Position with r1

[shahrukh89]

Hi guys,
i have a question. How often you use the r1 button? Always befor you get the ball? or only sometimes i dont know how i use it properly. Does it make you faster? or you can better position to themselves?
I hope someone can help me.
Thanks for useful answers.

Your shots are harder but you also move a bit forward as if pushing against the ball which means that you're more vulnerable against angle shots. I use it very frequently against the CPU (without advancing to the net) but rarely against a human player because if the ball isn't strong, it can be exploited.

I don't know what to tell you. I only use it when my character is already running forward to catch the ball. I do it because of fun/instinct, since it actually costs me lots of points --'
