Giggsy11's Free-Kick Guide for PES3

Original?

It is, though it is far more difficult.

Aim wide of the goal, then curl back towards the goal, you need a very good free-kick taker and need to judge it well. I've done it with Del Piero and saved it but I can't show you off my PS2.

Just follow the guide by Giggsy but with the amendmants I said. Good Luck.

I was reading a PES3 guide and this was said about free-kicks.

"There's a difference between filling up the meter all at
Once, in two taps and in more than two (I mean mostly three, never tried it
with 4 or more). I don't know exactly how this works, but I have a very good
guess. First of all, you have to know the player you're kicking with, in
some cases (like VERON, from Argentina, for example), it's best to fill the
meter up all at once, while with Zidane, It's best to fill it up in two and
Figo, for instance is best used with three taps.

Also the distance plays an important role here: in short range free kicks
(holding down in the control pad, of course), it's best if you fill up the
meter all at once (this for me is till 23 meters of distance); in middle range
free kicks (not holding any directional pad), you should fill up the meter with
three taps (this range for me is from 24 to 27 meters), and in long range free
kicks (holding up in the control pad) you should fill it up in 2 taps (from 28
meters on).

This is how it's supposed to be done: It seems that when you fill up the meter
with two taps, the first one will govern the speed of the shot, while the
second will add height to it, without losing speed. This is hard to master, but
can be very useful with some players at certain distances. The first tap should
be long and the second very short, just adding some height, but not much. You
must be able to calculate the distance/power relationship by yourself, I can't
really explain it here. When you fill it up with three taps you should just
worry that the first one is not too weak, the other two are just needed to get
to the desired shot power.

Basically, that's how it works. I have a friend that plays with France, and he
wasn't able to get past the wall with Zidane [dear LORD! - *Rich]. After being
told this information, he has become a free kick scoring machine!"



It's a bit lengthy I know but can anyone else verify this?

I know sometimes when I press :square: twice on a freekick I get a different outcome for the amunt of power on the bar than I usually do, but I'm going to experiement a bit I think.

heres a link to the walkthrough I got it from if anyone cares. http://faqs.ign.com/articles/489/489065p1.html

is it true? I have never heard about it. Nevertheless, I just find in your guide giggsy one mistake or at least from my point of view. If you aim the shoot to the gap between the players ad you curl the ball, it will hit one player so it is better to aim towards the head of the player, hence with the curl the ball will go between them..

yeah I have tried it by myself and it is really really useful! However I disagree with HTFC as when you are in a near kick what you have to do is in two taps, doing the first one( because it is speed) very lightly while the second one full the rest of the bar (using in total the same energy you are used to press) Anyway, It is a great advice the one you have post HTFC

Yes this is another aspect for free-kick specialists, I say that because it is tricky to get right.

It's best if you have a player with good F.K. Accuracy, at manolete you are correct it is easy to score with two taps from close range rather than one, this is because it gives you more height but will dip to the right level just the same, makin it easier to get up and over the wall and down again.

From "medium range" I'd use a single tap to build up the height bar. Never have I or would I try to use three taps I think the difficulty outweighs the benefit, it is far less likely to go well and you are more likely to do better trying another method.

Yeah, I agree. That was just repeated from the walkthrough that I found it on.
To be honest I think the way he has it is totally wrong from what I have witnessed from experimenting.

Two taps are best for close range. The ratio between the two depending on 1) your kicker, and 2) your position outside the box.

Now I don't recommend the three tap press unless you are either quick with your finger or you have more time because the players run up is longer say if you are using R.Carlos.
But should you use it its best from 24-27 metres and you get a lot of dip on your shot,..... most of the time but it depends on how long each press is and which one is longest.
But I'm not sure but I think it's the second two taps that decide how powerful the shot is instead of the first but I'm still working it out.

But I found a different PES3 guide and I found this.

"Every manual that has ever been printed has said that OUTSIDE means the ability of that player
to use the outside of his foot,
be it shooting or long passes.
Now, realistically and schematically this manifests itself in that player being able to
curl the ball more dramatically with the outside of his foot than players without said star.
In essence, this player has the ability to curl the ball either way on the same foot
to a greater extent than players that don't have this star."



I know it's not directly related to this discussion but if it's true then a few players that should have this ability haven't got it on my version and it would help for free-kicks.
Plus I'm still struggling to curl the ball in open play.

The best way to score from a freekick is........if u will take your freekick closer than 25 m., u dont have to use :R1: button.
First of all u have to redirect your ball way to the near post according to the kickers curve. then u can shoot a little more from the half line. then first u press forward and left buttons.

Ive given up on using curl on close free kicks i just shoot straight and i always hit the target now! Where as before it was harder to place with the curl, being so unpredictable

I usually get it just past halfway and then hold down and left/ down n right depending where the wall is placed. ive only got it in once or twice. Anyways i can get it better and get my freekicks going in most of the time?

It doesnt help me to do that, i scored 1 last night with Piliniak (growth ML) but that was minus the curl, ive tried your method and usualy it goes just past the post, or the keeper catches it

Roberto Carlos only has "long-throw" special ability, not "outside" & yet you can curl the ball either way with him.
The "outside" ability refers to open play situations. For example, if the right-footed player is on the right side of the area & at an angle, he can kick the ball much more accurately & with more power at goal with the outside of his instep.

For what it's worth, for all free kicks 25m plus I hold down :R1: aim forward, fill the power meter to maybe 1/2 or 3/4 depending on distance. As the power bar is filled & I let go of :square: then roll the d-pad diagonally the way I want it to curl.
This method maximises the power & curl of the f/k. Takes a bit of getting used to, but after you've done it a couple of times you'll find it's the dogs! :cool:
As for all this double tapping! Well the best way of scoring close in is to hold back on the d-pad then roll your thumb towards the way you want the ball to curl. Or, if you wanna cheat & you're really close, just aim inside the post, tap :circle: & hold forwards on the pad.

the indirect freekick system in WE8 is pretty useful, but i dont know how to tap the ball to the shooter, can nebody help me with controls of this?

Press Select to add another kicker or swap his position.
Hold R3 to add power to his manual pass (a tap is enough) and then press shoot and your free kick taker will blast it.
Or don't shoot and press high pass, low pass or through ball, or just dribble it out.
