There isn't a single development plan preset that allows you to train Free-Kicks, on previous editions of Career Mode this wasn't the case; please fix this bug we should be able to train free-kicks.
The only way the Free-Kick stat gets boosted is via the "Balanced" option, it shouldn't be like this.
Community ManagerThank you. I'll pass this on for investigation.
That’s really bad. All of our youth academy players are so bad in free kicks!!! If you don’t buy one of these overpowered re or pregens, you will never make goals after free kicks. Removing this feature is as stupid as removing to see the OVR growth!! Don’t know why EA is making always these weird things!!! Removing good features, removing leagues, removing national teams without saying nothing!!! But then they add the finish women national team, thanks a lot!
Dear EA
You would make a career community very, very happy, if you would please, pleeeeeaaaase fix this.
Scoring goals on corners and free kicks (along with penalties) is being way harder than it should with my team, due to the fact that there seem to be a law against practicing that kind of stuff during training.
Oh, and that highly covered curve shot playstyle? Freaking useless, as the curve stat cannot be trained also.
Honestly, I consider it hugely disrespectful that you are not mending these vast oversights. It's bad enough that you haven't identified the mistakes during pre-launch testing. Next time, use the community during beta testing, ffs! You've got a host of people raring to go and help you with sorting these things out and finding out what's lacking.
Months have passed now. Are you really gonna continue to ignore the fact, that this is bothering so many people?
I cannot in any way possible way fathom the lack of professional integrity towards your own work and product in this particular case. I'm completely blow away by the lack of interest in delivering a stellar product for your paying fans and costumers - especially as this requires so little for you in order to fix such a game breaking problem.
I truly hope that you'll wake up soon and have this done before February. At least, about half of the game's lifespan will have a proper career mode, where most is actually good, Besides this nonsense.
EDIT: Just saw that someone is actually responding now. Greatly appreciated. Fingers crossed here.
Ohoy there, good mister Aljo.
Any development news on this front?
I have a career mode team itching to get to free kick, curve and penalty training sessions.
Also, with reference to my previous posts in this thread, I hope that these training sessions won't be reserved for a few select player positions only (such as offensive midfielders or strikers). Defensive midfielders, centre-backs and full-backs can also function as playmakers in a team, where curve is a pretty good stat for the deeplying creative minds' long range passing, crossing and free kicks.
Fingers crossed here! <3
EA... Please, do something. Anything.
How is this still yet to be fixed?!
I mean, this tells you all you need to know. These guys do not care about career mode players. Once microtransactions are added for career mode, they'll start fixing it
