Anybody here good at FIFA 2002?

[quirky]

I just got this game and im having a helluva frustrating time getting good at the controls. when i pass and lob its a 50-50 chance that it will go where I intended it to go, even worse when i try to kick a goal. I hate it when the net is entirely open and i kick the ball nowhere near it!! arghhhh does anybody have good tips for me?

It's kind of hard at first, but once you start playing it becomes ridiculously easily. Double digit shutouts become the norm.

yeah I just "got" this game as well and I tried playing a bit with the keyboard and it seemed a little difficult. Gonna try and hook up my joypad and see how that works tonight

try changing the passing mode from Auto-Detect to Normal. You'll have much more control over your passes and it'll go the way you intended more often than not.

Also, if you've got the PC version, there's some tweak files to help adjust the gameplay to be more playable. Not necessarily easier, but just not as frustrating while still maintaining some cpu difficulty.

how od you kick the ball up to a player near the goal and then have him bicycle kick or head it in? ie with corner kicks. it cant be LOB and SHOOT cause ive been trying that forever and it never works

I think it's LOB then SPECIAL. Of course I never actually got one to work, but I hear thats how it is.

well on the PC version with a gravis gamepad pro, you lob to the guy that's open, hold either the left or right curl button (the button you press to put curve on the ball) and then double tap the shoot button. Worked for me a few times. Done bicycle kicks, scissor kicks, and the thing where he dribbles it from his chest to his knee to a bicycle kick. Its pretty damn sweet when you can get it to work. Just hold the curl buttons then jam on the shoot button while the ball is in the air.
