Easy scoring
Get a quick short pass to get through on goal. Have
the midfielder pass the ball to a nearby teammate to the side,
then immediately pass it forward to the unmarked striker. Target
the corner and quickly kick in the ball.
For a cross and header, hold [R1] to sprint down the wing,
and get behind the fullback. When you have enough space, press
[Triangle] to cross the ball in. Hold [Square] and time
the ball's release to head or volley home
To score easily from a corner, press the button for the player
at the back post, then hold [Square] and release the button
as the ball approaches the player at the near post. If timed correctly,
he will volley the ball in.
In a one-on-one, when through on goal, wait for the goalie to
charge out, then run diagonally sideways to avoid him. Tap the
ball past him into the empty net.
Passing
Press [X] to use best header for long high balls,
especially your own goal kicks. Use this to nod the ball onto
a nearby teammate, or sometimes have it end up at your own feet.
For a through pass, press [L1] to send a through ball forward
for a team-mate to chase. This is best used when you are just
inside the opponent's half to knock the ball past the defenders
for a forward to run onto. If it gets through, you will just have
the goalie to face.
