Can someone help me here? I dread getting fouled because my free kick skills are terrible, all I can do is blast it at the keeper. Can someone please help me or direct me to a thread where this is talked about? I tried using the search function but got no results.

It depends on the angle. But use the finesse shot and curl it (up and diagonally on the left stick) towards the open part of the goal, which is usually the near post.

And power-wise, depending on the distance, about a third of the power meter will be great for FKs.

use L1 PS3, or LB, 360.

That's the driven shot, right? (I haven't played FIFA in months)

That was good. I can do the around the wall bender as he showed pretty reliably offline with RVP or Cesc (built up FK ratings) in MM, but I can't get it over the wall & under the bar with any consistency...

Ryanmjo, here's a nice tutorial on free kicks from Sportsgamer, hope this helps:http://www.sportsgamer.com/content/1...on-free-kicks/

Also, I'd add that you want to use the chip shot button with finesse on kicks close by the box. But you still want to put topspin on the ball and maybe a little english with the right stick. Brian
