Difficulty settings, WTF?

When does Konami finally get some consistency into their game difficulty settings, FFS? It's a joke. I just played Arsenal - Barca 20 minutes on 5* and won 2-0. Barca was having one (repeat ONE) attack throughout the whole game. I thought: Well done, dude! However, then I played it on 3* and lost 0 - 3 with two idiotic fumbles by Lehmann and Barca smacking me left an right. Then I played it on 4* and it ended 0-0 with a fairly balanced and uneventful match.

So what does that leave me with? do i suck because i lost on 3* or am i good, because i won on 5*?

I know, it depends on the performance settings of each team for each individual match but what's the point of having difficulty settings at all if this is so damn random? Also, the gap between 2* and 3* seems even bigger this year. 2* is an insult, but 3* gives you a pretty tough challenge for being the next step up.

Don't get me wrong. So far i like the game (minus the usual PES ****e which has been in for years), but i want the challenge to gradually increase, so i can learn something and check my improvement, but it seems impossible with this arbitrary stuff.

Hopefully there will be mods that improve AI and/or difficulty...along with everything else. The PC version looks very much like a port of the PS2 version...which not a lot of effort was put into developing.

I'd noticed the same thing.

Started playing on 3* because I wanted to compare it with 3* on WE10 which was ridiculously easy (I won my first game on WE10 3* by 9-0...no joke....anything less than 6-0 was a failure).

But I found 3* PES6 was much more like PES5 3*, quite stuffy, not easy to score more than 1-0 wins. CPU even scored a few goals, although they were rather "scritped" and improbable.

But when I bumped it up to 5*, suddenly the game is much easier, won my first game 3-0. A few more 5* games later and decide to compare with 3* again. Sure enough, 3* seems harder.

Not that I care, because the core gameplay kinda sucks now.
