how to use analog to sprint

anybody know how to use left analog to dribble fast
as u double tap the direction button when holding R1 to run faster

it does a double stepover and run, looks good. he knocks the ball quite far in front though so its not easy to use in a match.

to run faster than r1, press r2 when running, and change angle slightly. this is called the 'super sprint' :eek:

oh i was pressing the wrong stick LOL

yeah if u double tap the LEFT analogue stick in the direction youre running it runs a bit faster.

if you double tap the right one it does a double stepover and sprint.

You can do the double step-over and run with L1 and the direction pad too. Tap L1 three times and you're player will do a few stepovers then press forward (with R1) and your player will hit it in front of him. Very similar to what C. Ronaldo and other wingers do.

i'ts easy - if yo use the analog like i do, just hold R1 and you will keep sprinting even if you let go of the toggle stick. Then switc over to the Dpad and hit it twice.

(i seem to have problems wth the spped burst by double tapping the analog stick for some reason)

What's the bet way to change pace then, once you've [super-]sprinted and stepped-over through the space and your bearing down on the opposition defence?

I try to avoid flat out sprinting in possession and tend to use R2 (medium fast, allows more passing options than R1?) when breaking into space;

then try to side-stepping defenders who go to ground - jinking the Left analogue-stick at 45-90 degrees to the run;

or switch to R1 (edited to say, I mean L1!), putting the breaks on to change direction or look for the angle for a 1-2.

My brother says he tends to use L2 and R2 as if they jink left and right (which isn't what the manuals say). Maybe it adds a chaotic 'Lua Lua' effect to his dribbling?

Sometimes L2 seems to let me slow and change dorections more smoothly than switchig to L1 does, but I'm not sure exactly why.

What moves and buttons do people rely on most to make up their own 'style' of running with the ball?

Cellini, I think for me it just depends. I spent 3 games on Saturday only trying to hog the ball with one player, just to get comfy with dribbling and now it has improved greatly. I highly recommedn that you do the same. thw aim is to get used to controlling in traffic, not to win those 3 games.

Now, I feel pretty good with the ball, and I use all 3 speeds of dribbling as if I was playing piano with the shoulder buttons on the controller. I might lay off the R1 for 2 seconds, sidestep and then explode for yards with R1, then slow down, let the defender second guess me, and then L1 stepover for a second, beofre jamming forward with R1.

The bottom line is that you keep your opponets guessing cuz you are no longer at one speed in a straight line. With Damian Duff and Chelsea I have wreaked absooulte havoc on my friends in the last 2 days.

we are normally pretty even, but lately, I have won EVERY one of the last 12 games I played, including half of them with 6 or 7 goals differentials!!

I tell you, it comes down to creating opportunity and mismatches, and when your dribblng forces the Defense to come at you with more than a player, then all sorts of things open up in the box. Play 3 games of ball-hogging like I did and see the difference.

i hear you.

really frustrates the opposition doesn't it?

recoba is causing havoc for me at the moment, but ronaldinho was absolutely on fire when i used to play as barca.

and if you've got the ball, the opposition can't score.

simple game, this football lark...

My mate has this annoying arse stepp he does...

He Sprint using R1 and when i get near him he holds in R2 and does a 90 degree change of direction it is very hard to counter...

I am just glad that he cant finish... :D

ghazi,

You're right, I tried incorporating some R1+jinking the Left Analogue stick - it works well when the opposition lose possession in midfield and my own midfielder could knock the ball forward into space, leaving half the opposition behind the play. Or breakng out wide to make the angle for a cross.

Either way, there's usually enough space to do it once or twice at most, then change pace.

I know what you mean about just practicing possession/dribbling - Figo has shown me a thing or two in Training - it's the only way to get individual skills ingrained, then incorporate them into a style of play.

As you put it:
"lay off the R1 for 2 seconds, sidestep and then explode for yards with R1, then slow down, let the defender second guess me, and then L1 stepover for a second, beofre jamming forward with R1."

I read that as...you win possession...hit R2+jink Left Analogue Stick to side-step into space...then R1+another jink for the burst of pace running at the defence...then L1 to hit the brakes and double-tap it to step-over (more vulnerable to a tackle?)...and switch to R2+jink on the Left Analogue to burst past (hopefully) the last defender (risk over-running the ball?).

This ability to smoothly change pace and direction in controlled way (in both dribbling and passing) - creating the opportunities and mismatches you mention - is what makes the game for me, so rather than looking for individual flicks and feints to use as if they were special moves in Street Fighter or EA's FIFA, I try to find the combinations of simpler moves that fit together smoothly.

If your defender drops off, waiting for the side-step? I find L2 seems to apply a stronger physical challange to the dribbler, but I've never seen L2 mentioned as having a part in gameplay apart from used together with R1 and R2 to move the teams Attack levels up and down.

Anyone have any other uses for L2?

I've more or less got this side-stepping lark under control(R2+jinking Left Analogue), but I think if performed three times over, I can get Henry or Figo to go from slow dribble (using L1) into what looks like a three point turn - brilliant to beat two closing you down on the edge of the box.

Still, half the time I spin out in an unexpected direction (e.g. back into midfield) so I think the key must be the sequence of directions on the Left Analogue stick.

Sometimes I hog the ball with one player and then suddenly realise I have my best defender in the opponents box and he can't shoot for toffee, not to mention the fact that if the other side counter attack, my best defender is at the wrong end of the pitch!!

Cellini and others,
Have you tried dribbling with just the directional buttons (no shoulder buttons). In that way you can do sharp turns, 90 degress, for example between right-up and right-down. I find this is about as effective as R2-sidestepping to get past defenders, and it's also very flexible because you can change directions anytime (and simple too).

Phelan,
Not quite, but I have tried leaving R2 out and alternating R1 and L1.

Like an old ballroom dance - slow, quick, slow turn, quick, quick, slow.

I'll give it a go later.

One other thing I've wondered is, whether people are using the buttons and sticks in the same way - holding, or tapping repeatedly? Do people 'roll' the sticks beteen angles, or let it return to the centre before moving to the next angle.

Because a lot of the moves are known to almost all players, surely a lot comes down to this kind of individual style/technique in using the controls?
