Just wondered what other peoples experiences with free kicks are? Have you found anything to be particularly effective?
I reckon I have played approx 150 games, but have only managed to score 1 so far (although I don't tend to get too many in good scoring positions). The CPU has also scored 1 against me- a screaming shot (or cross?!) from near the touchline, where my keeper flapped and dived backwards under it like an idiot!
I have found that the keeper stands quite central, nullifying the classic 'over the wall, curl away from the keeper, into the near corner' type goal (hope that makes sense). The goal I did score was into the far post from very close range, with the keeper stood behind the wall (leaving a huge gap unguarded on the far side).
Just wondering whether anyone has any good tips? I haven't tried the knuckle shot yet- I recall that in one PES (PES 2012 or 2013 perhaps?) it was unstoppable, and the keepers central positioning may make him vulnerable. The other PES classic I haven't tried is under the wall, although for that one the keepers starting position would seem to count against it.
I should also add that I don't have a real free kick expert on my master league team (I mainly play offline), so that probably hasn't helped. The old up and over technique might work if I actually had a player capable of getting the right amount of curl, dip and power.
