I had a 2-1 win over Chelsea where the second half was really close. But other times I just found some games too easy. Like when I won against Man Utd 3-0. I had my biggest win on 6 stars and that was against Bolton 5-1.
Sorry, i didn't mean to brag. I do not think I'm that great at this game but just thought playing on those harder difficulties was too easy. I thought it was a problem with the game. But it seems like I must have improved or something because not everyone finds it easy. Maybe I'm just in very good form and I'll come crashing back to earth sometime soon.
And playing with top quality players helps my cause. I will start master league right now with the made up players and I'm sure that will be a challenge. In fact now I think back on PES3 it was probably the master league that I thought was really hard. Maybe (hopefully) pes4 will be the same.
EDIT: I never claimed to be a great or phenomenal player, I'm just stating the facts. The simple fact is that I win consistently on 6 stars. I am not lying but if you think I'm talking crap then that's fine.
If you really want some tips from me... basically I play very patiently and keep it very simple. I hardly use any feints but utilise the different sprint buttons. I find if you want to get past a defender just running one way then 180 degrees the other way fools them a lot. I tend to finish things simply, just a tap of the shoot button. Mostly I just pass it around and keep possesion until I can almost walk the ball into the net. Through balls are very effective and if you pass the ball around from wing to wing you can often find an opening for a through ball. If all the players are marked just draw players towards the player in possesion and then pass it off. I use lots of short passes and find its successful against the CPU. Its just my style of playing and nothing special. I just works for me at the moment.
Anyway, off to play master league. Let's hope I start getting thrashed 5-0 each game...
Sorry if it seemed like I was accusating you for lying...
When I said I do not belive people who claim they win 9-1 or 7-0 on six stars I meant it...but I was non responding to your post but to another guy here who claimed that he win every game on sex stars like 7-0....I honestly still think scoring so many goals in a ten minutes game on six stars is IMPOSSIBLE..at least until I see it with my own eyes...
By the way, thank you for the tips..but honestly I cannot belive that you are doing so well even at six stars playing just simple and almost without using any feints: I have spent days, weeks and even months to lear all the basic skills and all the feints, and then I have to hear that to win on six stars I do not even need them!!!???
...and knowing how hard it is to break through the opponents defences, I doubt that it is possible to break through them without using any feints...because if you do not make feints, the defenders will easily just take the ball from you...and I talk from my own experience.....
But I still think PES4 is a difficult game....I win most games on three stars, but mostly 1-0, 2-0, 2-1 or maximum 3-0....but also make a lot of draws...and a few defeats....(last season: 15 victories, 11 draws and 4 defeats)
Yesterday I started at new season on four stars. I played six games with Juventus, and I honestly found it very hard. Here are the results:
JUVENTUS-BRESCIA 1-1, SIENA-JUVENTUS 0-0, SAMPDORIA-JUVENTUS 3-1, JUVENTUS-CHIEVO 1-0, FIORENTINA-JUVENTUS 0-1, JUVENTUS-REGGINA 1-0...
As you can see, I have a very hard time on four stars...all right, it is not that bad: I only lost one out of six games...but still I only scored five goals in all...so for me it is just IMPOSSIBLE to belive that it should be possiblie to win like 9-1 on six stars.....I consider myself a decent player, and even that I know I am not among the best....well, I still do not think that I am so bad that someone shold score 7-8 goals more than me in only ten minutes..at least until I see it with my own eyes...
EDIT: I have now played my first game on six stars..and to be honest, I had expected a greater challange: I played with Lazio against Bayern München and I only lost 1-0...and I even hit the post and missed another oppurtunity one to one with the goalkeeper, so with a little luck I could have drawn...
So even that I still not agree that PES 4 is an easy game...al right, I can agree so far that the difference between level 3-4-5-6 is not that big....while the difference between level 2 and level 3 is HUGE...so I agree that there shold be a bigger difference between the different levels....
