Tips and tricks

Timing beats power. Almost every sports game has a "sweet spot" input; find it in practice mode before you play for real.
Play a full season or tournament rather than single matches; the progression makes each match matter more.
Watch the opponent, not your player. Their movement tells you where the ball or the gap is going to be.
Use the whole field, court or track. Players who hug one side become predictable.
