soccer.joel Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I think other people have noticed it but I'm not 100% and feel it needs to be fixed. despite the fact players take many long shots next to none go in. From 20 metres or more goals are scored relatively regularly. With a big club probably once every 3-5 games but in FM they never go in, they are either straight to keeper or very wide. You'd think they score some. With free kicks it's the same ive seen 3 scored in my entire time playing FM13 and according to my team report only 1 goal has come off them. They are scored alot more often in real life. At least 1 a fortnight would be scored most of the time in the EPL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jthewonder Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 OP i've been experiencing the same things. Weird thing is though, i've spent my first 2 seasons as liverpool switching between suarez and gerrard as free kick takers, then changed it in the beginning of season 3 to Isco, they all had 15 in longshot and suarez/gerrard had 15 in free kicks aswell with isco having 16, none of them ever managed to score a single goal. Shelvey however with 13 in FK and 14 in FK has scored 3 times in those 3 seasons however. When it comes to longs shots im experiencing something a bit different for you however, i believe i have scored perhaps 5-6 long shot goals in my 2½ season long game, despite having players with great long shot stats, but i believe they've hit the post or the upper bar something like 50-60 times, allmost every second game or more. Its like its magnetic ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
j88_ftm Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Well I'm glad to hear that it's not just my teams being useless! Every single free kick I've seen so far has either gone straight into the wall or straight at the keeper, and long shots do seem to have a habit of skimming the crossbar on the way over. Come to think of it I think the only goal I've seen from outside the box was one where my keeper did a Dave Beasant-style suicide clearance from near the corner flag straight to the opposing winger about 40 yards out. Other than that any long shots seem to be a waste of time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hashassin Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 i had to wait 3 seasons for my first free kick goal but long shots now are getting in definitely, cant agree on that one... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
soccer.joel Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 I'm the OP. I had a free kick goal yesterday actually Jack Wilshere put in the top corner. It's been my 2nd in 2 seasons at Arsenal. I've had more long shot goals since I made this post but still alot go very wide Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duduric Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I got a player with 19 freekick taking and curls ball PPM, and he is yet to score a goal..... (2 seasons in the club, taking all free-kicks) He gets mostly assists from corners. Still, I already saw him hitting the post like, 20 times Oh, the only direct freekick goal on these 2 seasons, was scored by a defender, with 12 freekick taking. A rocket on the top corner. I did got a 55 yarder once... a terrible kick from a sweeper keeper, straight at my wingback. And he hit it to score his first goal ever for the club, after like 5 seasons. Epic!

Shake Appeal Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 My team has scored one direct free kick in six seasons. Hit the bar plenty of times, though! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
