Game Guide:

The in-game AI tends to rely on straight-line attacks, which players can exploit by intercepting the ball in the midfield. When on the offensive, try taking long shots from outside the penalty box, as the goalkeepers in this game are relatively weak against mid-range, low-driven shots. If you're in a tough match, use corner kicks as an opportunity to score by mashing the button to win headers. Be mindful of changing your pace when controlling the ball; don't hold down the sprint button continuously, or your players' movements will become extremely sluggish as their stamina drains. In the knockout stages, a solid, steady defense will give you a better chance of reaching the final than reckless attacking.
