Hint: First touch moves (air):
Flick ball over: Press the Right Analog-stick towards
the nearest opponent. Flick ball into a space: Press the Right Analog-stick
away from the nearest opponent. Bicycle kick over your head: Press the Right Analog-stick
in the opposite direction that you are facing.
Hint: First touch moves (ground):
Nutmeg: Press the Right Analog-stick towards the
nearest opponent. Flick the ball into a space: Press the Right Analog-stick
away from the nearest opponent. A nutmeg, but with eventual tackle: Press the Right
Analog-stick in the opposite direction that you are facing.
Hint: Good volley:
Press L2 then Circle
to chip then volley the ball in a unique way.
Hint: Good skill:
To do good skill, press L2
and move the Right Analog-stick in any direction. You can do nutmegs.
Hint: Easy goals:
You can score easy goals by crossing
from the side and pressing Circle for a bicycle kick/header (90% success
rate). Swap sides and sabotage your opponent's line up. Take off the king-pins,
put center backs up front, etc. Then, resume control of your original team
again and continue playing. When losing badly, pause game play and select
"Choose side". Choose the other team, allow your original team to
score as many own goals as needed, then switch back. Move the Right
Analog-stick slightly towards you then immediately press Circle. You
will be able to score a beautiful goal from about 30 meters with some nice
action. Select a good corner kicker (Pires, Beckham, Paul Scholes, etc.).
Change your formation to 4-3-3 and when you get a corner you should see a
striker on the spot for penalties .Get the shooter to aim there and try to hit
the green spot on the bar. Once he kicks ,the keeper should come out to try to
get the ball, but your striker will shoot a goal that he should get into the
back of the net about 70% of the time. Note: This trick may not work if the
other side uses a 3-5-2, as a defender will catch it . Nonetheless, this trick
is very useful when you are a goal down or near full time. To score an easy
goal from a penalty, just tap Circle with no direction pressed. You will
nearly always score. Use the following trick to score from the half way line.
Take the kick off and move the player with the ball into the opposing half.
Quickly press Right Analog-stick Away to flick the ball up and shoot.
Note: Make sure you are not running. This is difficult to master, but if done
correctly the ball will crash into the net off the bar. When taking a corner,
choose "Driven" mode. Then, press Shoot and move the free
player to the edge of the penalty area, where the semi-circle meets the box. As
soon as the corner is taken, move in the direction of the goal, and press Shoot
so that the bar is a third lit up. This does not work every time, but it is the
best way to score from a corner. To score an easy goal, run directly up to the
goalkeeper. Hold L1 and tap Circle. You should see that the ball
has gone in the net for a goal. When taking a corner, use drive then Circle.
Move your player directly to the post. When the corner is taken, press Circle
and the player will automatically run back and head it into the goal. This
works almost all of the time if done correctly, even in World Class mode.
Hint: Scoring on a
corner kick:
The best corner kick play is the
Near Post. Choose Near Post then press Triangle. If the player runs in
past the defender, just kick it in after the bounce. If the player runs past the
defender on the outside, simply head it in. If your player tries to run to the
outside but the defender blocks him off, then the ball will go to the man in
the middle. Switch to him and kick it in.
Hint: Easy wins:
If your rating is higher than the
opponent, you can simulate the match and win about 75% of the time.
Hint: Take over
simulated match:
When simulating a game in career or
any other mode, you can jump into the action at any time by pressing X
and selecting "Yes". After that, you will be sent to the pick kits
screen. The match will not start from the beginning. If you were losing, quit the
game and restart by playing it manually, as the team you are against may be
stronger. You cannot go back to the simulation screen after you intervened. You
must quit and restart.
Hint: Free kick:
In other to get a good free kick,
you must stop the meter at the green spot and the ball must curved to fool the
keeper. There is no need to bend the ball, because it bends itself. If you bend
it, you will miss the goal. The meter must stop near the green spot. Just aim
the ball by the side of keeper slightly to the right of your screen. There is
no need to bend the ball and take the free kick. Try this in practice mode. To
score a free kick, put the target in the top corner of the side of the goal
that the wall is standing in front of. Make sure that you do not press Spin
and that the spin target is in the dead center of the ball. Put a fair amount of
power in, but do not go near there. Also, make sure the accuracy is in the
middle of the green. The ball will shoot over the wall and into the top corner.
Hint: Restore physical
stats:
Save the game after a career mode
game. Quit, then reload the saved game to increase the physicals stats of your
players.
Hint: Be Celtic or
Rangers in career mode:
When you first try to start a career
in Region 1, you will notice that you cannot be Celtic or Rangers. However, if
you select "Back" then go in again several times, Celtic and Rangers
will appear at the selection screen. Before you start a career, save your FIFA
team as a fairly good team (about 3.5* or 4*). Then, go into career mode.
Hopefully you will be able to start as Celtic or Rangers. Choose Celtic, and
win everything possible that season, the Scottish Premier, and Scottish Cup.
Then at the end of the season, your chosen FIFA team will be there for the
taking.
Hint: Changing teams in category:
When
you start a new season and cannot find the team, go back then enter that
category again. The teams will change.
Hint: Team selection
in career mode:
If you cannot find your team in a
region in career mode, choose that team as your "Own Team" in your
profile in My FIFA 2005. You will then find that team listed first in its
current region. If you cannot find a FA Premier League team such as Arsenal or
Manchester United in Region 1 in career mode, it is because you are not a high
star manager. Teams like this will probably want at least a two and a half star
manager or a one and a half star manager with a very good win percentage. If
you are just starting a new career, try taking a team either from the Scottish
Premier League, such as Celtic or from the Football League 1 or 2.
Hint: Strong team:
To play with a great team on career
mode, first choose your favorite team on the beginning screen. Then, go to the
player creation screen. Create the players that you want or need. At the team
options screen, send them to your team, then go to career mode. In the screen
that appears before the game (squad and formation screen), make the necessary
substitutions. This is an easy way to play on professional or world class
level, and give your players all the needed stats. This trick works well in
career mode, but is extremely time consuming. Create yourself, and up to two
other fielders. Place yourself on any team that has a rating of half a star or
one star (for example, Chattertown in Football League 2). After doing this,
release the best players on that team, keeping only enough players to have 18.
Create a perfect goalie to keep on your roster. Next, create about fifteen
goalies that are perfect, and make sure to set their year of birth to 1960. By
doing this, they are all 44 years old and will retire at the end of the season.
After doing all this, choose the team that you put the players on as "Your
Team". By doing this, when you go into career mode they will be the first
team in the list. Select that team then go ahead and start career mode. When
you start, go directly to the transfer market. Once there, trade away as many
of the old perfect goalies that you have. You will get about 32,000 to 35,000
for each goalie in transfer points. This will leave you with about 250,000 to
300,000 transfer points at the end. You can take that money and buy the best
players so that your team will be stacked from the start of career mode. The
only snag is that besides the perfect goalie you created for yourself to keep,
you will have to keep two of the old goalies. This is acceptable, because when
they retire you will get scouted players that are extremely good.
Hint: Buying players:
Note: Make sure you save your career
before attempting this. When you are in the transfer market in career mode, and
a player will not let you buy him, exit career mode and load it up again.
Sometimes he might let you buy him this time around. Otherwise, you may have to
become a better manager.
Hint: Recommended
players:
Kieron Dyer might only be four and
half stars, but is a lot better. He can run past anyone and is well worth
buying.
Hint: Skip music/EA
Trax:
Press R3 to skip the current
playing song. This can be done in every screen that is playing the EA Trax,
except during loading from and saving to the memory card.

Hint: Club ranking:
The following is a list of the clubs
in order of overall ability. Use the top teams as your opponents in created
leagues and tournaments to test your ability at World Class level, or use the
bottom teams for easy training and cup winning.
Hint: Recommended team development:
In order to have a strong team at
the start of career mode follow these steps. Go in "Squad Management"
located in "My FIFA 2005" and simply put all the great players on a
team that you can start with in career mode (for example, NY/NJ Metrostars but
not Manchester United). Once you have put all the best players on the team,
save the squads. Then, go to career mode At the region selection screen, choose
the region of the squad you put all the best players on. The first time you
pick the region, your new five star squad will not be there, but keep selecting
the region and look for your squad. If it is not, try again. It will eventually
appear.

Glitch: Easy money:
During the transfer season, make
sure you have only eighteen outfield players. Then, go to the team before you
by pressing L2. Then, press R2 + X on a player from that
team. The first player on your team will come up on the screen. It will say
sell player to your team from your team. Accept, but it will not let you do
this, as you only have eighteen outfield players. You will then keep the players
and get how much he is worth.

Manchester United in Region 1 in career mode, it is because you are not a high
star manager. Teams like this will probably want at least a two and a half star
manager or a one and a half star manager with a very good win percentage. If
you are just starting a new career, try taking a team either from the Scottish
Premier League, such as Celtic or from the Football League 1 or 2.
Hint: Strong team:
To play with a great team on career
mode, first choose your favorite team on the beginning screen. Then, go to the
player creation screen. Create the players that you want or need. At the team
options screen, send them to your team, then go to career mode. In the screen
that appears before the game (squad and formation screen), make the necessary
substitutions. This is an easy way to play on professional or world class
level, and give your players all the needed stats. This trick works well in
career mode, but is extremely time consuming. Create yourself, and up to two
other fielders. Place yourself on any team that has a rating of half a star or
one star (for example, Chattertown in Football League 2). After doing this,
release the best players on that team, keeping only enough players to have 18.
Create a perfect goalie to keep on your roster. Next, create about fifteen
goalies that are perfect, and make sure to set their year of birth to 1960. By
doing this, they are all 44 years old and will retire at the end of the season.
After doing all this, choose the team that you put the players on as "Your
Team". By doing this, when you go into career mode they will be the first
team in the list. Select that team then go ahead and start career mode. When
you start, go directly to the transfer market. Once there, trade away as many
of the old perfect goalies that you have. You will get about 32,000 to 35,000
for each goalie in transfer points. This will leave you with about 250,000 to
300,000 transfer points at the end. You can take that money and buy the best
players so that your team will be stacked from the start of career mode. The
only snag is that besides the perfect goalie you created for yourself to keep,
you will have to keep two of the old goalies. This is acceptable, because when
they retire you will get scouted players that are extremely good.
Hint: Buying players:
Note: Make sure you save your career
before attempting this. When you are in the transfer market in career mode, and
a player will not let you buy him, exit career mode and load it up again.
Sometimes he might let you buy him this time around. Otherwise, you may have to
become a better manager.
Hint: Recommended
players:
Kieron Dyer might only be four and
half stars, but is a lot better. He can run past anyone and is well worth
buying.
Hint: Skip music/EA
Trax:
Press R3 to skip the current
playing song. This can be done in every screen that is playing the EA Trax,
except during loading from and saving to the memory card.

Hint: Club ranking:
The following is a list of the clubs
in order of overall ability. Use the top teams as your opponents in created
leagues and tournaments to test your ability at World Class level, or use the
bottom teams for easy training and cup winning.
Hint: Recommended team development:
In order to have a strong team at
the start of career mode follow these steps. Go in "Squad Management"
located in "My FIFA 2005" and simply put all the great players on a
team that you can start with in career mode (for example, NY/NJ Metrostars but
not Manchester United). Once you have put all the best players on the team,
save the squads. Then, go to career mode At the region selection screen, choose
the region of the squad you put all the best players on. The first time you
pick the region, your new five star squad will not be there, but keep selecting
the region and look for your squad. If it is not, try again. It will eventually
appear.

Glitch: Easy money:
During the transfer season, make
sure you have only eighteen outfield players. Then, go to the team before you
by pressing L2. Then, press R2 + X on a player from that
team. The first player on your team will come up on the screen. It will say
sell player to your team from your team. Accept, but it will not let you do
this, as you only have eighteen outfield players. You will then keep the players
and get how much he is worth.
