Ball Spin:
You can curl your pass, shot or lob by holding the L button (ball curves to the left) or R button (ball curls to the right) while powering up. Curls are especially useful when you want to curl a cross away from the keeper, or when trying to curl a shot around the keeper's outstretched arms.
Keeper Control:
Hold Z button: Keeper charge
R button: Drop the ball
A or X button: Kick the ball (drop kick)
B button: Throw the ball
Heading:
Hold X button: Header on goal
Hold A button: Header pass
Hold B button: Header lob
Tip: The earlier you attempt a header the better. Press the control stick to control the direction of the header.
Volleying:
Double-tap X button (when player striking it is facing the opposing goal):
Volley
Double-tap X button (when player has his back to the opposing goal): Bicycle kick
Double-tap A button: Volley pass
Double-tap B button: Volley lob
Shielding:
Let go of the control stick while in possession of the ball. Your player then shields the ball from defenders.
Tip: When you are in possession of the ball, use this move to protect the ball from an incoming tackler or when you just want to hold the ball up.
During Game Controls Advanced:
One-touch-Tap while the ball is loose or being passed:
Tap A button: One-touch pass
Tap B button: One-touch lob
Tap X button: One-touch shot
Through runs:
Through runs are forward runs by attacking players in an attempt to lose their marker for long enough to get a shot on goal or set up a goal-scoring opportunity. To execute, the player in possession must lead the breaking runner. A perfect "through ball" should result in the runner receiving the ball in space without having to break his stride. Players making through runs are highlighted by a broken line on the field showing the path of their intended run and a motion blur. The line should give the player in possession a good idea of where to pass the ball to in order to play it into a runner's path. To send a player on a run, face the ball carrier in his direction until the run indicator appears under his (the runner's) feet, and press the Z button. You can go to options and turn CPU runs on so they will do this automatically making the game much easier.
One-twos:
You can make the player in possession perform a "one-two" (a swift exchange of passing) with a teammate by flicking the C Stick in the teammates direction.
Your player passes the ball to the teammate, who attempts to return it immediately to the passer (wherever he has moved on the field).
Skill moves:
L+R buttons (while powering up a shot): fake shot
Double-tap L button: stepover
Double-tap R button: double stepover
Hold Y and double-tap L button: reverse stepover
Hold Y and double-tap R button: stepover and drag

5. Definition of Offsides:
Offsides is an annoying penalty sometimes. It happens when one of your forwards is behind their last defender before your team kicks the ball to the forward. Sometimes I have seen the game actually screw up on their offsides calls which, made me really mad. There is one thing you can do though. Get your forwards lined up with their defenders, now send a through ball and let your forward run on it. Your forward can be behind the defender AFTER the ball is already kicked in the air or on the ground. Also, there is NO offsides on throw-ins or on corner kicks. Also, if all of their defense is on your half of the field, just keep your forward at the middle of the field and clear it up to him. He cannot be offsides if he is on his half of the field.
********************************************************************************
6. Cards:
Cards are just as much part of the game as goals are. If you get 2 yellow cards in 1 game, then your player is taken out of the game. If you get 1 red card in a game, then your player is also taken out of the game and cannot play in the next one. I am not sure about the 2 yellow cards if he cannot play the next game. As you see, these can be devastating if your player misses the most important game of the season because he is in card trouble.
Red Card-
Red Card is the worst card you can get. The card kicks your player out of the current game, and the next game. Also, your team has to play with only 10 players in the current game that you get the red card in.
How you get a red card- You get red cards from slide-tackling the goalie when he has the ball, slide-tackling the opposing team's player when he is on a breakaway that is getting close to the 18 yard box, and every once in a while, from just slide-tackling a player in the field from behind.
Yellow Card-
Yellow Card is the best card to get (if you get any card). Yellow card is just a warning, but if you get a second one during the same game, your player gets red-carded and you have to play a man short. The two yellow cards DO NOT make your player ineligible for the next game though.
How you get a yellow card- Slide-tackle the opposing team's player from
DIRECTLY BEHIND him. You may also get one if you have gotten lots of slide-tackling penalties already in the game, and when you slide and get another penalty, he gives you one even if it isn't from behind.
Free Kicks-
Free kicks are given for having a slide-tackle that misses the ball and gets the player, or after you get a yellow or red card. A free kick is when the ball is placed where the foul was committed, and the team gets to kick it.
Penalty Kicks-
Penalty Kicks occur when you foul an opposing player in your box when they are trying to score. What happens is that the ball is placed 13 yards from the goal, and it is just your goalie, a kicker from the other team, and the ball.
Usually you score on Penalty Kicks. Read more about how to score and block them in the Tips and Tricks Section.
