ok when u pass the ball to your player, just press the right analog stick bifore u recive the ball, then your player will knok the ball in the direction you want.

Knocking the ball away from him is first touch. Basically if you have your back towards goal and have some space between you and the goal you would flick the right analogue stick in the direction of the goal when receiving which would allow you to run onto the ball into space. If you didn't do this your player will stop to control the ball then move in the direction of the goal, wasting valuable time.

When it gets to professional mode and harder using first touch to your advantage can be very tricky. But the key is to knock the ball into space you can run onto it. One of the best examples is when there's a defender between you and the goals, if you knock the ball past him and run onto it you can be through on goal.

I've put together a list of controls at http://www.fifa04.com if you want to know some more moves you can do.

First touch will work differently depending on the situation (i think) and the players skill. When i gave a pass to Henry, he was a little outside the box), i presed shift and right arrow (towards goal) and he tipped the ball over his head, passing to himself over the defender. I was thrilled, then i lost the goal :crazyboy:

also, some new tricks

(a lot of you probably already know)

(going from left to right)

up/down- sideways drag

down+up(very quickly but not at same time)- crossover thingy right or left foot and barely drag the ball forward and to the side, and quickly cut the ball in the other direction

forward+backward(once again, not at same time, one right after the other) stepover and 180 turn.

i gotta go now, there are still a few more left though.
