WE8 Question...Shooting
I spent hours in practice mode last night trying to work on my shooting but I just cant seem to get it down very well. Does anyone have any tips or hints they can share to make my quest of being a good shooter any more promising?
Try not to let the shoot meter get over halfway unless you're far outside the box. Also, make sure you're facing the goal when you shoot, unless you're at or inside the penalty shot....shots where you turn and shoot decrease in effectiveness outside of 15 yards. Body posture is really important when shooting...if you're going one way it's tough to get a decent long shot if you try and go the other way.
And ratings are really important...bad shooters will miss a lot.

Simple rule... 90% of the time you will shoot where you are facing. So if its just your regular shot you will need to be looking at goal.
Now there are those times where you want to shoot quickly and your player will pull off a rather hard shot not looking at goal. These are low percentage and will not have much power behind them.
Lastly, you player will shot with more accuracy if they shoot with their better foot. There's really nothing you can do to force this but its something to watch out for. For example say your Left-Mid Fielder is shooting and he shoots with his right, notice how aweful the shot will be. There isn't a button to press or any real tactics to get your guys to shot with their better foot its just something to keep an eye on. Better players are more consistent with their "other" foot.
Keep practicing and you will get the hang of it. None of us hard core WE supporters would any good in our first try at the game. We we're all in the same boat at one point.

I just push the stick towards the area of the goal that I want to shoot at.
Ie. assuming that my players are going left to right, and the opposing team goal is at the right side of the screen. (I play in normal-long view or "wide" view most of the time)
up, left will shoot at top left of goal
down, right shoots at bottom right
Seems to work for me although I definitely suck at this game so you might not want to take my advice.

I'm still playing the PC version instead right now, but I saw a cool one last night. Ball played into the box on the ground and the keeper is coming out and my striker is running onto it. Anyways, I had the shoot meter all the way up as I mistimed it but when he go close to the ball, he "toepoked" it over the diving keeper and it bounced into the net. Lovely goal!

That was the counterintuitive thing about shooting that threw me off when I first got ISS. Filling the meter = hitting it harder is the intuitive thing. It makes perfect sense once you play for a while since it is very often the case that the most difficult thing about a real shot is keeping it down.JackB1 wrote:I am pretty sure you can only aim right or left or center......up or down depends on how long you fill the meter
to me this is one of the biggest differences from we7. the bar doesn't go up as quickly, so from outside the 18, you really have to have space and let that bar get well above 50% to not have an easiy dribbler to the keeper. the slower bar seems to give me more feel for my shots, though I haven't gotten very good at it yet.
