Jermsspeed: ""Super cancel" is the only thing that can help give range to your movement, but most times it's awkward to manipulate."
Not if you use 1 finger to toggle from, to, and between :R1:&:R2:
Guys,
Get 1000 points and purchase the six stars difficulty in WE-Shop. The CPU will engage you full on without cheating (First time in WE!), doing the kind of moves that will make you stop and take note. You won't even touch the ball if you're playing the way you are explaining in your post, especially in aerial maneuvering. Playing six stars will force you to adjust to the right style.
Ball interception: Super cancel :R1:+:R2: with a perfectly timed direction-press to intercept, followed by pressing either :R1
Release :R2
to quickly dribble away or :R2
Release :R1
to slow down the ball and open space for passing.
An example would be intercepting a high ball with your Chest with :R1:+:R2: and then the second touch with your foot holding :R2: and a different direction.
Also if you have to run forward or to the sides to intercept (moving in defense), don't start running with :R1:. First, adjust your direction by pressing :R1:+:R2: with the right direction angle and then let go of :R2: and start running. Hold :R1:+:R2: again before impact to react to opponent's faints! If you are pressing :square: your second player might run more than he should, again quickly tap :R1:+:R2:+:L1: to stop him before he opens a gap in your defense. That's defending by closing all the spaces without the tackle and slide. If you perfect the first steps to closing your defense, you will minimize your use of the :x: & :circle: and improve your tactics in defense.
In offense, after you pass, press your desired direction to adjust your position while receiving (but your receiving player won't adjust quite yet), tap :R1:+:R2: before receiving the ball for the perfect receival, but not for too long or your player might move away and not connect, unless of course you don’t want him to (hint). How many times did you know where to go but your player stumbled and didn't follow through your input? The receiving player will adjust his direction and dribble instantly from the first touch only if you press :R1:+:R2:This is how you put this problem behind you once and for all.
PS: In short don’t put your finger on the shoulder buttons unless it’s on both buttons, even for a nano second, and then release one of them for the desired move.
PPS: For simple 1-2s, tap :R2: after passing.
Hope this will help you enjoy the game more.
