How to Score off a Corner Kick in FIFA Soccer

"FIFA 11" is the most recent edition of one of the most popular sports franchises on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 gaming consoles. The game comes with a slew of features and allows users to play online against competition from around the world. The PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of "FIFA 11" come with the same control scheme. A key component to advancing your game involves the ability to score goals directly off corner kicks. While relatively simple at first blush, scoring off a corner kick can be performed with much greater consistency by applying some main principles. The controls in "FIFA 11" have been in place since "FIFA 08."
