Manual Passing BLEW MY MIND: PES 2021 and 2020 Realism Upgrade

This is the most important video I made, simply because for the first time in nearly a decade, this is something that completely changed how the game felt and played, much bigger than any year-to-year upgrade. The advantages of switching to manual passing are innumerable, but I did my best to point them out in this video. Share this with all your friends so everyone can switch to manual and we'd have a much better time online.

This is so realistic Benzema didn't score a single goal in this video. 10/10 Realism

If PES gets licensing rights like FIFA it will be a huge HIT!!

I've been playing Full Manual since PES 2016 and I cannot for the life of me understand why more players haven't done this.
It's the only way to play PES. I play full manual on my channel only and it's been a hell of an experience.

Started playing manual passing, and even though I've lost about 6 games out of 7 so far, I am enjoying the game so much more.

this camera angle steal the show....
incredible beautiful realism to watch, (i guess) somewhat pain to play.
somehow its really worth to try.
Nice video, bravo!!!
btw, how many people out there play the game with the same broadcast camera angle ? i guess not that much.
this is really make the game itself to another level, leaving the arcade mode

I was REALLY, really into learning the manual passing because i was an avid PES 6 player and when switching to PES 2020, all my friend here plays in assisted/type 3 passing support, and because of that they play really fast. Needless to say, to compete with them, i cannot mantain the manual passing and only able to do type 1 support, the minimal assisted one XD Great video tho, really helps!

I didn't know playing football would look so epic and realistic. Haven't been playing Fifa20 for months bcuz its not fun anymore. I'm definitely gonna try pes now this looks awesome

@knightmd the manual passing really helps the dimension of the game another great vid🔥🔥

[lukemason]

I could listen to you talk all day - you have such a calm tone. I am also going to follow you on Twitter, too. Your content on here is always worth a watch 🤘

WOOOW! I tried playing Manual Pass for the first time in about 15 years!! AND WOW! Its FUN! Hard to learn but not that hard, still not mastering it, but WOW! You can really place your passes where you want them!

Thanks for this video! It inspired me and my brother to try this! :D

[Mazbi]

Am I the only one who likes the video before its starts playing just because it's from KnightMD?

My problem with manual through passes is that most times the AI-controlled players don't seem to get when the passes are intended for them and just stand still. With assistance, the pass gets locked on to the player and he automatically makes the right movement to get to the ball. I guess sending them on runs manually could help, but triggering the run + getting the right direction and strength on the pass + dealing with the pressure from the opposition is just too much to deal with all at once.

I've switched to FUMA (full manual) some weeks ago too, and woaw !! It's the kind of improvement that once you make it, you're like " how have i lived without this before ??"
It is much more enjoyable and rewarding, but for me the biggest difficulty is manual shooting : oh my god is it so hard to aim, the habit of just pointing up or down is a b*tch to lose haha :p just shooting on target is now an accomplishment !

[wthrajat]

I feel sorry for all FIFA players. What a crap they like

Couple of things here. I myself have been playing on manual passing for some years now, feeling that PES2018 provided the best expierience. 2019 was, meh and with 2020 it varies slightly from Data Pack to Data Pack, but is overall a step up from 2019.
Also it's concerning how good you already seem to be compared to me :D on superstar? man, you're a natural. Even more so considering the camera you playing on! I could never get into playing manual with the angling cameras. I mostly play on a slightly altered "fan view" cam.

I have one major, and some minor complains about manual passing in PES2020 and I'm interested in how you feel about it.

the biggest problem, to my experience, isn't to put the ball where I want it (this one can learn rather quickly; I'd say), but for the game itself to recognize whom the pass was intended for. The cursor switching, to me, feels really annoying this year, especially with manual passing. I could play the perfect pass only for the cursor to switch to the wrong player.
This is even more a problem with high crosses, as the game often switches between two or three players in the box while the ball is in the air. That makes shooting or heading manually a pain, because of the directional input not being only left/right/neutral but rather relative to the player I thought was to take the shot or header, if you know what I mean.

Also, the power gauge feels a little inconsistent from time to time, especially apparent with shot lay offs but also longer low passes where I'd almost max the power gauge but the ball would only travel a couple of meters. Seems to be a bug.

You know how with Pass support enabled you could hold L1/LB to before your player receives the ball to initiate let's say a one-two pass or a chipped shot or want to have a teammate make a run (L1+RS). with manual passing, when you press L1/LB in thee situaitons, you would switch the cursor away from your player. Something that never seems to happen with pass support enabled. So this basically robs you over several options.

How do you feel about your forwards taking on the ball, especially when you play low through balls? I for one, tend to use Super-Cancel A LOT to move my forwards before the receive the ball in order to prevent them from stopping to a halt in order to get the ball. I find this really hard to explain with words (English isn't even my first langauge). I hipe you get what I mean, though. When I don't move the forwards while holding super-cancel they hardly ever get to the ball without losing most or any of their momentum, the way I intended. What's your experience here? Do you use super cancel in these situations? If not, you should really try to use it more, to make the most out of your through balls.

These a the main problems I have with manual passing. Don't get me wrong, I love playing on manual, even manual shooting (often referred to as "full manual" when both passing and shooting are on manual) but I feel that the dev team at KONAMI don't really pay a lot off attention to playing manually. Some issues around this have been in there for years now and I can only hope that for future installements they test this mode more and make it even more enjoyable for more people. maybe someday getting rid of pass support altogether. Manual passing isn't really that hard, imho, if you're willing to invest time in it. It's just made unnecessarily frustrating at times by badly optimized manual gameplay.

I mean, you're pobably in your "honeymoon-phase" right now, so almost everything around it seems like a massive upgrade to the dull pass support but come time, you'll probably be more aware of the problems. Hope you keep at it and have a great time. I could never go back to pass support.

p.s.
oh, I almost forgot. Maybe you could make a video on manual high passing, especially high through balls? Some use L1+triangle. Some swear L1+circle is the best way. or maybe just circle. maybe vary depending on the situation? Have you already experimented with the various options?

Anyways. Great video, hope you encourage more people to make the switch to manual passing. this is the easy part. manual shooting, though... It's a different beast :D

Fantastic realism of PES 2020, it is impossible to understand at the first sight, that it is real Match telecast or Game play in night game or even day game👍, Awesome Awesome Awesome

[gonzalez]

damn PES looks amazing...actually looks like a real match ive been playing fifa casually for years now and only got it because it had all the teams (usually) might pick this up soon

[BilalVadiaGaming]

Excellent review for Manual controls 👌🏼
The trick with manual shooting is, shoot (power bar) 1st change directions after. As with Advanced shot, you can alter directions on a whim. 👍🏼

[worldsempire]

You pulled some strings in this video. Felt like that ascensio goal was real life well done good video.

[greekretrogamer]

I first started to play manually with the Demo release and stadium I REALIZED THAT THIS WAS GOING TO BE MY NEXT GAME. Its absolutely perfect
