that was awesome!!!

Got a couple questions.. just bought the game and getting hammered online..

1st: How to execute volleys, bicylekicksand cool moves after a cross? seems that he goes right way for headers but i would like to increase cool moves after crossing...

2nd: best formations?

3rd: how to keep possession and what's the ebst way to defend and make the adversary lose possession...

That is alot of questions!

1st - volleys are based on timing, positioning, and the skill level of the player involved.

2nd - Formations are based on the team personel. Find ways to play to your strengths and minimize your weaknesses.

3rd - to keep possesion try to not use the the speed burst as often, this will help you keep the ball closer to your feet and make your passes more accurate.

i would even go so far as to say NEVER use the speed burst in the attacking 3rd unless you're on the wing getting ready to cross.

I agree GutBomb -- I rarely use the speed burst in the attacking third
