Shooting From Distance

barthez4

Senior Squad
In FIFA 2005 (especially on world class), the main way to score was on through balls that led to breakaways. Most shots from 15-30 yards out were repeatedly saved by superman goalies, even the shots that seemed destined to hit the top corner with power. Now obviously this needs to be improved. What I suggest is a new system for distance shooting. In 05, it was very easy to shoot on target from 25 yards out and it would usually be a hard shot, but it would almost always be miraculously saved. In 06, it should be harder to hit the net from distance, most likely by implementing a different speed for your shot meter to go up. The closer you are to the net, the faster the meter should go up, and if you are farther out, it should go up slower, allowing defenders more time to tackle/deflect shots. If you shoot from distance and you don't hold the shot long enough, then it will be a weak shot that might just be one that rolls to the keeper. However, if you find the space and power a good shot (ala Gerrard) then you'll be rewarded with a hard, on target shot. This also makes it seem more realistic, because you obviously need to hit the ball harder and more accurately from distance in a real match, so why not in FIFA?

The part that needs to change MORE from FIFA 05 is goalkeeping. If the system I recommended is created, then we can't have keepers repeatedly denying brilliant scorching shots left and right. Make it realistic. If the keeper can't get to it, he can't get to it. Don't have him making a cross-country flight from one side of the net to the other every time to avoid a 30 yard strike.

Any thoughts?

i think the shooting in fifa is absolutly perfect... ive seen tons of unbelievable goals that u think how do they not save it... but also ive seen near perfect shots where the keeper "actually had no chance" (ally mc)... u just gotta practice more man..i no for me anyway... even on world class if i get a chance to take 2 steps and fire from 30 - 10 ill drill it... have even hit some from like 40.. off a corner rebound i just drilled it and off the upper bar...

but even MLS teams from teh corner of the 18 i can hit the upper 90 bar's everytime.. just practice man... U HAVE TO USE THE ANALOG STICK.... my buddie does D-Pad and he just cant do it

It's not really about skill though, I'm good at the game. I CAN score the goals, but I'm saying that it should be a different system because in 05, a lot of long shots that would go in in real life were being saved constantly. With my system implemented, it would cut back on the number of incredible shots, but also increase the likelihood for the fewer, more difficult incredible shots to go in.

Well for him if the game is diffrent maybe it is your skills, and maybe it isnt. Just because you think your good at the game doesnt mean your great at it. But if the computer is saving some shots that you KNOW wil go in then its a problem but if its every now and then, then eh who cares. Plus theres no garantee your idea is full proof anyways. A good one but still no garantee.

The shooting isn't as bad this year as it was in the 2004, but it still needs to improve.

There are some shots where the announcer says "he thought he'd score"...I want to hear "he scores!!!".

Please more goals from distance. :)

I think that your idea is great barthez, but I will add on that the actuall graphics of a shot need to be improved for sure. I want to see the ball move how they actually move when someone takes a shot in the premiership the shot needs to speed up really fast then decelerate somewhat as it closes in one the goal. Not to mention some shots have a knuckeling effect if the shot is really hard and the ball does not spin at all. Spining brings me to my next point. There needs to be a way to bend the ball. Not just a button where its like press then bend right press this bend left, it needs to be more skill based so if you bend to much you miss not enough the goalie catches it with a smirk on his face. Shooting is not bad now, but improving it would make the game so much more fun.

A good way to use a curve system would be fairly simple, yet somewhat difficult. When you're releasing your shot, you could set a course with your analog. If you're shooting from the left of the goal, and want to curve it around the keeper to the far post, you would start the analog to the right and then gradually pull it to the left. Obviously you can't go overboard, because they would put something in that limits how much a ball can curve, and also how much certain players curve the ball. A shot by Beckham is going to curve more than a shot by Riise.

Actually, that would be a very hard process to do when you're shooting.

Well maybe you cant go down in every detail with that curving idea. What I mean is having each and every player curve diffrently. Now that could work by useing the analoge sticks but it will be hard because you have to run, shoot and curve the analoge stick. Could there be a better way?

If the shooting in FIFA is 'absolutely perfect' then I have just found Jesus...he was behind the couch!

Shooting in fifa is terrible...

end of.

yes it is freaking annoying in world class, you get no breaks some times, even on corner kicks when the goalie is expected to make those saves he just stands there.
