Hey i agree with u PunkSk8r. there is some file thatt dosent load up correctly when the game starts and that is creating the problem. bocs ometimes even when i have no confidence u can time the backfoot coverdive, bacfoot drive, actually all the shots with good power. Th eproblem i think is somwthing bothering the animation when the file is not loaded correctly thus always results backfoot drive as mistimed.
Some experience programmer can look into this................
