Manegement Edit PES 2011 (PS3/PC)

In PES 2011, there is a new option for us to customize our tactics – The Management Edit.
Basically, this PES option allow us to allocate gameplay tactics at different time frames, according to the situation of the match. It is a rather good option for you to set your PES tactics beforehand, so you do not have to activate on-the-fly tactics manually during the match.
In this post, I will share you with the uses of each strategy, as well as share with you the management plan which I found effective in PES 2011.

Strategies

Long Ball – Play long balls to launch quick counter attacks.
Quick Counter – Pressing opponents in their half and attempt to win the ball back quickly.
Possession Game (Offensive) – Players move into position to keep possession, play a patient game to split the defence.
Possession Game (Defensive) – Players keep possession to drag time.
All out attack – Mad rush forward.
Swap Wings – Players move to opposite flank, allowing you to switch flank and continue the attack.
CB Overlap – Select one Centre-Back to make forward runs.
Note that Offside trap, and Custom Settings A/B are not available in Management Edit.

Level

As seen in the diagram, the plan is broken up into 15 minutes interval, with two rows. The upper row will be given priority. When the scores are level, it is important not to rush your attacks. Thus majority of the plan is focused on Offensive Possession Game. Quick Counter and long balls are set as second priority, to provide variation to your PES game.
In the first and last 15 minutes, I recommend an All Out Attack strategy. In the beginning of the match, an all out attacking plan will surprise opponents. Your players are full of energy and it will be to your advantage to earn a few shots on goal, which will set the momentum for you throughout the game.
In the last 15 minutes, throw in some substitutions, and go for the all out attack again. Your opponents will be tired, and might not be able to cope with your fresh attackers. Furthermore, a goal scored in this period of time will leave your opponents with little time to reply. I have also allocated the CB Overlap as second priority in the last 15 minutes to put more pressure on the opponents.

Trailing

When you are trailing in PES, the most important thing is to regain possession. Quick counter is essential as players will pressure opponents to win the ball back quickly, allowing you to launch counter-attacks.
Swap wings is used towards the end of the game to change your style of playing. Afterall, there is no point sticking to the same strategy for the entire game if it does not work.
And when all else fails, the combination of All Out Attack and CB Overlap in the last 15 minutes will put tremendous pressure on your opponents.

Leading

Leading in PES is a tricky situation. Even if you have a 3 goals advantage, your opponents might still mount a comeback by taking advantage of the match momentum. The main strategy now will be to retain possession, draw opponents towards you, and exploit any gaps. I use a mix of Quick Counter, Offensive Possession, and Long Ball in this case.
I find Defensive Possession Game ineffective, thus I did not use it.
And this concludes my management edit plan in PES 2011. Let me know your plan too!

PES 2011 Penalty Tutorial

Hi PES players,
In PES 2010 we have had complains of not receiving enough or ANY penalty opportunities. Luckily that changed in PES 2011. Through the course of taking penalities, I have taken a liking towards the chipped penalty. And there are three reasons why.

1. It is easy to execute
2. It is an effective way to beat the keeper
3. It is pleasing to the eye

PES 2011 Penalty Taking

Before continuing on the chipped penalty, I will just do a brief runthrough of taking a penalty in PES 2011.

1. Tap shoot button
2. (Optional) Press Up/ Down directional button
3. (Optional) Press Front/ Back directional button

I realised that tapping the shoot button only activates the run up to the shot. The duration of the button pressed does not affect the power of the shot.
In step 2, the pressing of Up/ Down button will determine the direction of your shot, either to the left, or right, of the keeper. Hold it slightly longer to aim for the bottom corner. If you wish to hit it down the middle, you do not have to press any button in step 2.
Step 3 determines the power of your shot. By default, your shot will be low along the ground. Tapping the front directional button will send it towards the roof. Tapping the back directional button will give the ball a gentle chip.
Perhaps there is a problem with my controller, but you may experience times when the shot does not go where it should go despite holding onto the appropiate buttons. I guess the game controls are not sensitive at times.

Chip Penalty

My purpose for this post is to recommend the chipped penalty.
In PES 2011, I tend to hit a chipped penalty to the side. To do this,

1. Tap Shoot Button
2. Tap Left/ Right (or hold the buttons for half a second)
3. Tap Back

PES 2011 Tutorial

September 20th, 2010 Z Neo

Hi PES Fans,

5 days ago, I was just surfing the net and checking out the latest soccer scores online, when I noticed a banner ad. FIFA 2011 demo available for download now!

I thought, “Being FIFA’s main competitor, PES 2011 demo should be released around the same as well!”

I did a search and yes! The demo has arrived! Within an hour of downloading and tweaking I am into the game, figuring out the new menu options, testing out the gameplay, and…

PES 2011 is great!

I will say it is a drastic improvement fron PES 2010! I will say PES 2011 is at least 2.5 times better than 2010.

Gameplay

In PES 2011, you can definitely feel an improvement in the game engine. The players are smaller, more proportionate to the field. The controls are sharper, you can feel more control in your passes. The power guages are now above the head of every player, and every single pass requires the use of the guage. There is less assistance from the AI on through passes, meaning you have to manually guage the direction and power required. You have to take more care in finding your target, and it also gives you the freedom to make unpredictable passes to your teammates making forward runs. I’ve played a couple of games, and after a few initial wayward passes, the passing moves look more realistic and helps in spraying passes through the smallest of gaps in defence.

Determining power of every pass

Crossing and shooting are generally unchanged in PES 2011. However, players are able to take shots from more angles and in tight situations. Improved animations and player intelligence allows players to make more snap shots and volleys, whereas in the past they will just ignore your commands.

Shooting in PES 2011

Players in PES 2011 are able to make more intelligent runs during the build up of your attack. After passing the ball, players will move forward into a good position to carry on the attack, instead of just dumbly charging forward to an offside position. You can produce interesting attacking moves with the pass and move options, leading to a satisfying team goal.

Dribbling trickery in PES 2011 now requires the use of analog sticks. Directional buttons no longer perform tricks. Players perform tricks by pressing L2/LT and moving the right analog stick is a series of directions, similar to FIFA, which means we have to relearn the entire series of dribbling tricks all over again for PES 2011. However, there is always the Link Feint, which we will touch on soon.

Diving is still present in PES 2011. This time, it is easier to execute the dive, by pressing LEFT and RIGHT analog stick together, though i believe it is still hard to convince the referee.

Free kicks and corner kicks remain largely unchanged in PES 2011. I guess there’s nothing much for them to improve, but it seems most of your free kicks will appear to be just close to scoring, as long as your power is somewhere in the middle. Probably PES’s way of providing us with the ‘Ooooh’ moment.

Are you asking about penalties? Well, I have not been awarded one yet so far, in the PES 2011 demo version. I did, however, tried out the system by conceding a penalty and changing sides to take the kick. And sadly, the system is still similar. Pressing down directional button and shoot, with accuracy and power determined by the duration you hold on to the buttons, without any form with visual guage. Well at least you can still apply your existing PES penalty skill.

Throw in are now determined by a power guage too, which is very useful. Estimate the amount of power you need, and more often than now it leads to an accurate throw, be in a quick short one or a long ‘Rory Delap’ throw into the box.

Throw in with power guage

Goal keepers make less mistakes now, or at least in the few matches in the demo version.

Tactical Options

PES 2011 now employs a drag and move option with your controller, making it faster and more convenient to select your desired options, and moving your player into your preferred position in the field. You can employ 1-touch option for gameplan, where AI chooses a suitable formation for you, or you go for manual, which i believe most of you will.

Drag and Drop

In strategy, you assign preset strategies, which you can activate and deactivate mid-game by pressing ‘Select + Preset Buttons’. A few interesting ones. ’Swap Wings’ – Where play is switched from one side to the other, to take advantage the unmarked opposite flank. ‘Long ball’ – Quick ball played from defender to striker. My favourate “CB Overlap” is still present.

PES 2011 Strategy

Under PES 2011 Team style, you change the settings for Player Support, Support range etc. However, the points are from 0 – 20, instead of the previous 0-100. Finally PES realised there is no need for 100 points when there are only 3 distinct settings for each slider options.

Team Style

Link Feints – A new feature of PES 2011. You can have 4 Link feints. For each link feint, you pre-assign up to 4 dribbling feints, locked to 1 side of the right analog stick, e.g Right Stick UP. In the game, by pressing L1/ LT + Pushing Right Stick UP, your player will unleash all of the assigned tricks in sequence. You do not have to manually execute each of the tricks. Just watch your player perform….

Setting Up Of Link Feints

Now the thing is, once you start, you cant stop, until the sequence is over, or when your player loses posession, or dribbles out of play. Thus, you have to choose your sequence carefully and use them appropiately at the right time, or else you might end up running straight into your opponent, or dribbling the ball out of play!

There are 2 settings for executing link feints, Fixed Stick Configuration, and Player View configuration. Fixed stick configuration means that for each time you push the Right stick Up, the same sequence is executed, regardless of where your player is facing. On player view configuratio, you assign feints relative to your dribblers view. For example, Link Feint A is assigned to player’s front. So, in the game, when your dribbler is facing left, to activate Link Feint A, you have to push Right Stick Left; when he is facing up, you have to push Right Stick Up to activate Link Feint.

Link Feints Configuration

For me I prefer Fixed Stick configuration as I find it easier to remember the tricks. However, if you pre-assign tricks to specifically dribble past players when they are on the left of you, on the right of you, or straight ahead in front of you, a Player View Configuration may make your dribbling easier in PES 2011.

Management Edit allows you to set orders before a match, at different time frames in a match, the gameplay strategy to utilise depending on the situation of the game. For example, when your team is trailing at from 45 to 60 min, your players will automatically adopt a ‘Quick Counter’ Mindset. When your team is leading towards the end of the match, your players will play ‘Possession Game’ to keep the ball and stall time. All these strategies are preset before the match, which saves you the trouble of tweaking whenever there is a change of scores.

Management Edit

 

And the rest

The hexagonal players stats diagram is back! And player skill cards are still present.

PES players might need some time to get used to the new camera, which swings around the action to provide a more realistic broadcast view.

The controlled passing is helpful for you to spot small gaps in defence and pick up players making intelligent runs into the box, but you will require more accuracy and a good guage of power. That said, I find that top players are very much easy and control, and majority of their passes are accurate, without much effort from me.

All in all, PES 2011 feels more realistic than PES 2010. You have more freedom over your actions on the pitch, aided by much smarter AI teammates. PES 2011 is easy to pick up for PES veterans. After a couple of try out matches, and you should be recording victories with ease. The difficulty level has not increased by much. Seasoned players wil no doubt be online looking for challenges. As this is still the demo version, lets hope that minor bugs can be fixed, a few more improvements made, and the online competition be free of errors to ensure a more competitive and fairer challenge for all PES players.

Kalau, agan-agan sedang dalam keadaan emosi yang tidak stabil, tentunya, agan tidak konsentrasi memencet tombol stick/keyboard yang menyebabkan tendangan yang tidak akurat. Malah, bisa nyasar. Untuk itu, sebelum menendang, tariklah nafas terlebih ahulu, hembuskan. ambilah sikap tenang agar agan bisa berkonstrasi dengan baik.

3.Arah tendangan di PES 2011 berbeda dengan PES sebelumnya, begitu juga PS2, apalagi PS1. Hehehe. Apabila ingin menendang kekiri, yang anda pencet adalah tombol atas. Apabila ingin menendang ke kanan, tombol bawah yang harus ditekan. (Bisa juga terbalik, karena sesuai dengan kaki dominan si penendang). Setelah tekan atas/bawah barulah menekan KOTAK.

4.Ingat! kuatnya anda menekan atas/bawah juga berpengaruh terhadap arahnya. Jika terlalu kuat menekan tombol atas/bawah, bola malah bisa melenceng. Jadi, lama atau cepatnya agan menehan tombol arah, juga berpengaruh terhadap jarak bola. Begitu juga dengan tombol KOTAK, lamanya  menekan tombol KOTAK, mempengaruhi kekuatan tendangan.

Nah! Selamat mencoba trik PES 2011 yang ane sajiin ini. Tapi, ingat! Diperlukan latihan yang maksimal agar agan mamu menendang penalty dengan baik. Ane aja, latihannya seharian, baru bisa. hehehe Selamat mencoba!!!!!

Tips dan Trik CityVille : Bagaimana agar Dekorasi Menghasilkan Lebih Banyak Koin atau Uang

Ada beberapa cara umum untuk membuat kita menjadi mayor yang sangat sukses di CityVille seperti mengatur barang-barang dengan efisien dan menguasai Franchise. Tapi di samping cara itu ada cara lain yang dapat memberikan kita keuntungan potensial yang sangat tinggi dengan mengatur dekorasi yang ada di kota kita.

Apabila kita melihat pada gambar di atas, dekorasi dibuat sedemikian rupa tentunya dengan pola tertentu dan itu ada hitungannya. Hitungannya sebagai berikut :
Normal Pool Hall menghasilkan : 420 coin
Dan bonus : 1391 coin
1 energy = 1391 coin
Setiap kereta yang kita kirimkan ke CharlieVille untuk mengirimkan barang-barang akan membutuhkan 991 coin (butuh 100 produksi dikurangi 400 coin).  Pada dasarnya, mengumpulkan uang dari bisnis-bisnis yang kita miliki akan memakan 1 energy (perlu diingat : mensupply bisnis kita dengan barang-barang tidak membutuhkan energy). Jadi agar lebih efisien maka kita harus membangun bisnis yang banyak menghasilkan uang dan menghasilkan bonus keuntungan yang lebih besar dengan cara mengelilingi area bisnis tersebut dengan dekorasi. Bagi kebanyakan orang, dekorasi yang paling dapat mempercepat coin adalah Arboretum, yang menawarkan +16% dan butuh 4000 coin. Namun kita dapat juga menaruh Patung Perunggu (Bronze Statue)  yang menawarkan +2% dan Pot Bunga (Flower Patch)  yang menawarkan +1% untuk mengisi lahan yang kosong.
Nah dengan perubahan ini, maka setiap energy yang kita keluarkan untuk sebuah gedung misalkan Pool Hall akan memberikan kita 1391 coin ketimbang 420 coin. Kita juga dapat menaruh bisnis baru disamping Arboretum agar lebih efisien. Dengan cara ini maka bonus akan meningkat pesat dan kita akan lebih menghemat energi dan banyak menghasilkan uang untuk jangka panjang.

Efek samping lainnya adalah kota kita akan terasa lebih indah dengan adanya dekorasi. Ok selamat mencoba para CityVille Mania.

FARM VILLE

Belakangan game ini menjadi pilihan gue untuk melepas rasa penat dalam beraktifitas. Pengennya sih maen Harvest Moon di PSP (katanya lebih bagus dan lebih variatif) tapi sayangnya gue belum punya gadget tsb. Yahh mudah2an taon depan bisa punya dehh, hehehe.

Farmville, game ini merupakan salah satu dari beberapa aplikasi yang diluncurkan oleh ZYNGA Corp. Karakter yang dimainkan pada game ini adalah sebagai seorang petani yang memiliki ladang. Anda akan diberikan kesempatan untuk mengembangkannya menjadi sebuah ladang sesuai dengan tingkat kreatifitas anda. Memiliki tanaman sendiri, binatang peliharaan atau bahkan bangunan-bangunan dan dekorasi yang unik menjadi suatu tantangan tersendiri. Tingkat kesuksesan anda akan diukur dengan level-level yang ada. Jika semakin tinggi level anda, maka fitur-fitur yang terkunci pada tiap-tiap level game tersebut akan terbuka. Selain meningkatkan level, anda juga harus mengumpulkan pundi-pundi uang (coins)/ XP (experience points) dari hasil menanam tanaman atau dari hasil binatang peliharaan anda.

Tertarik memainkan game ini? gue akan coba kasih tips supaya cepat naik level & meraup XP dengan cara singkat. Hal pertama yang anda butuhkan adalah:

1. Facebook Account
2. FarmVille Application

Sebagai pemula anda mungkin akan bingung untuk memulai darimana. Saran pertama gue adalah alokasikan semua lahan yang ada untuk tanaman dan bajaklah (pekerjaan ini akan menghasilkan 1 XP pada setiap lahan yang dibajak). Hindari untuk membeli dekorasi/bangunan yang tidak berguna dan fokuslah untuk bercocok tanam.

Jika anda termasuk kategori yang sering online maka pilihlah jenis bibit yang cepat tumbuhnya, misalkan Strawberry/Raspberry (bibit ini dapat dipanen antara 2–4 jam dengan 1 XP). Sebaliknya, jika anda jarang online (minimal 2–3 hari sekali) maka beralihlah ke jenis bibit seperti; eggplant/wheat (dapat dipanen antara 2–3hr dengan 2 XP).

Langkah selanjutnya adalah perbanyak jumlah tetangga anda. Semakin banyak jumlah tetangga anda, maka semakin banyak pula kesempatan anda untuk mengumpulkan coins & XP. Anda dapat bekerja membantu di ladang tetangga anda dengan imbalan 20 coins dan 5 XP.

Ini yang paling penting, anda tidak perlu memiliki banyak pohon dan binatang. Kenapa? karena dua hal ini dapat dimiliki secara cuma2 alias gretongan alias gratis!. Bagaimana caranya? caranya adalah gunakan fitur send gift untuk bertukar binatang/pohon. Sering-seringlah untuk bertukar hadiah dengan tetangga anda. Namun, permintaan untuk Farmville Gift hanya dapat dilakukan sekali dalam sehari dengan pemeberian maksimal untuk 24 tetangga. Triknya adalah cobalah setiap hari anda kirimkan gift pada seluruh tetangga anda dan tambahkan pesan pribadi agar mereka mengirimkan balik hadiah untuk anda. Jika anda memiliki katakanlah hanya 10–15 tetangga, maka jika mereka mengirimi anda sebuah hadiah binatang/pohon setiap harinya, anda dapat bayangkan berapa jumlah binatang/pohon yang dapat anda milik dalam waktu semingu, sebulan atau setahun!!?. Pasti banyak tentunya.

Kumpulkan berbagai macam Ribbon yang terdapat pada game FarmVille untuk mendapatkan reward beberapa XP dan ribuan coins. Ribbon berisikan bermacam penghargaan yang akan diberikan pada anda apabila menyelesaikan suatu misi khusus yang telah ditetapkan oleh game tersebut misalkan; untuk mendapatkan pita putih sebagai Good Samaritan (warga yang suka menolong) anda diharuskan menolong 150 teman anda, kemudian untuk mendapatkan pita merah Local Celebrity anda musti memiliki sedikitnya 29 tetangga dst.

Trik ini gue temuin secara ngga sengaja dan akhirnya gue namain dengan istilah trap yourself. Apaan tuh? menjebak diri sendiri? yap bener banget. Nah loh? maksudnya gmn dan buat apa?. Begini, ketika kita memulai suatu pekerjaan di ladang misalkan seperti mencangkul atau menanam tanaman atau juga memanen maka karakter yang kita mainkan pasti menghampiri (jalan) objek tersebut. Nah trik yang akan gue beritahu ini sebenarnya trik yang sangat sederhana namun akan sangat-sangat membantu buat anda yang ingin menghemat waktu.

Gimana caranya? gampang saja, hanya dengan mengurung karakter anda dengan hay bale (tumpukan jerami)/fence (pagar) seperti yang ditunjukkan pada gambar dibawah ini.

Setelah itu lakukan aktifitas seperti layaknya anda biasa main dan lihat apa yang terjadi!?

Sekian tips dan triks dari gue semoga bermanfaat buat kita semua khususnya sebagai sesama pemain FarmVille
