My airpass sequence photos

As promised,here they are! Got batteries after work today.
It is a sequence of 6 pics....unfortunatelt 2 are a bit out of focus,but they show what I want anyway so it doesn't really matter

Pic#1 : My Ajax player broke into the open just past midfield and has spotted the future receiver (bottom right corner)

 

[drjohnnyboy]

Pic#2 He prepares for the pass......

 

[drjohnnyboy]

Pic#3 the ball is airborn and is on target........

 

[drjohnnyboy]

Pic#4 out of focus...but the ball hits the ground in front of and a bit to the left of the opposing player (camouflaged in his uniform)
and bounces directly in front of my player SWEET!

 

[drjohnnyboy]

Pic#5 superbly out of focus! but the ball is under my players control and he pushes ahead of the shocked defender

 

[drjohnnyboy]

Pic#6 Nice low shot to the opposite corner of the net and the game is in the bag!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[fitba]

thanks for posting those pics m8. sweet goal BTW I know this game has it's weak points, but sometimes it peaks too. hope EA don't take any more steps backwards now that they've got a semblence of good gameplay.

anyone scored a free kick from 48 yards or more yet? i've scored 3. one with Henry, one with Totti, and one with Saviola. pretty obvious who my favorite teams are.

also, to do the wall jump, press Triangle. to do the bicycle/overhead kick (when the ball is still in the air) press Triangle, then Square.

here's something else to try, i did it with Bergkamp. when you have the ball around 12-24 yards out, throw the ball to your striker in the box, and when the ball is in the air (make sure you press X also, so that your player is selected when the ball is in the air), press Circle (hold down to determine power). the ball will not hit the ground, your player will redirect the ball with his foot, and hopefully it will end up in the back of the net. i've only done it once, but i've come very close many times.

try using the Square button for free kicks that are 40+ yards. as long as you have a pretty clear shot on goal, use Square. it works very well.

i posted this in the Tips and Tricks thread as well, sorry for the double post.

after playing an entire game with Real Madrid, just screwing around with the freestyle controls, i found out a little bit about how to do the special moves, here's what i found out:

if your player has a special move, then most likely, they will do their special move if you make a circular pattern with the right analog stick. clockwise and counter-clockwise both work. (i think the move that the player does depends what foot the ball is on). if you are holding the sprint button (R1) then the freestyle controls WILL NOT work.

do what i did, and just play a game with Real Madrid, and spend the whole game just trying to figure out special moves, and the right analog stick. the people with the coolest moves are:

Figo
Ronaldo
Zidane

Zidane does a spin move (which everyone knows).
Ronaldo does a little thing where he puts his foot on the top of the ball, and rolls it forward.
Figo stops running, and plays the ball hard to his other foot and pushes it ahead.

i'm pretty sure that the 3 i mentioned above have multiple special moves, i believe that each of them have at least 2 special moves.

hopefully this helps some of you that didn't know much about the freestyle control.



p.s. in that same game, i scored on a free kick from 44 yards out with Roberto Carlos. i hadn't scored with him before, and i must say, his celebration is REALLY COOL!!!

w00t!

 

[drjohnnyboy]

Yeah, I like to do the 360 spin with Diouf in Liverpool...

But to perform a special move with a player, he has to have NO
FATIGUE on his status bar (the blue dots).If he is tired,you won't be able to do a trick with him.And don't use sprint!Has to be at a medium speed to perform moves.

Does anyone know how to get routine goalkicks to make it at least over the half-line...even with Barthez or Kahn I can't get it that far!!!!

I have been experimenting with the R1 sprint button.
What I tried was holding the R1 button and then
pressing the SQUARE button. The goalie seems to put more
power on it and it goes further. I've only done it a couple
times because i dont do much goal kicks. You guys should try and
post some feedback. Try experimenting the R1 button with other types
of kicks as well.

you can have blue dots and still do special moves, i did 2 spins in a row with Zidane. each special move takes a certain amount of your stamina, and if you have enough stamina left, you can do the special moves. you can't do special moves if your player is really low on stamina, but having only half is ok, it will still work.

as for goal kicks, i never kick it far because the other team will get it 99% of the time, right out of the air, it's really impractical to use square for goal kicks. just kick the ball to your nearest defender with the X button, the opponent will never get the ball from you that way. so basically, i don't know how the R1 button affects the power of goal kicks. someone else mentioned that you can throw the ball further on a throw in if you hold down R1. i can't confirm that either, however.

Cheers!

 

[drjohnnyboy]

You can't throw the ball further with R1, but the cursor moves faster,that's about it.....

about the special moves/stamina thing, I guess with Zidane you can do more when he is tired, but try using an average player,
sometimes I only have like 3 dots and the player would not react to the freestyle button...

i did. R1 + square, R1 + circle... first you think it does something different, but then you realize it's only wishful thinking....

now, can anyone tell me how you can control your shooting... i don't mean directionwise, but power/height wise...

i've played about 50 matches so far and i still have no idea how i can control these aspects. it all seems rather arbitrary..

hey guys i have the xbox version n i just want to know, do u get any slow down when the ball gets sent up field? because i do, it may be my xbox idk but do yuo guys ever get slow down on ps2 or xbox?

 

[drjohnnyboy]

On ps2 there is slowdown when you are clearing a cornerkick from your box....probably because there are a lot of players in one area.....

usually the farther the camera id from the field, the more slowdown there will be, which is a shame because I like to see all my players so I know who to pass to!

 

[drjohnnyboy]

I just wanted to know if anyone has been able to control lob pass heights/speeds,sometimes it seems when you turn quickly and shoot off a lob pass that it is harder+lower.......
