I havent got the new one yet, but I've been playing today for about an hour solid the practise mode in the vain hope that I would suddenly be able to score a couple of goals on the odd occassion from a free kick.

How many did I score in an hours practise?

None. :mad:

What on earth am I doing? I've tried applying curl, feigning the direction of the shot from left to right and varying the position the freekick is from but every time the goalie gets it. I've had a couple of the post/bar but none have gone in yet.

Is it really that hard or am I missing something? :confused:
 
I can't even score from open play at 1 on 1 with the keeper.

Correction, I can't even score from open goals.

Reason?

No matter how i shoot, the ball KEPT on going over the bar, I mean how lightly do I have to tap X to keep it down? I've been playing it on Beginner and have like 50 openings per match or something silly, 99% clean through on goal with only the keeper to beat from 6 yards out, BOOSH, Row Z !

You sure your player isn't off balance or you're shooting when the ball is right under his feet?

Run straight on goal, then i let go off the sprinting and walked in straight from the edge of the box into about the penalty spot and press X. BOOSH, Row Z.

No holding down button of any kind, just a tap.

Does the power bar go to full even if you tap it? Maybe theres something wrong with your controller.
 
The pad isn't broken, works fine on every other game, even tried placing the shot with the RT button, except it place it in Row Y this time.
 
I can score fairly well in normal play, I cant do the tricks very well but my shooting is reasonably accurate, it's just free kicks (not penalties, like my title says).

There must be some tactic that I'm missing out, as it seems nigh on impossible!!

I am not doubting you for a second, but if I do that it will not go over. Expecially when using RT. RT + Tap + up or down for direction = Goal 75% of the time.
 
Freekicks arent easy to score, you need the right player and generally can only be scored from just about outside the area. You may get lucky and smash one in from close range, but generally you'll sky the ball or it wont have time to drop before going over the bar. Freekicks from distance (much further out than just outside the box) are generally a waste of time as its difficult to get the power into them to even worry the keeper. You're better off just playing a two man free kick from there and try to take advantage in that way.

From just outside the area with the right player you want just under half power and then apply liberal amounts of curl and dip.

Ive scored quite a few in online play with Beckham (England) and Gerrard (Liverpool), gets fairly easy to at least get on target after a while.

You blatently just fail Raymond.

never had a problem, it does take a bit of getting used to though, but always found it a good system to shoot.
 
I've scored a few more last night, but still 50% goes over, more so with RT + X. The hardest thing is actually keeping the ball down on the ground, most goals goes to the top corner as i just can't keep the power down.

Haven't scored a lob/chip yet, the CPU keeper never rushes out, even on 1 on 1.

Chips are very difficult, its not just about the power meter but also how long you hold LB or RT down, think ive probably only ever scored two proper chips online.
 
I know you meant free-kicks but has anyone noticed that the AI keeper never saves penalties if they're hit low down the centre?
 
only free kick i scored was a long high cross that dipped in the corner my opponent said it was the luckiest goal he had ever seen

when i try to use the shoot button at freekicks i can get the goalie to make a save by holding right trigger and watching my power but cant score getting closer but

in general play it is sort of similar hold right trigger a little and dont hit x to hard helps if you slowdown and set your self

as for penalties i blast them pick a side hit x dont bother with the power bar right trigger

So I can HOLD RT and tab X ?

I tried that, and more frequently it goes over the bar. Still can't slot a sidefoot to the bottom corner. :(

Have you got Cross and Shoot switched round or something?

I know the shooting in PES6 was dodgy at times, but from what you're saying it really sounds like you're pressing the wrong button.
