So PES 5 is fun, save the serious issues with passing and switching controls (from which we, keyboard users, suffer more than the controller users do), but one thing I don't get is:
How the hell do you get the players you are NOT currently controlling to move? Obviously, in offense this comes off as no prob. But in defense, this is a nightmare. I basically have to be pressing down the pressure 2 button (D for me) the entire time, but then that has its drawbacks as my already crappy defenders (Stein - Valeny - Jaric) all go bunch up on one guy. Otherwise, if one man (the one I am controlling) is running to a ball (to intercept or to tackle, etc), nobody else, no matter how close to the ball ever moves.
The most recent game I played, which, thankfully, did not move me from my first place in division 2, went something like this: Being first, i was playing the second team in the league. Obviously, important match. So after missing a dozen of my good chances (I hate Podolski), I finally scored off a header from a corner kick, making it 1-0. I wasted another dozen or so chances (once again, mostly Podolski) until on the 70th minute, my opponent was awarded a corner kick. Note that previously to this incident, the opponent had TWO shots, only one of which was, in fact, dangerous.
So being the awesome keeper that Ivarov is, he missed the ball coming out to punch it out and it came to the opponent forward, who headed it towards the goal. The ball bounced TWICE on the ground and, since I was at the time controlling the player at the left post and the ball was at the right, and the switching system sucks, everybody just kinda stood around and watched it go in to make it 1-1 and steal valuable 2 points from my team. Now, there were about 3-4 players in the box who could have EASILY ran up and kicked the ball out in real life. But instead, they just stood around and then as soon as it went in did the amazingly frustrating put-my-hands-on-my-head-and-pretend-I-don't-suck move, which never ceases to piss me off.
Aidez-moi, s'il vous plait? How the hell do I fix this???
Also, if anybody has got any clue on how to beat teams with Minanda and co on difficulties above 3 stars, please give me a hint. I am frustrated by playing 3 stars when I played PES 4 at 6 stars with unbelievable ease.

). I also got some cheap forwards who don't miss as much as Castolo and the gang (Kerzhakov from Russia and Podolski, again from Germany). Plus I got this random swedish guy who's very fricking good and relatively cheap.
