I love the free kicks... had a about 5 from 20-30 yards out and have gotten 2 beautiful goals out of them and another 2 forcing the keeper to save and 1 firing into the wall. I'm loving X-R even more than X-Pro! Thanks NK for these awesome gameplays.

Really? can you give me a few pointers? Because Im finding them virtually impossible to even hit the target on. I've been playing on World Class for years and im no amateur, just wondering if its just me or what. As I said before, any shot above about 30% power goes way, WAY over the bar (into orbit) and shots below 30% tend to float straight into the keepers hands. I found free kicks easy as pie with X-Pro.

Overall I'm loving it aswell, but the freekicks at 20-something feet are bugging me a bit. When I call the second player and shoot with him, even with the shortest tab of shoot (almost no power at all) the ball still flies over the crossbar. It has happened atleast 5 times already. I havent used curving on these shots either. I belive, that these shot should be atleast on goal (keeper should be able to defend them, due to the low power) or even shouldn't go over the wall.

Thank you NK for the amazing gameplay. The ball physics,shots are so realistic! Does everyone get the feeling that we have reached the end for fifa07, NK has made an immensely flawed game very interesting and challenging! Bring on fifa08

NK as you get new builds send them to me, I will rip em apart for you. Also, the biggest downfall Fifa has is, and I dont think NK can fix this--nor am I asking, is the restart of plays during set plays and throw ins. In real football, sundry goals are scored via catching players off guard, and you cannot do that if the players are all waiting. Fifa might want to look into that.

E-mailed you the latest build bro.

For the build you sent me, sans name, I enjoyed my World Cup Game against Portugal (Using CEP--Africa 2010). Player animations seemed fluid and smooth and I noticed Rinaldo was doing tricky stuff all game. Shooting seemed flawless (as usual) and passing was fine--although long passing didnt seem as accurate as it was in the previous Final build of X-R. Goalies seemed solid. However on World Class, please, please, please, up the aggression of the defence and offense. X-R seemed solid with this but after getting used to it it became so so. I noticed in the build you sent me I could easily break in on goal with minimal defence and I could do the NHL 97 type cut across the goal and score easily. I scored on 1-3 free kicks and it was accurate and enjoyable (but this is usual)--but I still am terrible at corners.

Gentlemen when you review one of NKs builds, no one cares about that "Player name almost scored twice" or "The game was cool until I was fouled with one minute left". CHECK THE GAME FOR SHOOTING, PASSING, LONG PASSING, DEFENCE, AND A OFFENSE, AND AGRESSION. No one wants a play by play of the game.

You commenting on the build that installs, not the files yeh??

I'll see about the defence issue, would be great if u had video footage to back it up, if i can visually see it then these problems can be looked into deeper. Unless u fully explain the situation, what does the cpu defence do in this situation? hold back to much? come forward to quickly? Let me know please man, appreciate the feedback.

NK, Great work on this project your doing. I got so bored of fifa07. CPU way to easy and online players cheating or something?? So I played manager mode until I got bored. But your patch has got me hooked again. Its so sad EA cant get this game in decent shape before it release "minor" changes every year. We have to rely on people like you. Thanks!

I think shooting is tough but its accurate. The best shooters in the world never make brilliant shots EVERY time. Beckham does miss free kicks in real life hehe.

What I would like is to have delayed red or yellow cards in game. Here is a HUGE example and trick...You can do a seriously wreckless challange and injure a player but let the other team control the ball with the advantage rule.... no foul, no card, and the other team just lost thier superstar striker for the season. Not sure if theres a way to get that working though.

Here is another review of the X-R update. This review also includes a video of a complete match between Arsenal FC (me) and Tottenham Hotspur.

Again, the CPU aggressiveness is tough, which is good. The CPU puts a LOT of pressure, so you really must be careful with your passes. I made a couple of stupid passes and the CPU got the ball right away. The ball physics are really good as well. The ball rolls really well.

The defense is once again really good. You really have to pass carefully. One small mistake in the pass and the CPU will get the ball. The goalkeepers are really good! In the previous review, I wrote that the keepers did not make any breath-taking saves, but in this match, the Tottenham keeper (Robinson) made an amazing save! I will write about this save later on in the review.

So, here is the other part of the review. In this part, I will talk about how the game went.

The match started out just with normal passing, but I had to be careful of the passes because, like I said earlier, the CPU could get the ball really easily off a mistake. After about 5 minutes, Arsenal had really good passing football and Henry almost got past the last defender, but unfortunately, the defender got the ball. At the 10th minute, I made a small mistake in the pass, and the CPU got the ball right away, and start pushing towards the goal to try to benefit from my mistake, but fortunately, my defense got the ball away. The crossing must be well-timed, because sometimes the crosses will go too far and sometimes, they will be too short. 31st minute, I received a free-kick after I was fouled, but unfortunately, the ball went over the net. Free kicks must also be well timed. You must be really careful, because if there is too much power, the ball will fly over the net. So, when up close, make sure you just tap the shoot button. 32nd minute I received another free kick behind the center line. I just passed it to a team-mate and with careful passing, I was able to get the ball to Eboue who went along the side and crossed the ball to Gilberto Silva who was waiting right outside of the area and shot the ball into the net! 1-0 for Arsenal!!!! After this goal, Tottenham got a chance at goal, but Lehmann was there to block it. Then, 41st minute, I received the ball and van Persie went along the sideline and passed to Rosicky who took a one-timer shot at goal, but Robinson made a really nice save! I got the rebound and Henry got the header, and the ball was rolling into the net. This is where Robinson made the spectacular save. The ball was rolling into the net and Robinson dived for the ball and got it! After this, nothing really happened after the first half!

Second half, not too much happened, but at the 82nd minute, I made a really big mistake right outside of my goal area, and Berbatov got the ball and made the equalizer!! Argh, so now it was 1-1! Nothing much happened for the rest of the game, and same thing with both extra times. The ball spent most of the time in midfield, due to good defense and sloppy passed every once in a while. So, the match went into penalties which was really tough! I just barely won 7-6!

So, here is the video.

Part 1
Part 2

You need both parts for the video to work. Once both are downloaded, just open one of the RAR's and extract the video and enjoy!

NOTE, the video seems a bit laggy sometimes, but when I play, it is really smooth, except when recording. Also, the quality is not the best, but it is watchable.

This match must have been the most exciting match that I have ever played! Thank you so much for your time and energy NK! You really make the best gameplay updates!

Im finding now that I've adapted to the gameplay that there are once again too many goals. I had a few 1-2 goal games, but now we're back up in the 4+ range. With everything else being so spot-on realistic, Its just a shame that Im about 5th in the table yet I have 10 more goals than the 2nd highest scoring team, and I have more goals conceded than the teams at the bottom.

With regards to my free kick issue and others having the same issue, I find that if you aim low with your gamepad, the ball will skyrocket (almost as if by aiming low you are getting under the ball). If you aim high (as if you are trying to strike over the ball) you will have a better chance to hit the target. I finally scored my first goal off a free kick today, from maybe 20-25 yards out. Felt damn good :)

As the creator of the update I can say that's a shame to read that, but as a gamer all I can feel is you can't be bothered to learn the shot mechanic, so you'll put on something easier.

What I'm working on right now is getting a happy medium. As pfk505, now he's got used to it, he's scoring plenty more goals. This is the reason, the VERY reason why the next updates shot mechanic will be harder. Because at first many gamers will bitch about it, but once you get used to it you wish it was that little bit harder to hit the shot on goal like you can do now.

If you gave X-R a few good runs Danny, I guarantee you'll end up scoring quite a few goals. The balancing however is going to require some serious testing and tuning. I'm thinking of having the keepers be pretty more realistic, in terms of reactions, BUT have the shot mechanic really challenging.

Should be interesting. I now have PES6 for PC, and the way the game is balanced feels similar to my update, in terms of 'difficult shooting, but get used to it and score 3 goals'. My update won't try and emulate PES, but in terms of how you learn, yes...I want you to have to try. Although the shooting will be better in the next update. It always gets better, but more challenging.

NK those that are ignorant show their true color through their language. When someone has to revert to "sucks" it shows that they lack intelligence and cannot express their ideas fully in intelligent words.


By the way, you asked about the defense. The defense does not attack the human player and seems to back off when coming at them. They do not chase you when your in the box or break around them. Also, the cpu attack is pushing towards the wings again and rather than shooting they pass to the outside.

Yes, the next update will be even harder for shooting, so people will most likely moan because they can't score instantly or straight away.

There must be so many players' out there who actually want to score with 90% of chances and hit the target most of the time. That to me, isn't fun, nor a challenge.

and if a challenge is not what you're wanting, don't download it.
