There is no way to do this manually. Display: ```````` The top half of the screen is the playing area. It takes up nearly all the space.

Simply shoot long from around the area of the penalty box to have a good chance to score. They don't even catch the ball, but just leave it a their feet. Sure it's the same as catching, but shows you how lousy the game design is for the 'keepers. Dribble around to the side of the penalty box and the central defenders will often run away as if you aren't a threat. You will be man-marked but won't have to deal with three guys instead. Once you run back into the penalty box they will return to haunt you, yet by then you will try and shoot to score. Dribble is used to control the ball better and don't lose it quickly when the opponent slides in. When you are far away from the other player controlling the ball, switch to run to get near quickly. Don't give them an opportunity to shoot, remember the first tip I gave you and think how that can apply to others too. Passing is a bit risky. You may just want to try and far up the field with one player. When you are in the back and there are opponents approaching then boot it forward before losing the ball, but once you are in attack just try and go around the indiviuals and shoot. =============================================================================== This guide is available for and to anyone who wishes to use the information on their site or in their own guide.
