The reduction in game speed is again a huge help on this front.
This means that the effectiveness of every pass and shot is influenced by the posture of a player, his position, and the pressure he’s under.Ī shot taken whilst your player is off balance is more likely to find Row Z than the back of the net, so be sure to wait for the exact moment in which to strike. Patience is also needed when it comes to passing and shooting, following the introduction of context-sensitive kick accuracy. This is helped by the new broadcast camera which gives you a wider view of the pitch, and more opportunity to explore areas in which your attack may be more potent, or your opponent’s defence weak. Instead of attacking at will, it’s usually advantageous to work the ball into other areas of the pitch, even if that means passing backwards. One of the main differences between PES 2020 and previous iterations is its slower game speed, which means your route to goal often benefits from a more cerebral approach. While patience is critical in defence, it’s a handy attribute to have in attack too.
