Re: Why is a header shot a manual but a header pass an assist?

@Utility13 It’s why people opt out of the header and pass then shoot. But the more important question is why is offense not all manual.

    I truly believe the game would be an absolute mess online full manual. EA should have forced this back when Tactical Defending was introduced. It's too late now with the way the game and patterns of play is ingrained. Full manual would just look silly with 2 yard passes missing the targets and tap ins being constantly squandered. Just my thoughts.

    As I said before, Manual back on PES 3,4,5,6 and 2008 wad good. EAs full manual does not stack up to that quality.

    Everyone has the same tools regardless in attack. Headers are possible and I see plenty fly in. There is an art to it but it's achievable. 

    You wouldn't see much in the way of this game on Twitch on full manual.

    @blue166 They are slowly doing it. With the master switch and making things manual. I believe they are forcing precision shooting in pro events.

    I don’t really like the thinking it’s never been or will be hard. If that’s the case might as well make defense not manual or easier.

    At least they are starting to add it in pro events because it doesn’t make sense to have a competitive mode and offense isn’t manual.

    Thanks for the replies, both of you.

    It is true that full manual is difficult and unrealistic, but the effect of assistance should be eliminated as much as possible. This game relies too much on assists, I doubt to me that the competitive nature makes any sense.

    I think semi should be the default setting for at least all online modes.Semi requires a little more precise input than assisted. but it's not as difficult as manual. so once you get used to it. it's no problem.

    There was talk of a pro event. It is very interesting that shot assists were banned in pro event. This is a good sign. I hope that in the future, passes will also be forced into semi.
