I love doing the little chip shots during penalties

Do these only go straight now?

You used to be able to do them left or right last year and it was a guaranteed goal unless your OP realised you were doing a slow shot.... now all they do is go straight :confused:

Also can anyone help with

Also where do you go to save the replays? I can't seem to find anything to press or do when in replay editor to save them

Thanks

Haven't tried that, is it just the usual buttons to lob?

Yup

You can also do finesse penalties

I know, I have only been able to do them straight.

Whats the deal with the leagues online, do you just join one and start playing? Ive only really played single player ranked matches so far.

Do we have enough guys that would want to play a league? We could get one in before PES comes out in a few weeks.

So do you just belt them full power and hope they go in or what?

And everyone 1 in 20-30 goes in?

I'd say it's a lot more than 1 in 20/30 shots, maybe 1 in 4 or 5. It's not full power, it's just shy and run trigger is 1/2 pressed. Catch them right and they go in.

Go into your settings from the main menu, there is an Xbox Live section where you have to agree to some terms and conditions. You will see a screen where you enter your username (e-mail) and password, you change these to whatever you want. You will again agree to some terms and conditions and you are now registered on EA Sports World website.
When you score, press start and go to 'Instant Replay' and there will be an option to upload ('Y' Button) and it will upload it to EASW where you can login and download it, then share it with us.

Where do you retrieve your saved goals from, got a beauty from Rooney saved. Can't find a link anywhere on the EA site.

EDIT

Found it eventually, here it is, reminds me a little of his goal aginst Newcastle:

Nice goal Nokkon

Why does every goal that hits the bar and goes in look fantastic?!

Love it!

Was going to ask you last night, you did a lot of pass the ball and run I never seem to be able to do it. Do you have New Analogue button config? What do ypu press to pass and run like on PES?

Metalface Mark · 8 Oct 2007 at 14:56

you hold left shoulder pad when you pass, my game has improved massively since using that. I managed a one two from defence to goal with my two central defenders

inferno · 8 Oct 2007 at 16:08

Are the adboards real or are they just fair play blah blah blah?

Is that with New Anaolgue?

Also, is there a way to change the default control settings of controller 2??

You're right, for some reason when it smacks the bar on the way in it makes the goal look a lot more spectacular. Wouldn't have even been save worthy but for that, as it is it's the best goal I've scored on it so far.

I've always found one-two's very useful, even when you don't take up the return pass your opponent is still aware of the runner so it can create space either way. As has been said it's just LB + pass, using the normal controls, haven't touched any of the controller settings yet.

Couple more goals:

Nothing special about this one, I just liked the little back heel pass that Rooney does in the build up.

Andybtsn · 8 Oct 2007 at 23:16

I've started doing the Challenges, they have FIFA:WC Scenarios all over them...Unfortunately these may make me hate FIFA again!

Vowed to never buy a FIFA game after them scenarios on the WC game!!

Only the Wii version is like that. The PS3 and Xbox360 versions aren't.
