Perfect Defence – Performing a tackle at the perfect time will powerfully shove the player out of the way to secure the ball. Technique and timing can see a defender lose his balance, and creates great chances just as you pictured. Just as the real pitch offers opportunities for those brave enough to perform, in PES 2016 players can pull off precise action, manoeuvre flexibly and pull away from the defender. The 1on1 situations now offer a great leap in exciting table-turning outcomes. This also benefits the upgraded feint moves that allow sudden directional change that can cause defenders to lose their balance. Response times have been improved, allowing players to manoeuvre in tight situations. Use the left stick to battle the opposition or disrupt a larger, more powerful, player or find the best position to make the header/volley.ġv1 Control – In PES 2016 the 1v1 player control have been enhanced, offering a wide range of movements within the existing control structure.

Says another angry user: “The AI, passing and tempo is good, but the fact that this is an XBOX 360 port is just horrible. I’ll never again spend money with konami game. Konami has no respect for PC users and I made a mistake buying this. “This game is deceiving, is bad looking, a joke.
