Anyone got any tips (not cheats) which are helpful in F2K? For example, I noticed that when my keeper was throwing the ball out - as opposed to kicking it out - into play, it was almost always being intercepted. Kicking it out was frequently resulting it the ball being headed right back. But if I let the players clear out of the penalty area and then bring it out dribbling, the AI didn't react right away and I can clear it pretty effectively.

ok. firstly throwing the ball out is good if you want to quickly restart the game quickly, but if you just catch the ball and then immediately hurl it out, you will waste time getting the ball back because the GK targets the closest forward.

So, if you wanna keep possession while still throwing either puase and wait for the forward to run to a place closer to the GK or you can simply turn him to one side and throw the ball out to one of your wingers or defenders. This small turn will help to be faster restart the play.
