how to control a goalie in fifia08?

[abhi.eternal]

i am really getting fed up by my goalie. i have set automatic goalie to semi-pro but still he cannot save a ball shot from a mile. it is really upsetting when you have 4-0 lead and end game with 4-4!! i tried to control the keeper manually but just cannot get the pointer over his head. the control shows in the help only shows how to do it via a gamepad. can somebody please tell me how to control the goalie manually with a keyboard? i want the pointer over the head of the keeper

Got the same problem, but there is a way around........
as soon as opponent is near the Larger D or is about to enter, press GK Charge button ( W in keyboard , 1 in gamepads ) and he will either shoot away or your goalkeeper does it away, It's simple...................

nt always...W really helps..but a good player shoots it..watevr the case

[cyberpyrate]

to control the goalie tap shift(left) if playing with keyboard

or tap right analog stick with gamepad

[rohan_mhtr]

To take control of the goalie, by default you must press left shift a couple of time when the ball is with the opposite team .

Press arrow keys with D OR A to move in a particular direction.

And if opponent is near press W and A so that goalie slides and take the ball.W and D also helps
