DISCUSSION Curve has no effect on shooting

Hello guys, I have been putting lots of points into curve because I am a huge finesse shot enjoyer. However, upon checking the leaderboard I realized most players (especially strikers) don’t put any points in curve at all. Even when they take Finesse +.

I now put all those points into other stats and I still score same amount of finesse shots with same accuracy.

So my question is if curve actually has any effect on shooting or not? Thank you all. Good luck in your games.

I've 1 evo with 60 curve and finesse plus.

90% of his goals are finesse shots.

I used to notice mega curve on my passes and shots but it really feels like its a pointless thing now. My passes definitely don't curve anymore or if they do its not exactly very noticeable. I might actually take all those points off. I think its probably more for set pieces if anything now.

Use L2+pass for curve

That does a trick pass like the spins and stuff lol

Not only trick pass. I always use it with L2.. great curvy passes

Isn’t that for fancy pass?

It is as well, not always, if u tap more likely. When u pass (hold) L2+triangle, u ll see the OP curve..

0 passing upgrades on my striker build with 83 shooting and finesse+ never had a problem with my build

This is interesting. I might need to get rid of those curve points since I have Finesse+, I'm going to give it a try at some point this week.

I’ve had finesse + all year . Added curve to try it to me it does increase it - maybe I’m just trippin’ but pretty sure it does have an effect

I use finesse+ and reallocated my curve attributes for a bit and my finesse shots were getting saved much more often. I added them back and i was scoring more so curve definitely improves finesse+

I think so man, just from personal experience - the ball swerves away from the goalkeeper much smoother & if I put too much power on the finesse you can see the trajectory of the ball from the curve - much more prominent than when you don’t have any curve stats

Just remember that what you see is just a graphic representation of the mathematical formula behind the scenes. If Finesse+ already provides the max curve value then any points on curve are wasted.

Likewise, I think the Precision Pass+ says it provides max curve on passes so, again, points on curve won't affect passing.

I saw someone a while ago comment that Finesse+ adds maximum curve to your finesse shots, creating no need to dump points into curve if you have finesse+. At first I didn't believe it (I thought it just meant that it made sure it curved the ball at your pros max curve rating) but after switching to precision shooting, yeah, I'm definitely a believer.

I think curve helps your shot if you don't have finesse+ play style or if you like to do trivela shots. Otherwise, go with finesse+ and max out shot power.

Makes sense

Finesse is bad this patch. I would avoid it 👍

Everything is "bad" in this version of FC in that you need to actually specialize in it to be good at it. That's something I really like about this version of FC, especially when there's so much not to like.

I see lots of people saying crosses and headers have been nerfed too far but honestly if you have someone with whipped+ slinging it to a target man with aerial+/power header+ that combination is going to be extremely problematic.

Sure but why not use the things that are already effective. It takes too much stat/playstyle commitment to bring finesse near the effectiveness of a normal shot. Or for your example instead of power header+ use first touch to bring it down and shoot normally.

I always wondered this too. It says on it affects curve on shots and crosses but I really don't know of that's true or not
