Know Where to Kick The Ball - Use Power Gauge
Your Gauge is located under your player name in your HUD. Pressing the lob button will let you power up the gauge. Longer presses fills the bar more. Get to know your Power Gauge to help you corner kick more accurately!
Gauge high = Near Side
Gauge Low = Far Side
If you fill up the gauge, the ball will travel fast towards the near side of the goal. Having a gauge filled with less power will make it slowly travel to the far side of the goal.
