[...] Earlier this season I was knocked out of the Division 1 Cup by the bottom team, RC Strasbourg. As often happens in PES, the minnows seemed to raise their game to epic proportions. When I met them again in the league in game 25, my spider sense started tingling. I sensed the trap. I felt that the game would go all-out to stop me in this fixture.

Sorry to hear about your Cup blunder.

I’ll tell you something, whenever I face a situation where I really need to score, and nothing is working, I try to slip out of my usual playing mode. If all I’m doing is launch through balls to my CF, I’ll try and get a cross in. Something like that.

But most often my last resort is to play the ball to Kim Cyun Hi, and dribble my way to the goal. It works frequently, but sometimes it at least warrants a pen or a freekick near the box.

I believe you’ll find in a couple more seasons, as your team reaches its peak, that not even God-mode can stop you from winning the treble at least a couple of seasons in a row.
