Damn they gotta fix autochanging of players in online before I get nuts!

I want to play with manual! ****

Against some persons who got a special tactic I let in 2-3 goals per game, that ****s up everything when I want to keep a clean sheet.

DAMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

go to the match mode set it as manual, exit the match mode it will save your settings in option file. next time you play online it will be manual if you saved it as manual, the same with camera view or any other settings

Errr...i have played several games in online mode and manual switching works fine. I don't know what your problem is with this. It works as Dreamer says. My camera was off when i first played, as i played online before I played against the CPU, but when I had changed it for offline play, it was as it should be for online.

Yeah my camrea is right but the auto change of players doesn't. I have manual in offline but when I play online it's autochanging again.

Autoswitch at online is getting ridiculous.
Even in the game when I locked up manual player’s switching, game still force me to pick up player at cpu taste. In online mode this feature is completely idiotic and frustrating.
Next patch must fix auto change in online.

ummmm, i always play in manual mode so this is saved into my profile, yet when i go online, suddenly it is auto-switching

oooh, hurrrah, just about to clear the ball off my goaline when the game decides it's a good time to switch control to my centre forward standing 5 f*cking miles away....

the on-line mode is utterly pathetic...it's like they bashed some basic code together in an afternoon and said "yeah, that's good enough"....

....the lag is laughable on a 512k connection - i press the shoot button and 3 months later, the player swings his f*cking leg....it's like a frigging time warp back to 1984 computer technoolgy....

net-code = 0 out of 10...they tried...they failed

Guys who are having trouble with this, clearly you are not doing something right. It is not a problem with the game. We all have the same game here, and manual switching DOES work! There will be no patch to fix it, as there is nothing to fix.

Alright dude, if that's the case then a bunch of us are obviously doing something wrong. I've had Manual switching set in my profile since I first played the game; it's saved in the option file info, yet I've never had manual switching when playing online. Maybe there's some lucky thing you did that set it, but most of us have not been able to pull it off.

What about other settings like lineups. I can change and save those in regular mode, but they don't seem to carry over to online mode either. Am I missing something?

kibble,

are you sure you have full "manual ONLY" switching. On auto-switching, you can still manually switch to another player, but the program will also inconveniently switch for you too. Full manual switching should prevent the program from ever auto-switching....this is not happening on-line for me.


GCAGORA,

i think line-ups, etc will be reset to default for on-line play - this is to prevent people doing things like editing players stats to be much higher and getting up to other high-jinx

Ah, ok, perhaps that's the case. However, I have my offline game settings set to manual, and when I play online I didn't notice anything different. You could be right, but as i say, I didn't experience any kind of auto switiching that made the game more difficult for me. Maybe I'm just a crap player though?!:confused:

Sometimes I can see the cursor suddenly switching , dont mind it tho because switching myself happens in a split-second. btw , open league mode, load your formation, u can also use it in online mode afterwards than :)

I noticed that even on manual in off-line games the cursor changes automatically sometimes, usually when the CPU gives a long pass.

Unfortunately on-line it does it with any kind of pass.

I really don't understand the logic of programming behind this. The on-line auto-switch is clearly a bug that should be fixed. I label it under bad programming. But the off-line switch is just bad decision making. If you have a slider for manual/auto pass with about 10 different settings on it, then you make the manual completely manual! Right?!!?

I think it's the same kind of flaw as defenders who sometimes make decisions for you, like clearing the ball in hazardous situations. It was there in PES3 and it's still in PES4. For me that's just plain wrong for 2 reasons. First, If I don't clear the ball and the opponents scores as a consequence then I deserved that, because I didn't play very well. I don't want a helping hand. Second, often clearing the ball just isn't the best way. A simple pass to a defender near the side line is much better!
