(VIDEO TUTORIAL): How to defend in PES 2016

I'm certain you've seen yet that the protectors in PES 2016 are finished retards in the event that you give AI a chance to carry out the employment should. In this way, get your very own grip predetermination. You will need to practice, hone, hone however it'll pay off.

How to guard in PES 2016, from my experience? Essential controls to remove the ball from adversary are:

1) Hold LB+A – player will sprint towards the adversary with the ball (use when not near your rival) 2) Double press A – player will attempt and take the ball from a rival with a tackle, not sliding (use when near your rival)
3) B – sliding tackle
4) Double squeeze X and hold – bunch squeezing, upwards of 4 or 5 of your players will assault the rival with the ball.

1. Figure out which arrangement and technique works best for you 

This is the establishment around which you'll assemble your protective achievement. The development will contrast from group to group, from player to player, however the system could be the same, whichever group you play (obviously, it can't be the same on the off chance that you play Barcelona or FC Girona). The methodology that works best for me with Tenerife (ML, season 3, players with OR from 73-81) in the event that I need to safeguard effectively is the most cautious one. 442 or 4231, counter assault. I generally utilize long going with 6-7 support and wide assaulting. Without ball, my guarded line is set to the most profound (1) , and minimization to the most conservative (10). I don't utilize aggresive and bleeding edge assault beacause it typically reverse discharges at me.

2. Choose your players wisely.

When playing against Barcelona, choose two defensively stronger central midfielders instead of a playmaker and a DM. You can also, for example, put your offensive full back to the ML or MR position and have a more defensive one on the DL or DR (if you have two decent full backs in the team, of course). For example – your usual full back Gael Clichy could play ML and your central defender Mamadou Sakho can play DL, when you play a strong team. This game is becoming a football manager (and that’s okay).

3. When playing big teams, use man marking and a five man defence

When I play big teams, I play 5-4-1 fluid formation and set a man marking before game. Every one of my players has a defensive duty (except for one CB!), even central forward. He usually marks their defensive midfielder. I use double marking on extremely dangerous players such as Messi or Bale. For example, if Messi plays RWF I use my LB and my LM to man mark him. If he plays CF, I use two of my CBs to mark him. I always leave one of my CBs without man marking duty so he roams around cleaning loose balls. Konami could’ve put a sweeper position in the game…

4. Don’t run around chasing attackers

First, you’ll lose your stamina quickly. This will be your death at the end of the game because your players will err much more. Second, it won’t really get you anywhere, the CPU is good at keeping the possesion. It is better to wait out till the CPU makes a mistake in passing or the chance to take the ball by sliding tackle or double tap of the A button. And, hey, if it’s necessary, foul it! Every wrong sliding tackle isn’t a yellow/red card these days. But! Here lies the big danger – DHTB!

5. The dreaded high through ball (DHTB) and how to defend it

The Dreaded High Through Ball (DHTB) which CPU uses so much against you, shows how really stupid your defenders are. You can set up mark settings all you want, attackers will get away from your defenders, receive the ball and score, while you watch helplessly.

The black cloud slowly shadows your sight and you (do or don’t) supress the urge to throw that motherfuc*ing gamepad to the ground and tell Konami a few chosen words about intelligence (your defenders artificial one and theirs… well… ). Your wife looks at you like you’re the biggest moron in the world when you talk to the monitor and doesn’t understand how can a game frustrate you so much.

There is a solution to that and it’s called manual player change. You do it with RS instead of LB. The main goal is to change the cursor to a defender who stands next to an attacker who is about to run away from him so that his teammates could send him a DHTB. If you do this correctly, they will not pass to him or will, but you’ll at least stand a chance of cutting off the ball. In the same time, you should double tap the X so the rest of your players press the guy with the ball. I’ve made a video to explain this better:
