Easy goals - When one on one with the goalkeeper, press L2 + Circle to
do a finesse shot. This will trick the keeper from going from one side
to the other. For example, fake right and shoot left or vice versa. It
will go in about 90% of the time.
Easy wins - When you are losing a match, press Start and go to "Select
Sides". Switch to the other team, then shoot at your own net and score
goals for your team original. Once your team is winning by a comfortable
lead, switch back to your original team.
Finding Giovanni Dos Santos - You can find Giovanni Dos Santos in
Barcelona's reserve list. Even though he is only 69 overall you can edit
his stats and make him as good as Ronaldinho. You will then have two of
the best midfielder's in the game.
If you have the ball and are outside the area but not on your half, you
can check on the map how far the keeper is off his line. Normally he is
about two meters. You can lob him easily if you get the power correct.
Easy unlockable points - Select Tournament mode and choose any cup tournament, as they tend to be shorter. Select the highest rated team or replace a team in the tournament with a highly rated team from another league. Advance to Tournament Central and quick sim all the games until you have won the tournament. You will be awarded unlockable points to spend.
Easy money - While playing as any team in Manager mode, buy the best free agents in the transfer market. Sell them during the same transfer market window so you do not have to pay the high salary. Because they are free to you, once you sell them you can get the added millions to your bank account.
Full team stamina - In Manager mode, save the game, quit, then load Manager mode again and all your players' stamina will be almost fully refilled. Repeat this process as much as desired.
Cheaper players - This trick works in Manager mode when you are changing teams at the end of a season. At the end of the season when you are asked whether or not to renew certain players' contracts, choose not to renew the contracts of your favorite or best players (the ones you want on your new team). When you get to the new team and the transfer period starts, the players will be free agents, allowing you to transfer them without paying millions in fees and allowing you to re-negotiate the contract to fit your new team.
Preview unlockables - Purchase unlockable items without saving your profile. After testing items, simply reload your profile to re-acquire the unlockable points. By using this technique you can unlock and test all the unlockables in the game.
Double stepover - Cristiano Ronaldo and Robinho are two of the best dribblers. Use the Trick Stick with Ronaldo or Robinho to perform a double stepover. Press Forward, then rotate left and then right.
