Draw back your defensive line, too forward he will counter u from midfield

I was ps2 gamer also before i promote to ps3 in early 2019 pes 2018 .

my ps2 style is also based on possession game.

i try to play this in ps3 but i was only able to gain possession in my half . I find it hard to create any chance .

i was using barcelona then.
the only luck i had is that i was playing with gurus
they told me to change my team to smaller team . I choose ajax
i was taught how to create chances using L1+x
i was later good at Creating chances and scoring .
i can score alot but can't defend well .
i learn how to defend by watching others defending
Later i choose couter pressing style of defending (almost like gegenpress) but this is manual pressing ie i close opponent down by immediately marking his player when he receive pass.

immediately i see his pass bar i will quickly press L1 so that computer will change cursor the nearest player to his player that will receive the pass

this work well for me against possession gamers but failed against couter gamers

I later move to shadow marking and teammate press which am still usin till now .
i played as intermilan, ajax, mancity, germany, arsenal, netherland, psg, lyon, monaco, dortmund, shalke, and lot more.

whenever i use big team like barcelona i remove the likes of messi suarez, pique. So that they won't be giving me impression that i have big players on the field
i also make use of random teams.

by now am now a guru on my own.
if opponent play tiki taka he is in trouble because why won't i be able to mark my playing style . With the combination of manual pressing and shadow marking he will just keep forcing the ball.

i play both counter and possession.
if opponent play possessio ,i play possession
if he play counter i play counter

These are some of the methods i use in creating chances .
1. when i play L1 + X pass with one player like 30 yard away from your goal , i keep passing to other players in the center without passing to that player until he almost run past your defence line then i will L1+ triangle pass to him. The purpose of other passes is to draw your atention away from him

2. I do this with 3 strikers and 1 attacking midfielder :-
when my attacking midfielder receive pass, i play pass to my striker at the center , L1+X back to my AMF , then L1+R3 to my striker at one side .
the one i will play through pass to depend on the the one he follows if he follow the one at the center i will play it to the one at the side .

3. exchange L1+X between players around your box 18 . When i have 2-3 players running toward your goal you won't be able to Predict the one i will pass to.

4. When am dribbling from wide to centre just outside your box 18, instead of curl shot i will just do L1 +X to my player at the center then press up through pass before the ball reach him

Try 3 - 3 - 1 - 3

Yes.

Like me I learn the hard way. PES 2013 was the game i use in learning. Due to low system specs i can only play exhibition and champions league without formation setup. PSG was my team back then so i just start the league select psg and top player difficulty and started playing. I was thinking it to be like ps2 run and shoot but from this perspertive life is hard.

So i have to adapt to their possessive game style, learn through passes, tiki taka, how to place ball, shoot with less power for better accuracy, learn to pass the ball till i get to the othe goal post and other stuffs. Sometimes[b] i get fustrated because i hardly gain possession, [/b]that is, they always pass the ball around. I even went ahead to edit settings and edit PSG team to be strong so that i can stand a change yet i still learn the hard way.

@bolded I get frustrated alot sometimes I quit like today I chose arsenal and played against Barcelona they won 5-0 at first then 1-0 the third game I had to quit it

Hongkongfukid:

1. Press box to always pressurize him with your team mate while using the one you are controling to block his passing lane

2. When you loose the ball make sure your fowards is your first line of defence ie draw them back to mark

3. Have it in mind that no matter what he does he is still coming to the middle of your box ie when he is attacking from the wing, he will still back to the middle

4. Use middle as your containment area

5. Compact your players

6. Do not draw out your defenders to mark

7. No matter what make sure your defender do not come out to mark Unless he is close (closest) to your box 18

8. when you see his teamate trying to run past your defense use the player closest to follow him while you use your teammate to apply pressure on him

9. use all out defence in your defensive instruction

Thanks but no matter I chose not to let them come out, they still do by themselves

Dont get frustrated when barca beat u. Maybe you have not played against smaller annoying team.

Ferrocene:

that's because you have little support in the midfield with 4-2-4 formation

Ferrocene:

do not play deep defence line with them and also increase the number in your mildfield.

oga na you think so
except wide formation formation i use this well against any formation the based it's attack on middle.
it is very aggressive

anywhere I see a 3 midfield and 3 defense line no matter how good you are.

you're going pay big time

those my wicked sublime passes and marauding runs

I'll hurt any 3 defense any day

except it's 3-5-2 but I can still butcher that with small tweaking

why would i waste 4 defenders on 2 strikers. it is just midfield battle between us

this is where you're wrong my friend when in possession my formation is 3-2-5

when not in possession 4-5-1 or 4-4-2 diamond if the person has fast wingers like PSG

when. not in possession 5-4-1

if he has great midfield bayern/Madrid 3-4-3 + explosiveness when you win the ball back

I have backup for everything only after first game I'll know how to weigh down any opponent
