The controls depend entirely on which specific football game you are playing on PSP, as each series uses different mechanics.
| Game Series | Typical Free Kick Mechanic (PSP) |
|---|---|
| FIFA (09–14) | Aim with D-Pad/Analog → Hold ▢ (Shoot) for power → Use ◎/△ for curl/dip (depending on version). Right Stick (if mapped) adds finesse. |
| PES / Winning Eleven (2009–2014) | Hold ▢ → Power bar → Release. Use D-Pad for direction. ◎ = Knuckleball/Trivela (later versions). L/R triggers adjust camera/aim. |
| FIFA Street / PES Arcade | Simplified: Aim + ▢ + Direction for trick shots. |
