BTW, got to spend more time with PES this weekend:
For a breh who likes tactics, PES let you have 3 different tactics in a game with each tactic having a defensive, attacking and neutral side. I was
when I was able to defend deep 442 and explode in a 433 to counter just like that. I could even choose between the 3 different tactics dynamically in game without pausing. And the game is fluid and really feels natural. I was having fun just defending while the AI was passing around my team-block trying to break my lines
honestly the tactics are really the only thing i miss about PES.
i still play FIFA w/ the PES controls. but all the formations feel the same. more or less unless you play 3 at the back.
PES i used to run a basic 4-3-3 to start. Then this really front loaded 4-2-4 when I was chasing a game or trying to run the score up. and a christmas tree when i needed to defend/counter. it's telling of EA's intentions w/ FIFA that they still haven't incorporated this yet.
unless i'm missing something w/ FIFA 15 the on-the-fly strategy options are still very limited. Swap Wingers is useful though.
