its way too diffucult to score from outside the area

[abbeyhill]

Scoring rate from outside the box is reasonable, unlike boring FIFA where U have to go right in front of the keeper to shoot for any chance of scoring.

Is this true? I've just bought FIFA 2004 for my PC and was trying to get the hang of the controls with a Arsenal v Spurs practice game. Pressed shoot rather than pass by mistake, and Henry delivered a ridiculous banana shot from 40 yards out that crashed past the bemused keeper. Not on a high skill level however

maby there's some crucial differences on the versions of game(WE7,Pes3 - Px, PS), but i'd rather agree that scoring from long range is too hard. and not because it's going wide to often but the way it happens. shooting system in pes 3 does that ball flies and curls in the direction you're holding on d-pad and that's the bad thing coz if it happens to run from left to right for example and than you shoot while continueing the run, the ballwill sverve away to right hand side.
so i try to release d-pad when shooting alhough it's not comfortable and ball ends stright in keeper's hand oftenly.
also i noticed that half volleys, once you manage to execute them, are much more easyer to get on target. though missed i did a real crunchy one a couple hours ago with Ronald de Boer. it was a 25-27 meters out and i accidently pushed power gauge to maximum, but the ball went bouncin' along the grass with such a outrageous anger that if it was on goal, Barthez would step aside to stay alive :<

its not hard. It also depends on the amount of space your attacker has if he has the ability(obiously) and the amount of time your player has to take his shot...

 

[Trezeguet]

...has to first findspace b4 shooting, otherwise it's deflected away to safety.

 

[vswc1d]

The shooting is more sensitive than on pes2, there is alot less room for error with the shooting on pes3.

i find this religion statment offensive.(If football is your only religion, Worship at the ultimate altar)plz delete it.

 

[Trezeguet]

abbeyhill, abt the FIFA shooting,
U really scored from that far out?

I was so terrible....
like couldn't even score from outside the small box............

 

[abbeyhill]

Yes, but it was on the second lowest skill level and may well have been a one-off fluke. If I can get the game to stop crashing on my PC I'll have a few more matches

how can you not score from free kicks? This is my first ever PES and I can score most of the time with with Minanda= on 5 stars, let alone someone like Totti.
Also the appeal of PES is that no goal is impossible but how easy do you think it is to score those goals? How often do we see 35 yard wonder goals go in? They're hard because in real life they're nearly impossible to execute well

also, I think you'll find scoring from outside the area in Fifa is easier than it is in PES ~apologies for double post~
Scoring in that game is far too easy

 

[Trezeguet]

FIFA, very easy to score if I go very near the keeper, otherwise can't score.

In PES3, it's much better, can score from outside the box, from far, from fks...

 

[Haz-e]

I have no idea how you're managing that. You can score from 30 yards on world class easily as long as you shoot from an angle

 

[Trezeguet]

What do U mean?

 

[Gun_Runner]

I was playing a world cup with Brazil in PES3 and i played Argentina and Dida scored with a punt but for some reason in WE7 you cant hit the ball as far from a punt.......Ive got a Japanese WE7 and u can score from about 30m quite a lot...and ive got a Patched WE7 and u cant score the way u can in the Japanese version.....................................F.Inzaghi is probably the best shooter from outside the box

 

[Trezeguet]

Your Goalie scored!!!!!!???
I think the best scorer from outside the box is Scholes, R. Carlos and Vieri.

 

[djdavedoc]

Fifa Is shit for shooting... Yes you can score spectacular goals but from a massive distance with a not so good player? eg.. Silvestre of Manchester United Shooting from near enough 40 yards and it ends up in the net? Pro Evo has it just right for shooting from distance but the computer team always appears to be able to flood his penalty area full of players and yet you dont have that chance because your players become dispearsed!!!

how can you not score from free kicks? ...I can score most of the time with with Minanda= on 5 stars, let alone someone like Totti.

I used to be better at free-kicks, but seem to have lost it. From close to the area, I was using R2 to gently lift the shot over the wall and pusing forward on the Left stick to bring it down again...but it must have been more instinctive than deliberate.

Buttons please?!?!

You can score from 30 yards on world class easily as long as you shoot from an angle.

First time shots/volleys seem better, less than 1/3 on the power bar, but still very hit and miss. What do you do to give the shot enough power, but still keeping the ball down and on target?

 

[Towdinho]

So I've scored a goal just a metre or so from the halfway line. I scored it with Nachdecal from ML. It was pure luck. The opponents defender was passing a ball to his teammate, then Nachdecal ran into to ball and hit it so hard and over the keeper just a centemeter below the crossbar. Pretty good for a first time shot, huh? Oh, and take notice to the scorer - Nachdecal - not a very good scorer He's actually a defender. It was really a lucky goal, cause I didn't want to shoot, I just use R1+square a lot in defence, and hit the boal by accident I have this goal saved on my Memory Card but I don't know how to transfer it onto computer. Anyways I've also scored a goal with M'boma from Cameroon. It was from a cross. M'boma made scissors and scored a goal from about 20 metres. Ofcourse all these goals are scored on the highest level (5 stars).

to score in fifa charge the bar half way up, face the far post of the goal and push your directional button towards the inside of the goal as you charge up. 90% of the time you'll score as my 89 goals with Nicky Butt on world class in one season will show =D.
For the free kicks just aim between the heads and fire it off, if you're less than 20 yards out you need to pull back on the analogue stick to get a little extra lift on it though

 

[Cellini]

But in PES3?

Towdinho,
Sounds good. Sometimes I think hitting it first time is the most likely to keep it on target, I'm less likely to pull the shot.

 

[Haz-e]

That free kick advise was for PES 3 by the way and if you want to score from 25+ yards you want to control the shot, pace it forward once or twice at sprinting speed and then smack it
