DOES THE SETTINGS THAT I USE IN MY SNGLE PLAYER GAME WILL BE THE SAME ON THE LAN WHEN I PLAY AGAINST AN OPPONENT?

Anonymous, if you can ping each other, you can connect using your real IPs.
dragon, on which settings are you talking about?
If you’re talking about formations, you can using Network Options on the Network menu.

hey FoxHound me and my friend is having a problem with this…….
we followed those steps and we got all the way up to the part where he has made a server and he is just waiting for me to enter his game
i can see his room listed under Friendly match column but when i click on it to enter….. the message “acessing” apears for 10seconds and I get another message that says “your connection has timed out”
After this, I made a server and he tried to enter but he was confronted with the same error
please help us ASAP

* dude, most of the chances are that you haven’t established the connections using in PES Magazine, try again.
* jay, Unfortunately, this method is not 100% perfect. I too, encountered this problem versus specific players and haven’t found a way to overcome it.
Try disabling security applications like antivirus and firewall and try again.
* haresh, You can type any password that you like, just check the “Save your password” option for PES to remember it and that’s it.

I’m not sure, I do encounter ping problems myself.
I don’t know what causes them.
The game itself, the launcher or some other app.
Sorry I can’t be more helpful.
