Beckham Free Kicks

[Zygalski]

I will check them out but never heard of R3 doing anything before.
Which setting do you have the left stick set for?

L3 and R3

For close free-kicks push R3
For far out free-kicks use L3

Hope this clears it. Let me know how you get on......

L3 makes a pacey bullet type shot
R3 does a less powerful but more chiped which helps get it over the wall but under the bar.

At about 25m I would tend not to use any analogue stick and just get the power bar at just below half way

I have never changed any hand control setting the game so it will just be as the original default. I'll double check and let you know mate.

R3 definately does things. When you hold it down instead of forward it does something different like a dink chip over the wall or something (can't really remember).

I have never really had any trouble when taking free kicks with Beckham, but I have just recently started pressing X just as the ball has cleared the wall to make it dip. This really does work well for me and I score a lot more with this.

Wouldn't it be cool if you could slot one under the wall when they jump up? Just wait a few extra nano-seconds and twat one underneath the unsuspecting defenders feet! It does happen in real life.

Try the X business and see if it works for you!

I have. Dunno how but just tried. Wall was on the right and I aimed at the left edge of the wall (in line with the left stick). Pushed up/forward and hit it about a third. Somehow it took the keeper by surprise and he got fingers to it but went in. Really didn't expect it and guess I'll never do it again (even though I have tried.... a lot!)

Sorry, forgot to mention that I also aimed in between the legs of the far left defender when lining up.

 

[Zygalski]

oo-er!

painfull!!!

 

[rebusrahman]

Nice! Um... to go under his legs when he jumped! lol.

for free kicks 35-40m try using any good free kick taker and hold r2 and hold 0 until it reaches about 3/4 length of the bar and no more. ive scored loads this way. left side of pitch= left footed player and for the right vice versa.

 

[rebusrahman]

So what does R2 do then?

 

[Zygalski]

I think it makes the shot go higher (to beat the wall) but slightly slower.

R1 makes it go faster and lower.
