That said, why don't they just add an extra check box, when DLing a Live Update, where you can decide whether you update team tactics? One of the best things about the option files of yore was the carefully edited tactics, which have been completely negated the past few years.
Just doesn't make sense to me.
It appears they have. Fingers crossed.

You possibly need to click into the policy terms and/or scroll to the bottom of them, in the pretence that you've read them, which then triggers the enablement of the option to click "accept".
Time for a glass of wine.
Does this matter for offline play?

Nice ! Can't wait to play it myself in the evening

The goalies come out and challenge the player quite well and I've seen a few good saves like that.
Headers are better now and feel easier to connect and target the net as well as clearing the ball.
AI players will actually keep running on breakaways and even score!
I'm sure there is a few more things I haven't really noticed yet but overall it feels good.
Ive not played PES since my fav soccer game PES5 and 6. It was mostly fifa since then but this year PES plays so well, the animations, motion etc. feels so natural compared to the robotic and now slightly cartoony fifa.
Other than that glitch, I'm liking the gameplay changes. I'm back to playing on Top Player and having it be a fun challenge.
I tried the new gameplay for 3-4 master league games and YES guys, good news! The PES that we all know is back !!!
The way CPU attacks is completely normal now. They go direct to the goal, no more low cross non-sense.
Offensively the crosses are better for user team, you can score more often by timely crosses now (Finally)
Goalkeepers go off their line more often to narrow the goal angle.
Strikers shoot the ball more often when they have the chance, they don't play with the ball.
Off-ball player movement is slightly better in terms of cpu team-mates going to the space instead of waiting on their position, constantly moving.
Refs. do not allow CPU clipping user controlled players and getting away without a foul. Now they are called as foul !
Refs. go back to the foul when you go to a disadvantaged position after your teammate gets fouled. In the past you had to lose the ball for ref. to go back and call the foul. This time if you don't move forward with it or in a disadvantaged position, ref. calls the foul even after 2-3 seconds after the foul occured
Side Note: Transfers in ML is still broken. Still easier to convince high level players to play for your team. Marco Asensio and Lucas Moura to Fenerbahce. 3,5 star team.... I got them for 24 mil. euros and 28 mil. euros. It would never happen in rl. Asensio and Moura at high level won't even sniff Turkish league. After 30+ years old- maybe.
Let's enjoy the game

With all the RDR2 hype I haven't had the opportunity to actually try out the patch. I'm going to start a new Master League later tonight. I'm excited.
Weird. I must have loaded an option file before checking that roster earlier on. I wonder what the deal with that team is.
The opposite for me. RDR2 was sitting there waiting for me but I went with patch update. Will try RDR2 on the weekend, lol
after every goal takes a miracle to stop them scoring...
just went up 3-2 in the 86th minute.. set the team to defensive.
I clear the ball for a goal kick. their keeper kicked it halfway down the pitch to their left winger, he one touches a through ball to an open striker for a thunderbolt in the top corner lmaoo such bull****
scripting is unreal
at least the AI attack in different ways.. but yeah, every game is a goal fest. if you score they score.
It certainly addresses a few issues and makes the game more enjoyable.
After playing the pre-patch version for a while and then FIFA 19 for a month, I have come to the conclusion that the only way to enjoy and be successful at this game is to exert patience and learn good positioning. Instead of tackling with your defenders, I now play positional football with my midfielders and only tackle with my midfielders and leave the defenders for the AI to control.
If you position your defence correctly, put the defender (or midfielder) between striker and goal and not rush into challenges then you have a chance. However if you take control of your CB with the aim to put pressure, more often than not the CPU will burn you and play a one-two or simply pivot around your man.
I actually decided to switch to the "fan" camera which is really zoomed out with the objective to get a better view of the pitch. This aids playing positional football and getting a better understanding of which player to control. Using this camera I was able to score quire a few gaols and win quite a few games, purely because I was able to close the spaces and clog the passing lanes better.
I also decided to use full manual controls as even Level 1 assistance was too assisted and the passes were all to feet, whereas now I can pass into space. To compensate, I lowered the difficulty level to Professional. This combination seems to be working well for me right now. In my last game Napoli (me) vs. Roma (CPU), the stats were completely balanced, with a good number of shots on goals, interceptions and pass completion %. In a 20 minute game there were 10 shots each (5 on target each), with 280 passes made.
Of course it's not all good. Counter attacks are still mostly frustrating. I can't understand why my forwards lack a sense of urgency and speed when I am on the break. They just jog and some of them even stay back.
The other point of frustration is how sometimes the CPU will score a goal no matter how well I am positioned and no matter what I do. It's just a bit unrealistic to see that they get possession of the ball even though my defender is right there to intercept the ball.
But overall a good patch, which makes this a better game for sure.

I overreacted... the game is amazing lol
I’m so happy with this year’s game. Playing full manual, it’s just so organic. I have to play at least 12 min games because the build up play is so realistic and methodical, It’s hard to create chances playing 5-10 min games.

You didn't man, you are kind of right. I felt the same yesterday.
I made positive comments about how the game was fixed after the patch when i played it 3-4 games but in the long-run on the weekend I can safely say the game is better but not great, there are still problems:
1-AI doesn't religiously go for wing organization and low crosses but they try it every single game no matter what.
2-I can't understand how AI doesn't shoot from the cross angle 1 on 1 with the keeper but wait for late comer to turn around and play the low cross to him for a better goal. This thing only happen in very TOP teams and in very special teams like Spain National Team between 2008-2012 etc... The regular Brazilian team or Turkish team playing with inferior players are using the same strategy .... This is absurd.
3-Low crosses sometimes are unpreventable, even if you are first to the ball, you press the button first as your defender, the attacker ignores your move, gets the first touch and goal.
4-Defending is a frustration in this game. I really like Pes 2017 and 2018 a lot but defending makes me like this game less. You have to press less and wait for opponent to come to you in your halfway, otherwise your defenders will instantly lose position and AI will make you pay. It's like automatic cheat code.
5-Long shots are not parried enough by goalkeepers, they hold on to the ball without bouncing it off. Hard shots just outside the area going to the corner are 95 % bounced off with saves by keepers, not held onto them in real football
Last important note for players in ML:
*I have 2 saves, one with 2nd year with Sao Paulo, the other one just 10 games into the season with Fenerbahce in Turkish League. I play the same formation, player ratings are about the same but I play much more fluid with Sao Paulo as CPU team-mates make clever runs offensively when you have the ball and CPU team-mates cover the ground much better defensively when opponent has the ball. So have patience. In ML, the game wants you to lose first, struggle and then become a good team if you can...

yeah I agree with your post..
the keepers having velcro on their hands and holding onto thunderbolts from outside the box is kinda annoying...
and the main problem I have is defending too. my team AI is terrible.
Other than that glitch, I'm liking the gameplay changes. I'm back to playing on Top Player and having it be a fun challenge.
Go to international teams on edit mode and you can import all the correct players on there.Bit of a pain but you will get there in the end.
It just happens every once in awhile for me, but I'm on PS4 Pro and I never have any issues with any other games, so it's hard for me to believe it's my console causing the problem. Just curious, thanks in advance.
