Pro Evolution Soccer 2019 Mega Guide – New Features, Installing Optional Files, Highest Rated Players, And More

Pro Evolution Soccer or PES for short is a series that has managed to distinguish itself for its realistic gameplay and physics. The series continues that tradition with PES 19 which sticks to the same formula while also bringing some vital upgrades. This is a game that might take some getting used to because of its complexity, and if you’re having any difficulty with it whatsoever, this guide is here to help you out.

If you’re ready, then let’s get started!

GENERAL TIPS AND TRICKS

Change The Game Length

PES is a series that has always moved at a slower pace than FIFA. Because of this, the default five-minute length of half-time may end up being too short since it won’t give you enough chances to have those exciting moments you crave for. It would be a good idea to increase the length of half-time to at least six minutes because that extra minute really can make a difference to your experience.

Make Use Of The Training Mode

The game has quite a few complex mechanics that can be hard to get right, and this includes the First Touch. If you’re unable to use such moves correctly, it may end up costing you a match. Make use of the training mode to learn the essential moves and tricks that will help you on the field.

Don’t Always Sprint

While sprinting is a great way to go quickly across the field, you have to be careful when using it. Recklessly sprinting is a surefire way to get tackled. A good idea would be to slow down when you see players from the opponent team getting close as you won’t be able to simply sprint past them.

Watch Out For Free Kicks

In this newest installment in the series, free kicks can be devastating and can easily lead to goals. On the plus side, it also means that you will be able to score goals easier when you get a free kick. So, do your best to avoid conceding free kicks to your opponents.

Be Careful When Defending

When you see an opponent getting closer to your goalpost, your first instinct might be to run straight to him. However,  you will need to be a bit more tactical than that because simply running to the opponent with the ball will end up leaving your defense completely open. Make sure you have enough players behind you to get the ball in case you miss before going in for a tackle.

Make Use Of Advanced Instructions

The Advanced Instructions menu helps you make use of some great tactics to use out in the field. These include tactics such as rotating wingers, deep defensive lines, and more which will help you adapt to any situation you come across in the game.

Don’t Abuse The Sliding Tackle

You might be tempted to keep using the sliding tackle, but you should exercise some restraint. Using the sliding tackle can easily end up in a foul, or if not, the opponent may just avoid the tackle entirely leaving one of your players down for a short bit. Avoid using them especially as the opponents near your goalpost as this could potentially end up in a penalty.

HOW TO INSTALL OPTIONAL FILES ON PS4
