You can't mate, you just have to wait for the new Fifa 09; it looks much better and the AI has been vastly enhanced.
You can actually. When you get a free kick in a decent enough position, angle your free kick where you desire, then reach forward and press the eject button on the console and replace the disc with a copy of Pro Evolution Soccer. Hey presto.
The best hint i can give, as rank 580th in the world, is when one on one with the keeper, simply turn slightly to the side, hold R1 and literally tap circle. Once you get the hang of it you will score everytime.
Another is try to avoid using the through pass when there are defenders about as most of the time it goes to the opposition

Fancy a game sometime? I ain't the best infact i'm pretty useless but just wanna see how you get to rank so high.
Yeah, i'll give you a game. I saw you added me on the network thing, so next i see you're online i send you a message or something
You mind if i give you a game. I am pretty good, what Lobby are you usually in?
I usually just go onto quick ranked match, but can meet in any of the lobbys, i will be on at about 10pm tonight (given that we dont play the Network football manager game)
Yeh the main flaw with that plan is that PES2008 is SHITE, and Im bored of PES6. Hopefully PES2009 will be a hell of a lot better, so i can stop fecking playing this fifa shite. Although i am starting to like it, mainly because Im amazing at it.
But thats shit you can't do lay of free kicks. I like on PES2008 how you can do drag backs, and then nuts the player. Is sweet when it comes off.
The corners are shite.
I played Fifa tonight. Then I played PES straight after it. There's no contest in all honesty, PES is far superior, despite it's many faults.
The free kicks are shite in fifa 08 
But still the second best football game after the Fifa 97 and world cup 98

To be fair.. its not. Play fifa for 2weeks, you'll love it.
As a huge fan of the PES series, PES 2008 (Next-gen) is the worst, by far. Gameplay is awful, the frame-rates are embarrassing, online is unplayable because of lag, the list goes on...
Fifa 08 is a MUCH better game. It might take you a couple days to get used to though. As far as realism goes, there's no competition. If you like to play the game 10 times the speed of real football, fair enough, PES is for you. It's just like an arcade game.
I'm hoping Konami get their act together for 2009.
Spot on. I hope Konami have done some serious work on PES2009, otherwise i will not be happy.
I'm not particularly sure how EA are going to go about making a new Fifa without ruining it. It's absolutely brilliant as it is.
Haven't they made the shooting easier for the Euros game?
Yes, they should; as if you choose manual conrtols on shooting in FIFA 08, you will miss the target from 5 yards most of the time.
Hold onto R2 and then press X (pass)...you can take a short lay-off by just tapping it or a longer one by holding down X for longer. It's decent but I'd say they can definitely improve this aspect on the next one because the strike is hardly ever as sweet as it should be.
A tip for when you are running down the wing, if you do a dummie (X,A) and then flick the stick backwards, you do a Cruyff turn. Quite good for getting a cross in.
Another thing that is a bit shit, FA cup finals and charity shield final arent played at Wembley. Why did they bother to put Wembley on the game?
