Hint: Easy goals:
When one on one with the goalkeeper press L2
+ Circle to do a finessed shot. This will trick the keeper
from going frin one side to the other. For example, fake right
and shoot left or vice versa. It will go in about 90% of the time.
If you have the ball and are outside the area but not on your
half, you can check on the map how far the keeper is off his line.
Normally he is about two meters. You can lob him easily if you
get the power correct. When your goalie has the ball, call a defender back so that you
can pass the ball to him. When you pass your defender the ball,
run about two steps then press Circle to bomb the ball
downfield. One of your forwards should be on the other end and
all of the other team's defenders will be about even with him.
He will chest the ball down, then all you have to do is turn around,
run a few steps, and shoot; all of the defenders will be behind
you at this point and when he chests the ball down he will not
be offsides. Note: This works about 95% of the time. Use the following trick to always make PKs and other shots. Hold
L2 + Left Analog-stick Left and press Circle.
If you want to make a shot about 75% of the time, run full speed
around the defenders or run up the right or left (recommended)
sidelines. Cross the ball to the middle and head the ball. Note:
If you lose the ball in the middle go after it and cross or shoot
right when you get the ball.


Hint: Easy wins:
When you are losing the match, press Start and
go to "Select Sides". Switch to the other team and score
your own goals. When you begin wining you can switch back to your
original team.

Hint: Easy unlockable points:
Advance through the game modes and select Tournament
mode. Select any cup tournament, as they tend to be shorter. Select
the highest rated team or replace a team in the tournament with
a highly rated team from another league. Advance to Tournament
Central and quick sim all the games until you have won the tournament.
You will be awarded unlockable points to spend.

Hint: Easy money:
No matter what team you are in Manager mode, buy the
best free agents in the transfer market. Sell them during the
same transfer market window so you do not have to pay the high
salary. Because they are free to you, once you sell them you can
get the added millions to your bank account.


Hint: Easy trophies:
Go into Tournament mode and select any desired cup.
Then on the "Select Tournament Teams" screen, remove
all the high level clubs and replace them with lower class teams.
Then, select a high level team for you to play as. Select "Advance"
to play the Tournament. You can now get easy wins in the Tournament.
You can even Quick Sim all the matches if desired. If you picked
a high level team to play as, such as Arsenal or Chelsea, and
all the other teams are low level, like Barnet and Boston, then
your opponents do not really stand a chance. Note: If you choose
to Quick Sim all the matches a result may rarely appear stating
that you lost. Save the game after every two or three matches.



Hint: Preview unlockables:
Purchase unlockable items without saving your profile.
After testing items, simply reload your profile to re-acquire
the unlockable points. By using this technique you can unlock
and test all the unlockables in the game.


Hint: Finding Giovanni Dos Santos:
You can find Giovanni Dos Santos in Barcelona's reserve
list. Even though he is only 69 overall you can edit his stats
and make him as good as Ronaldinho. You will then have two of
the best midfielder's in the game.


Hint: Cheaper players:
This trick works in Manager mode when you are changing
teams at the end of a season. At the end of the season when you
are asked whether or not to renew certain players' contracts,
choose not to renew the contracts of your favorite or best players
(the ones you want on your new team). When you arrive at the new
team and the transfer period starts, the players will be free
agents, allowing you to transfer them without paying millions
in fees and allowing you to re-negotiate the contract to fit your
new team.


Hint: Double stepover:
Cristiano Ronaldo and Robinho are two of the best dribblers.
Use the Trick Stick with Ronaldo or Robinho to perform
a double stepover. Press Forward, then rotate left and
then right.


Hint: Rainbow:
With good dribblers such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Robinho,
run downfield with the ball. As you are running or juggling, rotate
the Right Analog-stick clockwise once and your player should
do the rainbow. Remember, do all this while running with the ball.
Glitch: Goalkeeper does not move:
Once the ball goes above a certain height, the goalkeeper
will think it has gone out of play. However, it can come back
down and go straight into the goal without the goalkeeper moving.


Glitch: CPU fouls:
When defending the ball, hold Circle to have
the CPU follow the defender for you and get the ball. Note: The
CPU will sprint and when chasing could cause a foul.
