FIFA 2003 Tricks

Hi all soccer fanatics

Can anyone of you tell me how to do tricks. I am doing a league with FC Basel (Swiss league) and I got no clue how to perform any trick. I know I could do with the right analog stick, but nothing happens at all. The control seems to be pretty bad I think!

Could it be that FC Basel players are just too bad in this game to do tricks in the game and only the big players like ronaldo and so on are able to do spins?

just email me yoursolutions if you have:

player specific tricks

I think the special tricks players do (i.e not knock ons) are specially assigned to them. Seba Veron and Mendieta both turn so they have thier back to the ball, then spin round while rolling the ball under thier foot. Del Piero does a really cool shimmy/stepover, and Ronaldo does a stepover with his right foot, and knocks the ball on with his left, while his legs are crossed over (sorry if that didnt make sense :crazyboy: ) I havent been able to get the players mentioned above to do any more clever tricks, so I think they only have one special move exluding the knock on.

wasn't confusing to me, but that's because i've seen all of the moves you mentioned. :D

this game is so very cool, i did my first overhead kick for a goal last night with Anderson of Barca. it was off of a corner kick, it hit off of the top crossbar, and went in...w00t! i did it by repeatedly pressing the LOB button (which is Square for you PS2 players). try it out for yourself, good luck!

have looked thru but sorry if this has been said before.

the only 'tricks' and i use the term lightly is the evasion ones, like pushing the ball ahead spining around a defender etc.

is this pretty much it but done in different ways or are there show off moves for different circumstances?
oh and i've also managed to get him to dummy goign one way then gone the other by press sideways to way your running with space, but still hardly tremendiously skillfull.btw im using the pc version.
still a cool game though, learning a bit more every time im on it.

Does anyone know how to do:

a) Fast, low shots?
b) Strong headers/volleys?
c) To garuntee how to do volleys/headers? (I can do them most of the time, but it seems like theres no surefire way..)

Ive done fast, low shots before, but when I tried to do it again, they went high...:f***:

oh and how the :f***: do you do the dummy thing everyones on about? (you're meant to pass the ball to a player, and press the run button at the right time?) Maybe its me, but i cant do it...I blame the analogue shoulder buttons :crazyboy:

3 weeks playing and only 1 trick. Seems that doing a trick will take a while. I do shapes like circles, squares, triangles, etc. (PS2) and nothing happens. Plus, i have yet to score a goal from a header :confused:

To score from a cross, u have to press the "trigger run" button ( L1 in ps2 and q in PC) when your crossing player is almost in the ideal spot to cross. Only cross if your receiving player is in front of his defender ( almost a 100% goal if no one blocks your cross). If there are 2 players running in the box, trying 2 recieve the cross, tap the lob button 2 cross the ball 2 the nearer player and hold it a bit longer 2 corss 2 the further player. Hope this helps;)

to score with a overhead kick from a corner, aim the corner to a guy at the first post and repeatedly tap the cross button with your direction to the upperfar corner.

Does anyone now if tapping the freestyle button or holding it down make any difference. Because when I double tap it and press forward almost every player does a shimmy then sprints but when I just hold it he starts sprinting right away. So probably there is more moves if it makes a diffrence.

You all have to admit though that this made the game so much more interesting. I mean if they told us all the moves in the manual how much fun would it really be.

I have almost i think learned how to do most tricks! I've done the DUmmy thing a couple of times as well when I Didn't want to do it!! So RIght now The only thing im mostly concern with is how do you do POWERFUL but LOW shots..

AS i haven't seen any? and will be hugely disappointed if its not possible.. because in real life u see a lot of them but in this game.. the more you hold the SHoot button.... the Higher it SEems to go..

As for Freekicks.. im gettin closer and closer , yesterday i did this one with Guardiolla (Spain) where everything was perfect.. it was curlin to post.. going above the wall's head.. very soft not Blastin but at the end.. it went just ONE Milimeter above the BAr.. so right now im having hard time.. gettin MY perfect FReekick ON TARget.. it seems to always go aBOVE the bar... but its Fun

THis is a GREAt game.. and if nebody can reply with solutions to my problems i'll very highly appreciate it.

Yeah, I have the same problem with the Freekicks.The ball always goes over the post but sometimes I hit the goalie!I've scored twice (I don't know how) with Roberto Carlos and the goals wre very nice!
 

tottiiii

Starting XI
well i dunno how many "tricks" i know how to do or not but in regards to the freekicks i dont see why a lot of people are having trouble...ive scored tons of goals from freekicks as far out as 45 yards i think....only thing i dunno how to do is the dummy thing...dunno how that works but ill keep trying....also i have zidane and totti on my team and i was wondering if besides there own special moves they have (zidane does that spin with the ball and i think totti steps over the ball or something like that) are all the rest of there skill moves the same? im just using zidane and totti as an example....just curious

Yes but the Freekick ur talkin about which u have no problem with :rolleyes: is just SMASHing the ball hard with NO CUrve and make it stop on the GREEN..

THats really to score with.. as long as its clear of the wall and its on tArget.. those will be come gOALs..

THe reason we're havin problems with scorin NICE freekicks like the CURling thing Beckham does.. is because to me it seems it always is a inch higher than we want it.. no matter how LOW i take the Circle thing...
