The only problem I have is whenever I win the ball back, the opponent knocks my player off balance as they stumble. Then they recover faster while my player just stands there like a potato, unable to be selected. It's bloody frustrating.

[higgins]

Your first example of how to do it correctly is exactly how I defend, but seriously in 99% of cases my defender becomes an onion immediately after the tackle, the opponent stumbles but still gets back to the ball before I can get near it, as if there's an invisible shield or something. It's really weird and it happens consistently.

This is roughly how I've been defending. It's not that different to how I approach it on 2019 either, cause I hate the sweaty bumrush style lol. But it has to be much more refined now, like you show. Great tutorial :)

Because of this guy, everyone in PES 2020 is so damn good. Even 500 rank players know how to do everything and play so well. So frustrating to play against.

Love your vids bro, I've been watching your channel since Pes 18. I play ok offline but always get my ass kicked online, would be great if you can do some vids on tips palying online. I seemed to get over run and out-rushed playing online. Keep up the good work, thankx mate!

Great tutorials, Spooney! I get frustrated from time to time as the game is difficult for me. There are many skills to be mastered at the same time, e.g. tactics, dribbling, positioning, tackling, etc. However, looks like it's possible to make progress and I have a feeling I'm getting better :) thanks to your tutorials. It takes time though. It's not a game one can master and win easily at the highest level after a few days of playing...

[Dyzio]

Nice video. I stoped playing fifa and this time I buoght PES. I have big problem with playing in defence.
Thank you for you help!

Hey Spoony, have you noticed a difference in the defending between the demo and the full current version? I could've sworn fouls were easier to give away and you couldn't just charge in and tackle like you can now. Thoughts????

Great exampels😍
thx for that.
Spoony Pizzas for President 💪

do you have advice on what to do against a player who is shielding the ball? holing x or tapping wont let me muscle them off the ball, double tap x is 99% of the time a foul. any suggestions? the ai or human controled can get the ball off me so i must be doing something wrong :/

[metabotulism]

Can you explain (if you can) why super cancel is even necessary? Why do I have to press 2 extra buttons, just to tell the game "yes, I REALLY do want to go that way"... and then release at just the right time, then reapply (I noticed you pulsing it, I do the same)... It feels like trying to play Paganini on the top buttons. Why do they make moving across the field so confusing? And why does the AI wrap the player's legs around like that? Why can't the devs just leave well enough alone?! Sorry...

[callous]

This one too, wish I'd seen it when it first dropped lol! One question; when you say "tap and hold X" do you mean two presses of X as in tap, then press again and hold or do you mean just one press, as in press and hold X? Cheers dude :)

Thank you! a really really nice one spoony.

Defending in PES is so vague and hard to understand, I'm pretty sure tapping or holding the pressure button doesn't help with blocking shots, or rather it helps if the shot is directly towards the defender but won't help if the player has to reach to deflect the shot. Also it feels like the purpose of pressing X/A is to initiate shoulder to shoulder attack, reaching to take away the ball is done automatically in all instances and you can only force it with a double tap of X/A. All of those however are just suspicions because it's really hard to confirm it since players always act differently.

Two things I'm completely certain about tho:
1. Sliding tackles get modified depending on whether you are holding R1/RB, R2/RT or nothing. Holding the jokey button actually allows you to perform sliding tackles that can take away the ball from opponents that are close to the ball, something the other two types of sliding tackles can't because they will always trigger a foul unless the opponent kicked the ball towards the tackle. It's a complete gamechanger and it probably worked on previous version of the game but I'm too lazy to try.
2. When clearing a loose ball it's really important to hold one direction steady during the entire animation. That will ensure that the defender will not try to trap the ball and that he will apply good power behind the clear. I'm pretty certain holding the run button makes the clear even stronger, but holding the direction steady is extremely important.

Please test those two things and when you see that they are true, make a video about them because more people have to know about it. It's completely retarded that Konami are hiding so much about the game and people suck at it and don't understand why. This game would've been so much more popular if people knew how much modifiers there is to each move and how to manipulate them.

Thank you Spoony, this is very effective against the legend AI, did you notice that auto sliding has been removed this year?

[garystewart]

I love super cancel, vital to make the game feel free. Played 20 Demo and finding it not working, as well, little hit and miss. What you think Spoony

[gilbertzetina]

What is super cancel. This is the first time im playing PES

[Rif_Tv_Gaming]

Spoony in my Club what is a good formation and what tactics should i use with it? For begin now i use Fischer as coach with deep defence row. Its good but offensiv its hard for create chances.

[stardawg]

I dont know how anyone can say this game is better
