I have played PES for the past eight years but finally decided to give FIFA a go and I quite like it... could do with some tips though, so if anyone else has converted from PES to FIFA then please feel free to add any advice.

Things I'm struggling with are corners, free kicks and especially crosses... I hit the cross button and no matter how far down the wing I am I just seem to play the ball forward like a long ball.!!!

I will more than likely still buy PES when it's released too, but enjoying FIFA in the meen time.




One more thing - is it me or is the background screen in FIFA just a screenshot of the default PS3 wallpaper?
 
i've converted from pes to fifa after 4 years.

the first thing i would look at is the control scheme. which one are you using? if you change it to alternate, then the controls will be the same as pes.

i've had no problems with crossing. free kicks i'm still getting to grips with and corners...well, i've scored from one so far!
 
Same myself except Im fine with corners and crossing, its just I cant run around a player, I HAVE to pass the ball if I come anywhere near the opposition at the moment otherwise they just walk off with it.
Really need to play a bit more and learn how to get around opponents, shooting is also dire for me at the mo, 15 attempts and 1 goal normally!
 
I'm still struggling with free-kicks, corners im doing alright with now and get some nice curve with the likes of Gerrard etc, try altering the assistance settings to see what you like best (lots of CPU assistance or little). Also when taking on a man, try using the right stick to tap the ball past him before running past, works well with fast wingers.
 
Sounds like you aint pressing the cross button joe, remember if you are using the standard FIFA controls, then it is the O instead of square to cross.
 
Thanks for the advice everyone. Still playing it on PC at the minute but I'm planning on buying it for PS3 (will probably get PES on PC though due to superpatches ;)) - I am using a Logitech Rumblepad 2 so there was no option for standard or alternate controls so I had to set them up myself. I will double check that I have it setup correctly.

One thing I have noticed though is that it used to be 'X' (or similar) to chase down the ball in PES but I have to press '[]' in FIFA - is this the same on consoles?
 
Ah, I figured out what it was - I had corners and through balls set to manual... sorted now though :D
