wondering if I’ve seen it in England - I’ll check my videos as I’m sure I have. Won again today, only had time for one match, they didn’t manage a shot. I’m not going to say invincible was there is a team shadowing me very closely but I should be promoted at an absolute canter@@GregDowns
it happens in all leagues - you can sometimes initiate it by running your striker behind the goal after scoring. I always love the way the last guy in the line runs out of ideas for his celebration and just stares the camera out
That might be it as I never do anything with my players after scoring. I don't initiate any kind of celebration or control. Been that way since they first introduced player-controlled celebration types (the shush gesture and so on) in whatever edition of PES it was. Tried it in the demo (PES2016? total guess) and never since. When I score I either press Start to skip the celebration or just watch whatever plays automatically if it's a big goal. I like that one where you score a 92nd minute winner and they all dive on each other/jump into the crowd etc. @@abbeyhil
