2.2. Challenge training
Challenge training guide

The challenge training is a way of honing your PES skills to perfection, whilst also earning points that can be used to
buy things from the PES shop.
The Training breaks down into 8 sections, with each section containing five subsections with increasing difficulty.
The sections are:
Dribbling: Dribble the ball around and between cones against the clock.
Passing: Pass the ball between players without allowing the opposition to intercept it.
Manual Pass: Manually pass the ball between cones.
Free Kick long pass: Hit free kicks at targets in the penalty area.
Free Kick Shoot: Try to hit the targets in the goal, whilst avoiding the wall.
Ball Possession: You must keep possession of the ball against an increasing number of opponents.
Attack: Score goals against the opposition.
Defence: Prevent the opposition scoring against you with a decreasing number of defenders.
Upon successful completion of each subsection you earn the following points.
1* 10 PES
2* 50 PES
3* 100 PES
4* 200 PES
5* 400 PES
Dribbling
The dribbling challenges are all about being able to
maintain control of the ball at high speed. Good players
to use are those with high dribble speed and dribble
accuracy, such as Owen, Raul, Roberto Carlos etc.
Unfortunately there are no real tricks to passing this

section; all you can do is learn the course and practice.
The 1 – 4* challenges are reasonably easy, but the 5*
challenge is the toughest one in the challenge section,
and will require patience to master.
1* Run through the 13 cones in under 15 seconds. This

course is very straightforward and shouldn’t cause you
any problems once you know where the cones are.
2* Run through the 22 cones in under 30 seconds. This course requires you to go in and out of cones, but again once
you know where the cones are shouldn’t pose you any real problems.
3* Run through the 28 cones in under 32 seconds. The courses start to get tougher, you will need to be able to

reverse direction to complete this one. Practice it a few times and you should be able to make it.
4* Run through the 28 cones in under 40 seconds. This is a tough course; from the start you are asked to reverse
direction 4 times before going in and out of cones. The last two cones are very narrow too. This course will need some
practice.
5* Run through the 31 cones in under 50 seconds. The first time you attempt this course 50 seconds will seem
impossible. But after some practice you should be able to complete it in around 1 minute. From there all you can do
is practice, practice, practice and hope you get that one

perfect run where you don’t clip any cones or stumble.
Passing
These challenges are all about passing the ball between
two or more players. Select people with good passing
stats. The trick to completing this section is to avoid
passing the ball back to the person who gave it to you. You
get more points for passing to someone who is not next to
you, and didn’t pass you the ball keep the passing simple,
don’t take unnecessary risks and you should do well. You
need to score greater than 1000 to pass each challenge.
1* pass the ball as much as you can between two players.

Simply pass the ball between your two players. Score over
24 to pass.
2* Pass the ball between 4 of your players without letting the opponent intercept the ball.
Just keep the ball moving, don’t take too many risks and this should be relatively straightforward. 31 is a pass
3* Pass the ball between 3 of your players without letting the opponent intercept the ball.
This is the same as the 2* challenge, but with 3 players rather than 4. The same advice applies here. 44 is a pass
4* Pass the ball between 5 of your players without letting the 2 opponents intercept the ball.
Keep the ball moving at all times, play simple passes, and try to pass across the circle whenever it is safe to do so.
Score over 45 to pass.
5* Pass the ball between 4 of your players without letting the 2 opponents intercept the ball. This is the same as the 4*
challenge, but as you now only have 4 players it’s harder to make the angles to pass the ball across the middle of the
circle. As before keep it simple, try to pass to the person who isn’t next to you and didn’t pass you the ball whenever
possible and don’t take too many risks. 55 should be a pass.
Manual Pass
This is the simplest and easiest of all the challenge sections. First of all change the camera angle you are using to
long. This makes it easier to judge the direction required for each pass. Then using the right analogue stick (R3), push
it in the direction you need to pass the ball in. When your happy you have the direction right press the stick down
to play the pass, a power bar will begin to rise, simply release the analogue stick to stop the power gauge and play
the pass. Be careful after the pass has been played as you can swerve the ball using the analogue stick. Aim for the
centre of the cones, and remember that the harder the shot is, and the closer to the centre the more points you get.
1000 points are required to pass each section. Any player with good passing stats is suitable for this challenge.
1* Manually pass the ball between two cones. Simply get the direction right and hit the pass as hard as you dare. Very
straight forward.
2* Manually pass the ball between two cones. This is the same as before, but you have to do it twice, once up the
screen and then down screen.
3* This is the same again, but this time you have to aim to the bottom right, then to the bottom left.
4* Again you have to pass the ball between the cones, this time you have to do it 4 times. Bottom right, bottom left,
Top left and top right.
5* The final challenge combines the first 4 in that you have to pass the ball between the cones 6 times. Left, right, up

screen, down screen, bottom right, bottom left, Top left and
finally top right.
Free Kick long pass

This is very straightforward - simply hit the target. No real
tricks or tactics you can use, just keep practicing till you
can do it. You don’t need to bother curving the ball. 1000
points to complete each stage. Players who have good
passing and free kick accuracy stats like Beckham, Figo
and Totti are a good choice for this.
1* Hit the target with the ball.

2* Hit 2 targets with the ball.
Free kick shoot.*

Depending on how good you are at free kicks, this is either
very easy, or very tough.
All you have to do is avoid the wall and hit the target in the
top corner of the goal. The harder the shot, and closer to
the centre of the target it is, the more points you get.
The best way to complete this challenge is to focus on the

challenge as a whole rather than trying to put each shot
dead centre of the target. The positions you take the free
kicks from favor different footed players. If the position is
unfavourable just try to get somewhere near the target
rather than trying to smash a shot into the top corner,
make sure you do well on the positions that favour the
player your using, and just put the ball in the net (You get 0 points if you don’t score) for the others. Any player with
high Free kick accuracy is a good choice for this.
* For more details on how to take free kicks see the free kick guide.
1* Hit the target. There is no wall.

2* Hit the target in the top corner, There is no wall. You have to hit two targets, one on the left hand top corner, and the
second in the right hand top corner.
3* Hit the target. There are 3 targets to hit this time, the first is in the top left hand corner with no wall, the second
target is in the right hand top corner, with a two man wall in the way and the third is in the top left hand corner with a 2
man wall in the way.
4* Hit the target. There are 4 targets this time, In the top left hand corner round a 3 man wall, top right hand corner
round a 4 man wall, top left hand corner round a 4 man wall and lastly in the top right hand corner, again round a 4
man wall.
5* Hit the target, There are X5 targets in this final round, all with a 4 man wall in the way. Top right three times and top
left twice.
Ball possession
This challenge is all about keeping the ball. You select 11 players and have to keep the ball whilst more and more
opponents join against you. The challenge continues until you have amassed 1000 points. The closer to the
opponent’s goal you keep the ball the quicker you earn points. The best way to complete these challenges is to
simply stay in the corners as long as possible and pass the ball when anyone tries to challenge you. Try to go from
one corner, back to the edge of the box, along the 16-yard line and into the other corner, and then repeat. Don’t pass
unless you are challenged, and be aware that the opposition players join he play from the right hand side of the pitch
(The bottom of the screen as you look at it) Select a goal keeper, and then pick the 10 best passers a team has to
offer. Brazil, Real Madrid and Manchester united are all good teas to use for this challenge.
1* Keep possession for around 50 seconds against 3 opponents.

2* Keep possession until all the opposition are on the pitch + about 15 seconds, against 5 opponents.

Attack
Starting on the halfway line you have to take on the defenders and try to score. You get points if your shot goes wide
or over, but nothing if it comes back off the woodwork or is saved. You also gain points if you are fouled, but not many.
1000 points are needed to clear each stage. The way to complete this challenge is to move the ball about. In the early
stages the defenders and goal keeper don’t press you at all so you can get a player wide and cross for a player to
score very easily. When you get to the 3* level the defender mark players so it becomes tougher to score. 1-2’s, shot
fakes and through balls are all very useful to unlock the defence, another good way to score is to drag the goalkeeper
out of position and square the ball to a free player. The 5* challenge is very difficult. It gives you one attacker against 2
defenders and a goalkeeper. This is where your dribbling and shot faking skills are needed. All you can really do is run
at the defenders and try to make them commit to a challenge so you can skip past them and get a shot on target. Be
patient and an opportunity will eventually arise. Any players with good passing and shooting skills can be used to clear
the first 4 challenges, but the final challenge requires a player with good dribbling skills, good technique and excellent
shot accuracy. Ronaldo, Owen, Raul and Totti are all good choices.
1* You have 4 attackers against a defender and a goalkeeper, and 3 attempts to score.
2* You have 2 attackers against 2 defenders and a goalkeeper, and 3 attempts to score.
5* You have 1 attacker against 2 defenders and a goalkeeper, and 2 attempts to score.
Defence
These challenges test your defensive ability. You have to prevent the opposition from scoring and then clear the ball
out of play or over the halfway line. 1000 points are needed to clear each stage. The way to clear these challenges
is to be aggressive and press the player on the ball. They do not pass the ball about very freely so if you can apply
pressure to them and make well-timed challenges you shouldn’t have any problems. Try to avoid any rash challenges,
and don’t try to dive in, as fouls give you zero points. Good players to select for these challenges are defenders who
have high Defensive stats, and good speed. Players like Nesta, Rio Ferdinand, Sol Campbell and Jaap Stam are good
choices.
1* You have 2 defenders and a goalkeeper against 1 attacker who have 3 attempts to score.
2* You have 2 defenders and a goalkeeper against 2 attackers who have 3 attempts to score.

Foreword
The master league mode (ML) involves creating and managing a team
by acquiring players to win the championship. Your team will belong to
one of the 4 regional leagues, consisting of East, west, north and south Europe. By achieving good results in the
regional leagues you will be able to enter the WEFA championship and compete against the leading teams in the other
leagues. In addition you can acquire points to provide resources for successfully managing the team. Try your best to
win games, collect points and acquire your favourite players to create an ideal team.

The game will end if your team has 16 or fewer players, if you drop to –10,000 points or less or if you have a minus
score at the end of a season so be careful.
Master league timetable

The ML mode will always begin in Division 2 (DIV 2). Your object is to be promoted into Division 1 (Div 1) and to enter
the WEFA championships and the WEFA masters cup.
Promotion to division 1.
If your team finishes first or second in Div 2 you participate in the playoffs. If your team finishes first or second in
the playoffs you are promoted to Div 1.On the other hand if your team finishes 13th or lower in division 1 you must
participate in the playoffs and will be relegated to Div 2 if you finish in third or fourth place.
Entering the WEFA championships
Your results from the previous season in Div 1 determine whether you can enter the WEFA championships. Teams
from the 4 regional leagues compete against each other for the championship. Victory in this competition gives the
winner the reputation of being the strongest team. To enter the WEFA championships qualifying round you must finish
in 3rd – 6th place in Div 1. And then to enter the finals you must finish first or second in the qualifying group. Finishing
first or second in your regional Div 1 puts you straight into the WEFA championship finals.
Entering the WEFA masters cup.
As well as the WEFA championships the teams from the 4 regional leagues also compete against each other for the
masters cup. To enter the masters cup come in 3rd or 4th place in the WEFA championships qualifying group league or
win any one of the 4 regional cups.
Master league timetable.
During the season the league and cup games take place at the same time. An off-season period lasting the equivalent
of 8 games is available when the season schedule has been completed. The off-season period can be used for player
negotiations and warm up games.
Training promising players
You can acquire and train youth players for your team. After the development period id over the player can no longer
be improved. This can be used to produce the ideal player.
Youth players can be acquired from the youth player category.
Teamwork
Teamwork indicates the level of co-ordination between players. When players first join your club their teamwork
values become vastly reduced, but they will increase once the player gets used to their new teammates. The player’s
teamwork stats will increase at different rates if he is a starting member of the team or a reserve.
Salary point fluctuations.
Salary points for players fluctuate depending on what division and ranking the players team is in. Points are added as
a team moves up the rankings.
Player condition
Fluctuations in the stamina and physical condition of players are carried across to subsequent games. Using players
who are out of condition in consecutive matches delays the recovery process, so try to remain aware of the condition
of all players as the games proceed.
Team training
Put your team through their paces in the training mode. Training gives a clear understanding of the teams overall
condition and the condition / skills of individual players. It is a vital tool for developing game strategies.

About negotiations
What are negotiations?
To create the strongest team it is necessary to acquire players from other teams and release players from your squad
whilst maintaining a balanced team. Such operations are known as negotiations.

To Propose negotiations
Begin by selecting the player you wish to negotiate with. You can carry out negotiations straight away, or keep a
record of the player on your negotiation list. Having selected a player, adjust the contract conditions, such as the
transfer points and contract period. You will receive a reply from the player’s team the following week.
Confirming the reply from your negotiation partner
When the negotiations are successful, and they are settled within the first 4 negotiating rounds of the season, or in the
off season then the player will be immediately transferred to your team. If the negotiations are settled in the 5th – 8th
negotiating rounds of the latter part of the season the player will be transferred in the off season.
When the negotiations fail
This is the end of negotiations. You can attempt to renegotiate the following week.
When negotiations are proposed by the COM
Check the negotiating partners conditions and send a reply. If the conditions are not confirmed they will automatically
cease.
When a player proposes to renegotiate his contract
When entering the off-season, proposals for renegotiations will be received from players in your squad who are
reaching the end of their contracts. Check the negotiation details and decide whether to renew their contract or not.
If the negotiations are not confirmed they will be carried out automatically and the contract will either be renewed or
rejected.
When a player proposes a free agent transfer
Since these negotiations are proposed to the player, you only have to view the negotiation details. If you do not want
to lose the player try to renegotiate his contract.
Period in which negotiations may begin.
You can propose negotiations and release players from the 13th to the 15th week (1st – 3rd negotiating rounds), the 23rd
to the 25th week (5th – 7th negotiating rounds) during the off-season period (9th – 15th negotiating rounds). The transfers
of free agents and renegotiations can be proposed between the 23rd to the 25th week, and during the off-season
period. The week after each negotiation period is restricted to receiving and sending replies.
Types of negotiations
Transfers: Used to acquire players who have more than one year left on the contract with their team.
Free agent transfer: Used to acquire players within the last 6 months or at the end of their contract period with
their team. You can propose negotiations near the end of the season within the 5th – 7th
negotiating rounds or during the off-season period. In these cases transfer points are
not needed.
Trade: Use when you wish to acquire players in return for your own players. When the player you are
offering has less points than the player you wish to acquire you must make up the difference
with additional transfer points.
Loans: Used to acquire a player for a certain time period. When this has passes the player will return
to his original team. The team the player is based with is paid points in a lump sum.
Renew: Your players can propose renegotiations in the last 6 months of their contract period. In the
off-season players at the end of their contract will propose renegotiations. Transfer points are
not needed in these cases.
Contract renegotiations used to acquire youth players: As youth players are owned by your team no transfer points
are needed to resign them.

Kinds of points
Transfer points: These are paid to teams to acquire their players. They are paid upon
concluding negotiations. Transfer points are not needed for free
agent transfer negotiations. Transfer points are also paid when the traded
players have differing values.
Loan transfer points: These are paid to teams to borrow their players; they are paid upon
concluding negotiations.
Salary points: Points paid to the players per season as salary. These are paid weekly.
Negotiation tips
The possibility for successful negotiations increases as the player’s team’s results improve. The higher the division
and the better your results the easier it is to acquire powerful players. It’s also a good idea to wait till the off-season
before attempting to sign a player used in the starting line-up of another team

5. Free Kicks & Set Pieces
5.1. Freekicks
The main buttons carry the same function when taking a
freekick as when in game i.e. [] is shoot and O is a long
pass. The following buttons maybe used to create either a
goal directly or create a chance for one of your strikers:
X – A Short Pass that can be aimed to a player using your

D Pad or Analogue Stick
∆ - A through ball to another of your players
[] – A Shot, this controlled by a “Power Bar”
R1 button – Holding (R1) whilst the shot gauge is still
visible. This, when combined with [U], results in an
extremely powerful, low trajectory shot on goal. This is a
bit hit and miss, but when used effectively it can produce
stunning results.
R2 button - Engage some power (light)
Up - Lower the vertical curve (lower and faster)
Down - Higher the vertical curve (higher and slower)
Left - Bend/Curve the ball to the left
Right - Bend/Curve the ball to the right
O – Long Pass or Cross, combine with D Pad/Analogue to change trajectory of ball.
5.2. Free kick techniques

First of all, there are 4 types of free kick types; A, B, C and D. Players are all assigned with one of these free kick
types, you can see it under their figure options.
Roberto Carlos, or instance, has type C. Type A and B are pretty normal, whilst type D is a bit unorthodox in my
opinion
These free kick types are mostly for the visual part of the free kick, the don’t really have that much to do with the
actual free kick - so all of which is explained below will work for you, whether you fancy taking your free kicks with
Roberto Carlos, Del Piero or anyone else. Here goes:
When you are taking a free kick you can alter the shot type with the leftmost control stick;
If you press is upwards when you press the shot button, your shot will be very hard and stiff, without swerving.
If you press the control stick downwards as you press the shot button, your shot will be soft, and very swerving.
Basically, if you want to master the free kick technique, you have to use he control stick. At least, when you are taking
your free kicks.
After you’ve pressed the shot button, you can make the ball curve right or left by pressing right or left. (Relative to the
camera angle you see, when you are taking the free kick - not the in game camera angle.)
Remember, if you’re player is right footed, and you try to swerve the ball to the right of him, he’ll of course make an
outside foot kick. Anyone who has ever played real life football will know this. If you take an outside foot kick, the ball
can’t swerve more then about a third of swerve that can be achieved with an inside foot kick.
ADDITIONAL FREE KICK TIPS:

- When you are taking a free kick, you can change the free kick taker, in formation mode. It’s right next to where you
set the team captain. You can do this during any deadball, and when you’re back from formation mode, your chosen
player will be taking the dead ball situation. The kicker will then be the one you’ve chosen throughout the match.
- If you press the control stick a little bit up (to make it a hard, non-swerving ball) and then gently tap the shot button,
you can take a low, hard shot that will sometimes (if you’re lucky) go under the jumping wall and right into the back of
the net.
You can also do this an inch or two next to the goal, to force the keeper to block it out, giving you a corner. (This really
puts a could chill down your buddies spines.)
PES 3 - The Complete Guide: Free Kicks & Set Pieces Page 22
5.3. Corners
We all have our own methods for corners but PES3
has given us a couple of little presents with the R1/
2 buttons, which I’m going to explore for you.
After playing obsessively all day I feel qualified to

help you chaps and chappettes with your corners,
so here’s my step-by-step guide.
1, Know your team
Know the player who is going to take the corner,

which foot he uses and mainly if he’s any good.
The best players are generally wide players like full
backs and wingers as they tend to be able to cross
a ball (exclude Ian Harte in real life) and they also
tend to be smaller, physically, and therefore not as
handy in the air. You also want to know where your
aerially supreme players are when you are ready to take the corner.
2, Think before you strike
Before blindly tonking the ball into the box, have an idea in your head what you wish to do. Know where you want the
ball to go, who to, and what he’s going to do with it, ie. Lay it off, head it back across goal or go for the head himself.
3, The near post ‘Tottenham’ corner
*hold R1 and up on the d-pad.

*held left/right depending on the swing you want, if any (ie. for an outswinger you would hold diagonal up/left).
*press O until you get no more than a third power before releasing.
For the final ‘Spurs’ touch you want a Sheringham type to head it backwards whilst your other players attack the ball.
NB. When crossing to the near post, it is difficult to score from the first header. This is because of the power you put
on from the corner and the player making the header more than likely having his back to goal. If you try to head the
ball goalwards as the ball zips to the near post, chances are it will gain height more than power.
4, The far post job
*hold R2
*held left/right depending on the swing you want, if any (ie. for an outswinger you would hold diagonal up/left).
*press O until you get no more than a two-thirds power before releasing.
This will result in a high, looping ball to the far post where you will have someone coming in to attack the ball. If you
chose an outswinging corner you may be in an excellent position to score a header, if not the best thing to do is head
it back across the goal where one of your strikers can finish it. Strikers with good reaction skills will thrive on these
corners.
These will make a good change to your uniform corner and if you hone this skill in training, it makes a great surprise
set-piece to shock a mate with.
5.4. Throw – Ins
In PES3 you control the Player receiving the
ball and NOT the thrower. By using the D-Pad/
Analogue you move the player into the area you
want to receive the ball and press X for a short
throw and O for a long one.
∆ is a through ball throw, use this by moving the

player into space and release a throw in front of
the running player. The L1 button changes the
player receiving the ball. Some players have
a star ability called “L Throw” this means they
can perform an extra long throw, select them by
pressing start and changing the thrower.
5.5. Penalties
Aim using the D Pad/Analogue and press []/X to shoot. To direct the keeper just use the D Pad/Analogue Stick.
6. Tactics & Playing Techniques
Short of coming round your house and showing you how to play, this is where you learn all the methods you will need
to beat any opponent with (almost) any team. It won’t happen overnight - it’s taken me months! - But practise often
and it will come. I have written each section so that each one corresponds to the level of skill required to win a game.
Obviously, if you’re an old hand at Pro Evo, then you might do cheeky things like rounding the ‘keeper or shooting
from 40 yards, but if this is the case then you probably don’t need any help in this department.
6.1. 1-Star Difficulty

Well, we all have to start somewhere. At this level, running with the ball trumps all other types of play due to the
defenders’ spontaneous bouts of narcolepsy. If you use a player with high dribbling stats (Owen, Babangida, Rivaldo)
then this obviously helps. What you basically want to do is run with the ball until you are just inside the penalty area,
tap (�) and hold the
d-pad/left analogue stick in the direction of the goal.
The opponent will very rarely intercept short passes, so full advantage should be taken of this opportunity. Make short
passes from goal kicks or free kicks until your star-dribbler has the ball. All that needs to be done now is to nestle the
ball neatly into the back of the net :-).
In defence, just press the player with the ball and possession should be turned over to your team with ease. Avoid
using slide tackles, as the chances are it will land you in the ref’s book.
As long as you know the basic controls for the game, you really shouldn’t have any trouble comfortably winning
games at 1-Star Difficulty. I can win a ten minute game scoring 40+ goals, so the lack of a challenge means I rarely
play games at this level. You should be too good for 1-Star within a couple of weeks of playing.

This mode is slightly trickier. Running with the ball is still encouraged, but now the defence are more vigilant in
the box. Make sure the ball is always in motion by either passing or dribbling. Try to avoid confrontations with the
opposition unnecessarily by passing early and running diagonally. Running in a straight line between the central
defenders is a no-no.
Sliding tackles need to become a part of your repertoire at this stage. You need to be able to effectively win the ball
without giving away free kicks or penalties. Make good use of any corners or free kicks and don’t be afraid of taking a
direct shot if it’s at close range. If you can, use one-twos to split the defence open for an easy chance on goal.
Take advantage of the A.I. players’ rigidity. Defensive players will converge around the ball carrier, leaving an awful lot
of space for your speedy centre-forward to dart in unmarked.
Use your full-backs to support your wingers in attack. Get your winger to lure the opposite full-back out from their
position, then unleash a through pass forward for your own full-back to run onto and make a cross.
Depending on your knowledge of football as a sport, it may take between a fortnight to a few months to perfect.

Right, this is where the difficulty curve takes a sharp incline. You can’t simply rely on running around the opposition (a
la FIFA). Instead, a certain degree of tactical nous is required to really succeed at this setting.
Firstly, you need to find out what your team’s strengths are and play your matches accordingly. For example, if you
play as Nigeria, you need to take advantage of their high speed and attacking stats by attacking constantly in a
barrage of shots and high-speed dribbling to frustrate their defence. If France is your choice then play like them and
dominate the midfield and control the possession.
Remember, if they don’t have the ball, they cannot score. Don’t be afraid to play “negative football” and concentrate
on shutting down all their attacks. Of course if the opposition’s defence is weak, then this method is not such a
good idea. If, however, you are 3-2 up with 2mins on the clock, do not bother trying to get a fourth as the resulting
counterattack could bury your lead.
Pass intelligently. Do not simply hoof the ball upfield and hope for the best. Look for unmarked players in open space
PES 3 - The Complete Guide: Tactics & Playing Techniques Page 25

and give them the ball. Take every opportunity to score and do not get cocky (rounding the keeper, dribbling in your
own box, trying to score with your goalie).
Practise set-plays often to take full advantage of the opportunity to score without any defensive pressure. I am able to
score from 80% of corners even at this level.
Switch between the flanks to confuse the opposition. This takes a bit of practise but it is a very impressive technique.
Trevor Brooking gets particularly excited about this. To switch, hold the d-pad towards the opposite flank and press the
long pass button (usually (O)) and fill the gauge until it is roughly 2/3 full.
Do all these things and before long you should be able to start taking on the big boys.

NOTE: This is what separates the men from the boys. From here on the game starts to get seriously hard! Make sure
you are a very competent player before taking this on. Simply being “good at games” is not enough, you need to think
like a footballer and play at a very good level. It took me months to get to a high enough level to play proficiently at 4
and 5 Star difficulty.
Constantly try to find methods of creating goal-scoring chances. Every pass should be forward and any confrontation
with the opponent should be avoided by passing early. Take advantage of any “star” players you have in your team.
Master the first-time pass and shot to catch your opponent on the break.
You have to make every goal scoring chance count. Do not hesitate or make too many touches with one player as
you increase the risk of losing possession. Use your own judgment to determine whether a shot is practicable and
work upon improving your reaction times to allow you to react quickly to a defensive press. Once a player within arms
length of you then you will almost certainly lose the ball unless you pass immediately.
Use feints effectively to acquire free kicks near the edge of the box. You should be able to score most free kicks within
30m of goal. Do not waste a single set piece; scoring from corners is a particularly effective way to win matches.
This is a relatively short section, but there’s a lot to learn here. Learn it and you will be well on your way to winning
regularly at this level.

Hmm, it doesn’t get much harder than this. You’ve basically got to incorporate everything mentioned before, but you
also need a bit of something I cannot teach: LUCK!
That’s right, luck. There are some games where you will do everything right, and still you will fall foul of the other
team getting a lucky deflection or a dubious penalty decision, and there is nothing you can do to avoid it! It can be
frustrating, but it creates a very realistic and tense atmosphere in each and every game.
Your best friend in 5-Star is the scanner. Using this, you can easily see where there is space for your players to run
into. It never lies! This helps because you can view areas of the pitch otherwise invisible on-screen.
As a general rule, you should not pass the ball anywhere that you cannot see on screen. So, unless you are
phenomenally talented, those 40-yard ground passes are not going to get through. Just keep it simple, and
concentrate on building up a solid attack line.
You will very rarely score more than three goals in a game, so once you have reached this amount you should
concentrate on defending your own goal, as there is nothing more annoying than throwing away a solid lead through
lapse defending.
The opposition defence are extremely efficient at shutting you down, and will do so within a second or two of receiving
the ball. Be swift in your actions, and try to hold the majority of ball possession.

Wow, there isn’t much else I can say to help you now. If you’re good enough for this level, then you already know it
all. Good luck in your matches. (you’ll almost certainly need it)
6.6. Referees
There are sixteen different referees of different nationality to choose from in Pro Evolution Soccer 3. Each Official
has his own individual style of refereeing and some can be more lenient or harsher than others. For example, what
constitutes a Yellow Card for one may be a Red Card offence for another.
6.7. List of Referees and their styles.
Phillipp Semmelweis
Moderate/Tolerant. Allows game to flow. You are likely to get
away with more fouls with this referee. He will book you for
harsher challenges but don’t expect many Red Cards to be
waved around.
William Gilbert
Moderate style. Will produce the Red Card for nastier
challenges. Allows the game to flow with use of the advantage
rule and produces a few yellow cards.
Heinrich Hausen
Lenient to moderate style of Refereeing. He does tend to let
many fouls go but will use both Yellow and Red cards for repetitive fouling or dangerous tackles. Not so harsh on the
tackle from behind but be careful.
Enrico Cecchetti
Harsh style. No messing around with this guy, as he isn’t afraid to produce the cards. Most fouls will get a Yellow but
expect a straight Red for anything sinister. Lets the occasional foul go without booking anyone but very rarely. A strong
disciplinarian.
Sergei Diagiliev
A good mixture. Lets the game flow, not prone to booking unless it’s a clear-cut foul. Will use mostly Yellows but knows
where the Red is kept for the more nastier foul.
Miguel Serveto
Harsh style. Books almost all fouls and isn’t afraid to show the Red Card at any stage of the game. Be careful if he is
the Referee as you may find several players missing.
Mondrian
Loves the Yellow Card. Lets the occasional foul go without a booking but only likely to send a man off for two Yellows.
Joseph Monnier
Consistent with the Yellow Card. Tends not to use the Red but stops play for most fouls. Moderate referee.
Pyrrhos
Very Harsh. More likely to show a Red Card than a Yellow. Lets very few fouls go without booking a player so expect
to finish the game without your full compliment of players.
Toure
Very Harsh. Shows a lot of Reds but can be very inconsistent which means it can sometimes be difficult to tell what
you are going to get. 9 times from 10 though, a foul results in a booking.

Proklos
Moderate style. Shows some yellows but doesn’t tend to use the Red Card a lot. Can be inconsistent though.
Harun
Consistent with the Yellow Card and will book most things. Only likely to send men off for two bookable offences.
Moderate style but very keen on the Yellow card.
Maya Cankoy
Harsh but inconsistent style. Tends to show lots of Reds but very few Yellows. More likely not to book someone than
flash the Yellow. Anything remotely dangerous and your player will walk.
Wu Shun-Hai
Lenient style. Doesn’t let the flow play too much with the advantage rule but doesn’t show many cards neither.
Kang Jae-On
Moderate yet inconsistent style. Shows a few Yellows and the odd Red Card but nothing too harsh. Lets the
occasional foul go without booking anyone.
Suzuki Hirohiko
Moderate to Harsh style. Will show the Red Card for dangerous tackles but can be inconsistent and use this when a
Yellow would suffice. The less contact in the foul the less chance of a card.
The option to Randomly choose your match Official is also available.

7. Camera Setup
7.1. Camera Positions
Normal Short
There are 10 different options available fro this particular Camera setup. Default option means that the camera stays
pretty central when it follows the play but this can be varied from 1-9 depending on how much of an angle you want on
play. 1 is a mild angle and 9 means that camera and angle will swing from end to end.
This camera option is the closest to the play.
Normal Intermediate
There are also 10 different scales to choose from in this camera view. Again the gradient 1-9 depends on the angle of
the camera and how much it will sweep from side to side. 1 is a mild angle and 9 means that camera and angle will
swing from end to end.
This camera option is the closest to the play.
This Camera option is slightly further away from play allowing you to be less dependant on your mini pitch.
Normal Long
As with the other two Normal options there are 10 gradients on the Camera angle but it is further back from the pitch
allowing to see a lot more of what is happening in other areas of the field.
Wide
The widest view of the pitch possible. This allows you to see nearly all the players on the screen and means that you
are not likely to use the mini pitch radar. Players appear smaller due to the camera position.
This too has the standard angle variations from 1-9 and default.
Broadcasting
Standard Television Camera view - Slightly high up from the pitch. Stays central and is one of the best views for
playing the game.
Broadcasting 2
Similar to the original broadcasting camera view but this one sweeps from side to side.
The camera stays central meaning that the corners of the pitch appear far away.
Broadcasting 3
As with Broadcasting 2 but this camera view zooms in close to the play when it is on the near touchline.
Zoom
This camera option means that you get really close to the play as it “zooms” in close and drifts out a bit depending on
the action.
Vertical Short
The view from behind the goal. This short camera view means that you get close up to the play and have to depend a
lot on your mini pitch radar.
Vertical Intermediate
Slightly further back from play but the view is still from behind the goal. A lot of dependence on the mini pitch Radar.
Vertical Long
A much wider view of play from behind the goal. As with the others, the mini pitch radar plays an important part.

9. Editing
9.1. Creating new players
In the editing section, go to create player. Then work your way through the options selecting the players name and
the players call name (what the commentator will use for that player in game). The available call names are arranged
alphabetically. If a suitable call name is not present you can choose to use the players number as his call name.
You then select the player’s positions. Whichever position you select first will be his preferred position. You then select
his nationality, favourite foot, age, weaker foot accuracy and special freekick style (A-F)
A = Default setting
B = Del Piero / Zidane
C = Robberto Carlos
D = Default Option 2
E = David Beckham
F = Default Option 3
Next set your players appearance, ability settings and special abilities then your new player is complete. You can then
stock that player into the edited players folder.
PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU CANNOT INSERT CREATED PLAYERS INTO CLUB TEAMS.
The only way to add a created player to a club team squad is to overwrite an existing player. This is the reason why
WE and PES united are in the club teams section, so that you can overwrite there players and transfer them to the
correct team.
Base Copying Players

This allows you to to select any current player in the game to use as a template for your new player. Players are
arranged by Club, National and classic teams. Any players purchased from the Shop appear under the “F” for other
player’s section. Edited players, and the default Master league players can also be base copied.
Modifying Players
This does exactly what it says. It allows you to modify the stats and appearance for any player in the game (Except for
the default Master league players). If a player has the wrong haircut, doesn’t look like his real life counterpart, or has
the wrong default position, you can change it here. You can also alter a players stats and special abilities if you feel
the need to do so.
Delete
This section allows you to delete any stocked created players.
Register player
This section is broken down into 3 areas.
National Team selection
This section allows you to alter the national team squads. Any player can be transferred into there national team.
To do this you select a national team, then pick the player you want to transfer out of the squad. Next select the player
you want to replace him with.
Club Team selection
This section allows you to alter the default starting 11 for the club teams, and also allows you to transfer international
players who do not currently belong to a club team into the chosen squad. You can also add the players bought from
the PES3 shop into club sides using this option.
To transfer international players to a club team you must select the club side you want the player to play for, then
select and unregistered block. Then select the international player you want and he will be inserted into the club side’s
squad.
PES 3 - The Complete Guide: Editing Page 31

Free Transfers
This section is the most important addition to PES3. You can now transfer players from club team to club team.
However there are certain rules to doing this.
You can’t transfer any player who is currently in a team’s starting 11, or on the subs bench directly. You must first edit
the squad so the player you want to transfer is not in the first 16 at his club. You can then transfer the player to the
correct club team.
The reason for this is that if you transferred a player who is currently in the starting 11 to a different team, this would
leave the initial team with only 10 players on the pitch, which is unacceptable.
To transfer a player simply Highlight an unregistered block in the team you want to move the player to, and then select
the player to be moved. The two then switch places. You can also do this the other way round by selecting the player,
and an empty slot in the team to be moved to.
Players can also be swapped using the same technique.
HOWEVER
No matter what you do to a player, he will always remain at his default club in the modify players section.
You can rename him, change his stats and appearance, then transfer him to a new club, BUT in the modify player
screen he will still be at his default club. His appearance and stats will be what you altered them to, but he will not
move from his initial team.

Save data management

Edited data file: Load option file from Memory card slot 2. Specified areas can be copied to the current option file.
This is potentially a very useful tool, as it allows you to transfer edited data from one option file to another without
overwriting the entire option file.
So if you download an option file, which has corrected player names, you can import that to your current option file by
going to this option, then selecting player data, and then player names. The names are then copied to your current
option file, but nothing else is altered.
You can use this feature to amend player names, player attributes, player appearances, Kits, Squad numbers, Flags,
starting 11’s, formations etc. -- BUT -- You can’t copy transfer data from one card to another. If you register a player
with another squad, then try to copy this to another option file it will not work, and the players return to there default
clubs.
Option file: Saves current option file.

9.3. Saved data management
Edited data manager
This feature allows you to copy data from a different option file to your current one. It’s broken down into two sections.
1: Player data, which allows you to copy all items, just the player names, just the player appearances, just the player’s
stats, or each team to your option file without altering anything else.
2: Team edit data. This allows you to copy such data as, all items, the flags, the strips, team information or each team
to your memory card without altering the players.
These options give you much more flexibility if you choose to update your option file, and allow you to be selective
over which areas of the game you choose to alter.
Option File
Here you can toggle the auto save function on or off, save the current option file, load a new option file, or load your
old PES2 data file into PES3. Doing this will copy any edited default player data from your PES2 option file to the
PES3 option file.
Editing Teams
This section allows you to modify the teams within the game.
For International teams, only the strips can be altered, But Club teams are fully editable, their Team name, Strips,
Flag, team colours and home stadium can all be altered.
Editing Kits
This is broken down into three sections.
1: Edit Strip. Allows you to choose the shirts, shorts and socks from the various styles available. You can also change
the kit colours. The shirts and shorts have 3 colours to play with, the first colour being the most predominant, and the
second less so, and the third is for the little details. The socks give you two colours to play with. This section also
allows you to choose the colour of the captain’s armband.
2: Name on strip. This section allows you to choose the style and colour of the lettering on the back of the shirt. Where
the badge is placed on the front of the shirt, alter the style and colour of the number on the reverse of the kit, and
change the position of the number on the shorts. All of these options can also be turned off.
3: Edit team colours

This alters the colours used by the in game radar, and is also used by the computer to prevent kit clashes.
Edit Flag
You’re initially given two options here.
1: Select a flag to use, which allows you to select an existing flag to use for the selected team.
2: Create and edit, this feature allows you to edit any of the 120 existing flags, it also gives you 64 new flags to use or
edit, as well as supplying you with a blank canvass to create your own flag from.
The following assumes you start with the blank flag.
You are given 8 slots to put icons in to create your flag, and you can also select the background colour for the flag.
Select a slot to use, and then you are given the following choices.
Select Icon: This allows you to select one of the 192 available icons.
Font: Add text to your flag, and also select the font.
Colour: Alters the colour of the Icon or Font you have chosen
Move: Allows you to position the Icon or font where you want it.
Layer Processing: allows you to select in which order the Icons and fonts are layered on top of each other. This is
related to the slot number.
Grid: This applies a grid to your flag to aid in the positioning of Icons and Fonts, there are different grids available for
use.
Clear: Clears font or Icon.

Once you have selected the icon or font you wish to use, highlight the move section and press the [] button. This takes
you to a screen that allows you to alter the size, Flip or Rotate the icon. Once you have the icon in the right place
press ∆ and select the next slot you wish to use. Repeat this process until you are satisfied with the flag.
Once finished you can save the flag to the folder and apply it to your chosen team.
