Goalie's usually either make super saves or the ball rockets out the stadium -- definitley needs to be improved for 2010 for a greater variety of goals.

I agree. Long distance shooting is one of the main things I'd like to see improved for 2010.

Confirmed. Long range shots, especially on higher difficulties are completely random, at least for me against the CPU. Anything upward of Professional, I just can't seem to keep a clean sheet, because the computer seems to be able to score from anywhere on the field.

BTW, I play with Barcelona, so I hope its not just a reflection on Valdes' ability.

The question is how to make long shots consistently. I don't think it's possible. It's not possible in real life. Long shots are completely inconsistent, so therefore, Fifa got it right

Yep. Long distance shots are really hard in real life. Thats why you sometimes see guys miss by about 20 yards.

Long range shots are usually luck anyway.

When you hit it sweet, you just know.

Really? The computer NEVER makes long distance shots against me. In fact I can't recall them making a long distance shot. I play on Legendary. I'm not bragging about my defensive skill, I just don't have that problem.

It's not that I want to make them regularly. I like how it is realistic. It's just I've never made one at all on 09.
