PES 2017: Transform free kicks - the best tips
Last week Konami released "PES 2017". This practical tip shows you how to directly convert free kicks in football simulation.
PES 2017: Leaked free kicks
As in real football, free kicks also offer a good chance of scoring goals in PES 2017, even if nothing comes together in a playful way. However, the standard situations and their execution have always been one of the greatest difficulties in football simulations, it seems almost luck is needed to actually sink a free kick into the net. Nonetheless, there are a few ways you can get free kicks on target.
- One of these is the lifted free kicks, in which you send the ball gently towards the opposing goal.
- To take such a free kick, you must aim the finish line over the goal towards the free goal angle. You should push the left stick forward, i.e. away from you, and charge the shot indicator 10-20%.
PES 2017: The "boring" free kick
This variant is particularly useful when the gate distance is not too large of around 20-25 meters. The shooter uncompromisingly puts the ball on the goal.
- For this purpose, you should move the finish line into the goal angle, the shot display must be charged to about 40%.
PES 2017: The flat free kick
Flat free kicks, possibly even under the wall, are also promising.
- The finish line must point to the corner of the goal again, the left stick pressed down and the shot indicator charged to 75%.
PES 2017: The "Schnibbelball"
Free kicks are, of course, predestined to demonstrate your ability to cut balls.
- In order to skillfully cut the free kick around the wall, the finish line around the wall must point into the free corner of the goal. The left stick should be pressed in the direction of the corresponding gate side. The same applies here: charge the shot display to about 75%.
PES 2017: Steer free player on free kick
Another interesting and promising variant for free kicks is the control of a free teammate.
- To do this, press "L1" and "R" simultaneously before executing the ball at rest. You can then move a player on your team freely. This is particularly useful if you now use the free-kick shooter to hit a precise cross on the free-running teammate that the teammate can use.
