PES 2015 has finally fixed the scripting problem that plagued the series for years. There was nothing more frustrating than conceding a goal in the last second after dominating for the entire game or conceding from the kick-off directly after scoring. Team ID has relegated scripting to the bench and games no longer feel unfair. The AI doesn't cheat any more and PES 2015 is greatly improved because of it. That doesn't mean you're not not going to concede some questionable goals or be robbed in extra time, but that's the joy of football. When dominating an opponent, go for the kill. Don't automatically think the win is in the bag - even if you're two up. Teams adjust to the match as time goes on and over the course of season, AI managers will even adapt to previous encounters. Mix it up and control the pace of games. Bring on an extra centre half or maybe some fresh wingers and close out the game. Whatever you do, don't take the AI or online opponents for granted.
