FIFA 2005
Easy goals:
-----------
You can score easy goals by crossing from the side and pressing B for a bicycle
kick/header (90% success rate). Additionally, swap sides and sabotage your
opponent's line up. Take off the king-pins, put center backs up front, etc.
Then, resume control of your original team again and continue playing. Also, to
easily fake the goalie out on the opposite team, press Black. The goalie will
dive to a ball that is not there. Then, make a left or a right and press Y. Do
not press B or the ball will go in an unwanted place.
Easy goal from penalty:
-----------------------
To score an easy goal from a penalty, just tap B with no direction pressed. You
will usually always score.
Free kick:
----------
In order to get a good free kick, you must stop the meter at the green spot and
the ball must curve to fool the keeper. There is no need to bend the ball,
because it bends itself. If you bend it, you will miss the goal. The meter must
stop near the green spot. Just aim the ball by the side of keeper slightly to
the right of your screen. There is no need to bend the ball and take the free
kick. Try this in practice mode. Additionally, to score a free kick, put the
target in the top corner of the side of the goal that the wall is standing in
front of. Make sure that you do not press Spin and that the spin target is in
the dead center of the ball. Put a fair amount of power in, but do not go near
there. Also, make sure the accuracy is in the middle of the green. The ball will
shoot over the wall and into the top corner.
Restore physical stats:
-----------------------
Save the game after a career mode game. Quit, then reload the saved game to
increase the physicals stats of your players.
Be Celtic or Rangers in career mode:
------------------------------------
When you first try to start a career in Region 1, you will notice that you
cannot be Celtic or Rangers. However, if you select "Back" then go in again
several times, Celtic and Rangers will appear at the selection screen.
Good volley:
------------
Press White, then B to chip then volley the ball in a unique way.
Good skill:
-----------
To do good skill, press White and move the Right Analog-stick in any direction.
You can do nutmegs.
Strong team:
------------
To play with a great team on career mode, first choose your favorite team on the
beginning screen. Then, go to the player creation screen. Create the players
that you want or need. At the team options screen, send them to your team, then
go to career mode. In the screen that appears before the game (squad and
formation screen), make the necessary substitutions. This is an easy way to play
on professional or world class level, and give your players all the needed
stats.
This trick works well in career mode, but is extremely time consuming. Create
yourself, and up to two other fielders. Place yourself on any team that has a
rating of half a star or one star (for example, Chattertown in Football League
2). After doing this, release the best players on that team, keeping only enough
players to have 18. Create a perfect goalie to keep on your roster. Next, create
about fifteen goalies that are perfect, and make sure to set their year of birth
to 1960. By doing this, they are all 44 years old and will retire at the end of
the season. After doing all this, choose the team that you put the players on as
"Your Team". By doing this, when you go into career mode they will be the first
team in the list. Select that team then go ahead and start career mode. When you
start, go directly to the transfer market. Once there, trade away as many of the
old perfect goalies that you have. You will get about 32,000 to 35,000 for each
goalie in transfer points. This will leave you with about 250,000 to 300,000
transfer points at the end. You can take that money and buy the best players so
that your team will be stacked from the start of career mode. The only snag is
that besides the perfect goalie you created for yourself to keep, you will have
to keep two of the old goalies. This is acceptable, because when they retire you
will get scouted players that are extremely good.
