Fitness level/Playing style
During a match, a Player Status Bar appears at the bottom of the screen displaying the highlighted player's current level of fitness and playing style.
FITNESS
The fitness level decreases the more a player sprints, slowing him down, but replenishes when he returns to normal pace.
POWER, WEIGHT, AND DIRECTION
•
When shooting or lobbing, a Power Meter appears at the bottom of the screen. Keep the kick or pass button pressed to increase power (elevation and distance) and release when the meter has filled sufficiently.
PASSING
•
Through balls, passes, lobs, and crosses are automatically directed towards a teammate or a teammate's run (in the direction of the left analog stick).
•
To play first-time balls (passing or shooting without first controlling the ball), press the pass or shoot button before the ball reaches your player.
DRIBBLING
•
The faster you travel, the trickier it is to trap an incoming pass or keep control of the ball. Try to balance your pace with the need for control.
•
Place your player between the ball and an opposing player to shield the ball and maintain possession.
SECONDARY DEFENDER
For the defender nearest the ball, tackling isn't always the best form of defense. When facing the man in possession, it's sometimes more effective to block his route to goal and then call in a secondary defender (L1 button) to make the challenge.
TACTICS AND MENTALITY
Press the D-button to make tactical adjustments to your team's attack during the game and the L1 button + D-button to change your defense.
ATTACKING TACTICS
DEFENSIVE TACTICS
Press the SELECT button to show the current Team Mentality, then press the SELECT button again to cycle through the mentalities (Neutral/All-Out Attack/Defensive).
