Shielding the ball??

[alawode11]

Hi guys,
{1}How do u shield the ball from opponents when u are manovering / turning with the ball to avoid having it stolen away form you?
{2}Also how do u trap the ball at your feet when it is lobbed to you?

Thanks in advance

I think :R2: can be used to shield the ball, as it is used for close control and I think I use the same button to trap the ball, but I may be wrong. Give it a try.

I think you have to leave the d-pad in its normal position. Make sure you are facing away from the opposition though. Don't press anything and he should shield the ball. The other one, try pressing R2 to control it to your feet.

i fink if u dont press ne fing it can shield it 4 u.

if u ever play a 2 player game against sum1 and u start wivout dem
it is hard 2 tackle dem becoz dey automatically shield da ball

when runnin wit de ball let go of the directional pad hold down r1 and your player wil stop then when a player comes behind u while stil holding r1 press de directional pad in the direction of the player behind u this wil make yur player back into him and shield the ball

You can shield the ball simply by doing nothing, the only thing you have to mind is that the opposite player is in your back and not in front of you. For controlling the ball smoothly, press the R2 button just before the ball reaches the player
