**********************
* 1.1   THE STEPOVER *
**********************

The stepover can be done while standing still or running simply move your foot 
in then around the ball quickly with both feet.
The stepover is one of the most basic tricks but if used effectively with speed 
it can stop defenders in their tracks. I like to use this in matches as it 
looks good and is useful to string together harder moves.


foward, foward



*************************
* 1.2  ROLLING SIDESTEP *
*************************

The rolling sidestep is done while running, the player moves to one side of the 
ball and with his foot rolls the ball towards him.
The rolling sidestep is another basic trick. I wouldn't recommend using it more  
than once or twice a match as its easily blocked.



foward, down/foward, down



*****************
* 1.3  SIDESTEP *
*****************


This version of the sidestep is done by by tapping the ball to one side and 
then quickly using the other foot kicked the opposite way so you can run onto 
it. I regularly use this move in matches because i like the way it looks but 
you may decide not to use it.



up, down



*******************************
* 1.4  STEPOVER THEN SIDESTEP *
*******************************



This incorporates the stepover into the sidestep which i think it makes a 
pretty good trick. Since this move is easy i like to use it but i wouldnt use 
it on the higher difficulty level.

 

up, up, down




****************
* 1.5  KICK UP * 
****************



The kick up is done while running and the player chips the ball a few feet 
infront of him and runs onto it. I find this a very helpful when i want to take
a shot from about 25 yards from goal as it helps add power to your shot. I 
think there's a way you can use this to flick it over an opponents head but im
not sure.

 

fowards, back , fowards

***************
* 2.1  RABONA *
***************

For those of you who are not familiar with the term Rabona it is a shot or 
cross performed by moving the the kicking leg behind the standing leg and 
hitting the ball.This move is useful when a right footed player is running 
down the left hand-side and cant cross with his left foot.




on the left analogue stick pull it to the left/right and cross it in at the 
same time



***********************
* 2.2  OVERHEAD FLICK *
***********************

The overhead flick quite obviously is where you kick the ball over your head. 
Useful when there is a defender marking you tightly from behind. Personally 
this is one of my favourite moves to use.




tap the left stick in the oppiste way that your player is facing




*********************************
* 2.3  FEINT LEFT THEN SIDESTEP *
*********************************

This move tricks the opposing player by first putting his forefoot to one side 
of the ball as if he was going to run that way but with his other foot kicks 
it and runs that way. I love this move, it combines misdirection with 
simplicity.




up, fowards

*****************
* 3.1  360 SPIN *
*****************


The 360 spin isn't hard to do but it took me a while to figure out the button 
combination. Quite simply the player puts one foot on the ball spins while having 
his foot on the ball and then kicks it with the back off his other foot.  


press back and then in a semi-circle swivel the stick forwards along the bottom


***************
* 3.2 RAINBOW *
***************


The rainbow is the move where a player runs along, holds the ball between his
feet and uses one foot to roll the ball up the back of the other leg and uses 
that leg to  flick the ball over his head and infront of him.



press up and swivel in a semi-circle to the left and end at the bottom

******************
* 4.1  PULL BACK *
******************

The pull back can be done when running but I dont think you can do it in this
game. The pull back is done by putting your foot on the ball and rolling it 
towards you. I dont normally stand still in matches but thats just the way i
play you may be different.




back, back




***************************
* 4.2  FEINT TO THE LEFT  *
***************************

The player will pretend to run to the left. I dont normally stand still in 
matches but thats just the way i play you may be different.




up, up





*************************
* 4.3  REVERSE STEPOVER *
*************************

The opposite of the stepover the player will move his feet around the outside
of the ball towards himself. I dont normally stand still in matches but thats 
just the way i play you may be different.





up/foward, up/foward




***********************
* 4.4  TRICK STEPOVER *
***********************

The trick stepover is the only standing move i use in matches, just because it 
works and i use it in real life. The player will do an reverse stepover but 
only with one foot and then with that foot kick the ball the other way.





up, down




***************************
* 4.5  PULL BACK AND KICK * 
***************************

The pull back and kick is the other standing move i like to use. The player will
pull the ball behind his standing foot and then kick it sideways down the pitch.

note: im not sure if this is a signature move for cristiano ronaldo because he's 
      the only player iv been able to do it with. 





hold up and swivel in a semi cicle to the left and end on the bottom






*******************************************************************************

Signature tricks are moves that good players normally invent or are really 
good at and use frequently.

inside of the ball moving it to the left/right and in the same motion bring it

Q  I pressed the buttons in the order you said but it still doesnt work?

A  Its most likely that either the player you're using isnt good enough or 
   your not pressing the combination fast enough.






Q  I dont understand what down/back means?

A  down/back a diagonal, in this case its diagonal down and back.






Q  I still cant do the trick even though i have the right player?

A  All the tricks listed are if the player is facing to the the right, you 
   may be facing the wrong way.





Q  I dont know which way to press the analogue stick?  

A  Ok send me an email ([email protected]) with the name of the trick you are 
   trying to do and i will send more detailed instructions.
