I don't do it all the time, but it's very useful sometimes. Of course, you have to watch out, because with certain players it starts to seem like cheating, just like chasing an opposing player pressing R1 and X with someone like Bradley, you know it's a matter of time until he overpasses the other player to get to the ball, and 90% of the time that's what happens. You have to watch yourself sometimes to keep playing realistically in this game, I'm afraid. You should try it. I don’t do it all the time, but it’s very useful sometimes.

One of the reasons I ended up disliking the game on the PS3 was the sudden ability I had to dribble, as you know. I loved coming back to the last-gen version, where I've never been able to dribble and I still can't. I can go past one player, sometimes two, if I'm already moving at full speed. But all the stop-starting, side-stepping, R2-dribbling? I've never done it. Adriano - it does indeed sound as if you’re the kind of PES player that I am emphatically not!

He's a very good player to pressure the opposing defenders with. I've scored countless goals by stealing the ball in their own half and speeding on my own towards the goal. As much as I like build-up plays, I'm a dribbler at heart. I'm GOOD at it. I love using R2, especially. I need to get myself another memory card to start saving replays. Or I'll just use my camcord to record them. I keep postponing it. I having scored any volleys with Kim, though. I've tried, but haven't had any success.

Will he be the same kind of player for me? After the dribblefest of the PS3 game, I've reverted to my usual PES playing style of pass and move. I never dribbled before - it's a rare game when I'll try to get past more than one player, and even that's a pretty rare event.

Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Manchester United EVERY season at the European finals is a delight, but it's gotten to a point where Kim has scored 55 goals with at least 10 more games to the end of the season, and it's only eventually that a game is hard to win. But I think I'll insist until I get to the 1000 mark. Then I'll either start from scratch or dump a bunch of players. I'm already giving away a lot of my credits to other teams in my league to make them stronger. I traded Alexandre Pato and Rafael Sobis in plus 100000 credits for a couple of 38-year-old nobobies whom I subsequently released. Schwarz and Park Jiun Hi are next. I might also let Nijkamp, Merino, Denilson and Feurer all go, as they're just warming the bench as it is. Don’t get me wrong, I love winning, and thumping the likes of R.
