Powerful Freekicks help!

[AndyK]

Hi, Even with Adriano i always fluff the ball easy into the goalkeeper.

I use half power bar with square and press down, then up after release...
can score from 18yards sometimes but anything around 30yards *not*

Any suggestions?

Hold r1 for a powerful kick and use half to three quaters of the power bar.

Nah I dont think its R1 you press anymore, it was in PES4, but now you'r supposed to hold triangle and up for power I think.

For power i usually hold up on the d-pad, then the rest i take in my stride.

hold up and tryangle with you'r power bar half way up or jusy over.

For lots of power I hold up and hold down R1 (plus adding curl to the left or right depending on the preferred foot of the kicker and the location of the kick).

But it becomes less easy to direct the powerful shots.

While taking free kicks R1 curls it to the right...

Use Dejan Stankovich and Van Bommel, lay-off and whack it, from anywere.

R1 doesnt curl it to the right, left and right directions while the power gauge is up and just after kicking is the only way to curl it. R1 increases the power of the shot compared to just [] and holding up does that even more so. I dont know about triangle being held, ive read this in a few places, but its not mentioned at all in the official PES5 guide.

^^ Check the manual

L1 and R1 add aftertouch.
For more power hold UP and TRIANGLE

For a perfect example go to training and free kick menu. Have a free kick from the right hand side (perfect for a left footer)
Take it with a left footer and aim to the left hand corner (where the keeper should be standing) when running up hold R1 and see it shoot off to the opposite corner....
