Tutorial: Taking Free Kicks

My 1st Tutorial thing kindof thread so be easy on me =P.


Right.. if you've wanted to take a free kick and actually score it. This is kindof a small guide to taking a free kick, i've scored many in my time playing pes 2008 (most with jaric from defualt ml team =S), but anyways a friend told me these methods of scoring free kicks quite long ago.. does always work so please dont complain =P.

Now..
Free Kicks from 25m and under.. (may be 20m and under)

1. Get a player such as Pirlo from Ac Milan or Ronaldinho from Barca, Juninho from Lyon.. or any player with good free kick acc. , swerve and reasonable power.

2. Make sure your aiming for the last or second last player of the wall.. maybe move so its aiming at his foot.

3. Now when shooting hold UP (easier on analoge stick) and press X (On Xbox) ( [] On PS3) untill the power bar reaches half way or a tiny bit under half, sometimes maybe a tiny bit over half.

4. Move the stick left or right to whatever direction u want to curl it hold that during the run up and through untill the shot.

5. Quickly hold A (X on PS3) during the run up untill the player strikes the ball.



Hopefully this should result into a good curling free kick (which goes in), if not then try to move the position your aiming for as swerve has alot to do with it or try changing power.

Now For..
Free Kicks from 25m - 40m (May not work at 40m.. add more power if it falls short)

1. Get a player such as Pirlo (for 25 - 30) Roberto Carlos is probably best for this.. well the longer free kicks.. but experiment with players.. or any player with good free kick acc. and swerve and good power again.

2. Make sure your aiming for the last or second last player of the wall.. maybe move so its aiming at his foot (depending on the swerve).

3. Now when shooting hold UP (easier on analoge stick) and press X (On Xbox) ( [] On PS3) untill the power bar reaches half way or over half.

4. Move the stick left or right to whatever direction u want to curl it hold that untill the shot is finished.

5. Quickly hold Y (Triangle on PS3) untill the player strikes the ball.



Hopefully this should result into a long range curling free kick (which goes in), if not then try to move the position your aiming for or maybe try a bit more power.. or less.


For 40m +, try power between half and all the way. (Roberto Carlos is probably best to do them with aswell)


Well I hope this has been a help to people, some of you might already know this, (i think theres a youtube vid on it).


Good luck and happy free kicking.

According the the official strateg guide - ps3 controls:

X+down = most curve, least power
X+up = good curve, weak power
(triangle)+down=good power, weaker curve
(triangle)+up=most power, least curve

was something along those lines anyway, lost the book a while back

^Yeah same here. It's been like that since ISS pro on ps1 except they had no triangle and x buttons for power adjustments.

every version of pes or we have some ways that make the free kick easily to inter .... just you have to train ...... about 80% or more of my free kicks entered sometimes 100% .. really !! that way in the last version of pes 2008 is to put second player ( by pressing L1 & R1 on ps3 ) the two players must be good ( the second player in passing too ) then pass the ball ( by pressing L1 & X on ps3 ) then shoot the ball direct before your player reach to the ball ( the shoot must be as shown in the first post............................... this way is very useful for all free kicks from any distance .... i've scored 18, 20 30, 38, 42 meters .... don't worry just pass & shot ....... the advantage of that way is that ,, the ball avoid the wall ... that means the ball will enter if you decreased the power bar too ............ my best players in that way maradona for the long and requelmi for the short ............ roberto carlos can't do it because his shoot will be to late as ronald koeman & totti

Free kick

Best way I find is full power blast at close range (under 25 yards) so the keeper can't react quick enough. and any further out I just use roberto carlos style kickers cause they seem to make it easier. Also in training where is the best place to take freekicks from (distance and angle) 'cos no where I take it from resembles "real life" match free kicks.

I think my best is still 39m with Gerrard. The ball went post-> goalkeeper's head-> net.

Is it actually possible to get it straight in the net w/o hitting the woodwork from that kinda range?

Thank you for reading.
My technique with really close freekicks is to hold down on the directional buttons and fill the bar to full with the O button (long pass). This produces a hard shot under the wall which usually jumps, allowing the ball through. I score about 80% of these.

I use the Xbox equivalent, R trigger. It's easy to get the shot on target with a good free-kick taker.

Also, I like that shot and passing power stats count for something in set-pieces. If you take a corner with Del Piero, you need to have the power bar to be fuller to beat the first man; and with Gerrard, the power bar doesn't have to be as high.
