Tutorial for PES 2009

PS3 / PS2 / PSP

• 1

  Control the direction your player runs in using the left analog stick. Hold it to the left, your player will move to the left; right, your player moves to the right; and so on.

• 2

  Pass the ball with the "X" button, cross the ball using the "O" button, play a through-pass using the """ button and shoot for goal using the square button. There is a power bar on the shot and cross, so be careful how long you hold the button in for when carrying out that action.

• 3

  Make a standing tackle by pressing the "X" button when you are near an opponent and make a sliding challenge using the "O" button.

• 4

  Hold down "R1" ("R" for PSP) to sprint in the direction you are moving. Sprinting is a key aspect of getting away from your opponent in PES 9. Bear in mind this will tire your player out quicker, so sprint sparingly.

• 5

  Press the "L1" ("L" for PSP) to switch between players.

Xbox

• 6

  Use the analog stick on the left of your Xbox controller to move your player. The 360 degrees capabilities of the analog stick ensure maximum maneuverability from your players.

• 7

  Press the "A" button to make a short pass when your player has the ball, and press the "B" button for a long pass or a cross ball. The right analog stick also acts as a manual pass--simply flick the stick in a direction to make the pass. The "X" button is to make a shot on goal, and the "Y" button plays a through ball.

• 8

  Press "A" when on defense to make a standing tackle or block; "B" makes a sliding, more dangerous, challenge. If you are in your own territory, then "X" will make a long clearance, and "Y" makes your goalkeeper rush from goal if your team does not have the ball.

• 9

  Press the right bumper while making your player run in a direction to make the player sprint--but this will tire the player out more quickly.

• 10

  Succeed in several tournaments to enhance your game. Win the African Cup Of Nations, American Cup, Asia-Oceania Cup, and European Cup in League/Cup mode to unlock classic players.

PC

• 11

  Press the arrow keys on your keyboard to control the direction your players run. If you combine this with the "E" key, then your player will sprint.

• 12

  Make a standing tackle when on defense by pressing the "X" key and make a more foolhardy sliding challenge by pressing the "D" key.

• 13

  Attack by pressing "A" to shoot, "B" to make a cross or a long pass, "W" to make a through pass and "X" to shoot at goal--be wary of the power bar with the latter.
