Does any1 can explain what keyboard is for what in FIFA 2003??
I have noticed that run is not at "W" as it was, but is on "E", with "W" in attacking mod U R just pushing the ball in "free space", but in defend mod your goalkeeper is running...
I think that would be nice that somebody explain which key is for which action (separately for attack/defend)

Thanx in advance for the most users...

 

[Lipec]

So far figured

Attack:
SHIFT = accelerate (Also U can that with "E" - I donno is there any difference)
"W" = put the ball in free space in direction where you push direction keys
"E" = running
"A" = long pass
"S" = direct pass
"D" = shoot
UP,DOWN,LEFT,RIGHT ARROW = for direction...

I have read somewhere on forum that U can curve pass or shot when U press UP or DOWN afther the shoot, but I donno do is work...

Defend:
SHIFT = your player stop (???)
"W" = running with goalkeeper
"E" = running
"A" = start in direction where you push direction keys (like to be a foul or even miss ball and opponent player...)
"D" = taking ball from opponent

HEADING: When the ball is in the air U can head it if U press "W" abd direction key.

If anyone alse know something else, please replay here...

hey , i thought that everyone would know the spacebar function. if anybody doesnt know , well the if u press the spacebar the player pushes the ball forward (or the direction in which u r in pushes the ball in that direction ) and then suddenly sprints forward which is used to fool defenders .

actually i wanted to say that that above method along with the "W" button i.e free pass give u the best chance to score goals .

btw i have found how zidane does his 360 degree spin (though let me assure the buttons) . i did it twice but i dont remember properly the buttons .it was very complicated . i'll tell u ppl later .

I think Space and Shift does the same thing - the guy pushes the ball forward and if u know how, u can also try some tricks with arrow keys. The strange thing I've noticed - when u push the ball forward a few times the player suddenly stops running and dont want to move. I know he's becoming tired (fittnes bar) but it's weird and I always loose the ball when he does it

yup! thats SH!t . even with the sprint bar it happens sometimes . . one more thing i' ve noticed is that when the cpu gives a free pass to the striker , the striker sorta walks easily towards the ball & its easy to take away the possesion from the cpu

SHIFT does special moves and sprint.. as in push the ball forward..yeh i noticed zidane "freestyle" move is the 360 spin which i have used to score some goals...

press shift near opposing players and the player will do a shimmy or other moves.. if ur lucky u can get pass them

 

[Lipec]

Does anyone know the functions of Z,X and C button???
I have read somwhere that if you use this button together with SPACE or SHIFT u can perform some tricks...
I have tried but ...
Can enyone explain how to make some tricks???

 

[Lipec]

OK.
SHIFT is the KEY for tricks...
Press SHIFT and direction key will mostly make your player to push the ball and make the fast sprint, but...
If U make it in the RIGHT MOMENT (when oponent player is near or in front of you) you WILL make some trick. I have noticed that every player has his own trick(s).
Zidan will make 360 degree spin, Ronaldo will step on ball with right leg, then quickly push it with left and then sprint (while oponent player will stop)... Most player will just try to fake direction of his heading and then quickly go to the other side...

I have olso make some "air tricks", but it was accidently so I donno how I did it... I like it, but I cant expalin what do you have to do and WHEN, cuz the right moment is VERY important.

If anyone can explain more... please help.

P.S. Does anyone know how to make right or left spin (curved ball) on the free kick or corner kick??

 

[duongtoan76]

I have hardtime with the new keyboard control mapping. i.e. I used to press W to sprint then E for some trick then D to shoot the h e l l into the net. Now I press W then it pushed the ball away. Do you think remapping has more advantages?

 

[Charlie]

What aboout the one-two pass??

We 've been using the space bar, in order to make the one-two pass.
Any ideas about that??

Z, X and C? R U sure?

I'm gonna have to try it out. Does anyone know if he's right?

One more thing - How the hell can you possibly succeed with the long ball? I've tried it a million times and it hasn't worked once. The CPU always catches it, even in amature level.

Don't forget Charlie's question - What about 1-2's?

P.S - Charlie, How did you get that goal video signature?

 

[duongtoan76]

yeah i ve been using space bar for 1-2 (wall pass). Not yet figured out what is now

Hi.. IMO the A button for long ball can be effectively used after you make your player running (using button Q). For example, if you're somewhere in the middle of the field, after a few passes that can move your opponent players out of their marking, you can now send your player running down the flank and hit the A button with timely precision and you can have a nice piece of attacking move.

Longer passing, for example from the edge of your penalty area to your attacker will have a different effect though as you need to pass to someone who is unmarked or the least you can do is to win the ball with a header.

Have fun!! I'm having a lot of it!

I've read somewhere that there wont be a seperate key for 1-2 passes u have to do it urself.

 

[tinu_karki]

Hey Toan and Charlie,
How did u guyzz manage to do the 1-2 pass with the spacebar?
i pass space and it does the same thing az the shift btn. Do u pace space and another key together??

No, I am not sure about that Z,X and C button... I've read somwhere that you can use this button but there is no efect in my case...

Also - Does anyone know how to curve the freekick? I have, somekind of red marker at ball, when I can shoot directly to goal. Somethimes it's flash red, then stoped. It's look like it's marker for curving the ball, but I donno how to use it...

Anyone know anything about curving the ball???

About long pass:
Yes - press "Q", the some of yours forward player will start to running, then use "A" for long pass. BUT! I will sugest you to try with "W" instead of "A". It will make a "ball in free space", but your player is on this way already (use it when you are about 30-40 meters from opponent goal - your player will mostly go alone in front of goalkeeper, then just use "D" and score). I have scored so many goals with this tactic and this work even against "Worldclass"!
