Bang!

how the hell do u hammer the ball!? Even with Oliseh (99 for shot power) they just sail over! I've seen what kind of goals you are able to score in the game and I want to start scoring stunners! All my goals are feeble little tap-ins.

Advice?

Long range shooting is very different to PES2.

I've found that well below half way on the bar is enough when outside the box.

Saying that I haven't scored many from distance on PES3 so perhaps someone can give us both some tips!

the best tip i can give u is if youre shooting from right to left on the screen (well it doesnt matter which way but for the purpose of this explaination.. right to left), run directly forward (pressing left only and not up or down) and then tap square gently and imediately press left and down on the d-pad. with a decent player and an ounce of luck your shot will fly into the bottom corner.

hey i understand what ure going thru, isnt it sensational when u score a 30 yard screamer?
usually i score few yards outside the penalty box. Its kinda natural for me , but my tip is to get the players with good curling, shot accuracy, shot technique. Power is not always applicable . I opt for accuracy and curl. ok lets say you got rob baggio on the ball (his long shots always hit e target) face the penalty box straight. Then run not too much just a bit diagonally up or down and press the shoot button about half or around there and press abit on the left or right button depending whether ure attacking the left or right goal post for a little curl and you should be up on ur knees celebrating the goal. It takes practice so dont come back here and shout your lungs at me. :) . GOOD LUCK !

You'll also find that running onto the ball will give you supreme power and placement. Using shooters like Nedved etc. combined with said technique will have you completing blinders more often.

thats a good tip... if u play a sideways through ball and then run onto it and hit it first time they generally go sweet as a nut :)

sprint with the ball -R1- then double tap d-pad the direction ur running to get the ball infront of u, or triple as well, THEN power up ur shot slightly. makes it a dang good power shot if sucess!
