This is bullsh*t.

On Amateur penalties are easy to put away. On Professional it seems the keeper always knows which way the ball goes.

Is there some sort of rigging?

there probably is

maybe

when u get in to pik shooutout do amateur or the first shot shoot it in the middle and u have a 40% chance


I RULE AT PENALTIES

im gonna try what happens Soccerfreak_nl

I once heard that if you wiggle the sick around a bit before you pick a direction and shoot it helps. I do it now as like a ritual, don't know what, if anything, it does.

The more important trick is that if you hit it hard enough, it doesn't matter if the keeper goes the right way, he won't get it. If you can master charging the button until right before the red you'll smack it in there like Ricardo :hump: Keep in mind this only works with good shooters, so make sure your best shooter is assigned to take penalties. Sometimes the default PK taker is a defender with 15 shot accuracy and shot power :confused:

Thanks for the tip, i never knew that, I will have to try that.

I think the best thing you can do for penalties in career mode is buy John Arne Riise from Liverpool. He's a very good left back (82) with shot power of 98 so he just slaps them in there. Since he's a defender you won't have to rest him much, so he can do most of your free kicks and penalties. Costs about 6.5M, quite a bargain.

In carreeer mode, just do Individual Training on your best player and use all your budget and make him better at kicking.....!!!!!:) :) :) :) :o :o :o :

Roberto Carlos is 100 shot power and acurracy- he is a lot better than some strikers

Van Nistelrooy is the best at penalties

Yesterday i was playing Enland-Switzerland and Scholes was doing a penalty and hit the crossbar and went out and lmpard the same

If you're working with a low-level team you can also buy Stelios Giannakopoulos from Bolton, he costs .2M and has 80+ SA and SP.
