PES 2016: Converting free kicks - the best tips for the game

To convert free kicks in PES 2016, you have several options. Use the shot bar to aim at the goal and prove some skill or enough feeling to hit it. With a little practice, you will be able to turn almost any free kick into a goal.

PES 2016: How to convert every free kick

Clearly, in the soccer game PES 2016 you also have the chance to convert a free kick after a foul by your opponent.

1. PES 2016 shows you which buttons on the controller you have to press to score a goal.
2. From about 20 meters away from the goal, aim for the corner of the goal. Wait until the shot bar is charged to about 40 percent to 45 percent and then kick.
3. You also have a high chance of scoring if you aim a little over the goal with the goal line. Aim at the free goal angle, press the left stick forward and charge the shot bar about 15 percent before you let go.

Free kick: shoot flat or hit sideways?

Two slightly more complicated methods lead to particularly beautiful goals:

1. To cut the ball sideways, aim with the dotted line around the wall into the corner of the goal. Here you need a little more power: with a charged shot bar of about 75 percent, you have a good chance to bring the round into the square.
2. With the same shooting power you bring the ball into the goal when you shoot flat. For this, pull the left stick to you and shoot the ball again into the corner of the goal.
