TRAP BALL MOVES TRAINING VIDEO - BY XPRONIC
Use this video to help you understand what some of these trapping tricks are supposed to look like. Pausing the video to read the text as the move is performed is a great way of learning the many complex moves showcased in this thread!

Trap Ball and Tap Ahead:

• Controls: Hold (R1) and any Dpad direction as your receives the ball.
  
• Description: The player will trap the ball by knocking it forward slightly, giving a bit of space between him and the ball.
  
• Tips: This trick is useful for getting away from close marking, or creating a little bit of run-up space for a shot. It can also be used to give your player better acceleration away from the position he trapped the ball in, since he doesn’t have to dribble as such to get to the ball.
  
• Notes: If you hold the Dpad in the same direction as the ball is travelling, then the player will instead perform a ‘Turn and Run Onto Incoming Pass’ move.

Kill Ball and Turn:

• Controls: (R2) + any Dpad direction as your player receives the ball.
  
• Description: The player will immediately stop the ball movement, and turn to face in the specified direction.
  
• Tips: Very, very useful in crowded situations (such as in the opponents box) when the slightest bit of poor control could cause you to lose possession. Can also be used to ready your player for a shot.
  
• Notes: None

Kill Ball and Face Goal:

• Controls: Hold (R2) as your player receives the ball.
  
• Description: The player will bring the ball under his complete control as quickly as possible, and then turn on the spot to face the opponents goal.
  
• Tips: Similar to the ‘Kill Ball and Turn’ trick, except less useful in the opponents box. An excellent move to use in build up play though, or when you are in control of the game (it will encourage opposition players to come at your player to try and get the ball, thus tiring them out).
  
• Notes: Remember to release the Dpad when you perform it.

Run Into Ball:

• Controls: Hold (R1) and the Dpad in the direction the ball is coming from.
  
• Description: Your player will run to meet the ball, rather than wait for the ball to reach him.
  
• Tips: One of the rudimentary aspects of receiving balls on Pro Evo – master immediately. Prevents opposition defenders from beating your player to the ball.
  
• Notes: This move often allows you to perform other, more complex manoeuvres (such as the ‘Super Cancel Trap’) with greater ease, due to the player already moving when you attempt the trick.

Turn and Run Onto Incoming Pass:

• Controls: (R1) + Dpad in direction of ball movement.
  
• Description: The player will turn and chase the ball before taking a touch, rather than immediately trapping it.
  
• Tips: An absolute must if you intend on counter-attacking at high speed. This move allows the pace of an attack to keep going. Also extremely useful for evading defenders if you see them approaching behind your player as he going to trap the ball.
  
• Notes: Use with care when near the touchline – sometimes your player can accidentally run the ball out of play.

Shield Ball (Trap):

• Controls: Leave Dpad in a neutral position.
  
• Description: If a marker is standing directly behind your player when he receives the ball, your player will attempt to fend him off by placing his body between the opponent and the ball.
  
• Tips: Only really useful if you have a player who is immensely strong, preferably with the ‘Post Player’ special ability. It is useful for holding up play in this circumstance, but even then, you can only use it for a few seconds at most.
  
• Notes: Keep your fingers near the Dpad ready to move – your player can’t fend off the opponent for very long!

Jump/Leave Ball:

• Controls: Release Dpad and press (R1) before the ball reaches the player.
  
• Description: Your player will let the ball run through his legs at the last moment, rather than trapping it.
  
• Tips: Effective for unlocking defences by playing different team mates into the game. Can also be used as an alternative to the ‘Turn and Run Onto Incoming Pass’. Once the ball has run though his legs, use the same player to turn and collect the ball himself. This technique is extremely effective for wrong-footing defenders.
  
• Notes: None

Extra High Chest/Tap-Up:

• Controls: Double Tap (R1) as your player receives ball at chest height.
  
• Description: Your player will chest the ball high up into the air rather than bringing it fully under his control.
  
• Tips: The main use of this trick is for attempting overhead kicks or volleys. Can very occasionally be used to beat opponents if your player is moving as he does it, though this is very difficult.
  
• Notes: If the ball approaches your player at a height lower than his chest, using these controls will make him knock the ball up rather than control it – ideal for attempting volleys! You can also hold (R1) when the ball is at chest height rather than double tapping it, if you prefer.

‘Secret’ Ball Control:

• Controls: (R1) + (R2) + Dpad as a stationary player receives the ball.
  
• Description: As your player traps the ball, he will swivel in the specified direction (much like the ‘Kill Ball and Turn’ move), but crucially, he will leave a small gap between himself and the ball.
  
• Tips: The main use for this move is to set your player up for shots on goal, but it can also be combined with moves like stopovers and immediate sprinting at angles to beat defenders.
  
• Notes: None

Chip-Trap Ball:

• Controls: When stationary, press (X) + (Square) at the same time.
  
• Description: The player will flick the ball up with his foot instead of controlling it.
  
• Tips: This move is incredibly difficult to perform consistently, but when done correctly, it serves the same purpose as the ‘Extra High Chest/Tap-Up’ trick, but for when the ball is moving along the ground. As such, it can be used to do volleys – or if you’re extremely lucky and skilled, an overhead flick.
  
• Notes: The speed of the pass and the angle of your player can have drastic effects on how high the ball bounces.

“La Ginola”/Super Cancel Trap:

• Controls: Hold (R1) + (R2) and any direction on the Dpad while your player is receiving a ball – preferably one he is running onto.
  
• Description: Instead of trapping the ball normally, the use of super cancel means that the player can come onto the ball from any angle he pleases.
  
• Tips: Its main use is against human opponents, but it can still be effective against the AI. If done well, it can completely wrong-foot markers, and potentially open up entire defences.
  
• Notes: One to practice heavily in training – it take a while to become accustomed to how players move when controlled with Super Cancel.

Overhead Flick:

• Controls: When the player is facing a ball that is played in at knee to chest height, press the Dpad at 135-degree diagonal to the left or right of the direction the player is facing.
  
• Description: The player will flick the ball over his head an turn.
  
• Tips: This move is very context sensitive, and incredibly hard to perform even then. It looks very cool, but is perhaps not particularly useful.
  
• Notes: The move is much harder on PES6 than it was on PES5.

Stationary Moves:

STATIONARY MOVES TRAINING VIDEO - BY XPRONIC
Use this video to help you understand what some of these stationary tricks are supposed to look like. Pausing the video to read the text as the move is performed is a great way of learning the many complex moves showcased in this thread!

Backheel Turn:

• Controls: (R1) + Dpad at opposite direction to where the player is facing.
  
• Description: The player will use his heel to hook the ball backwards and change the direction he is facing by 180-degrees.
  
• Tips: One of the easiest moves in the game, but its effectiveness should be underestimated. It is much more effective when dribbling, however (see dribbling section).
  
• Notes: Not to be confused with the standard turn – the holding of (R1) knocks the ball further, giving a crucial half yard between your player and the ball.
  

Cruyff Turn:

• Controls: Dpad at a 135, 180 or 225 degree angle to the current direction the player is facing.
  
• Description: The player will use his heel to change direction with a very distinct animation.
  
• Tips: The Cruyff can be thought of as being somewhere between the ‘Stop and Play’ and ‘Backheel Turn’ moves, and as such is very effective.
  
• Notes: A hard-coded move that can only be performed by certain players. These include: Henry, Pires, C. Ronaldo, Giggs, Boa Morte, Gerrard, Joe Cole, Rivelino and Reyes. The move can also be performed at ‘Slow Dribble 1’ or ‘Slow Dribble 2’ speeds – not just when stationary.
  

Drag Back:

• Controls: (R2) + Dpad at opposite direction to which the player is facing.
  
• Description: The player will use his foot to roll the ball backwards a yard or so.
  
• Tips: An incredibly useful way of avoiding incoming sliding tackles, or opening up a bit of space to do another move from.
  
• Notes: You can do as many ‘Drag Backs’ as you choose, and after you have done the first one, you can also do one at a 45-degree angle by holding the Dpad in the appropriate direction.
  

V-Feint:

• Controls: Perform a ’Drag Back’ and then press the Dpad at a 45-degree angle that corresponds with your players favoured foot in the direction he is facing. For example, a right footed player moving left to right on the pitch would need to press diagonally down/right for the second part of the trick.
  
• Description: The player will perform a standard ‘Drag Back’ and then accelerate away at pace to beat his opponent.
  
• Tips: A very effective (and not to mention stylish) way of beating a defender who is closing in on your player while he is in a stationary position.
  
• Notes: The 45-degree Dpad press must be immediate after the ‘Drag Back’ animation sequence starts for this move to work.
  

Stationary Feint:

• Controls: When the player is stationary, press the Dpad x2 in a direction that is 90-degrees from where the player is facing. Release all other buttons.
  
• Description: The player will stamp his foot as if to move, but will instead stay still.
  
• Tips: Only really effective against human opposition. Can be used to kill time between moves and to lure opponents in for the tackle.
  
• Notes: The direction you press corresponds to which foot the player will stomp. For example, a player facing left to right would stomp his left foot if you pressed up on the Dpad and his right foot if you pressed down on it.
  

Quick Feint:

• Controls: Press either (L1) x2 or (R2) x2 when the player is stationary.
  
• Description: The player will perform a quicker stomping of the foot than in the ‘Stationary Feint’ trick.
  
• Tips: Again, only really effective in multiplayer games. Also slightly easier than the ‘Stationary Feint’, since its less likely you’ll accidentally make your player move.
  
• Notes: This move can be combined with a sudden run at 45-degrees if you press the Dpad at the appropriate direction as soon as the feint animation begins. Quite effective for passing markers.
  

Stop and Play:

• Controls: From a stationary position, hold (R1) + Dpad at a 45, 90 or 135 degree angle that is opposite for the player’s current direction. For example, a player facing upwards on the pitch would need to press either left or right to do a 90-degree feint.
  
• Description: The player will knock the ball forwards at a different direction to which he is facing with a sudden burst of acceleration.
  
• Tips: One of the most effective moves in the game. If you have a fast player, it can be used to easily pass players. Can also be useful when used in the box to create space for a shot.
  
• Notes: Tapping the opposite direction to which you intend to move using the trick without having (R1) held makes the player do a feint, which can then immediately be followed by the trick itself. Very useful against human opposition. Note, that this trick isn’t to be confused with the ‘Matthews Feint’ – the holding of (R1) for the second part of the trick is therefore crucial.
  

Matthews Feint:

• Controls: From a stationary position, press the Dpad at a 90-degree angle to your players current direction, and then immediately press the Dpad at the opposite 90-degree angle. For example, a player facing up the pitch intending to move right, would need to press left and then right on the Dpad.
  
• Description: The player will drop his shoulder as if to move one direction, and then burst in the opposite direction.
  
• Tips: A very cool looking trick, but only useful against human opposition. And even then, it can only be used to fool an opponent once, maybe twice per game due to its very distinct animation.
  
• Notes: None

Dribbling Moves:

DRIBBLING MOVES TRAINING VIDEO - BY XPRONIC
Use this video to help you understand what some of these dribbling tricks are supposed to look like. Pausing the video to read the text as the move is performed is a great way of learning the many complex moves showcased in this thread!

Sidestep:

• Controls: (R2) + Dpad at a right angle to the direction you player is currently moving.
  
• Description: The player will move in a direction that is at a right angle to his direction of movement, while continuing to face his original direction.
  
• Tips: This move is a bit less effective than it was in PES5, but is never-the-less an excellent way of getting past defenders. A well timed sidestep followed by a burst of pace can leave a defender for dead. If you release both (R2) and the Dpad, your player will continue to sidestep until told otherwise.
  
• Notes: If you prefer to use the Analog stick rather than the Dpad, this move is much harder to perform.
  

Slow Dribble 1:

• Controls: Hold the Dpad and (R2) while moving in the specified direction.
  
• Description: The player will slow down to a slower than normal dribbling pace before reducing his speed to that of walking.
  
• Tips: The low dribbling pace makes your player very hard to shake off the ball, so it is a good technique to use when you are trying to hold up play.
  
• Notes: Once the player reaches very low paces, he can perform several of the Stationary Moves, such as the ‘V-Feint’, ‘Drag Back’, or ‘Matthews Feint’.
  

Slow Dribble 2:

• Controls: Release the Dpad while moving in a direction.
  
• Description: The player will reduce his pace before coming to a complete standstill roughly two seconds later.
  
• Tips: A very useful method for altering your dribbling pace to fool defenders. A release of the Dpad can be followed by a burst of pace using the sprint button to get past a marker.
  
• Notes: Tapping the Dpad while your player is slowing down, just before his foot touches the ball, will ‘extend’ this move so to speak, keeping his pace at the slow jog part of the move.
  

Semi-Slow Dribble:

• Controls: Hold (R1) + (R2) + Dpad.
  
• Description: The player will move forward at a pace somewhere between the ‘Slow Dribble 1’ pace and a normal speed of dribbling. He will also occasionally burst forward with greater pace.
  
• Tips: An effective move for confusing opponents prior to performing a different trick, or a sudden turn of pace. The move can be combined very nicely with the ‘Both Feet Feint’, ‘Drop Shoulder’, or ‘Inside Outside’ moves.
  
• Notes: The move is usually easier to perform from a stationary position if you tap (R2) slightly before you press (R1).
  

Sprint: Knock Ball Ahead:

• Controls: While sprinting (using (R1)), press Dpad x2 in the direction of movement. Alternatively, rapidly tap (R1) while sprinting.
  
• Description: Your player will knock the ball further ahead than in a standard sprint, allowing him to move at greater speed.
  
• Tips: An absolutely vital move for escaping defenders once you have made it past them – learn immediately. Be careful where you employ it though, since the extra distance your player knocks the ball ahead can make him much easier to tackle.
  
• Notes: The extra time between touches means that using this move often makes it easier to perform difficult tricks that require button presses before your player touches the ball.
  

Sprint: Knock Ball Further Ahead While Turning:

• Controls: Hold (R1) + (R2) + Dpad at a 45-degree angle to your current direction of movement.
  
• Description: Your player will knock the ball ahead a great distance while turning at a slight angle to his current direction of movement.
  
• Tips: Extremely effective when you have a lot of space to run into, as it allows your player to move at almost his full sprinting pace. Bear in mind the fact that your player also turns while doing this, so defenders may be able to track back and block of his path to goal is you were to turn away from goal, for example.
  
• Notes: The move also makes shots more powerful and accurate if you do it and then shoot as your player runs onto the ball.
  

Immediate Angled Sprint:

• Controls: As your player is dribbling at the standard pace, hold (R1) and immediately press (R2) + Dpad at a 45-degree angle to your current direction of movement.
  
• Description: The player will knock the ball the same distance ahead as in the ‘Sprint: Knock Ball Further Ahead While Turning’ move, but from the standard dribbling pace; allowing him to leave defenders trailing in his wake.
  
• Tips: A difficult trick to perform and to know when to execute – definitely one to practice in training. Effective for bursting past a defender to get through on goal is he is backing away from you and using the sprint button will allow him to tackle easily.
  
• Notes: The press of (R2) + Dpad must be almost simultaneous to that of the (R1) press.
  

Quaresma Cutback:

• Controls: As your player knocked the ball ahead using either the knock ball further ahead while sprinting or angled sprint moves, hold (R2). Note that this move can only be performed by players capable of the Rabona move, and in certain areas of the pitch.
• Description: The player will perform a move which at first may look like a glitch – he will sort of knock the ball back on himself using his heel, which allows you to turn and shoot using the player’s stronger foot. A great way to see this move in action in real life is in Ricardo Quaresma’s goal for Portugal against Belgium in the March 2007 European Championship qualifiers.
  
• Tips: The trick can only be performed by players capable of the Rabona, and must be done on the opposite side of the pitch to their stronger foot (for example, Quaresma does it on the left, but Messi or Rivaldo or Rivelino do it on the right flank). The areas of the pitch it can be done in are right around the corner of the box. The closer you get to this corner, the better the trick will be.
• Notes: The trick will occasionally go wrong and the player will perform a strange slicing move to take the ball forwards slightly, which can also be very effective. Also, the player’s dribble style (1, 2, 3 or 4) can also have some bearing on how the trick looks.
  

Quick Stop:

• Controls: Release the Dpad and press (R1).
  
• Description: Your player will immediately come to a halt and control the ball.
  
• Tips: One of the most effective dribbling moves in the game. Stopping the ball can not only be used to evade tackles, but open up the wide range of stationary tricks your player can perform. Learn immediately.
  
• Notes: None
  

Quick Stop and Turn to Face Opponent’s Goal:

• Controls: Release Dpad and press (R2).
  
• Description: Your player will bring the ball under control as in the ‘Quick Stop’ move, but will also turn his body to face the opposition goal.
  
• Tips: A very useful move for altering the way a player is facing – excellent when used in conjunction with the standard ‘Quick Stop’ move. A very effective place to use it is in the box, allowing you to torment the opposition defenders with quick changes of direction and pace.
  
• Notes: None
  

Jump Tackle:

• Controls: Press (R2) as an opponent slides in for a tackle.
  
• Description: Your player will jump over the opponent as he comes in with a sliding tackle.
  
• Tips: Very context sensitive and therefore difficult to perform. Also, it has the disadvantage of not winning you freekicks if the defender takes the ball but not your player. Use only when you have managed to knock the ball past the defender.
  
• Notes: Can be used to avoid injury if you have a particularly fragile player.
  

Quick Stepover:

• Controls: (R2) x2 while moving, or Right Stick x2 in opposite direction to movement.
  
• Description: The player will perform a quick single stepover.
  
• Tips: On its own, this trick is purely for visual purposes, but it can be melded into other moves or used to disguise them.
  
• Notes: To make it more effective, use the ‘Stepover Dash’ move.
  

Slow Stepover:

• Controls: (L1) x2 or Right Stick x2 in direction of movement.
  
• Description: The player will perform a slow triple stepover.
  
• Tips: Like the ‘Quick Stepover’ move, this trick is purely visual except when combined with other moves.
  
• Notes: Only use this in place of the ‘Quick Stepover’ when you have lots of time and space.
  

Stepover Dash:

• Controls: Either the ‘Quick Stepover’ or ‘Slow Stepover’ move followed by (R1) + Dpad in your preferred direction of dash.
  
• Description: The player will knock the ball out of his feet while doing the stepover animation, allowing him to run onto it.
  
• Tips: A very effective (and stylish) way of beating markers. Once you have perfected this move, it becomes very easy to use as well. Arguably its best place of application is on the wing, using the move to beat full-backs.
  
• Notes: None
  

Quick Multi Stepover:

• Controls: Release Dpad, wait a little for the players pace to reduce to a trot, and repeatedly press (L1).
  
• Description: As he is moving at a very low speed, the player will perform very fast stopovers repeatedly.
  
• Tips: The best aspect of this trick is that it maintains the players pace at a very low speed, allowing him to perform stationary moves such as the ‘Drag Back’ and the ‘Matthews Feint’ while maintaining forward motion.
  
• Notes: Players that can also perform the ‘Elastico’ are very difficult to perform this trick with, since the (L1) presses may cause them to start the ‘Elastico’ animation.
  

Elastico/Flip-Flap/Akka:

• Controls: (L1) x3 or (R2) x3.
  
• Description: The player will move his feet in a fluid motion to fool the defenders with a variation of a stepover, and end with running onto the ball at a 45-degree angle.
  
• Tips: A very unpredictable move that can only be performed by a small number of players (it is a hard-coded trick). It can be used straight off with the triple button tap, or the third tap can be used mid stepover sequence to ‘extend’ the move as it were, and use the elastico itself to take the ball past defenders. Note, that the ball will quite often bounce slightly when the move is performed, allowing you player to unleash volleys after he has performed it.
  
• Notes: The move was invented by Rivelino of Classic Brazil, but several other players can perform this trick. Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, C. Ronaldo, Djibril Cisse, Takahara, Milner, Ibrahimovic and Wilhelmsson, Luque, Park Chu Young and Rosales are the only players capable of pulling this move off.
  

Marseille Roulette:

• Controls: Rotate Right Stick by 180-degrees either anti-clockwise or clockwise.
  
• Description: The player will perform a spin while keeping the ball under his control.
  
• Tips: The player will end the move 45-degrees short of the full 360 rotation, so the direction you rotate the stick has an effect over his final position. Bearing this in mind, this can be a very effective move to get past defenders.
  
• Notes: Players with low Technique and/or Dribble Accuracy stat ratings are likely to mess this move up and lose possession, so only do it with talented players.
  

90-Degree Turn:

• Controls: Dpad at a 90-degree angle to current direction of movement.
  
• Description: The player will perform a sudden 90-degree change in direction to fool defenders.
  
• Tips: A nice move for avoiding incoming tackles and performing sudden movements in the box. Ensure that you know the player you are using before attempting it though, since 90+ Dribble Accuracy is required.
  
• Notes: To perform the move, the player needs 90+ Dribble Accuracy.
  

Sprint: Diagonal Dash:

• Controls: Hold (R1), then press (L1) x2 + Dpad at a 45-degree angle to the current direction of movement.
  
• Description: The player will suddenly change direction without losing any speed.
  
• Tips: An immensely useful move once perfected. You can wrong-foot entire defences using it. Also effective in 1-on-1 situations with the goalkeeper.
  
• Notes: The button presses must be between touches of the ball, so players who have very high Dribble Accuracy are harder to perform this with.
  

Kick Feint 1:

• Controls: ([]) or (O) then (X) when the gauge appears.
  
• Description: The player will move as if to kick the ball, and then instead nudge it forwards slightly at a 45-degree angle to wrong-foot defenders.
  
• Tips: A brilliant move in 1-on-1 situations, easily the most effective way to beat goalkeepers. It can also be employed very effectively to skip past defenders.
  
• Notes: If you don’t specify the direction of ‘nudge’ using the Dpad, the player will push the ball forwards in the direction of his strongest foot.
  

Kick Feint 2:

• Controls: Right Stick x2 at a right angle to current direction of movement.
  
• Description: Exactly the same as ‘Kick Feint 1’.
  
• Tips: Exactly the same as ‘Kick Feint 1’ except that it is easier to predict the direction a player will ‘nudge’ the ball. For example, when moving left to right, pushing up twice on the stick will cause the player to nudge the ball diagonally up right, and if you move the stick down, the player will nudge the ball diagonally down right.
  
• Notes: Using this method, no gauge appears. Also, it cannot be done as a player receives the ball.
  

Kick Cancel:

• Controls: Hold (R1) + (R2) as the player goes to make a shot.
  
• Description: Like a kick feint, except the player doesn’t nudge the ball.
  
• Tips: This is designed to allow you to cancel your shots or passes, rather than specifically feint to stop them.
  
• Notes: The move can actually be used to fool goalkeepers in 1-on-1 situations.
  

Chip Ball Up:

• Controls: Right Stick Down then Right Stick Up.
  
• Description: The player will chip the ball up a small way, as well as forwards.
  
• Tips: The move can be used to get past goalkeepers in 1-on-1 situations, or to avoid sliding tackles. It can also be used to set up volleys.
  
• Notes: The height of the chip varies according to your player’s speed and skill. A slower moving player with high Dribbling stats can chip the ball highest.
  

Drop Shoulder/Both Feet Feint:

• Controls: When dribbling from left to right, Dpad in direction of movement followed by up/right then in direction of movement once more, or alternatively, in direction of movement followed by down/right and then in direction of movement again.
  
• Description: The player will shift his body to perform a drop shoulder move to wrong-foot an opponent, or will shimmy the ball between his feet for a both feet feint.
  
• Tips: Both moves are very effective, and can be combined nicely with stopovers or even ‘Kick Cancel’ manoeuvres to get past defenders. Well worth learning.
  
• Notes: If a player has a Dribble Accuracy of 69 or below, he cannot do either trick. If the stat is between 70 and 84, he will perform the drop shoulder move. Any player with Dribble Accuracy above 85 will do the Both Feet Feint trick.
  

Inside Outside:

• Controls: Same as the ‘Drop Shoulder/Both Feet Feint’ moves, but can only be done on the side of the players favoured foot. For example, a left footed player moving left to right would only perform the move if right, then diagonal up/right and then right again was pressed.
  
• Description: Instead of doing a drop shoulder or both feet feint (which are determined by Dribble Accuracy), the player will instead perform a strange shimmying motion.
  
• Tips: A very cool move, and can be used in the exact same way as the ‘Drop Shoulder/Both Feet Feint’ trick.
  
• Notes: This is a Hard-Coded move that can only be performed by a tiny handful of players. These include: Recoba, Totti, Rivelino, Cameronesi and Messi.

Shooting Moves:

SHOOTING MOVES TRAINING VIDEO - BY XPRONIC
Use this to help you understand what the moves are supposed to look like and how they are performed.

Secret Chip Shot:

• Controls: When facing 45-degrees from your opponent’s goal, hold (L1) and press ([]) to full power when outside the box.
  
• Description: The player will perform a highly accurate chip shot over the keeper’s head.
  
• Tips: Make sure when you perform this trick, that you turn 45-degrees that corresponds to the side of the goal you are on. For example, if you are running left to right, towards the bottom of the screen (right of the goal), turn 45-degrees downwards and perform the shot for it to work (remembering to use the Dpad to specify the direction of the shot). To have any hope of scoring this, the goalie has to be off his line slightly. Watch your radar, and unleash this shot as he starts to come forwards – very, very effective in multiplayer games.
  
• Notes: If the player has high technique, he is much, much more likely to score shots like this.
  

Secret Strong Shot:

• Controls: ([]) + Dpad to specify direction while your player is stationary.
  
• Description: The player will perform an extremely powerful, accurate shot when in a stationary position.
  
• Tips: If you can see no defender is going to intercept your pass to the player, and you’re planning on taking a shot, this technique can be used very effectively. The strength of the shot will also vary according to the angle the pass comes in at. The most powerful shots come from passes played from in front of the player.
  
• Notes: Players with a very high Swerve stat can get extreme amounts of curl on shots like this, often leading to very nice goals.
  

Super Curled Chip Shot/The Del Piero:

• Controls: Hold (L1) and ([]) when running parallel with the opponents goal.
  
• Description: The player will unleash a chipped shot with immense swerve to take the ball around the keeper.
  
• Tips: Perform the shot on the player’s favoured foot before he has passed halfway up or down the pitch. For example, if Del Piero were running down the pitch, you would need to perform the move before he gets past halfway down the pitch. Note, that the shot is unlikely to go in unless the keeper is off his line.
  
• Notes: This is a Hard-Coded trick that only some players can perform. In general, they will only be able to do it with their favoured foot. These players include Beckham, Henry, Rooney, Pires, Cassano, De Rossi (only on left foot), Rivelino and ofcourse, Del Piero (he is the only player who can do the move with both feet).
  

Rabona:

• Controls: When running parallel with the opponents goal, press ([]) when you have past halfway down the pitch.
  
• Description: The player will wrap his strong foot around the back of his leg to take a shot in preference to using his weaker foot.
  
• Tips: If a left footed player is shooting left to right, he would need to run down the pitch and get just past halfway down before he did the shot.
  
• Notes: A player must fulfil certain criteria to be able to perform this move: He must have a Technique of 85+ and a Weak Foot Frequency of 3 or less. This means only Messi, Recoba, Rivelino and Rivaldo are able to perform the move.
  

Volleys:

• Controls: As the ball drops down to around chest height, press ([]).
  
• Description: The player will unleash a powerful first (or second) time volleyed shot, rather than a standard shot or a header.
  
• Tips: If you see an opportunity to take a ball on the volley, do it, not least because they are likely to find the back of the net if timed correctly, but they are usually very spectacular goals.
  
• Notes: If a half-volley (the ball bounces first) is timed correctly, the ball will be hit with extreme amounts of topspin, allowing it to dip down suddenly. This can lead to some incredibly spectacular goals. There is a section in the game under situation training to practice this move.
  

Overhead Kicks:

• Controls: Context sensitive, press ([]) when the ball is in the correct position according to your player’s body and the opposition goal.
  
• Description: The player will kick the ball over his head either by means of a collapsing kick, or a spectacular scissor kick in order to get the ball to the goal.
  
• Tips: The move is much easier to perform if you loft the ball forwards, and then use the ‘Extra High Chest’ technique, as described in the Trapping Moves section.
  
• Notes: Some players find it easier to double tap ([]) when trying to perform the move.
  

The ‘Mendieta’/‘Beckham to Scholes’:

• Controls: Aim a corner at one of the players standing outside the box, and when he receives it, volley it in using ([]).
  
• Description: The player will smash a volley at the goal straight from a corner, leading to spectacular goals.
  
• Tips: You will need to aim the corner at the player you intend to take the shot, but as a general rule, aiming as far away from the opponent’s goal as possible and holding down (O) for as long as possible (and also pressing up on the Dpad) is a good technique of getting it to the players outside the box. However, if the opposition have any players outside the box, it is not worth performing the move since it will simply be intercepted.
  
• Notes: You may need to adjust the attack/defence settings of your team in order to get three players outside the box. To do this, go to formation settings and ensure that attack/defence (under team settings) is set to ‘Manual’. Once back in the game, hold (L2) and press either (R1) or (R2) to increase or reduce the attack/defence. Yellow (three bars) will make three players stand outside the box. You may also need to go on ‘Select Kicker’ under the start menu to make the changes take place.
  

Backheeled Shot:

• Controls: When the player has his back to goal, and as the keeper is coming out, press ([]).
  
• Description: The player will use his heel rather than tuning and shooting to get the ball in the back of the net.
  
• Tips: This trick is very context sensitive, so don’t despair if you can’t do it! Left-footed players appear to have a greater success rate if they are on the left side of the goal (ie, the top side as you look at the pitch from the camera angle when you are shooting left to right) and vice versa for right-footed players. Generally, around the penalty spot is a good starting point for performing the trick, but anywhere in and around the penalty area allows the move to be performed.
  
• Notes: Only players with high Technique and Shot Tech can perform this move.

Secret Slice Lob: By Maddeth

• Controls: (L1) + ([]) when your player has just done a 'clumsy' turn that takes him away from goal in relation to his stronger foot (see video).
  
• Description: The player will do a chip in a very bizarre slicing way, a glitch move.
  
• Tips: Very, very hard to pull off, even in training, not one for use in matches really. A nice party piece when it happens though.
  
• Notes: For your player to do the clumsy turn, it works best, if using a right footed player, to run DOWN the pitch (towards the right wing), then do a right angled turn away from goal and then immediately do another and then shoot instaneously. The video below shows it better than words can.
  

Secret Slice Lob Toe Punt Variation: By Maddeth and TVI

• Controls: (L1) + ([]) when your player has just done a 'clumsy' turn that takes him away from goal in relation to his stronger foot (see video).
  
• Description: The player will use his weaker foot and punt it into the ground in a slightly bizarre animation.
  
• Tips: A glitch of a glitch, this happens purely by chance it would seem.
  
• Notes: Performed in the exact same way as a standard slice chip. See video below for the animation to look out for.
  

Zidane Turns:

• Controls: Dpad used at certain angles:
  • Turn 1: Dpad in opposite direction that corresponds to your player's stronger foot (in a right footer facing right, that would be down/left) and immediately press it in the direction he was originally facing.
    
  • Turn 2: Dpad as with Turn 1, but instead of pressing the direction the player was originally facing, press the diagonal direction that corresponds with his stronger foot (in the case of our example player, that would be down right).
    
  • Turn 3: Dpad same as before, but instead of pressing down right or right, press up.
• Description: Three extremely stylish looking turns reminiscent of tricks the great Zinedine Zidane used to perform.
  
• Tips: Very, very difficult to perform and not much use either. Look incredibly cool when they are done though.
  
• Notes: View Maddeth's video for a view of how they look. Players with higher Dribble Accuracy and Agility can do the turns faster. Can also be combined nicely with tricks like V-Feints and Dragbacks.
  

Russian Roulette: By Maddeth

• Controls: Rotate Right Stick by 180-degrees either anti-clockwise or clockwise (as with the Marseille Roulette, and then use either (X) or the Manual Pass buttons to kick the ball.
  
• Description: The player will make as if to start a Marseille Roulette, and then pass the ball.
  
• Tips: Looks very cool, but using (X) means the ball could go off in any direction (hence the name Russian Roulette :p). Manual Passing is a much safer way of actually using the pass properly.
  
• Notes: The video shows some of the possible combos that can be done using it.
