PES 2021 | ⚽ Defend Like A Pro - 5 Tips

[@Swalexbass]

Great tutorial. But in offline mode when the AI goes into cheating mode, it will nerf all your players' skills while boosting theirs, cause your players to become disoriented and drift out into unwanted positions, and even dematerialize their body parts to go through you.

[@tomkat69pc]

when the AI goes into cheating mode all your team members turn into crazy headless chickens turning completely dumb, making crazy runs and give invitation to the opposing team .. .

Still really struggling with the defending after a couple of minutes I find myself just randomly switching player and chasing the ball then my head just goes and can't read the game, can't seem to get a consistent way to defend and read the game properly 😩

[@tzmakis]

I've been playing for years using arrows and not the analog. everytime I switch to a player and try to move him to any direction he changes before he goes where I want and I always lose my defender

[@jj007104]

just want to say I just started playing this after years of contemplating it but stuck it out with Fifa but finally after draining money in Fifa 20 and 21 I just couldn't take it anymore I tried this and OMG what have I been doing with my life...Fifa is an arcade game, this is real soccer in a video game...PES isn't as polished or pretty but once you get it that actually makes it even more enjoyable, real life isn't as polished looking as fantasy and this game plays so close to real life...and there's definitely a good and fun learning curve for people who came from Fifa, you can't just run all over the place here, you have to think about everything you do and every little thing has so many possible outcomes, not just a bunch of repeats like Fifa...I love this game

[@thejudderman8265]

I’ve just literally downloaded it 10 mins ago and played a game whilst it finished installing and I completely agree! I’ve been playing fifa for about 15 years and this feels a lot more realistic, I got smashed 6-0 but it was so much more fun to play than fifa

[@riksnoek6068]

@@thejudderman8265 The thing is. I used to play PES before I switched to FIFA in 2012. But returned to PES 2019. Never play it like FIFA that's what I've learned. And scoring a goal feels as like an accomplishment

[@aidinsaberi6833]

Good job

[@lladerat]

What i do is .. if an opposing player running towards my goal and im chasing him i would usually use a defender on teammate pressure, while i continue running towards the zone where my defender was to close it down, i already at max speed so even if the through ball comes i will intercept it. I use it most of the time, i almost never pressure directly, i use the second player to do it for me while i go back and stay in his position, that way i have more control over defence and somehow its more effective than directly pressuring. The timing is crucial though, but it comes with practice.

[@mood.989]

This is ridiculous Only in practice can you do these things But in playing against an opponent You can't do any of these things And getting the ball becomes very bad, you can't take the ball from the opponent The response is slow and the players stop suddenly stupid move I played all versions The worst version is 21 Bad ball picking Online you can't play

[@yoratama3051]

I already tried this, it's only not working when above superstar level+Derby/final. In final/derby i can't even cut the pass, they still pass through my player, doing body shoudler and my player the one that fall down lol Edit : The buffed opponents is no problem, but the scripted play still annoying like they previous game.

[@aressimbamt0959]

cutting the pas lane is nearly inposible in this game my friend if youbplay pes you know this and way is that

[@crokjustice]

I have a question about cutting pass lanes. In 9 out of 10 times when I am cutting the opponents pass the ball just goes through my player or goes 0,5 metres from my player but my player doesnt strech the leg he just watches the ball or crazy rebound happens which always ends in opponents legs. I am asking for advice how I can make my player just take the ball when I am cutting opponents pass. This things happened to often and I have given up cutting passes because of these things

[@Indominator94]

Try to hold the X button (PS4) so that the player will run automatically to the ball. If it's not working, try to hold the ''Super cancel'' button (R1+R2) and then manual walk to the ball and release it just as the ball is near to your player his feet.

[@adedayoalliu5268]

I guess it is part of the scripting to make the AI take control and invalidate your team. It happens a lot and it's quite infuriating.

[@unknwn_usr3077]

[@richardomorrison7452]

Listen, I hear all that you are saying, but, when I play on line NONE OF THAT WORKS!!!! I get so frustrated I smashed my f#^#*ing controller into the wall, I swear. My players don't rush in and close down when when I hold R1+X nor when I hold R1+O (I use O for teammate press). Opponents rush in and and close me down as soon as the ball reaches my feet or better yet they intercept before I even get the ball. I cannot get my player to do that no matter how hard I try. No matter what they do. No I just do nothing, I just wait and hope the opponent will make a bad pass and I will get the free ball. I need help. Can you help me?

[@thaibao9062]

[@falzate75]

You have a new subscriber. Excellent tutorial. Simple and effective and it applies perfectly to efootball 2023. It is very difficult for me to correctly position my player to cut the passing lane because the receiver of the pass is moving. Any advice you can give me to correctly position my player and be able to effectively cut passing lanes?

[@Indominator94]

Thanks for the compliment and great that it helped you! You should try to make use of super cancel to manual position your players to cut the passing lane by holding both R1 and R2 buttons. Hope it helps!

Let the attacking player make the move first so you can jump in for a challenge. Don't attack them with your centre back unless it's absolute necessary, as your centre back is the last line of your defence. Literally

Let me give you all a little hint. Use advanced settings and set two of your defenders on defensive if you pump or anytime. swarm the box and gegenpress for only half the match. you are welcome.

Awesome video! Now I would really appreciate a video about Myclub defending. Something about the collisions on Myclub doesn't feel predictable sometimes. You feel like you have put a body on someone and they still go through sometimes or are generally unaffected.

[@did7801]

I don't understand how it's 2021 and you still lose the ball to players that are nowhere near it...defence (and counter-defence) is still just pressing a button in most cases. All of the tips here are obvious, but in no way translate to the game for a novice player (been a fair few years since playing intensively). To me it feels like there has been no pogress since 2016...

it annoys me that i can't just tackle somebody.

[@Indominator94]

How come you can't tackle anyone mate?

[@davidsabillon5182]

It's more about positioning. If you press the press button, your defender will probably take a bad angle. Only press when he's in front of you. From the sides he can double tap sprint to out run your press. How do I know? Because I too was like you. But now I focus on maintaining my defensive structure. If my full back is high up I sometimes manually sprint him back to position. That way the center back who covers his position isn't leaving a huge gap in the middle. Good luck!

[@milosstojanovic4623]

Shoulder push does not work properly on higher difficulty, because AI is almost always stronger, cutting pass behind also rarely works because AI knows how to exploit auto position of players (when you dont control them), also if they cant breach defenders they are falling in front of 16 for easy score, and also they are exploiting bug in defense where if you press a button to attack the player to take the ball from him he falls in 16 for penalty. Their one-two passes are also almost without mistake, or game turns on animation for opposing player to take the ball because somehow our player enters some awkward animation and he looses the ball, also outsprinting defender with your player (unless he has something like 95 for speed) is literally impossible. Game has heavy scripting on Top Player and higher difficulties, awful game design.

I don't know but my players switching , no matter assist mode, gets me the worst positioned player. My A.I. almost never block or intercept the ball, unlike I see in opponents A.i., they look like they don't know what's happening on the pitch. Another thing that I don't understand, when Im about to intercept or clear the ball, when I press the button my selected player stops. My players are always slow, Adama Traore gets caught by any defenders . Opponents pass gets literally trough my players, my passes hit opponent , no matter pass support. I think all of this comes down to connection and lag. I managed to get top 10 many times in matchday , so I don't think I'm that bad , I'm not very good either, but when I lose a game after my keeper decides to pass to opponent on PA3 ,it's so so infuriating. sorry for the long post but some advices are welcomed. thanks
