How to Do Tricks on FIFA 2007

"FIFA 2007" is a soccer title produced by Electronic Arts (EA). The game is rated E (Everyone). In "FIFA," you try to build a strong club and lead your team to the championship. You play each match, controlling the players while they are on the pitch. While each player has basic controls such as running, passing, shooting and sliding, there are some advanced ball-handling skills that can be utilized to help you become an elite player.

Instructions

Standing Skills
- 1
  Perform a "drag back" by flipping the joystick on your PlayStation 2 controller back two times in a row. This will roll the ball back closer to you and is effective at making a defender miss if he is trying to steal the ball.
- 2
  Perform a "standing step-over" by quickly flipping the joystick forward two times in succession. This will cause your player to do some fancy footwork all around the ball, potentially confusing the defender.
- 3
  Press either "Left-Left" or "Right-Right" on the joystick to perform a "fake step." This move will misdirect the defense.
- 4
  Pull back on the joystick and from that position quickly rotate it to the right or the left. This will rotate your position 90 degrees, and you will pull the ball back to you and flick it out in the new direction. This is a "drag back with a flick."
- 5
  Press "Left-Right" or "Right-Left" on the joystick to extend a "knock-on" to your "standing step-over." This footwork will misdirect an oncoming defender.
Running Skills
- 6
  Push forward on the joystick. From that position quickly rotate the joystick around to the left or right to perform a "lane change." This will help you get out of the way of an approaching defender.
- 7
  Press R2 on the controller to perform a "sideways dribble."
- 8
  Flick the joystick forward two times in a row to perform a "step-over" while running. The defender will become confused by your footwork, and it can create space between you and him.
- 9
  Press "Up," "Down," "Up" in quick succession to get the ball airborne. The "ball lift" can help avoid a sliding tackle.
Shooting Skills
- 10
  Press the "shoot" button on the system's controller will have your player perform a "laces shot." This shot is less accurate but will have the most power behind it.
- 11
  Hold down the L2 button on the controller plus the "shoot" button to perform a "chip shot." This shot will send the ball high into the air and down toward the goal. Use this shot when you need to get the ball over the goalie's head.
- 12
  Fake the defense out by pretending to shoot. While holding down the shoot button, press pass to "fake pass."
