Hints

Manager mode: Spending experience points

In Manager mode, access the experience points menu. Near the top of the screen is an option you can toggle if you wish to have the experience points spent automatically. Turn the autospend off. Save up until you have about 40,000 experience points, or roughly a third of a season. Then, go back into the menu where you spend your points. You can spend a lot more points in one go. This makes it easier to decide what aspects of a player to upgrade. When you have 40,000 experience points, turn on the auto spend. The CPU spends the points better if there are more to spend.

Manager mode: Keeping players longer

Before you start Manager mode with a team, edit the players ages so that they play longer for your team. For example, with Liverpool Steven Gerrard (age 28) might play for five years. However Steven Gerrard (age 14) will play for at least twenty more years.

More reasonable individual and team goals in "Be a Pro" season

Use the following trick if you find an objective that is difficult to reach. Before the upcoming match, save the game. When you see the tasks for the next match that you cannot pass, quit the mode, reload it, and the objectives will change to one you want. For example, if you are striker having trouble dealing with being in an offside position (and that is not even being called by the referee) less than eight times, just quit the mode and reload it again. Then, it may change to "Commit less than 4 fouls" or "Score at least one goal". However your team objectives such as "Concede less than 5 corners" or "Stay scoreless by the 80th minute" will also change.

Recommended formation

Go to "Create Formation" and select 4-3-3 as your base. Make the four defenders a wide diamond, with the sweeper at the bottom of the diamond in the middle of the 18 box, two defenders at the corners of the box, and the last defender just above the semi circle slightly. Note: The top defender should become a midfielder if you have him placed correctly. This formation works better than the 4-3-3 alone as well as any other formation.

Recommended players

Ronahldino

Eto'o
