wot problems do u find with free kicks, u cant keep it low enough? or you hit the wall a lot? when close in i look it the gap between to heads and try to get it through there, i always press forwards when i take a free kick aswell then change to a diagonal to get swerve

i was playing my mate today, i had a free kick from 20m, i put Roby Carlos on it for a laugh, i ripped it over the wall, it smashed off the cross bar, flew up in the air out of sight, and came back down about half way back up the field in their half! LOL

I generally shoot it over the goal more than I hit the wall. When I do try to curl it into the corner, it always hooks too far and either goes wide or straight to the keeper.

you should look for the gap between 2 heads, press forward, then diagonal to how u want to swerve it, u should then get it to dip enough to go in

grrrr
today again I hit the post from 38 meters with Batistuta, 2-3 weeks before I had hit the post from 40 meters, grrrr

I've scored from 34m with Rosicky.

So far from memory I've scored about 6 with Zidane, and 1 with Kewell, Rosicky, Eusebio, Recoba, Totti, Harte, Carlos and Ye Chang (!)

I was playing against France with China for ****s and giggles, and I got a free from 28m, and I think..why not? And Ye Chang went SMACK! past Barthez. I was gobsmacked..

So, if Im to understand some of the previous posts correctly, pressing forward puts topspin on the ball to make it dip under the bar? With that in mind, can you take more powerful shots?

I've only been using the left and right directions for curve. It seems that I have to hit the ball very softly to keep it from going over the bar. Getting off a real cracker didn't seem possible, but perhaps it will be now. Alternatively, does pressing down send the ball into the clouds!?

Someone else mentioned aiming for a gap between heads in the wall. Generally, I've been aiming to one side of the wall and trying to curve it back inside the post. I haven't had much success, even in the "Practice Free Kick" mode. The topspin will hopefully change that, but in the past I would always blast it over the bar. When shooting with less power in an attempt to try to keep the shot on goal, the keeper would almost always cover the distance and make the save.

I'm playing PES2 via a PS1 emulator on the PC, if it makes any difference.

Thanks for the tips folks. I now wonder how I put up with the FIFA series for so long. The two games are miles apart!

yes pressing forward inceases power a lot and gives top spin

I just found out today how to do those Roby Carlos fizzers everytime wen you take the free kick, press R1 forwards and then obviously square, i found nearly evertime the free kick fizzes so fast liek those 1's u used to get on some occasions only, but not now
