Anyone scoring ANY chip shot goals?

Used to be TOO easy and the most common way to score in FIFA11 and now it seems they've taken it to the other extreme! Nowadays I don't even try because I have a much better chance of scoring wit ha placed (finesse shot) or even going past keeper if he commits, when I do the chip shot, the keeper never seems to fall for it and still jumps high up enough to get fingertips on it....

Anybody scoring chip shots?

First one I scored was a chip, VP no less (He was still just starting and it was more an accident).
Hit it from the left side with the outside of my right foot. Since then I have scored zero however. The keepers DO react insanely fast if you chip from close. I think there is actually a new animation for them sort of reclining and reaching up, and it comes out of nowhere.
 
So no-one experiencing what I wrote about in my last post? :P

I played another game last night where the opposition had 55% possession and ZERO shots on goal for the entire match. And they did get to my penalty box plenty of times...???????

I play on Pro TD and I find that they usually try to get a close shot off inside the box rather than from outside the box. I've seen the odd shot now and again. They do get shots off though.
 
I have not had that, they do seem to wait for wide open chances though, which the AI can get easily because of the speed at which they cut back/to the side. I always let in shots though, maybe you're a better defender than me :P

I give up way too many penalties. The CPU is a bit tough to defend in close quarters at least for me as I am still getting used to the new defending. They just kinda walk in if you just try to contain them and I refuse to let the computer play defense for me. I am getting a bit better though and the game is very good to say the least.

On the demo I was conceding goals of all varieties, including shots outside the box but now on my Player career I am controlling ONLY my virtual pro. Which means I'm not giving up the gaps in my defensive half as much but if a team gets near your box with that much possession, they should at least try and put in a cross or a shot.

Guarantee if I played by controlling the whole team the outcome would be different. As my mate said, the offensive AI on FIFA is just not risky enough with it's forward third play. You can literally jockey the opposition right back to their goalkeeper when that player should actually pass the ball to a team-mate.

Even going forward, it's very rare to see a risky/speculative pass or through ball. They hang onto it until the pass is totally safe. I haven't tried changing anyone's chance creation tactics but I shouldn't have to.

Given up 6 penalties in I think 12 games in my CM. All have been converted lol. I've earned two and missed both somehow, one saved one I was hitting shot too fast skipping a cut scene.

They do just walk in, and as soon as you stick a foot in they make a quick cut, at least that's how it seems to me. I've had some 'good' penalties where I literally just blew a guy up, but then I've had some really iffy ones where the impact engine kicks in and someone looks like he was jump kicked.
 
Hah. I've seen some really interesting and good decisions for handball. Looked realistic and not something you scream at the TV crying of cheating. It was good.

One thing that hasn't won me over at all is the impact engine. Whilst I love the way injuries manifest in the game and the cutscenes that follow, the off the ball collisions look NOTHING like the realistic impacts EA marketed and sold as a major feature.

How many times have I seen two of my own players run into each other when they are in no need to walk in the same spot, or you get tackled and about a second later, when no one is near you, the player gets body slammed like a wrestler...by a GHOST?!!!
 
Every time I'm caught offside play restarts with two of my forwards on top of each other and falling over, every time! And I don't even play 2 up top I play a forward with CAM behind him!
 
I've scored one, only one I tried. One-on-one with the goalie rushing out and just as he dived Bellamy pulled off a very cheeky low chip (double-tap, although I'm not sure that does anything other than make your button press really short) just over the goalie and in.
 
This patch 1.02 for Ps3 and Pc,got out yesterday



-Fixed a memory leak that would cause Origin to crash. -Fixes to our installation and updating systems.
-Fixed an install issue that was forcing users to download all language packs.
-Goalkeeper control in online matches: We asked for your feedback and we got lots of it. After reviewing that and our own telemetry, we decided that enough people were abusing this feature online to negatively affect the experience of the majority. So we have decided to remove the ability to press Back/Select and play as the goalkeeper, allowing the CPU to defend, in all online matches. The function remains available in offline matches.
-Fixed a situation that would see the user in an empty FUT Store without button functionality.
-Fixed a FUT crash when using custom tactics.
-Fixed a hard lock that would occur when applying a Manager Contract after purchasing a Bronze Premium Pack in FUT.
-Fixed a situation that would see some users being disconnected from FUT after five seconds of connectivity.- -We have optimized the FUT server to speed up transactions.

Hi, I ve bought it now but ingame there I ve a lot of stuttering and many lags. I use ATI graphic card and my PC is good enough to play PES 12 on all high. I also play mostly offline.
What to do now?

Sorry but could someone give me a solution for my question please?
 
Notebook with Intel i5 and Ati HD 5850 graphics card.
As said, all games like Starcraft 2 and Pes 12 run without problems.
Tom, do you play the game on Playstation 3?
 
Having quite a bit of lag since the update! Coincidence? Maybe but I was getting hardly any since the game was released.
 
@Kije: Hmm, that should be more than just enough to run FIFA properly, indeed.

I'm playing it on my 360, so I'm afraid I can't be much of a help here. I've only played the demo on my PC, so I don't quite remember the settings you could choose.

Have you tried this or this?

Will try it...thanks
 
This is the best football game i've ever played.

If the computer shot a lot more from distance it would be almost perfect, after slider adjustment.

I just love the midfield battles, the cpu defending, the mastering of my own defence, the collisions and injuries and all the little touches like players ducking under the ball, i even saw Saurez making a last ditch slde in attempt at a ball across teh box yesterday.

The game is truly outstanding, and thats from someone who was incensed at the demo.

The individuality is all there to see too. I played Portsmouth with Liverpool last night and lost, in the main because Erik Huseklepp was up against Carragher and was too pacey for him. When i played them again i switched Agger to mark him and won 1-0. Superb game.
