Wee Aja Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 What is it with players on FM? There is a PPM for this but every time the ball comes into the box a player attempts an overhead kick, regardless of player ability or if they have this PPM or not. I regularly have my CB's trying overhead kicks from corners! Nobody ever seems to score them either, which renders their efforts pretty much pointless. In fact, I have had one player score an overhead kick, but I'd holidayed the the last game of the season as we'd already won the league. I missed it and it won goal of the season! Anyone else find this happening a lot? Or am I just insane?

peter-evo Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 I think they are more likely to try it than others rather than trying to control it Im off to watch Match Of The Day G'nite Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadudu Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Yes I see my defenders do that all the time - attempt to knock the corner flag down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Aja Posted October 18, 2008 Author Share Posted October 18, 2008 I think they are more likely to try it than others rather than trying to control itIm off to watch Match Of The Day G'nite I'm assuming you're talking about CB's here Peter? Whilst I mentioned CB's on my OP, I was talking about all players in general trying overhead kicks. Every single match I see "(Player A) has his back to goal, he tries the audacious!" several times. I just think it happens far too often without success. PS - me too, but I'm "multi-tasking"... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingLara Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 also defenders always clear the ball that way too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ainu Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Sounds very familiar and it's really annoying. Players seem to do it randomly, and with rather high frequency. The atempts almost always result in audacious misses, ie both height and direction are completely wrong and the ball ends up somewhere in a dark corner of the stadium. I've had a few go in though, and it'll say something like "ooooh, pure inspiration from xxx", and you'll be smiling for a second and then just think it's silly because it looks just like a header. It's something you'd view a replay of in the 3d engine in FM09, but the atempts definately need to be less frequent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wen1234 Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 I don't know why Crouch doesn't have this as a PPM! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCIAG Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Happens more than it should on 08. Happens less than it should on 07. We need somewhere in the middle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
