Drop Kick

[pubey3k]

In the 89th minute you've got to get the ball into the opposition third and keep it there until you can create a good shot. The ref never seems to blow while an attack is actually in progress, only when the ball goes out of play or it is cleared into midfield.

If I had the chance of a break I might use the DF to play it quickly to a MF running ahead of him.

If not, I might roll it to a defender out wide to drive it up field - holding L1 and square - I think it's more likely to hit one of my CF's who'll try to knock it down to a teammate.

You do realize that has absolutly nothing to do with the topic in hand

Not directly, but I was responding to what spikeymaracca had said earlier:

...and say its the 89th minute. what would u do roll the ball out to the defender, or kick it upfield for a chance to score?...

Try it with Left stick full forward, holding R2 and give it half-way on the power bar. It does depend on some luck, but it does happen.


Thanks mate, I have no idea that it could be done. I believe you are a seasoned player. HOpefully, one day we can have a match on line. Cheers.

lmao,there should be a power metre on kicks from hand.There should be kik fae hand stats toverarm throws should be implemented with lenght and accuracy stats too.Imagine they were like corners.It would be superb

It is definitely a step in the right direction.

Thank you.

The first time I did the long, high free-kick (40-44m) was a complete fluke, but I still had my fingers on the controls so knew what I'd done, then checked the replay for distance - exactly level with the edge of the centre circle. After getting a couple, it usually seemed to happen when the GK gets bumped while coming to catch the ball. The down side is if it doesn't happen the GK cathches it easily, still it's worth a go if there's no really reliable way to score from that distance.

The long free-kick I'm trying to get the hang of is aiming it harder and lower with L1, just wide of the goal and getting a team-mate to flick a header into the opposite corner. Totally wrong-foots the keeper, but they're still going wide more often than on target.

There's another very short (17m) free kick I found in Training (hundreds of variations on different combinations of buttons) - I'll try to boil it down to defintite controls tomorrow.

Something like, hold R2, full forward on the Left stick, and just give the O button the tiniest tap you can. The ball should just pop over the wall and bounce on the line into the goal before the GK can get down there.

Without double-checking I can't be sure. It's not quite perfect, and other people have outlined good methods from close in.

I think this was what sent me looking at other buttons apart from [] for a shot, its from the Free Kick Guide on PESInsight's home page...

“If you ever get a free-kick with David Beckham any where very close to the goal, instead of using the shoot button, press lob and hold up. As long as you aim as far in to the opposite corner from the goalkeeper, and use a decent amount of power, it should go straight in to the net ALL of the time. This trick also works with every other player in the game, but it is not always as successful.”

It works well for most good players, I was using Rivaldo, Diouf and Zidane against Dudek, to try out variations last night.

I take the line up the free-kick using the half-way line on the scanner (at the bottom of the screen). At 17-18m, I think R2 helps to float the ball more gently and accurately. Sometimes the wall has jumped and are falling back down before the ball passes over their heads or between them.

It seems to work with R1, or R1+R2 held as well.

At 19-20m I leave off R2 and just use the O button and the left Analogue stick.

What I really want is to be able to bend it more because it looks to me that the keepers set themselves to dive and save on the first line the ball takes.

If I could shift it in the air, they would always misjudge and fall agonisingly to the ground as the ball floats beyond them.

Anyone got their curling free-kick skills sorted?

I thought it's all about the direction of the Left stick while the power bar is displayed, but it just seems to disrupt my aim.

I would rather score a 'proper' free-kick not a trick with the :circle: button, I ALWAYS keep my fingure on :R1: to dip it so if it goes to high it dips in, I score soo many beckham free-kicks i have prob scored more beckham free-kicks so far on pes3 than i did for the whole of pes2, and i scored my first carlos free-kick from 37m the other day.

Giggsy11,
Nice one, I'd like to have the choice of both (R1+[] or R2+O), but I've never been able to settle on a consistant method that works for most free-kick takers at mid-range.

How do you judge the amount of power for distance (while holding R1), say for a free-kick around 20-25m?

And if you use the Left stick at the same time, how do you add curl without losing the line/aim of the shot?

The Guide offers this...

The power bar should be filled a little over half way, and the analog stick held northeast or northwest (according to your choice of kicker). Simple logic should tell you which is correct for your player… curling away from goal is not going to help when your already aiming there...

Is that it...'north-east' or 'north-west' while the power bar is on, or are their situations where you use 'south-east' or 'south-west'?

Ok here's my free-kick guide

1.I do not judge distance by the meters (e.g 20-25m) i judged it on the size of the wall and the angle..I find that you can score if there is a four man wall most times and maybe everynow and again with a 3..(the smaller the wall the further away)

2.Right footed players are better shooting from the left side and vice versa (if a player is right footed and shoots on the right side with an in swinging kick (right to left) the ball is harder to get in cos u hav to curl it in at the last minute)..I also find using the opposite curl (the one where u do in effect and outside of the foot)...e.g shooting with beckham and keeping your finger on right to curl it instead of left has no effect.

3.When u are outside of the box (usualy a 5 man wall) keep your finger on 'back' This makes the free-kick go higher and slower which enables u to get it over the wall, When you are in a four man wall posistion press forward to get the power on the kick so it has more chance of going in.

4. Remember to aim your kicks between the player in the wall (the gaps between the heads)

5.Ok now onto power.,..When shooting from a four man wall or 5 man wall posiston-I get the power to just over half way (hitting it dead on half way usualy hits the wall) and when u are in a 5 man wall posistion half-way will be ok..

6.Now dip..I ALWAYS keep my finger on :R1: to dip the ball, i never use :R2: to higher it as it could go to high and over the bar..At least by dipping it it will almost gurantee to be on target.

Ok thats my guide.. now below is how to score a free-kick with Beckham.

Free Kick-four man wall-18-30m -left hand side of penalty area

1.Start by keeping your finger on :R1: and keep it held
2.Posistion the aim just next to the legs of the first man in the wall (in the gap) on the right.
3.now keep your finger on up and hold down :square: until just over half-way
4. let go and keep your finger on left to curl it onto the top right corner (keepers right)

You can use this to score from any posistions but by adusting power and aim depending on what side or angle u are at.

Hope this wa sof sum use, It took me frickin ages

Giggsy,

That's brilliant, I appreciate the effort.

I'll have to print this and take it out on the Training pitch with me.

So, in your Beckham example the Left analogue stick starts at full-forward (or 'north') until the shot is released...then, when the ball is in flight...you pull it left for the curl.

Yes the left analog stick pushed north will do a fast free-kick (for lon-range shots) and pulling it south will do a slow high kick (for short range ones) but when i do free-kicks i use the d-pad as i find it easier. but analog is easier for curling.

Giggsy,does holding R1 really make a difference?

well it is ment to dip the ball so i just keep my finger on it just in case, it does actually say this in the manual..but it don't make a massive diffrence no.
