Ask player to learn new move.

I asked my Midfielder to blast free-kicks in and he has never even hit the target once! His freekick taking is 15.

Has anyone had good expirance with teaching a new move to a player?

And what stats do you think a player should have to round the keeper and score?

number 1 ) is the player young ?

Whats his dertemination rating ? and teamwork rating ?and workrate rating ?

All of these would contribute to them learning a new move.

for example

Joe Bloggs

Age 20

Work Rate 15

Team Work 16

Determentation 18

He would fine learning a new skill easy and benficall to him .

Hope this helps you

Well the player I asked to power free kicks has got:

Free kick taking: 13

Work Rate: 17

Determentation: 14

Teamwork: 14

If you tell him to blast free kicks it just means he hits them harder - not more accurately. In fact, they are likely to be less accurate!

Rounding the keeper would require acceleration, balance, composure and finishing, off the top of my head (that's not an attribute by the way).

Just to clear up, PPMs are NOT new skills they just influence the choices that players make within their own ability.

Telling a player to blast freekicks just means he's going to choose power over precision, meaning that it's less likely to be on target, but if it is on target it's more likely to beat the keeper.

Having said that, I've seen very few direct freekicks go in since the 9.2 patch, but they may be just me.

Teaching a player to "round the keeper" seems to work well with the current match engine because of the amount of 1 on 1s, but again it's within the players own ability, it's making him choose to round the keeper more often than he'll choose to lob/blast/place a shot even if rounding the keeper isn't the best option available.

how do you ask them to do these things? i would love scott mcdonald to stop hitting the keeper in a one on one and taking his fat arse round the goalkeeper and putting the ball in the bag!

Craig Bellamy hits his shots straight at the keeper every time he shoots for mr. I ask him to try and round the keeper but he thinks it's not in his best interest to learn a new skill!! What do you do!!!!

Older players and players that you have very little influence with are less likely to want to learn a new PPM.

Tommy - player interaction menu, same screen as asking for tutor. Should be a list there so long as the player is eligible to learn a PPM

It's on the Player Interaction screen, although your exact wording may not be there

thank you!

What do you guys think about that Henry Kanu, do you think he'll be good at rounding keepers? (I made a screen shot of his stats and there up there ^)

He looks good, get him to place his shots as well

It was the best thing i did for my young striker, he scores 35-40 goals a season now:thup:

In the Premier League?

If so could I look at him?
