Tastudark Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Hello, firstly just want to say loving the game. Secondly, is it just me or can players no longer score directly from free-kicks? I'm in January of my third season (one season in the Championship then two in the Premier League) and have yet to see a single goal scored shot from a free-kick for or against me. They all either go over, wide or the goalkeeper comfortably saves it. Thoughts? I am playing Classic btw...not that it should make any difference since it uses the same match engine.

Welshace Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 It's similar on the full mode.. I've noticed it to.. hopefully be tweaked in upcoming patches. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
!.m.! Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I actually see it a lot. And they're usually ridiculous goals. Every one the same, the player hits a shot that aims straight down the middle, it gets over the wall by a mile, then has amazing drop on it and the keeper basically just stands their and it goes in inches above their head under the bar.

haunted1234 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 FM12 was the same, never any freekick goals, i doubt anything gonna change in this version Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winto Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Seen a few against, not loads, but in 3 seasons I havent scored one yet. And my freekick taker has 17 for free kicks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpy07 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 - Improved direct free kick trajectory slightly From Match v1315 update, which is coming out. So fingers crossed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jujigatame Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I see maybe 1 every 20-30 games or so, and I have RVP and Baines taking most of mine. Most seem to narrowly miss, or go straight at the keeper. The ones that go in seem to go over the keeper's head rather than in the corner out of the keeper's reach.

RobertPage Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 i have had 1 in 2 seasons. I did have a second but it was a cross free kick and was disallowed for a foul (which was never a foul) on the goalkeeper Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalky1989 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Scored 5-6 direct in just over 2 seasons. Just got a 20 Free kick taker who has 2 of those in his first 10 games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacZidane Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Probably conceded more than I've scored, but there's been a fair few so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
foofighter23 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 not many for me but it seem regens are better than any current real players have ever been at them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersplash Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 not many for me but it seem regens are better than any current real players have ever been at them. I can nod agreeingly to this. Once i got a regen with high freekick ability i started scoring direct freekings maybe once every 10 games. seems pretty fair. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomtuck01 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 FM12 was the same, never any freekick goals, i doubt anything gonna change in this version Well this is complete nonsense. Anyway first things first, there aren't that many goals scored from direct freekicks in real life. Secondly, on FM13 my leftback has scored three direct freekicks by January of the first season, and his freekick attribute isn't very good, (10 i think). So yes, they do happen.

Pretty sure in another thread a user posted IRL free-kick stats, showing that even those regarded as 'top' free kick takers score 5-7 a season. Liam Craig has scored 3 for me this season, they do exist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam Craig has scored 3 for me this season, they do exist. Liam Craig also scores them against me all the time! Him and bloody Callum Murray are brilliant from outside the box against my team!! I have Johnny Hayes bagging 4/5 free kicks a season, and Ian Virgurs pops up with a few as well, id say i score about 5/6 a season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaka Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I picked the one with highest free kick taking and long shots first and rarely scored any dfk goals, were always in the bottom in the premier league stats. Hes stats were free kick taking 17 long shots 15 composure 15 and technique 14. This season picked my free kick takers a bit different and putted more weight in the technique and have scored second most goals from dfk in premier league. My main one have now 15 free kick taking, 14 long shots, 15 composure and 20 technique. So try putting more weight on technique and see if it gets better.

Padders Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Is there anywhere you can see in a players history how many direct free kick they have scored? I'm sure I have scored a few over the years I have been playing Just want some stats to prove or disprove my thoughts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
