Goal kicks are in, and you take them yourself.
The ball goes out over your line and the camera cuts behind your keeper. Sweep the stick and a live arrow swings across a 180-degree arc showing where the ball is going. Press A to roll it out along the ground, or X to loft it downfield, both charged so the power is yours. Commit, and the keeper runs up and strikes it while the camera cuts to the broadcast view and control switches to your receiver.
The rules are in too: opponents cannot enter the 18-yard box until he kicks it, exactly as Law 16 says. Watching the opposition hold their shape outside the box while you pick your pass is the moment it stops being "a kick" and starts being a goal kick.
