Use them to get weekly Featured Players/Teams or to unlock a Top Manager at the beginning. For Contract Renewals and spinning Agents always use GP (unless you’re fine with injecting real money into the game). * When you’re just getting started, play the Online Challenge Cup “First Trial” competition first, where each of your first 5 games will give you a boost of 10.000 GP (50.000 GP in total). * If you’re playing a Ranked Match (SIM) to farm GP, immediately toggle “Match Data” to skip the game’s cut scenes. Matches will end quicker. * When training players, keep in mind that trainers that reached levels multiple of 10 (level 10/20/30/40/…) will give more base EXP. * If you have 3 exact same players, you can trade for any other player of the same Ball Type, level 1 (Legends do not apply). They all need to be the same version, ie, this won’t work if you have a Featured version of a player and 2 regular versions. * Players who get a better match rating will get more EXP – and those are usually the ones that score goals. If you want to develop your CBs, consider using them as strikers in easy VS COM games for more EXP after each match. * Top Managers are locked with coins at the beginning – as you play more and more matches (including SIMs), they will gradually become unlocked with GP. 400 games should unlock all managers in myClub. * You can use Management Skill Boost items to increase your Manager’s Management skills (so that more skilled players can play in your team at the same time). * Not every Collector’s Box has the same odds of giving you a Black Ball. Some weeks you’re better off saving GP. * Try to login every day for free rewards – if possible, play one game a day to get your “First Victory of the Day” (3.000 GP). This will work even in an easy VS COM game. * Make sure you combine scouts to increase your chances of getting the players you want. * Have a look at 50% chance scout combinations as well. Every now and then you will notice you have the other player – meaning that a 50% chance is actually 100%, since you can’t get duplicate players with scouts! * Use cheap players as much as possible (eg: easy VS COM games). Save your superstars for the important matches. * Don’t underestimate young players’ potential. Some silvers can actually reach 90+ OVR when maxed out. * Use your Contract Renewal Tickets on your most expensive players. * Make sure you lock your favorite players so that you don’t accidentally convert them into trainers. To do so, visit the CLUB HOUSE / myClub MEMBERS screen and press the “Player Menu” button for the “Lock” feature. * To save Stamina Recovery Items, you can rest your main team by switching to a SIM game with your white balls every 2 or 3 games. * You can save multiple squads to easily toggle between your 3-star, 5-star and SIM teams. To do so, simply press the “Squad List” button in the CLUB HOUSE / SQUAD MANAGEMENT screen. * To check your players’ in-game stats (such as appearances, goals, assists, average ratings) go to the CLUB HOUSE / SQUAD MANAGEMENT screen, pick a player and press “Compare”. * Make sure your strongest team is the team assigned for Cloud Matches. This will be the team other players will face in SIM matches, and you will earn free GP once a week. The amount of GP will depend on your team’s performance. * Pay attention to Player Form: as your team grows bigger, try to pick only players that are on A and B-form, and in weeks where every player is on C-form, have a look at the “Form” attribute of each player. * You can save some GP by renewing a player’s contract while he is still developing. When you scout a player that you’re sure you will be using often, I would suggest you immediately renew his contract while he is still level 1. Real Team Names: ---------------- Here’s a guide to the real team names in eFootball PES 2020. -=English League=- East Dorsetshire – AFC Bournemouth East Sussex – Brighton and Hove Albion Lancashire Claret – Burnley South Wales – Cardiff City London FC – Chelsea South Norwood – Crystal Palace Merseyside Blue – Everton West London White – Fulham West Yorkshire Town – Huddersfield Town East Midlands – Leicester City Man Blue – Manchester City Man Red – Manchester United Tyneside – Newcastle United Hampshire Red – Southampton North East London – Tottenham Hotspur Hertfordshire – Watford East London – West Ham WM Gold – Wolverhampton Wanderers -=English 2nd Division=- West Midlands Village – Aston Villa West Midlands City – Birmingham City Lancashire Blue – Blackburn Rovers NW White Black – Bolton Wanderers Hounslow – Brentford FC SW Red – Bristol City Derbyshire – Derby County Yorkshire Orange – Hull City East Anglia Town – Ipswich Town Yorkshire Whites – Leeds United Teesside – Middlesbrough GL Blue White – Millwall Norfolk City – Norwich City Notts Reds – Nottingham Forest LN White – Preston North End North West London – Queens Park Rangers Berkshire Blues – Reading Yorkshire Reds – Rotherham United YH Red Black – Sheffield United South Yorkshire Blues – Sheffield Wednesday ST Red – Stoke City West Glamorgan City – Swansea City West Midlands Stripes – West Bromwich Albion LN Azure Blue White – Wigan Athletic -=Lega Italia=- PM Black White – Juventus Sansagiulo – Sassuolo -=Spanish League=- PV Sky Blue White – Deportivo Alaves PV White Red – Athletic Bilbao GA Cyan – Celta Vigo PV Blue Red – Eibar CT Blue White – Espanyol MD Cobalt Blue – Getafe CT Carmine White – Girona AR Burgundy Blue – Huesca MD Blue White – Leganes ED Blue Burgundy – Levante MD Scarlet White – Rayo Vallecano AN Green White – Real Betis MD White – Real Madrid PV Blue White – Real Sociedad AN White Red – Sevilla CL Purple – Valladolid ED White Orange – Valencia ED Yellow – Villarreal How to Use Teammate Pressure: ----------------------------- You can actually control your teammates in BAL by utilising the teammate pressure button. It’s activated by tapping or double-tapping and then holding the Square/X button, which forces one or multiple players to pressure the ball respectively. It’s a great way of regaining possession when pushing for a goal, but use it sparingly, as it tends to pull players out of position and create gaps for the opposition to exploit. How to Use Manual Shooting: --------------------------- Some PES veterans like to play using manual controls for their added freedom, but these are hard to grasp, requiring delicate mastery of the analogue stick. Fortunately, you can get the best of both worlds by holding the L2 (LT on Xbox) button to force manual controls. Though we suggest using this sparingly, it’s perfect for situations in which you’re facing an open goal, for example, as it allows for more command over the situation and helps prevent embarrassing misses. How Scripting Works: -------------------- Written by J4MESOX4D This is a brief guide outlining what scripting is in PES 2020 and how it can impact matches online and offline against the AI. -=What is Scripting?=- Scripting is a controversial underlying aspect present in a minority of videogames where gameplay is secretly manipulated by the backend code of the software that drastically impacts the user experience regardless of their efforts. There has been substantial evidence provided that such factors exist in brands like PES and FIFA although it is unlikely to ever be conclusively proven without full disclosure from the developers. Scripting is largely used to either manipulate users into spending real money in-game or it exists as a form of artificial difficulty to perhaps cover up a lack of strong AI. -=How Do I Spot Scripting? Scripting can manifest online and offline in PES 2020 but it is absolutely notorious when facing the AI on the Superstar and Legendary Difficulties particularly if you are playing with weaker sides. This likely exists to compensate for below-par AI but it can leave users feeling annoyed and it makes matches look incredibly untidy. You may notice certain inconsistencies or bizarre occurrences that leave you frustrated and confused - a lot of these are simply down to the scripting and not your personal performance or bad luck. There is also suggestions that weaker AI teams are scaled up regardless of stats when facing better sides so if you are facing San Marino as France, you may be in for a tougher match than statistics would suggest! Here is a few common things to look out for which can be attributed to scripting:- -=Wayward Passing Sometimes you'll struggle to complete basic passes - a 6 yard pass being under-hit, a 25 yard one going way too far or a simple pass going way off the intended target to be collected by the AI. -=Woeful Through-Balls Through-balls are an essential way of breaking down tough defences and getting pacy attackers behind the back-line but you'll notice more often that not, your perfectly timed button presses see the ball go nowhere near your intended target - sometimes straight to the keeper or easily to the first defender. -=Tame Full-Power Shots Lionel Messi through one-on-one and powers up a shot from 12 yards only to see his effort trickle towards the keeper. Granted, you can blast shots quite comfortably from outside the box that the keeper will likely parry but when it comes to easy chances, even the top strikers can be held back by some questionable instances. -=Unresponsive Player-Switching Player switching needs to be responsive, fluid and snappy particularly on a game where the AI has full control over all players. Sadly in PES 2020 just like its predecessor; you will be battling the infuriating player-switching as well as your opponent. The AI can move the ball around comfortably and right into the heart of your defence, yet you will struggle to select an appropriate player during the build-up and in some cases, you can't even select a player which can result in the AI having an uncontested shot. -=Player Speed/strength Inconsistencies You may notice a rapid striker with outstanding speed attributes get outpaced by a 35+ year old defender or how a massive powerhouse like Romelu Lukaku can get bullied off the ball by a tiny defender. The scripting is in full force with farces like this where even stats mean nothing. -=AI Winning Everything Sometimes you will have a torrid run where the AI wins every 50/50 and picks up every loose ball. Bad RNG? Nope, that's intended scripting. -=Players Stopping Ever been on the attack and played a nice sweeping ball into the path of your player but they just stop for no reason and the move breaks down? This is another common factor yet the AI does not experience this handicap. -=Missed Challenges Slide tackling or block tackling is an effective way of nabbing the ball or stopping an attack but more often than not, you may find yourself missing tackles altogether and the AI evading whilst retaining the ball. Even though your timing and execution was perfect, you still weren't rewarded. -=Last Minute Goals I am willing to be that 99.9% of players have conceded more last minute goals than they have scored but more often than not, if a game is drifting into the last few minutes and the AI has a dangerous attack or corner, they are likely to score especially if the game is tied or the player is winning by the odd-goal. These are just a few examples of how scripting can affect games. The artificial nature of how the AI performs technically and visually just shows how crippled the launch build is of PES 2020 from a gameplay standpoint. -=How Can I Combat Scripting?=- Unfortunately there is no way to get on top of the scripting - it will exist in the game until it is heavily downscaled or patched out altogether. The biggest surprise to users was the fact that scripting was not present in the demo but the full release seems mimic that of the final build of PES 2019 where matches were dominated by scripting accusations. Having played the demo and the first build of 2020, the difference is monumental and it just shows how prominent the problems associated with this are. I cannot fathom why Konami has done this especially when the demo was so well received for all its improvements. |
