Wow!
Last night i almost scored what would possibly have been my best goal EVER in a PES game. As i missed, i suppose it'll go down as one of my best ever misses.
What made it so good, apart from the shot itself, was that it came from Castello (at 31 years of age) at the Nou Camp, against Barcelona.
So on to the shot. Well, it was a medium high ball forward from midfield from the left, across to the centre right (about 25 yards out from goal). Jaromton headed it down across the pitch, parallel with the box. It bounced once and as it was about to bounce again Castello smacked it goalwards from about 25 yards out, left of the centre. He hit it with his favoured right, but the ball swerved wickedly to the right in the air (sort of across the goal) AND (this is what made me drool) it dipped fiercely in the last few yards. The keeper was beaten at full stretch, but the ball sadly cracked off the cross bar and bounced back down onto the pitch. It was hit with such pace and power, it looked like some wonder goal you'd see on Eurogoals from La Liga or the Portuguese Liga or something. Yes, i managed to nail one of those dipping shots in a game with a default ML player too. Needless to say i spent the next 5 minutes looking at it in replay mode from every angle possible :lol: I think if it had gone in, i would have run around my room like a loony, shirt waving above my head. \\:o/
It was so sweet. And that's why i love PES.
On another note. Unfortunately i haven't managed one of those opposite foot/crossed legs "dink" shots. I would love to score a goal with one.
