The Perfect Team
This is the fourth PES guide released by Piggyback, and we feel that it’s the strongest we’ve created to date. The whole purpose of the guide (and the accompanying Coaching DVD) isn’t just to show you how to perform moves, or use specific features: it’s designed to broaden your playing horizons, to offer inspiration on different ways to approach each match.
It’s not our goal to “solve” PES, because it’s really not that type of game. We offer hundreds (perhaps thousands) of insights, tips and techniques, and we wouldn’t claim that any one is truly indispensable – you don’t need to even touch the tactical options at the Formation Settings screen to enjoy a match, nor have an encyclopaedic grasp of button commands for advanced tricks and techniques to win one. But whenever you have a question, or a desire to improve your game in some way, large or small, we’ve got plenty to say on all the subjects that matter.

“This guide covers EVERYTHING”
“As a seasoned Pro Evo player having played the game since it was on the PS1, I was expecting to be able to learn a little from this guide. Let me explain something about Pro Evo; the depth of the game is what makes it better than all the rest and this guide covers EVERYTHING. It has common sense, easy to follow advice for the newcomers, stats and details for the more dedicated and analytic players, and plenty of useful nuggets even for people who think they know it all. This guide is a treasure trove and if you are serious about enhancing your enjoyment of by far the greatest football sim on any console, then buy this book. Heck, buy 2 just to say thanks.”

“A treasure trove of useful info”
“I’m a relative newcomer to PES, having been introduced to it by a couple of my friends about a year ago. Sick of being humiliated 7-0 or at best 6-2 by both of them i decided to pick up this guide with my new copy of PES. Quite simply, it’s a treasure trove of useful info to the PES newbie and i’m sure even the most seasoned pro would find at least a handful of useful tips. There are chapters on everything from general movement, defensive play, stats (and exactly what they translate to on the pitch) to the most unique tricks for the best players – all of which have the command list for PC/PS3/Xbox in table format. Presentation is excellent, chapters are easy to locate, great diagrams, every page has proved a revelation to me. I had no idea how many options were available from a free kick, the answer is loads! On top of this mountain of information, you get a fantastic DVD which shows you all the moves, tricks and strategies. I watched about an hour of it yesterday and spent a further couple of hours honing my new skills on the training ground. It will take me months to digest all this but I genuinely feel like this has improved my game already and that, ultimately, is the aim of any guide. Full marks.”
