The days of jamming the sprint button and blitzing around the pitch like roadrunner are gone in PES 2015. Good riddance too. Every year, football games have suffered from almost superhuman stamina issues but thankfully, stamina has also been totally changed this year. If you want to succeed in PES 2015, you need to condition yourself and learn to play football games properly again. Unless you played the series back in the glory days of PES 4 & 5, chances are every football game you've played has been dominated by unrealistic speed and acceleration. Don't go near the sprint button unless absolutely necessary. Similar to slide tackling, sprinting around the place will yield the worst possible results on the pitch. Conserve energy and work the ball. Don't chase it unless pressuring an opponent, if it opens up and wait for a chance to present itself before turning on the speeders. Remember, it only takes a few seconds to score and by managing energy, the chances of scoring in the last ten minutes are massively increased.
