PES 2009 Defending Tips

[alanstotty]

Hi,

I am absolutely CR*P at defending. Each time players run around or past me. I know that I need to keep X pressed to defend.

Anyone got any other tips?

Thanks.

Hey.
What you are supposed to do is:

1) Press the "Eject" button.
2) Take the disc out.
3) Put FIFA 09 in.
4) Play the game.

I hope that helps.

X is to bring CPU players in to surround and approach the oppositions players. A is what you want to be pressing, which is a small tackle, such as taking the ball away from an opponents feet or physically pressuring that player. Keeping pressing LB to switch players and then press A when you are near a player to tackle them. Or B if you want to slide tackle them.

C'mon dude, that is just not helpful, at all. He already has the game now anyway.

You have to hold RB to sprint alongside the opposition player who has the ball. All the while tapping A to attempt to take the ball from the oppositions feet. You might want to do a slide tackle when appropriate too. You can't tell me this doesn't work, as I played the game only last night. You just aren't doing it correctly yet.

Ahhhhhh............... I just keep hold of the X button. Will try tapping it now. Thanks.

Any more suggestions will be greatly received.
