Gaming Tips Required

[g2bam]

Hi All!

I am a very experienced computer footy player having started away back in 1984 with 'International Soccer' for CBM64.

Yep that's right 38k of available memory and it was running a fully featured football game Albeit it was a cartridge so the whole game then would have been about 250k hard burned into the chips in that.

Anyway, since then I graduated to the marvellous KO II on Amiga which I played for years, then SWOS, then FIFA95 on Mega Drive, the FIFA series from 97 to the latest 2003 on PC, all mixed in with ISS and some FIFA's on the PS2.

I didn't really bother with PES last year as I was liking ISS and felt the lack of editability etc was a detraction for me.

However, I have always appreciated good gameplay, so the FIFA's never lasted more than a month, b4 being premanently assigned to their CD cases forever, and so it was back to ISS mostly for me.

Now I have PES2, I have done the edits I am happy with and now I have started a new ML.

This gameplay ROCKS like mad, I considered ISS to be a phenomenal game that's why its taken me so long to move over to PES!

PES2 is something else, everyday I discover more to the game, more to the playing style etc.

I have to admit though that I am not seasoned player at it yet but would like to take the level up a little as I am winning easy on the current level [I have only had the game 4 days ]

I find though that going up one level means the style I was using previously was having not much use at the higher level and I am losing most games.

Have any of you experts in here got any tips or hints, like recommended formations, tactics etc that will help me up the levels ladder a bit?

In the mean time, I shall have to go and play it again, even though I should be doing my work and taking care of my commitments :P

I look forward to hearing from any of you who want to help a desperate old footy player to beat some smart assed AI team that thinks its better than me

for a very offensive formation, try using
3-1-3-3
3 defenders
1 defensive midfield (to help defenders) cauz 3 is easy to pass
3 midfielders (2 wings and 1 offensive)
3 strikers

thats what i use, i never score less than 3 goals

You're lying, unless you play on either 30mins or 3 (or less) stars every time.

G2Bam:
Tell us about your team (if you have one) and the style you play now.

tip 1) since you've been playing FIFA, don't mash the buttons.

Hi Again,

I haven't got a full list of my team to hand right now, but I probably not been buying the right guys anyway!

I have been playing on easy level and have a 'reasonable' strength team.

The tactics I have been using are 3-5-2 and 5-3-2 but I do more than OK at easy level and am currently set at the top of Div 2 in the 2nd season.

Funny thing is, like ISS, I can take the bog standard teams in friendlies at 3 stars and win, so I guess easy at ML is the equivalent of two stars in these games coz my results are similiar i.e. I don't lose, but get a good few draws.

However, as I say, I move up to normal and nearly every match ends 0-0 so although I seem to be able to defend, I can play forever and not get a goal.

I don't know enough of the game yet I suppose, probably I have the wrong team and not good enough players for normal in Div 2?

Oh and also, in the manual it says press L1 & L2 R1 &2 etc for special moves, and nothing happens when I press these!

I can only do the usual, pass, lob, shoot and sprint!

Any tips would of course be most welcomed.

Thanks guys.

Yes you do that. One game's result will concretely prove that you do it every time.

Ironstuff? oh, my display name is Irony man, that makes sense; good one.

If you weren't a newb you might have some idea that I'm no slouch at this game.

Read my post again, consider whether you score 3+ goals with that formation every time, then come talk to me.


g2bam: don't have time right now to respond. Felt more compelled to make this response instead.

Read some faqs in www.gamefaqs.com

Try every move and tricks in the training mode.

keep passing as much as u can.

Try not to lose the ball and keep doing the 1-2s alot

understand all the states and special abilities for ur players like passing, speed, shot power,..etc. Buy any promising player and then go to the training section and press SELECT to get a very good explanation for every single state and special abilitis.

Dont Run, just keep passing, and run when there is alot of spaces.

You have to learn how to dribble, and how to shoot ,so keep practicing ..practicing is the key
