Fifa 2008

I've never seen it work.

GE · 16th July 2008, 11:48

I've tried it online too, the exact same thing happened. Bounced off the bar onto keepers back then in the net

i try it a lot, but only managed to score once.

You have to shoot with the "lob/cross" button, not the "shoot" button. Fill the power bar, and you will get it on target 75% of the time (Usually hitting the bar or the keeper punching it over for a corner) It depends what player you use to shoot though. Eduardo is very good at 'em, as he's left footed.

Rooney is the best for scoring from the halfway line. He actually shoots it instead of most other players just crossing it

Have played 7 ranked games, lost 6 of them.

I'm shit. Although I try to play good, attractive football.. the opposition always hoof the ball forward to quick and strong strikers. No midfield play whatsoever.

I play like United, attractive football but with effect as well. I demolished a guy 6 - 0 with Spain against France last night. It was beautiful to watch, he wasn't shite either, every goal was brilliant, one was reminiscent of Robbie Keanes in the 4 - 4 against Chelsea.

Jacob · 16th July 2008, 16:11

I played a guy who had Inter, ran down the wing with Nani, cut inside his right fullback and smashed a 30 yarder into the top-left corner of the goal keeper. Almost identical to the goal Nani scored versus Middlesbrough. In the same minute aswell!

Then the opposition went on to win 1-4

DanNistelrooy · 17th July 2008, 15:58

I have asked this question before but no answer.

Is it possible to choose which players are in the area when you have a corner?

Thanks.

I'm just updating all the major summer transfers, is there a way to get Luka Modric to spurs? He's in the national squad but not joined to any club

Go to International Selections and take him off of Croatia, replace him with someone else and he will then be in the free agents when you do club transfers. Transfer him from Free Agents to Spurs.

Make sure when you save you create a new squad file, squad file 2 or 3 as when you go online it automatically saves over squad file 1 so you will lose your changes.

Manual through-balls are the shit

Don16 · 5th August 2008, 20:32

Nice one!

Solius · 6th August 2008, 00:47

I just won 50 - 0

uae · 6th August 2008, 00:50

fair play to the person who took the thrashing and did not quit

edit: unless you were playing single player?

I've never known what the points in brackets mean, surely if you win 50-0 you should have more than them?

I'm not sure how long it was. Yeah I thought I should get more first but it might be because he was a lower skill level then me or something. The points are used to buy pointless shit at easportsworld.com for your avatar

I have only recently starting playing Fifa and I really enjoy it. I get seriously pissed off though. You can't tackle and win the ball without giving away a free kick. But while playing the computer they can take your head off and you won't get a free. And the opposition seems to be able to turn every which way but loose with the ball, yet my players lose control if they change direction once. Whats the story with that? Or am I just crap at it?
