[5.7] Controller Tips
---------------------

Suncom SFX-

Two-button plays

To perform two-button plays it is not easy to press two buttons with the thumb, especially when they are diagonally opposite each other. Therefore it is better if you bring your index finger from the top of the controller down over the buttons, so it can be used to press the other button. You might need to twist your hand slightly. Once perfected it becomes much easier to do chips and spins.  This probably applies to other gamepads as well.


MOUSE-

Set Plays

To perform a set play with the mouse hold the right button down and move left, right and forward to pick the set play. You must then get the mouse to a stationary position, i.e. the player is on a circle not a direction ellipse.  Let go of the right button and press it again to activate the set play.

Throw Ins and Corners

If you are not using a set play ensure you direction ellipse is pointing towards the pitch as you will throw or kick the ball behind you.
