Tackling and free kicks

I want to know how is it possible to take the ball off the feet of the CPU player with a maximum of two taps of the "D" button. It seems impossible to me. Every time i need to get the ball off the feet of an opposition striker i have to run and stick to him for more than 10 or 12 yards while tapping "D" continuously. This is really annoying as it enables the CPU striker to score goal which i can never score. I want to know why is it possible for the CPU defender to take the ball off the feet of my players just by getting near them...it`s as if the CPU players have magnets in thier shoes that attractes the ball from my players. :f***:

Another thing is how to score from a free kick?...forget about that...Can anyone explain the new free kicks system for me cause i really can`t get it.

I`m really getting annoyed. I play good games and manage to get many shots but i usually draw or lose. I need at least 8 shots on target per game to score a goal whereas the PC only needs one shot to score...it`s really unfair. The CPU players can dribble through me players as if they weren`t there. Does anyone else has this problem.

Anyway, i`ll try to keep on practicing, but i think that the CPU plays unfairly.

actually, you need to tap "D" once only for a tackle. its not like the previous fifa's wherein you can press tackle from almost every angle to collect the ball; you have to face the player you want to tackle. there is also an option to make your players auto-tackle...

for the freekicks, the closer you are to the goal post (maybe 22-30 yards out) you cannot put the ball in the lower corner of the net because there wouldnt be enough space to make the ball jump the wall and come down. what i generally do is place the target on the top corner. next, place the cursor on the kick-o-metre on the lower left or lower right, depending on how you want to bend the ball. i.e, to curl the ball from right to left like this ) , place the cursor on the (lower)right side of the ball. to curl from left to right like this (, place the cursor on the (lower) left.

to score plenty and defend well, you have to be able to intercept their passes a lot. block their angles.

ahhh

geez, guys read the TIPS and TRICKS on the main page of FIfa2003 it shows u everything. including defense. u have to HOLD DOWN D, and move around , it strafes the defender like inr eal life and therefore u can do some efficient defending without stabbing at the ball, just move backwards in front of the forward and u'll be ok, just hold down D, gl
