The team has been complete for ages so if I can get time I'll post it online, been very busy in work since Christmas but things are starting to ease up so I should get it done soon.

How do you score most of your goals? from crosses and headers? inside/outside the box?

Im sure it's ok if your man hacks down a forward only to be given a yellow card, you can't beat that. suppose it depends on which referee is doing the game.

there is plenty of diving in the game though from players like totti and radzinski who get knocked off the ball and fling themselves to the ground.

yeah know what you mean, 3 star minimum but preferably 4 or above

its handy if your opponent looks like he's gonna take you down (last man back and all that). skip the challenge and run through one on one - you can't guarantee a sending off every time and injuries to star players are a pain in the arse.

panic and hit all the buttons at once. done that a few times myself with pretty pathetic results.

As I say, "a perfectly executed free-kick right into the top-corner should still go in".

Yep most offisdes are going to be around your own box so a few metres here or there doesn't matter that much does it? A long toe upfield to your big man upfront sorts that one out sharpish.

All the keepers in the game are crap regardless of the setting.

I've been trying some long-range lobs (about 25m+) with good effect the last few nights. It's a bit tricky to get the proper power and direction on them at first but as long as the keeper comes out as far as the penalty spot then you've got a good chance. Best thing to do with 1-on-1's though is...

Has anyone actually completed them all? I just had the very last dribbling one to do but it was impossible and I tried with every Brazilian in the game & Maradona but no chance - perhaps if I created a player specifically for the challenge it may be possible.

The game can be very unforgiving at times if you stop practising free-kicks though when I get into the training ground I can more often than not hit the target but when it comes to the game itself. As for the Challenge Training I'm sure most people are like me and just got really, really...

In addition to making the wall jump, standstill or run out you can also position a player right on the goal line beside the post. While a perfectly executed free-kick right into the top-corner should still go in it does help put-off the other player by making him rush the kick and it is possible...

bloody hell you're good to yourself with those stats. you just need to relax and not choke when taking free-kicks during the game - it's all well and good scoring for fun in training mode but when you get to the game itself things are more serious.

you can edit the boots although you don't get much to choose from but at least you have 8 colours to pick from.

Yeah I always found that pulling back into a tackle is an easy way to win a free-kick and get the opposition booked but be careful who you do it with as too many of these can see your player stretchered off before long.

I find Roberto Carlos is a lot more effective with the D option (the right angle/short step) instead of that daft run up. He has the power and curl ability to hit the top corner every time up to about 35m without the run-up. All in all though I prefer the Beckham run up for right-footed players.

er that didn't quite make sense so in other words - just hit the ball toward the middle of the goal and hope for the best.

if shooting with your weaker foot the best thing is to avoid placing the ball in the top corner or anything fancy and just make sure you get it on target at least this way if you can balls it up and the ball will may go in or failing that the keeper will have to make a save.
