Corner Kicks

[PeruvianPlaya954]

Hey, guys. As some of you know, this is my first year back playing PES after several years on FIFA. I love this year's game, as it brings back so many of the good, fun things from its glory days.

One thing that I noticed was different is corner kicks, with the trajectory now displaying for how high and low you want to kick them and how much curve. I really like this addition as it brings a new level of realism and diversity of corner kicks into the game.

However, I'm pretty bad at them. Every now and then I might get on the end of one, but that is usually few and far between. I remember back in the day the "Send Up on Set Pieces" option would usually result in a few goals for your centerbacks, but I have yet to see that. Even when I played a 16-team tournament, I saw no defender goals or assists, just forwards and midfielders, even from the CPU.

Now maybe there is no way to fix that on the CPU's end (a bummer) but are there any pointers for how to take corner kicks as a human player? Is it maybe the team (I'm using mostly Peru which has okay but not great heading centerbacks) that is the problem?

Any pointers, tips, suggestions, or help is appreciated!

Re: Corner Kicks

in the set piece settings, there is a players to join attack, that is what you want.

Corners are harder then on fifa because players dont jump and make contact with everything like they do in fifa, so it really takes a great delivery and the ability to knock it home.

hope this helps

Yes, I know about that and use it, but still I'm not very good at whipping in set pieces. I don't think I've figured out the right combo of height + curve.

Fun challenge to learn, though.

You can also switch to an off-the-ball player and get a running start to try to head one home.
