Official Site Tips
It’s the time of year for giving, and the official PES 2012 site has posted a few tips on the game.
Click here to get tips on passing, one touch football and use of full backs.
Seems a bit, well, pretentious. Explaining the basics core of the game perhaps shows a lack of understanding of the fanbase. Maybe something more useful like a training mode guide would have been better. Maybe next time.
Just saying.

I think a shooting tutorial would of been preferable.

Can’t blame Konami for trying!
I have posted some of my long range goals/R2 assisted goals here;

After reading the first two tips I was surprised tip no. 3 wasn’t explaining the shape of a ball and how to get the ball moving.

I can’t believe Jon Murphy let this crap go live

Hey everyone! – not making any promises – but i MAY be on to something here!
Nizam mentioned above that he has “all shooting assistance turned off” so I decided to have a look at my settings and changed one thing:
I changed my TEAMMATE CONTROLS from ASSISTED to MANUAL
- this may be the answer to our shooting problem!
Maybe I am imagining this and it is early days of my testing but my shooting appears to go a lot more often in the direction of my intended input!
Nizam is the person who from the evidence based on his videos appears to have the most comfort with long range shooting – and i believe he has said he will help us by conducting some shooting tests in free training mode.
1. Id like to know how you find the shooting with a diagnal input(forward + up) or (forward + down)
2. Id like to know how you find the shooting with a straight up or down input
3. Id like to know if you find any difference by combining shooting with L2 – I think there seems to be an effect
These tests should make a difference and we may even discover various hidden control inputs that are not listed in the manual or explained in training!
We need to ask konami to start providing online official tutorials to help teach us more how to play the game that they make for us – this isnt mortal kombat where the joy of that game is about discovering secret death moves – in pes everyone wants to improve at football gaming and have knowledge of all the controls so that they enjoy the game more!
Just so you all know – I blog my opinions for the benefit of other PES players and would be more than happy to be more directly involved with the people in charge of this website or even Konami
JonRyo says:
lol. Seriously? This is a little bit redundant considering that if not the whole then the vast majority of the fanbase will have at least basic knowledge of football and tactics and player positions and roles and how they work in a game.
HoB says:
Think patronising was the word you meant rather than pretentious. It’s certainly patronising.
And surely if it’s the official PES 2012 guide they could’ve used a straight line tool for those arrows?!
Bueli says:
LOL – these hints must be for someone who has seen a soccergame first time in his short life.
LMAO
Nizam says:
Patronising indeed. KONAMI may be trying to help but they are going about it the wrong way.
If you want to see the long range goals I posted, it’s all here;

Fair play, patronising would have been better.
Either way, not a great move by the facebook team.

Hello again guys – I have been doing more tests on shooting in training mode. What I have found that works best is to say dribble or take a run up etc then –
1.Hold L2 / LT plus a diagonal forward direction towards goal as I power up my shot.
2. Then quickly before my player strikes the ball – i release L2 / LT and MOVE my direction FROM diagonal forward TO straight up or down.
Timing appears to be crucial – but i am improving my consistency at long range shooting – hope this helps others.
One thing that is for sure – there are only really 2 possible situations going on here –
Either
1. In this years PES, a different shooting algorithm has been programmed – requiring a new secret technique or command input depending on the angle of the player and the distance (becuase this is clearly not in the command list or instruction manual – and not in previous editons of PES – no one has ever complained this much!)
In which case – konami should be providing us with a shooting tutorial becuase many of us are rather frustrated!
OR
2. It is a fault or unfair inconsistency that needs fixing.
To be honest – I am sat on the fance about this one –
BUT I have noticed some strange shooting outcomes when I failed to shoot the ball to the left or right – several times when it travelled straight towards the middle of the goal – the keeper failed to save the shot because he dived in the direction i originally tried to shoot the ball to!
What I mean is – it seemed like an animation error becuase the game was reading that i tried to shoot right so the keeper dived to the right – but the flight of the ball screwed up and went directly straight into the goal
Is this an animation error proving that shooting needs to be fixed or is it another strange algorithm designed to add more variety and unpredicatbility to the game?
