Off the ball runs

[cmounsey]

Hi there,

Sorry if this is answered somewhere else, ive been looking for 15 mins but can't find it anywhere.

How do you make off the ball runs i.e. zidane plays a ball to owen, and then before owen has received the ball zidane has started to make a run to accept a through ball. The computer does this to me all the time but I cannot do it myself.

Grateful for any help

Cheers

if you play it on PS2 then.....straight after you make the pass you hold down R2 and the player who has just passed it will make an off the ball run. hopefully that will help.

Sorry guys, but your not answering the question in the right way , cos the qustion's been asked in the wrong way .

Actually running off the ball means that a player moves off the ball when he's going to receive it in order to deceive players around . What Zidane is doing is passing to owen and run forward to receive the ball again. That's simply done by pressing :L1: :x:, keep :L1: and then pressing :triangle: to send a single pass or :circle: to send the ball over the air.

I hope this really helps

lolo_strikesback, what the fuck are you on about?

:L1: + :x: = 1-2 pass where the person who sent the pass will make a run off the ball.
:L1: + :triangle: = Lobbed through pass
:L1: + :circle: = Early Cross into the box.

Having re-read the first post, you cannot force a player to run in anyway other that the 1-2 pass described above. However once you make the pass you can alter the receiver's run by pressing :R1: + :R2: to do the 'Super Cancel' this gives you completely free reign over the player's run. However this is an advanced technique and can be hard to do and is only useful if the receiver is already on the move in some way.
