Download them all. Each one is a specific topic that I pasted the pics into. The pictures are actually mated up to topics giving examples of the concepts. I've only really given it a passing glance, as I was so busy getting it ready to put up. My favorite is the new formation info and the Custom Tactics. But there's a lot of tips for building attacks and playing good D, which has changed a bit from 08. But I'd say get them all, at least on your PC..... It's great stuff! Brian

question about trapping... are you guys pressing L2 (L trigger) as an arial ball approaches? or, is it just the ball control rating along with the left stick?

[gomito#10]

yo this is awesome, what might help is the button that you use to do some of these features, for each setup... or at least the name of the button for the custom controls, nice work boys

Hi folks, greetings from the UK. I signed up just to say this is an absolutely awesome effort, and will be greatly appreciated by any FIFA players that find it. The standard in-box game manual that came with FIFA 09 is inadequate at best, so this guide is a absolute must for any owners who want to get the best out of the game. It clearly and concisely explains all the subtle little things that can go a long way to making the difference between frustration and elation, but also has the added bonus of revealing the hidden depths that EA have built into this great game. Why something like this guide is not packaged in with the game I'll never know..!

Thanks again guys.

Pace control is LT on the 360 with 'new alternate' controls on. Don't think there's an actual button for trapping, more about timing i think. What i do is press the pace control button and turn in the direction i want to go.

Here's the guide again, all as one pdf.
