I'd like to make this thread to find out what kind of "common" issues there are with this game. Don't get me wrong, this is an excellent game but it's the small problems that let it down majorly. And before you say, go back to pes2009 or I'm just plain crap at this game, I'm not. I average win almost 90% of my games, just these issues are enough to frustrate me through this gaming experience. Here are a few things which I just don't understand..
1) The Ref never blows his god damn whistle.
I've played somewhat 350 games since release and yet to see one penalty. I've been tackled numerous times in the box and each of them could've resulted in a penalty, but nothing. Also the dirty tackling/fouling CPU does a sliding two footed challenge on me in the box or out of the box, i get nothing but an injured player.
2) ML transfers.
I've played through 3 seasons of master league and just about every single player i've added to my scout list says "chances of acquiring this player is almost zero". Now, don't get me wrong, it wouldn't be surprising to see the likes of Aguero, Messi almost impossible to get, but even young players who don't even play for their team don't even want to move!
And not only this, I played tottenham and they have half the bloody chelsea team (lampard, drogba, terry, anelka), what the hell is going on? So I can't sign young players from the french ligue 1 or the spanish la liga but tottenham can sign half the bloody chelsea team? Also, every team has a completely different line up each season, so they can sign X amount of players but i cant? In my three seasons i've only been able to successfully sign ONE person.
3) The CPU is plain dumb with positioning.
No matter how far i push my defenders back, even to the goal line, i still get beaten by long balls. Like not just one or two, but every single ball beats my defenders! They never seem to mark the strikers at all, so I'm caught out a lot at the back.
4) Every team passes with exceptional one touch passing.
Fair enough if it's with PL teams, but even championship teams? They can hold the ball for somewhat 10 minutes without me touching it until i make a dirty tackle and get sent off. This is ultimately frustrating as when i try to do the same, its a different story. Usually my players fail to find space and i end up having to dribble pass everyone which makes the game more and more unrealistic.
5) CPU is impossible to catch.
The cpu grabs the ball on the wing and is almost impossible to catch, even if walcott is chasing him with a head start, he always loses out. When i dont have a headstart, there is no point in chasing because you cant actually chase them down unless their speed is <50. This felt like PES5 days when the CPU would bolt and you would never catch them.
Those are just the main issues with this game that I've noticed. Feel free to post on this thread, I'd like to hear your frustrating experiences with this game.

Yes, you are completely right mate ... I know exactly what you mean. The balance of the game does remind me of those cheap Japanese games, I think Seabass & Pes Productions are still stuck in that last gen thinking. This year's AI is the most shocking in PES history personally.
One of them was a foul, one was some off the ball movement which i even didn't see during the game. And there were so many fouls on my players in the penalty area. It's a disaster.
