Nice.

[DeFrenZ]

now we should find out which ones are the old ones... and i think most of the S ones are.

[PMC]

so 1 touch finally got the passing included?

[Nrby]

never thrust the Konami description ... but it's pretty hard to prove/disprove this

[PMC]

well... I don't have the game yet but the descriptions make things quite clear... I'll try to make use of them as soon as the others do.

[aurandon]

what are the differences between the P items and the S ones?

Are some of them used at the command of the controller while some are inborn in players?

S comes from Special ... these are the classic stars that where in all pes versions until now ... P comes from Positional ... these cares can be active or inactive ... every player can chose when making the tactics before a match if he needs that quality ...

[p1rha]

It always did, it's just that it was easier to see that in the shots than in the passes.

PS.: Seems like the "dummy runner" is something similar to the old "Post player", judging by the players that have been given this card.
Playmaking is gone, now we have "Classic nº10 - Ronaldinho", "Pinpoint passing - Pirlo, Xabi A." and "Talisman - Xavi, Deco, Iniesta, Rosiscky". They are all related toplaymaking somehow, but it's going to be harder to choose now.

P17 – Free Roaming and S01 – Reaction seem exactly the same to me.

[p1rha]

P17 – Free Roaming and S01 – Reaction seem exactly the same to me.

Yeah, but if u play u'll see the freeroamer is really "free", while reaction is more just about the goal opurtunity. I don't like that card much to be honest, i was playing with england with both Gerrard and Lampard as CMFs and i had to turn one of them off.

it makes it quite realistic though... both Gerrard and Lampard play that way for their clubs and they both took a while to get accustomed to the other one in the english NT... the fact that u can switch one off gives you lots of possibilities

[Nrby]

added all the animations ... now if any of them aren't right tell me I honestly can't look at them anymore after doing these gif's

[lfc 4 eva]

I would have said "fox in the box" was like the old *Post Player. Because if you look at the gif the player recives the ball and the defenders are attracted to him as he holds it up and lays it off.

So again Konami have given it a name which has nothing to do with what it actually does.

Does anyone have the piggyback guide to all of these?

[sencesor]

Great job Nrby, judging from the gifs, "Fox in the Box" does look like the old *Post Player, "Goal Poacher" like *lines, & "Talisman” like *Playmaker.

[prosser2k10]

i sid we had to do something like this

[PMC]

I think it's very important to know if the cards themselves can contradict themselves or be considered as supplementive.

I'm thinking of players who might warrant a box to box and enforcer for example. I think its necessary to know how that can effect a player in game
