Free kicks

Can someone give me some tips on free kicks and scoring with them. I am new to WE8 and love the game, won't go back to FIFA but i have been training with free kicks but haven't been able to score with them

Yeah....i find when the power bar is going up i hold the direction i want it to curl, i.e. left or right.
Then give it just above half power. And as the player is running to kick the ball i hold the diagonal of the direction I am bending it, and down to get the dip on the ball so it doesn't fly over the bar.

Hope that helps.

here are some tipS. I can't exactly tell u how to do it like this but.. (i am da best in fouls and free kicks:d)

when u are on a distance from 18 to 20 i would suggest to use curling and the down button. So he will do a soft shot with curl in the corner over the wall. Make sure the power is exactly on mid or a bit down depends.
20-24 u can do it just with curl nothing else. 24-30 use up button and some curl if u wish.30-42 use R1+up+curl? if u wish
42 goes for me with Pavel :D
I dunno who is the best for every distance but i would say that ur best bet for 18-20 and 20-24 is del piero. I've only tryed him and sniedjer lately so i dunt remember who is good free kick taker. For over 30 go for someone like Nedved or Adriano.

I always prefer put curl in my fouls. If u want to explain smth better just tell me.

One more thing that i shouldn't say maybe some of u know but it's my secret. I score goals with O plus up button from 43 mettres when i am on the sides. This is probably a bug or i dunno most times the ball curcled and keeper lost it because nobody headed or theball comes trhough keepers handS! (cough lehman)
Good luck.

I find it best to use R2 or Down Arrow + direction when near goal, and R1 or Up Arrow + direction when far from goal.

ok, so what do you guys mean "down arrow"? there are no arrows on my gamepad =)

i've been playing the WE/PES serries for 2 years and i have only scored on one free kick. I've also never seen the cpu score on free kicks. Do they ever?

HA no arrows?! Ok then use the button u use to make the player go back? I may make some videos for u if i have time. probably this weekend.

ur best bet is to get to training with a good free kick taker. Select Free training and then Free kicks select the distances i mention above and try to do it. U can have windowed mode to see what to do everytime. (windowed pes)

Erm depends on the system i rarely use that because for me it is a sure goal there but when u are on about 20 mettre u may just tap a bit O to send the ball over the wall most times on of ur attackers follow then depends on how u control it u can get a goal. Power Bar : __O______|________
Tap the power with O there that will chip the ball over wall.

For a foul on 17-20 mettres tap [] _______[]|_______
NOTE that if u tap it and then again and again till u reach | where u want ur shot power to be it will go lower and sometimes it will hit on the wall depends on the power u've putted. Most times it will be good to do 2 taps like this ___[]_____[]|________
first tap on the | or a bit lower.
leave it
and

Well did my best but i am sure a video would be the best. well i can record and add some info though i got 64 kbps and my upload is not very fast :(
Maybe from my fathers school they have 128 kbps but they dun pay so i will see there.

Oh and i just saw. Dominator nice foul but that won't work more than 40 % all the time. That was more of a luck that the keeper send the ball in. The way i described will send the ball near the corner of the post and as the ball will advance it should lose altitude. 98% working ;)

I have only ever scored one and it was the same as yours where it comes back off the keeper into his own net.

Janer u idiot. I just try to save u. If u post double posts u will probably get ur self banned. And don't call me noob idiot i know 100 more things than u know about PES. my post that says as a mod that i am to stick to rules and my opinion to dominator is not spam neither the time that i gave to explain to a board member how to take free kicks. Noobster.

1. To thomasd21:

An important point to note about free kicks is the ability of the player who's taking them. Different player seem to have different ways of making moving the ball. I'm not sure if this is just a feeling or actually true, but still, that's how it feels to me. So, try with different players and see whose style you're most comfortable with. And then practice a lot with that player. Eventually, you'll start to get a feel of how much power and movement in what situation.

2. To gian:

I don't see how Janer double posted. He simply wrote two different replies to two different people. Sure he could have done it in one post, but, two posts make it much clearer. If you're genuinely concerned about post boosting, there are much worse culprits out there and you know that.

Thank you, I am here over 4 years and have always behaved well including never spamming and the only time I will have someone else tell me what to do is by a Moderator.

Just call a second player, and let him give a short pass, and fire the ball in the opposite corner, like this:

Free Kick Ronaldinho

It can take a while before the movie will play, but its well worth it (H)

for ur reference i am moderator. And i just told him to do that as kind as possible. Ominous u see. In ur own reply u say to .... : and to : .... u didn't do a double post. ;) that's why there is an edit button.

Oh and someone wants me to name the 100 more things. This is impossible because whatever i say u can say u know it and u will go to a nice tricks site and learn them :)
Though i play PES since ISS on ps1.

I played ISS on emulator.
