Ive had the CPU take a few dives against me and get booked for it. Its great.

[itstroff]

Has anyone seen any mention of changes/fixes coming in the data pack? Itching to get my ML started but you know they'll patch something once I'm half a season in.

I wonder if the 'malicia' players are more likely to win a free kick or penalty.

Definitely found that last year. You think you've overrun and you just manage to get a touch on the ball before getting clattered.

The first DLC pack is coming tomorrow. They've not said what's gonna be in it but there is no gameplay patch. People on Twitter are going crazy.

In my experience, if the player had Malicia then he's able to get fouled more with body checks etc. You know the animation when the player goes down holding his face?? I experience that with Master League last year. Once I started training this, I was getting these type of fouls against me with certain players.

I also think this is linked to AI dives too. Or there is something hidden that we don't see.

Hmm as long as there is something in the pipeline. I'm guessing they've completed and are happy with some of the changes that are coming, why not release them now? Hopefully they'll get rid of Neymar from that splash screen also.

I've seen cursor change mentioned a lot as a bug. Is this only online or am I missing something? I've noticed the new player will sometimes stop momentarily as you switch but that's about it.

Player switch bug is all modes but you won't notice it as much if you use right stick switching. It does need sorting most definitely but it's not the horrific game breaker that people seem to be saying. This is why I hate twitter, idiots are on there screaming that the game is broken. No its not, it has a couple of bugs but other than that it's probably the best pes game I have played. Once they fix the switching and the ai high through balls spam it will be damn close to perfect. But I am sure the twitter trolls will find something else to whine about then... I have had great fun playing this year so far, it seems like far too many people want the game catered just to them. Does my head in.

Patch notes: A variety of adjustments have been made to each mode to improve the overall gaming experience

[Pes140]

Just to confirm, you need PSN to download the data packs with PES?

[Shales]

Who's installed the DP?

Does it impact the fake leagues?

Also, am I right in thinking the free agents like Totti haven't been removed?

Thanks.

Everything is perfect! Everyone is still in free agents, created teams and national teams untouched. I swear its a dream.

On the player switching issue, what is everyone crying about? I change my players by pressing L1 and it works fine. Am i missing something?

With regards to the content of the pack, Hernandez of West Ham still doesn't have a face. Nice to see a mixture of players get faces instead of just the big teams. Also, Bastia is still in Ligue 2 and not Paris FC. Also, some Konami big shot said the next DLC is in mid November.

On the player switching issue, what is everyone crying about? I change my players by pressing L1 and it works fine. Am i missing something?

90% of the time I find it to be fine then that other 10% you will want to change player to the the guy the ball is literally a foot from and it just won't do it and the ball will bounce past him and on to the intended target. It's hardly the game breaker people are making it out but it can be unbelievably frustrating when it occurs at a critical time..

Like you say it's hardly a game breaker but I have noticed it a few times. To be honest with the second player icon I am finding myself deliberately tracking runs etc and then switching players. The more you spam it the more you'll see it I guess.

[ukexplicit1984]

I think that's the way to play online to be honest. Don't pressure, just use your player to block the passing lanes and make them play risky passes. Most of the time I am intercepting passes with that method. People online don't seem to be able to play against someone who doesn't spam pressure
