shooting and practice fifa 08

[duncsharp]

am really struggling scoring on fifa08 - and there deosnt seem to be any decent training built in..

with headers, is it the timming of the button press for the header that dictates whether it will hit the target or is it the quality of the cross / space the attacker is in?

also, long shots, is it worth usuing r1+0 (finesse) or would you just use shoot, and how do you curl shots?

sorry for all the questions, any help would be great

Thanks

Shooting = I dont bother with finesse. If you get space to shoot, hit LT (pace control) and then shoot. The more control the players has ie facing goal, correct side for favoured foot, slower approach he will be more accurate. I found just holding LT and then shooting helps a lot.


Heading = While the cross is coming over concentrate on position, you can tell which player is liekly to get it so try get goal side of defender. I think direction LS + shoot helps on headers, timing of the press does help i think.

I am the same, i can really only score very close, with assisted shooting on. Trying to score on Semi, and especially manual is near impossible, im getting quite ticked off with it now, and while i can see it will be the best football game in a year or two when they have the quality of the mini game at the start all through the game, its just not quite there yet.

Its still great fun, but its frustrating as heck.

the same as always....when you shoot...curl is determined by many factors, use the stick naturally as if it was your foot on the ball. Its hard to explain but i'm scoring some great goals on semi-pro at the mo.

Finess works well when the ball has come loose in the box and you need to steer it in..basically tight angles.

but goals are determined by so many factors....open up your game pla differently and see what happens. The arena is there for you to practise shooting, use it

yea, am finding it really frustrating to shoot, dont see how you can score on semi or manual, just impossible, but think im not holding L2 enough, which is probably screwing my accuracy,

any other tips on shooting?
