    Any skills to penalties?

    Penalties are probably the easiest. Its all about how long you press the mouse button for. If you press it for about half a second you should put it in the roof of the net and the keeper will very rarely save it. In regards to position, I usually put it halfway between the keeper and the post and they never save it.

    I score way more volleys than I do penalties, bastard keeper just about always saves them

    I was finding penalties really easy but last night early this morning, I couldn't have put my life on a penalty.

    Have scored a fair few volleys.

    Still haven't hit a floating header. Always the post/wide/saved.

    I dont understand this - just put your guy where the keeper isnt and tap the mouse button when the ball is close. I score 9/10 penalties and headers, and find them by far the easiest.

    It can get really annoying, this was my last match:

    Bury vs Shrewbury (me).

    The game kicks off.
    Free kick to Bury... and its in! WHAT A GOAL!
    Free kick to Bury... and its in! WHAT A GOAL!

    Free kick to Bury... and its in! WHAT A GOAL!
    A missed opportunity for Shrewsbury after a bad pass by _________.
    Thats the end of 90 mins.

    Great stuff, Bury's dead ball overlord scored 4 free kicks in the first half and I had one chance which was a pass.

    That can happen sometimes though in matches. Strikers just don't get chances!

    Anyways, just had a brilliant one :D

    Won the Premier League and Championship. 14 achievements out of 15, only one I didn't get is signing for your favourite team. Rank 1740.

    Nah, you weren't playing in that game. It only tells you about goals for your team when you're unavailable ;)

    started a new game and this time finally I got to play with utd after 3 seasons, then I get relegated back down to championship then back down to league 1. then I quit the browser and vow never to play this game again


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,950 ✭✭✭Pinturicchio


    How the hell do you score from a turn & shoot? They all just go wide for me.

    United after 3 seasons ? Thats quite an achievement.

    Its all about how long you press the mouse button. The more you press it, the further to the right it will go. Ideally you want to put it in the left hand corner. So press it for about half a second and release.

    I'm stuck with that too. For some reason I can get it into the top right corner every time, without knowing how, but the keeper always saves.

    If its going into the top right hand corner you are pressing for far too long.

    I'm using a laptop too, so maybe that's affecting it. I can't figure out how to aim for a side.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,555 ✭✭✭Gillington


    The shorter you hold the button the more to the left it'll go,the longer you hold it,it'll aim for the right hand side.

    What browser's best for playing? My Mozilla seems to lag a bit on it and italways seems to happen right before a shot/pass!

    Runs perfect on chrome.

    Oh, that might explain, same as headers so.

    Chrome hasn't given any problems for me.

    mines really laggy as well can't play it at all anymore.. i downloaded chrome and its the same on that.. really annoying cause i was really addicted to it..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,476 ✭✭✭✭Mushy


    Managed to nab Aldershot up to the championship, got successive promotions in last 2 seasons.

    goal per game ratio was 1:1 exactly. Impressive I thought for the team in it, but not compared to other results here.

    I ended up with Man City in the Premiership, got them relegated. Felt dirty joining them, felt good relegating them and going to Villa! :P

    Nah, I did get City relegated by not really intentional.

    Got to the WC with England and missed that all important chance.

    Oh well, didn't feel too bad about that either!


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,405 ✭✭✭Lukker-


    I have the impressive record of relegating City, Chelsea and Aston Villa while missing the game winning chance vs. Germany. City also re-signed me, but not on the impressive 150k a week I was on before :P


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,283 ✭✭✭Smegball


    This game is just urgh, first time I was ever set for Premiership with Norwich after 2 successive promotions and Corn Flakes retires :(

    This game frustrates me so much but I just can't stop :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,977 ✭✭✭Soby


    snap shots are the hardest


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 552 ✭✭✭Gadge


    My best score yet!

    The only achievement I couldn't get was joining my favourite team :confused:

    jumpers4.png



    My opinion on the different scenarios:

    Volleys: Definitely the hardest. If I nail more than 1 out of 5 I'll be happy.
    Overhead kick: Really should be the most difficult skill but it's not too bad. Usually score 2 or 3 out of 5.
    Snapshots: Not too bad. Usually score 3 of 5.
    Passes. If you're good at timing, you can always get 100%. I normally get around 3 or 4 of 5.
    Penalties: Definitely should be looking for at least 4 goal out of 5.
    Turn & Shoot: Quite easy as well. Usually get 4 out of 5. If the keeper is good to you it's easy to get all 5.
    Headers: The easiest. Should be able to get 5 out of 5 attempts.

    My 2 cents.

    Big improvement. Goals scored was sensational. Finished up with my favorite team. Man United, only one season though, didnt win the league. Got called up for World Cup Final with England. Had a volley saved in the 119 minute to win it..That was it..no penalties??


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,838 ✭✭✭✭3hn2givr7mx1sc


    Penalties are fúcking ridiculously hard in this.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,946 ✭✭✭✭Mars Bar


    I'm fairly certain this game was the reason the trackpad button on my laptop made weird clickly noises. Got the case changed recently so got a new trackpad which means I'm staying away from this game!

    If you hold the mouse button for a little bit it puts height on the ball and the keepers rarely save them.
