Hint: Easy win:
Choose a side to play on. Then, during gameplay, pressStart and choose "Select Sides". Move your controllerunder the opponent's side and resume gameplay. Then, score asmany goals as desired (while under the opponent's side), thenjust switch back to your side again. This way you will have abig point lead, depending on how many goals you scored. This trickalso works better when you switch back to your side near the endof the second half.
Hint: Easy goals:
If you are defending or playing the ball around themidfield, get the ball from your opponents. Give the ball to aplayer whose shooting precision and power is over 60 and you maytrain them for better results (for example, Beckham, Figo, Ronaldo,Van Nistelrooy, etc.). Run to the half of your opponents. Youmay see a lot of space in front of you. Then, press Shoot.Just before the meter gets red, release it. The goalie will standtoo far from his goal and the ball may go in. You have about a50% chance that your player will score from way out.
Hint: Getting good players:
Go to the options menu then to "Player Swaps".Swap all the good players desired onto the team you want to playas, then save that as a squad. Call it whatever desired. Thengo to "New Season" and select "Current Squads"and play your team. This is useful for a third division team.This team now has all the good players.
