It works if an opponent is coming in with a sliding tackle. Hit R2. The player dribbling with the ball pushes it bit further ahead of himself, then skips over the sliding tackle. Works sometimes, otherwise you could use R2 and drag the Left stick diagonally towards the tackler, to...

Buttons please?

It would be nice if you could pick the colours the radar uses, some of the greys are difficult to pick out on screen quickly.

On a 28" wide screen... Default-Long normally, see more of the pitch, where to find team mates. Occasionally, I switch to Default-Normal. e.g. When playing the ML myself and I want to enjoy the graphics detail more, and play a short passing & dribbling game. Sometimes Normal-Close in...

I've never got the hang of that one. I originally hoped it meant you could stock two formations (e.g. a 3-5-2 and a 4-4-2) on the same block, but when you go through all the trouble of setting up an alternative formation, you can't exit without reverting to whatever the main formation has been...

I got one with Helguera from inside my own half (50 yrds). And saved it too. I think the key is that a player slightly bumps the goalkeeper on his way out while the ball is high in the air - then he misjudges the flight of the ball, and it goes past him. More details in these threads...

These setting are under Formation -> List Team Settings. There it lists your Attack/Defence level; the Defence System; and there are 4 general intstructions you can use to influence the attitude of your players to... 1. Back Line 2. Zone Press 3. Counter-Attack 4. Offside trap. You can...

I think you can suspend negotiations and they'll be removed from the list in the same negotiation Round. It helps when you hit the max number of negotiation for incoming players and realise you've got to remove one to get into negotiations with another player. It would be nice if you could...

Replays should show the buttons being pressed at the time by the player in control.

I think Sartor is good value, and he can play CBT as well.

I don't think the indicator appears during throw-ins, you just take control of the player's movement. I guess it shows up on the scanner (?). So maybe at free-kicks they could measure their first step in a run up. One it so the keeper thinks the ball will og one way and positions himself for...

Yes, you can only add players during a negotiation round, but it will encourage other teams to make you an offer. Depending on how you play (3 CBT's or a back four; Side MF's or wingers?), there are probably a couple of default players you can get rid of in the first negotiation rounds.

Yes, occasionally. Mostly to see what a team would look like playing in an alternative formation - like one I've taken from stocked team line-up from my memory card. Applying the stocked formation will likely move some of the wrong subs into the first team, Auto-sort will at least unscramble...

Maybe a Round Robin tournament, with Home and Away on, in Konami Cup is the closest you can get? One format I've found that works well is to do proper tournaments without any COM teams at all. Let players in turn pick a seed in each group, then if the numbers require it, a second team...

Doni or Cocu are good value. "Does it just take a few seasons of dross results before you get enough points to start buying big or does winning a cup give you a healthy points boost?" Winning games, certainly not losing. A long cup run helps a lot because you pay wages per week rather than...

Yes, its especially good for getting full-backs or wide midfielders past opponents on the wing, as long as there's space to run into, and not another defender who just has to stick out a foot to rob the ball. In-field, I find it gives too much posession to the opposition, unless your hitting...

pletikosa, As long as there are legit reasons for modding etc, they can't quite outlaw them but just make it more awkward. I heard of an Australian Rules game on the PS2, and the same developers are working on a GAA version: http://www.gamer.tv/page/feature/23101231.htm Have you seen or...

Work on the spine first. If you're not scoring enough, start with buying good value CF's then an OMF, then the CBT's and GK. If your scoring but conceding too many, go the other way. Look for players that can fit into a few positions so that over a season, they're able to fill in for...

If you mean training routines create a set-piece move, yes. It would be a nice feature for free-kicks too, both long and short. It would be nice to trigger 'set-piece' with the in-game strategies :L2: + :x: or whatever, so (certain) players would go near-post, other to the far one, or one...

Try using the L1 button instead, to immediately take close control, and turn into space. Or, use R2 and drag the Left analogue stick diagonal to the direction you want to go - this gives you a side-step, and should set you off running at medium pace. Don't hit R2 until you have actually...
