One distinctive feature of the 2013 PES than FIFA 13 is the degree of freedom in determining the strategy or tactics in a match. Understanding the tactics / team tactics that we use, and also used the opposing team, could be the main factor that determines the winner of the game.
Formations are very good and effective,and anyone of you can adjust sliders..
Here are explanation what slider is for what:
Sliders Explanation:
Player support
So this basically this dictates how teammates move around the ball
carrier, so it's correct in it's called player support, where it's
confusing is offensive and defensive.
- Values 0-6, what they do is make players provide options sideways and
many backwards 'safe options' to the ball carrier. So with Barca for
example, this is set to 0, so it makes Barca play a lot of safe,
backwards, sideways passes, So overall it means, 'slow orientated build
up'.
- Values 7-13 (balanced) Just means teams will attack normally and player
on the ball as standard look for options ahead of them unless the player
isn't in clear space, teammates won't always run ahead of the ball
carrier.
- Values 14-20 means fast attacking, team mates always look to get ahead
of the ball carrier and the team is encourages to look only for forward
passes!
Support Range
Support range shows how close the players stay to around the ball carrier
- Values 0-6 mean the players keep close together, (Barcelona Arsenal) it's useful for short passing game, tiki taka etc..
-
Values 14-20 means players spread away from the ball carrier, this is useful for teams that counter
Position Switch
Position switch dictate how much freedom players have to temporarily
play in different designated positions or switch places with players in
similar positions.
- Values 0-6 means player rarley if ever switch positions (tactically disciplined)
-
Values 7-13 means players will now and gain switch with players in a similar
position, so for example the left central midfielder and right central
midfielder or two strikers will change the sides they are playing, same
with centre backs even.
- Values 14-20 is similar to that above but If a player finds himself out of
postion he will then take up the nearest position designated for a
while, the drop back to his designated position.
So for example i'm center back charges forward, if he ends up in
midfield he will stay there for a bit, then move back, same with striker
coming back to defend. It's built to give you the option to give your
players the choice to swap around a bit in bid to confuse the opposition
and say if a center back is getting the better of a striker, maybe swap
for a secound with a winger and see if it confuses him.
Attacking Style
Attacking style is quite important for player runs and general player movement when attacking.
- Values 0-6 means players will drift and congregate out in wide positions to support he ball carrier in making attacking moves out wide
- Values 7-13 (balanced) players will maintain their shape
-
Values 14-20 players will congregate more in the middle, and wide men for example will come inside to offer support through the middle.
Pressing
Pressing is both how intense your team presses the oppositions ball carrier and also i've noticed a zonal element to this.
- Values 0-6 (loose) makes players stand off the ball carrier and the player will
focus much more and working with his teammates as a unit.
- Values 7-13 players, won't actively close down the opposition, they will tend
to hod shape unless the opposing ball carrier enter is, well 'zone'
(Zonal marking) Maybe.
-
Values 14-20 tight players will actively close down the opposition, 14-20
dictates how intense they move out of their formations shape to meet the
ball carrier
Defensive Line
Self explanatory really
Compactiviness
This dictates how closely compacted your team is when closing in around the ball carrier
- Values 0-6 The team forms up as a unit very tightly in the center of the pitch
- Values 14-20 The team spreads out around the ball carrier.
Finally you should now that: 0-6 and 14-20 dictate how extreme you want
your team style to be for each parameter so 14 is say relatively far
from the ball carrier and 20 is very far etc..
7-13 Dictates you wan a balance but with a slight favor towards a
parameter. So 7 or 8 would mean your players your players would move
slightly out wide, and say 11 12 would make them move slightly towards
the middle etc..
