Re: Outside of the foot shot?

Shooting to me is just kind of weird in fifa.

For every shot where I am like ok I get it now, there are 7 shots where I think what did I do differently that made that horrible shot happen?

Benzema on my fut team I can shoot with my eyes closed and power it up however I want and it goes right where I want it to.

Koro Kone on Dijon in my cm can only find the net if I use RB and shoot delicately or if a normal shot I must tap it slightly or the shot is horrendous.

The stupid shooting skill game with the sliding blocker wall and dummy is even worse. If shooting is on a clock face and 3pm is right down the middle then you would logically think 2 and 4 would be left and right post. Except no. It's more like 2:55 is left post and 3:05 is right post.

Not to mention the variables of how did the ball arrive at your foot, how much is it bouncing or off the ground, where is your plant foot, what degree offset are you from the goal, where are you holding the stick, how much power was applied, etc.

Sometimes I think it's a miracle it ever goes anywhere near the goal.

My main gripe with everything about this game is nothing works twice. So I never feel like ok this is how you do this. I have done some truly amazing looking things in this game and then exactly repeated the same thing on the controller and some sort of randomness factor makes the result wildly different.

The point of this is, if you figure out how to hit one with the outside of the boot it will probably work once.

It's 2014 and this is around the 24th edition of this game and we can't pick which foot we want to shoot with? Even if it was simply double tap RB to use dominant foot. Something, anything...
