also works if you hit the posts a lot.
8) Can you not seem to block any penalty kick shots with your goalie? Before the kicker takes the shot, hold the direction you want your goalie to dive, and tap A rapidly till the guy takes the shot. If it goes to the side you were telling the goalie to go to, he will make a nice diving save, if not, he will sort of sit there since you chose the wrong way to go.
9) An easy way to make penalty kick shots, is to power up the kick so that it will go right under the bar. If you do this and pick a post, the goalie never gets it.
10) If the other team has a breakaway and they are not really close to the box, slide tackle the guy. Sometimes you get a red, but sometimes you don't.
11) Another good way to score, is to dribble almost parallel with the end line, but pointing in towards the goal just a tad. Now shoot it as hard as you can to the goalie's hand that is nearest the goal. Even though he blocks it, your angle and hard shot will make him block it right into the goal.
12) A great way to earn corners is to stand just a little bit past the midfield line on your side of the field; away from the goalie of the other team and lined up with the goal. Then lob the ball full power toward the opponent's goal. It won't make it in, but usually the goalie will punch the ball over the net and you get a corner.

13) Another way to score on corners is to kick the ball to the player in the Y position. Press Y and hopefully the defenders won't head it away. Trap the ball and shoot right then. I never head the ball on corners because it usually gets really off, not even close. I don't trust headers. Volleying is more like it, but there is probably not enough space.

14) Also, I have developed a strategy (which doesn't work every time). You can make some really easy shots all the way from midfield. Just shoot the ball (X button) just before full power, just before it gets into the red zone. Its funny how when you shoot with the power meter in the red zone is so much more powerful than if you shoot with the power meter just before the red zone.

15) A great way to score is to do a diagonal through pass. Make sure that your team's formation is "something-something-3" So you have 3 attackers. With your middle attacker, at about half way in between the midfield line and the goal, pass the ball diagonally toward the goal and up or down. (Use tele camera) Your other attacker should reach it before the defense does, and they should also be making a diagonal run toward the goal. Continue running this way and when you get close enough, just shoot.

16. Secret Moves
In FIFA Soccer 2002, there are some new moves that I have just noticed, and was brought to attention of me by jimi_wite. I have messed around with these and have figured out the button combos of some of the secret moves and shots in this game.
Diving Header-
Alright, get possession of the ball with a midfielder, and dribble towards the goal you are trying to score on. There will be two to three forwards for your team running ahead of you. Now, lob the ball to one of them, and make it a little in front of them so they have to sprint to it. Press shoot and towards the goal you are trying to score on while they are trying to catch up with the ball. They usually will dive and head it in. This header has much more power than a regular header.
Diving Heel Kick-

Now, lob the ball to one of them, and make it a little in front of them so they have to sprint to it. Hold L and double-tap the shoot button while they are trying to catch up with the ball. It will look like they do a diving header, but they will miss it with their head, and hit it with the back of their heels for a sweet looking goal.
Chest, knee, volley shot-
To do this, acquire possession of the ball. Go to the opposing teams goal, and lob it to one of your players. While it is in the air, hold R and double-tap the shoot button. Your player will bounce it off his chest, then his knee, then volley it to a corner of the goal.
Scorpion (Scissor) Kick-
To do this, acquire possession of the ball. Go to the opposing teams goal, and lob it to one of your players. While it is in the air, hold Z and double-tap the shoot button. Your player will be parallel to the goal, and jump up and scissor kick the ball toward the goal you are trying to score on.
Bicycle Kick-
Get the ball and lob it to one of your players who has his back facing the goal you are trying to score on. While it is in the air, double-tap the shoot button and your player will bicycle kick it towards the opposing goal.
