Hints:
Dribbling
When running up the wing with the ball and an opposing player close to you: run as normal, stop for half a second, then carry on. The player should then try to tackle you where you were standing when you stopped.

Shooting
Shoot on the run using Square and hold Left or Right. The ball will veer off to the right or left when it bounces, totally foxing the goal keeper. This only works if you shoot from about 25 yards out. Too far out and the shot is not hard enough. Too close in and the keeper can read it. It works best if you get it right on your first shot of the game. This trick works for nationals, internationals and custom matches.

Get between the defenders and the keeper, as the keeper advances, shoot using Circle and hold Left or Right. Time it right and you will beat the keeper every time.

Easy Goal
This trick works best in indoor matches. Shoot from far, but pack the area with your forwards. Either they will then finish for you or the keeper will be distracted and the ball will sail in.

Scoring from opposing side's goal kick
If you stand in front of the keeper the ball should rebound off you straight into the net.
