Tips for scoring when one on one with the keeper???

Does anyone have any tips for this? My team seems to get a fair amount of one on one's with the keeper and they can't seem to put them away. I've tried lowering the CF of the players in question and it doesn't seem to matter. Any tips for this?

Thanks

Wait for 10.3...

What kingpin said. Exactly what he said.

Wait till Feb

theres not much you can do at the minute bar having lots and lots of chances.

Try to see what guys appear in the one-on-one situations. Then train them in "Placing Shots". I could raise my ratio from 20/25% to almost 45%. I don't know if it works for you, but for me, it works (it's not making magic or something, it simply makes you win a bit more games).

Placing shots just means you won't get any rebounds to score from as he will pass it to the keeper instead of blasting it at him.

I'm currently going down the route of trying to round the keeper instead.

My striker doesn't want to adapt his game for that unfortunately.

I test that. It was always the same: when my player tried to round him, he just get to the floor and smoothered the ball. Then I tried this and i'm having a bit of sucess. Well, the best way to solve it is with the new patch, i think.

Well, you could try the round the keeper if it works... The game is so unstable that which works for you could be a disaster for me.

Score in other ways.

I score in other ways. It just seems like I hardly score in THIS way.

Well I'm delighted that this is a recognised problem. I only got the game on Saturday and immediately patched it.

I spent the best part of Saturday afternoon and evening cursing my strikers and bemoaning my luck at always playing a side that happen to have the worlds No.1 goalkeeper playing for them. I tried everything I could and nothing seemed to improve it. I did a random league 1 pick and got Huddersfield. I just assumed after a while that the players were worse than I thought they should be.

I also thought about looking for a virtual Soccer AM crossbar challenge. I've never know a team be able to hit the woodwork as often.

i have reasonably good results with forwards that shoot with power

^^^Shoot with power, has for some reason also given me above average results.

I will see if my striker will learn shoot with power PPM.

Unfortunately one on ones are not that good on the 10.2 patch, but like a few people have said, your best bet is to wait for the 10.3 patch.

You'll be wasting your time with these suggestions, generally.

Wait til 10.3, which is what I'm doing and seem to have to do every year.

Equip your players with C4, get them to blast a hole in the keepers chest, then you will score all your 1-on-1's instead of your strikers smashing the ball into the keepers mid section. Problem solved.

Has there been any info given on patch 10.3?

Sorry this isn't very helpful but both my strikers seem to score plenty of 1 on 1's but i couldn't tell you why. Could suggest it's not a fault with the ME

I'm not faulting the ME. I am just trying to find something that would make my conversion rate better.

I'm going to try that right now.

Best tip of the day! C4 sure would come in handy! On a more serious level...I really want to play this game and I do feel the ME is really good this year but the amount of 1-on-1 and the horrible shooting is quite frustrating to watch. It actually becomes silly after a few games, not to mention the amount of crossbar hitting, seriously...I've lost count how many times we've hit it this season alone...and I'm only 5 games into it!! 10.3 cannot come soon enough.

I've heard people mentioning lowering the creative freedom, but that has done little to no good for me. Placing shots hasn't worked either. No joy playing the game at the moment...to bad it's so addictive still...

Maybe it could be something to do with the composure attribute. I have 3 strikers who seem to get their fair share of 1 on 1's. Will take a look at their attributes soon and see if I can see any common high attributes.

I remember in 07 I had a striker with finishing of 17 playing in L1 but couldn't score to save his life and I put this down to a very low composure attribute

You could try playing with a bit more width.

Strikers are pretty useless in one-on-one situations when they are directly in front of the goalkeeper but if they come from a slight angle, they have better chances to score.

Move into channels+place shots

lob keeper also helps a lot

Make sure you have a left-footer on the left and a right-footer on the right. That usually gives them the most advantageous angle.
