Lobbing the keeper (not close range)

[boothy9]

Hi all,

Does anyone know a way to get decent height on a lobbed shot? I mean normal lobs not the dinks which I can perform and they work well on this game!

I mean more when you're just outside the box and the keeper is a fair distance of his line and you try and lob him from there.

I've tried more power, holding back but it always ends up being at a reachable height for the goalkeeper.

If its not possible fair enough, I don't want the game to be like Fifa 10 where a lobbed shot could finish nearly every chance!

Hopefully someone has some ideas on this!

Cheers!

i have also been thinking about that, have you tried using manual passing by pressing long pass button O

No I haven't! It never occurred to me to use any other button than the shoot button (with the lob shoulder button held down).

I bet the manual long pass could work though on occassions. It wouldn't get that loft over the keeper and come down in time in most cases though I reckon.

I'll have to experiment more in training mode!

maybe R2 shot from around the box, i think i've hit those in a few times

Dont be afraid to use full power, also make sure the ball is not to close to your body. Using manual long ball was also a good suggestion but it would be tricky, haven't had much success with this either although I have scored many close range chips.

L1+shoot does a high lob shot aswell

L2 and O I try it quite often from inside my own half only scored 1 so far keeper should of saved it tho might need to try it from different areas of the pitch will be really hard to pull of tho imo.

Thats the only one I use raff, the small dink chip is good but L1 is the best option.

I've scored plenty of lobs on PES2011 but not through actually trying!

If you hit a shot as its bouncing you can do lofted lob shots over the keeper (and no I'm not holding L1 either) and the goalies always misjudge them. They run forward two steps too many meaning they can't get back in time.

Weak foot shooting often produces these odd lobs as well. When you score them its great but when you're on the receiving end you want to sub your goalkeeper for being such a twat.

yep work of art wen it comes off

Manual passes don't work good at all for 'shooting' from my experience. The system isn't completely 'free' if you know what I mean. Just try really hard long passes when you're about 30 meters from goal, you get a different effect if there is a player in front of you.

As for the lobbing, try full power shot + RT/R2 for a finesse shot. Sometimes you can get those really nice top corner curling shots which lob over the goalkeeper.

It does seem impossible, there are a few players who can do this better but i have difficulty keepin them on target even with the best, they can lob the goalie but drift wide in the end which is annoying.. The day i score a lob will be a happy day!
