Easy win
Choose a side to play on. Then, during gameplay, press
[Start] and choose "Select Sides". Move your controller
under the opponent's side and resume gameplay. Then, score as
many goals as desired (while under the opponent's side), then
just switch back to your side again. This way you will have a
big point lead, depending on how many goals you scored. This trick
also works better when you switch back to your side near the end
of the second half.
If you are drawing or losing and it is in the 90 minutes, keep
the ball on the ground. Almost always, the ref will blow his whistle
when the ball leaves the ground. Keep it low then score.
Easy goals
If you are defending or playing the ball around the
midfield, get the ball from your opponents. Give the ball to a
player whose shooting precision and power is over 60 and you may
train them for better results (for example, Beckham, Figo, Ronaldo,
Van Nistelrooy, etc.). Run to the half of your opponents. You
may see a lot of space in front of you. Then, press [Shoot].
Just before the meter gets red, release it. The goalie will stand
too far from his goal and the ball may go in. You have about a
50% chance that your player will score from way out.
Hint Free Kicks
When play as Real Madrid, always select Ronaldo to
take Free Kicks.
Getting good players
Go to the options menu then to "Player Swaps".
Swap all the good players desired onto the team you want to play
as, then save that as a squad. Call it whatever desired. Then
go to "New Season" and select "Current Squads"
and play your team. This is useful for a third division team.
This team now has all the good players.
Buying players
If you want to buy a player, bid for them about 1 or
2 million above the asking price. This ensures you of signing
that player. Players that are worth buying include:
Thierry Henry
Ronaldinho
David Beckham
Ronaldo (either)
Tim Howard
Roberto Carlos
Alexandre Del Piero
David Bellion
Ruud Van Nistelrooy
Hernan Crespo
In the first year, it is almost impossible (unless you bid over
5 million above the asking price) to buy Thiery Henry, David Becham,
Ronaldo, and Del Piero.
When in career mode, you can find good quality players in the
K-league and the other small leagues for less money and prestige
than equally good players in the big leagues such as the Premiership
and the Italian Serie A.

Glitch: Ghost movement
When you have won a game and a player sent off from
the team you are controlling, you will see the ball move and go
into a goal by itself.
Glitch: Missing replays
When a goal is scored, sometimes the replay will show
your own goal and the goalkeeper standing there, doing nothing,
while the camera moves around.
