Tips and tricks
- Learn the special moves last. The fundamentals — passing, positioning, basic shots — win far more games than trick shots.
- Timing beats power. Almost every sports game has a "sweet spot" input; find it in practice mode before you play for real.
- 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.
- Because this is a Football game, pass early and shoot low.
- Because this is a Skills game, practise the hardest input in isolation before you attempt a full run.
