Free Kick Specialization seems like one of the strongest abilities in the game to me, in part because free kicks are so common and because it doesn't rely on someone else to finish the job (through an assist). Boosting the accuracy of free kicks also seems to turn them into pseudo-penalties (i.e. a highly likely goal for the team that gets the shot).
Which begs the question: why is it rated at only 40 points, cheaper than the vast majority of other specializations?
Good question, and yes the most productive SA is Free Kick... but still we should take it like a gift, if it would be to expensive they would cry :) so is better like that.
And defenders with SA 'defensive wall' skill also block a lot, the crowd also suffer from free kick specialists. :D
It all depends on the sequence within the game engine, if your down to score from FC you will other wise 'crowd beware'
I think the FK special ability is common since they are many players in football IRL that can take shots from free kicks
Messi, Ronaldo, Cazorla, Arteta, Ian Harte, Beckham, Bale, Gerrard, theres probably hundreds of players that you could name that are effective from free kicks.
My FK specialists are currently putting the ball out of the ground or smacking the DC's in the nuts. :( Might just try the GK in the next game, he can't do any worse. :rolleyes:
