Hey everyone,
With PES 5 coming out, i've suddenly become re-addicted to PES 4. But i have some questions that have always bothered me.
I like to use the fixed cursor and play centre forward for the entire match, usually with one striker playing in front of me so i can act in a more creative role but also dribble, make runs, take shots, etc. I defend on corners and whenever i feel i need to, but generally i'm always looking for opportunities to put my strike partner in for a scoring chance and counter attacks.
Anyway, my question: How do i (tactically) make my team play more a long-ball style of game?
In my master league game at the moment, the other striker i'm partnered with is very tall and very good in the air, and every once in a while my team will cross it into him, he'll knock it down in my direction, and i'll get a great scoring chance. This only happpens once in a while, and seemingly by accident. I want my team to be LOOKING for that type of play...do you know what i mean? Generally i want my midfielders and defenders to be looking to try to play a long ball in the direction of the bigger striker (or my direction since i can then create for the bigger striker myself), but i can't find anything tactically to make them think that way...they pretty much just dribble around and pass along the ground, which is annoying when we have such a great target man in the box.
I know i could just request a pass, but then the pass will go to me, and i want the midfielders to pass to my strike partner instead since he is much better in the air. Is there any way i can use tactics to make my team use more long balls? And specifically, can i get my teammates to target a specific player (my strike partner) when putting the ball in the air?
