FIFA 20 has introduced a new complex free kick system, but apparently poorly executed shots can still end up in the goal. We take a closer look at this phenomenon.
Currently, more videos of free kicks in FIFA 20 are appearing online, which are executed poorly on purpose. The curious thing is: the ball still ends up in the goal! What is going on with the new free kick mechanics?
This is what is seen in the videos: The videos show that the shooters aim directly at the center of the goal from a good free kick position, fully charge, and then deliberately press the shoot button again for a red timed finish.
This gives the ball a strange trajectory that seems to find its way into the net quite often. The goalkeeper can only watch in disbelief.
How well does this method really work? How often the ball actually ends up in the goal with this method is unclear. Some users on reddit talk about how the chances of success are very high, with a hit rate of about 70% being mentioned. Others, however, have great difficulties executing it.
Therefore, it is definitely worth learning the right free kick methods to ensure success as well. Here we show you how it works:
This is how the community reacts
This is what the fans say: In these free kicks, not only the goalkeeper is astonished, but FIFA players are also surprised by the strange free kick goals. We have collected some opinions for you:
Legendarysaiyan123 succeeded with the method and reports on reddit: “I tried it in my last FUT Champions game and scored twice… Free kicks are really broken”
He is not the only one; Daveyyyyyyyyyyy also swears by the unconventional method: “If you think that’s luck, then try it in the practice arena. It works 7 out of 10 attempts.”
Fjeuber can confirm this, he claims: “I scored 3 goals with Ter Stegen in a damn match with this.”
For other players, the method does not work smoothly, just like reddit user Kakumite: “I tried it with Roberto Carlos and he sent the ball into the sky. I think this method works best with players with low free kick stats.”
JohnCasey14 shares a similar view, saying: “The same happened to me with Gerrard. It only worked with Aguero, who has a 70 free kick stat.”
And also pdxkristian has had no success: “The method works in practice mode but does not work in an actual game.”
