Tips on 45 yarders?

[Mc Clean]

does anybody have tips on shots from like 35-45 yards out?

Well, from 35 yards (40m) the keeper will be a lot nearer his goal line than for a halfway lob.
You need to hope the ball gets deflected or half-cleared out of oppositions defence, then attempt a long range drive by just tapping :square: . If the player who shoots has a highish shot power stat, you stand a chance.
Another way I've come close from about 35m is to backheel the ball when my Striker's attacking. If this is done from just inside the area, someone further back will really spank the ball when they run onto it. Again just tap :square: .

If you mean how do you do halfway lobs, this thread may help:

Try this little beauty

I'v scored for my own half(10 yards inside) How to do is :line ur player up inline with ur opp goal while walking the ball out of defence.Then hold long pass button to max power just before you approach the center circle(make sure he has decent Long pass acc) It might take you a couple of goes but it does work. Rock On

A couple of goes!
I've tried that maybe a hundred times, often with Beckham put in DMF & in a counter-attack from a corner (so Becks is in the middle & the opp keeper's miles off his line).
Still not done it though!

Dundon's method does work, but there can't be any of your own players in front of you when you attemp the lob, otherwise he'll just attempt to long pass it to them. The best time to try one is when you're on a counter-attack, after defending a corner or something.
