Shooting is rather dire.......

It is apparent that just tapping the shoot button causes your player to balloon the ball over the bar at 1000mph when you shoot from distance. Shooting from close range hits the ball straight into the keepers arms. Am I doing something wrong?

Without getting into the hole of "comparing games" I find that the shooting system on the Silicon Dreams games (Michael Owens World League Soccer, Uefa Dream Soccer etc), is the best. Virtua Striker 2 is awesome but that shooting system probably wouldn't suit UC.

On MOWLS and UDS you can shoot from anywhere with complete control over the shot, which is sorted(apart from some w*nk player animations). Shots from the halfway line slow down and drop nicely into the keepers arms or dip just sweetly over the bar. Or close range shots slide nicely into the far corner etc. Long range shots, ie 18 yards+ thunder for the top corner, just wide, over or force a fantastic save out of the keeper. TOTAL CONTROL!! UC lacks some total control especially in shooting.
And players running away from, or not taking notice of, the ball in the penalty box is VERY frustrating!!

Final rant (lol):
When the ball hits the net(if ever), it sounds like someone screwing up a plastic carrier bag. And the net stays solid in the action replay too. Small, but frustrating things.

Cool game tho otherwise ;)

Nice one Jon^Von, you are absolutely spot on!!!! The main aim of football, I thought, is to win is by SCORING!!!.... yes scoring. All you guys who keep saying "I found the best way to score is to blah, blah, blah!!!" are just talking total BOLLOCKS!!!

Their is no denying it, the SHOOTING & SCORING is PAINFULLY HARD, its like riding a unicycle WITHOUT a SEAT! It needs SORTING!!!

I know people have found certain faults in the games AI which enable you to score everytime IF.. and only IF you do the same thing in every build up. SORRY BUT THAT 'AINT FOOTBALL. THATS JUST PLAIN BORING!!

Oh yeah and by the way, it ain't 'cos I'm ****!! at the game that I don't score often, as some have already noted, its 'cos they won't admit that the shooting is total ****!!!!! Its like the goalie is a MAGNET and the ball is made of METAL. Am I right???? I think I am!

Please, Please, Please, Please Sort It Out Soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree frankie
UC still needs some major GAMEPLAY sorting out.
I have won the CL on hard by scoring the same boring goals - so dont tell me im **** either.
The shooting system ruins the game, it's 1 of the most fun parts of playing futbol, yet UC is crap in this area. my 2 cents :D

I guess people will always find faults in a decent game. Well, look at it this way. It is the best gameplay in any game out there right now. My four pfennigs (2 cents)

I disagree Joe.
ISS1 and 2 are light years ahead of UC in the most important thing to me in cyberfutbol - GAMEPLAY :D
