How is the form decided?????

[JonnyDp]

Is it completely random or do other factors effect things?

I don't think that the performnance in the last game has any baring on it, but do the players' stats?? Are certain players more prone to blue or white arrows than others?

I think it would be good if they changed during the game - the AI of some players certainly seems to adapt. For example your OH, if he gets a goal, you can't stop him pushing forward. Play doen the left too much (like I do sometimes) and the players on the right wing hang back too much etc.

1 question for you - Do you ever play someone on a Grey arrow??

Form appears to be decided randomly

The reason I say that is because if you are playing Master League and save the game after a few matches. Start playing another match and check out the form of your players. Then quit the match and reload the game at the same point and start that same match again - te form of the players is completely different now - in other words, it seems to be randomly generated.

This is a shame and it's one of the improvements I'd like to see in future PES games. Form should relate to various factors...

confidence should improve if a striker is on a rich scoring vein

if a player has been playing too many games, his form may did through weariness

the general confidence of the team should improve if they are on a winning run, likewise it should dip if on a losing run

a player who is dropped for a bad performance may lose confidence and form

players who have not been played for a few weeks should take a few games to regain full match fitness and mental awareness

the obvious stuff really....PES doesn't appear to include this

I have played players with grey down arrows and whilst they tend to wander out of position and be genreally less enthusiastic, I have still on occassion scored with them....an off form Robbie Fowler is still way better than Heskey on top form (in real life, not neccessarily in PES)
