|INTRODUCTION|
/////////////
Fifa 2006 is a game made by EA Sports. It is the next football game
of the Fifa series. This game has perfect gameplay where you control
almost everything, cross power, shot power, body blocking and more.
This game also has better graphics then its predecessors and much more
improvement from FIfa 2005. The option to use Off The Ball mode is
gone in this game, which makes the game harder but it is still a good
football game. In this game, your players will be more aggresive. Your
defenders will not stay in their own half for the entire game, the
midfielders can stray away from their positions to reach a cross or a
through ball from someone. Your strikers are the same like the
previous version. Every player in your team have potential to score,
even your defenders!
The entrance is just amazing improvement, kind of Winning Eleven
entrance with the game showing each team's formation. The animation
when you score or conceded is just amazing.
The real spectacle of this game is not the gameplay, (Winning Eleven
tops that) but the manager mode. You can sign sponsors which you can
gain money to pay your players' salaries. You can also loan in players
or loan out your players who are not playing. This will keep them happy
and you won't need to pay their salaries. Unlike Fifa 2005, there's
a contract alert. Your players will not stay with you forever, you will
need to renew their contract when they almost expire. Changing Kit
numbers is also a new feature in Fifa 06. Not to forget Team Chemistry.
Team Chemistry is how good your team know each other and this will
improve their game.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
|RULES OF THE GAME|
//////////////////
Let's start with some basics.
FOOTBALL is a 22 player game.
-----------------------------
Football (soccer) consists of 22 players (well, official games) with 11
players in each team. One keeper with 10 outfield players in each team.
FOOTBALL is a passing game
--------------------------
Remember, the ball moves faster than the player. Passing the ball helps
your team score!
You need to SHOOT a BALL into the NET to win
--------------------------------------------
By scoring goals more than you conceded will allow you to win
Throw-in
--------
When the ball goes out, the one who get to throw the ball in is the
opposition of the side who last touched the ball. For example, if
Cristiano Ronaldo (Man. United) touched the ball last, then Damien Duff
(Chelsea) will get to do the throw-in.
Fouls
-----
Now, in this game, if you do a sliding tackle that did not hit the ball
but hit the player who is bringing the ball that is a foul. If you use
your hand to block the ball (in the game, you can't do it intentionally,
just accidentally), that's a foul. The most obvious foul is when you
tackle the guy from the back. Sure a yellow or even a red card! But,
the referee would allow the advantage rule. Scroll down to read about
it.
Advantage Rule
--------------
During some point of the game, well, almost every game, the referee
would just leave a foul unattended. This is because of the advantage
rule. The one who committed the foul will be safe while the one who is
tackled will... you know. When you tackle and it will sure grant you
a card, it is better to the opposition to retrieve the ball and your
player safe. Same thing when the foul is committed against you. If you
are tackled and the referee's picture is shown at the top left of the
screen, advantage rule is engaged. If you managed to get the loose ball
first, the foul will be left unattended and gives you a chance for a
break. Beware, your player could suffer.
Offside
-------
This happens when a player is behind the defense line when the ball is
played to him. The offside will only be given if the ball is played to
him. I'll just draw this for you.
+ +
+ +
+ +
# ---> # # ------->#
+ +
OFFSIDE!!!!! NOT OFFSIDE!!!
The '+' symbol represents the defender while '#'representing your
player. The arrow represents your pass.
Besides this, you can use tactics to increase your chance of scoring.
TACTICS
=======
This is where we will see the different tactics for your team to use in
the game. Thanks to hosh_hosh_2 and Jussi for their help here. Here are
also my suggestions for a particular tactic. If you disagree, kindly send
an e-mail to me and i'll post your suggestion on using the tactic to its
best.
To change the attacking tactics, you will need to press this numbers on
the right of your keyboard.
______________
/ -- \
8 --> Counter-attack (CA) / ( CA ) \
/ -- \
6 --> Wingplay (WP) / -- -- \
|( MR ) ( WP )|
2 --> Box Overload (BO) \ -- -- /
\ -- /
4 --> 3rd Man Release (MR) \ ( BO ) /
\ -- /
\____________/
Counter-attack
""""""""""""""
This tactic is useful after set pieces (especially corners) cause there
won't be a lot of defenders defending. Your players will move forward
fast to catch the opposition offguard. All you need to do is just pass
accurately and trick the defenders.
Wingplay
""""""""
This tactic is my favourite tactic. To use this tactic to the fullest,
you will need to have a formation with wing backs or wingers. 4-4-2,
4-4-1-1, 4-1-2-1-2, etc is alright for this tactic. Your wingers and
wingbacks will be ready to retrieve a pass and cross it in. After that,
just head it in. Works well in World Class!!
Box Overload
""""""""""""
Pushes more players into the oppositions box. Nice to use with wingplay.
More players will be in the box to score from a cross.
3rd Man Release
"""""""""""""""
Usually when passing, there's two sides. The passer and the recipient.
This tactics calls upon another sides, the third man. Of course you will
need to be sharp to find the third player. It could be your striker,
or left midfielder or even your defender.
While defending, you will need to press Q and a particular number on
the right of your keyboard.
______________
/ -- \
8 --> Pressing (PR) / ( PR ) \
/ -- \
6 --> Offiside Trap (OT) / -- -- \
|( FB ) ( OT )|
2 --> Zonal Defending (ZD) \ -- -- /
\ -- /
4 --> Flat Back (FB) \ ( ZD ) /
\ -- /
\____________/
Pressing
""""""""
This tactic is useful but dangerous. This will move your players towards
the player with the ball to take the ball away. There could be 2 against
one or even 3 against one player. The bad thing about this tactic is
that it opens a gap in your defence. Works wonders if you want to get
the ball away from the person as quick as possible. Be warned about using
this tactic.
Offside trap
""""""""""""
This tactics moves your defenders to a straight line in front of the
opposition strikers. This is my most least used tactic. Doesn't work well
for me but if you trust your defenders to keep a straight line, try this
out.
Zonal Defending
"""""""""""""""
Zonal defending is my most used defending tactic. The defenders will stay
at their position unless you call them (pressing Q). Once they 'shooed'
an opposition away, they will come back to their positions. I love this
tactic!!
Flat Back
"""""""""
I don't get the use of this tactic. Kind of the same as Offside trap but
this tactic is not meant to trap the opposition. Really stupid tactic
for me.
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
|GAME CONTROLS|
//////////////
You can't play the game if you don't know the controls right, here's
the controls for the keyboard.
Q = Tactics Modifier
W = Through Pass
E = Sprint
A = Lob / Sliding Tackle
S = Pass
D = Shoot / Conservative Tackle
Z = Dummy Move/Cancel
C = Pace Control
TACTIC MODIFIER
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Honestly, I don't know how to use this. But, you can press Q + D when
defending to call a second defender to stop the opponent from advancing
with the ball. If you check 'My Fifa 06', and explore, you will see
the tactics. Counterattack, Pressing and such. But, I never get to use
them. While defending, this button will call a second defender to come
and help you to take the ball.
THROUGH PASS
-+-+-+-+-+-+
I like to use this option. This key will pass in front of a player.
This will give them space and able to score.
SPRINT
-+-+-+-+
Well, it lets your players run like previous Fifa games. When you are
sprinting, its hard to control the ball so when you encounter a player
who steal the ball, stop tapping or pressing E and use your d-pad.
LOB/AGGRESIVE TACKLE
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Pressing this button when you are controlling the ball will lift the
ball. How long you press it is how far and strong it will go. While
defending, the selected player will do a sliding tackle to retrieve
the ball. Don't tackle from the back!
PASS
-+-+-+-+
This button will allow the selected player to pass. Duh!!
SHOOT
-+-+-+
Now, this button is vital for your success. How long you press is how
strong it will go. If you press this in your half, the selected player
will do a clearance while in your opponent's half, shoot. When
defending, this button will do a conservative tackle, safer tackle but
you will need to do it in front of the player with the ball
successfully take the ball.
DUMMY MOVE/CANCEL
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Makes your player do some skill with his legs. When retrieving a pass,
press this and the ball will go through his legs. Quite nice, but I
never accomplish anything with it.
PACE CONTROL
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Controls your movement. Its like dribbling, but not forward just to the
sides. This button is used when you are the only player up front. Use
this button to gain time for your fellow players go up front to receive
the ball. Use this button when retrieving a pass to control the ball to
a halt.
Other than this, there's more advanced techniques to be used.
Fake moves
+-+-+-+-+-+
To do a fake move, you will need to determine your move. If you want to
pass, press S. If you want to shoot, press D. If you want to lob, press
A. As soon as you pressed the button, quickly press Z. This will allow
your player to fake a pass/shot/lob. If done correctly, you will be
able to trick a player marking. If done correctly with a keeper, you
could make the keeper jump to the wrong way and leaves his goal wide
open for a goal.
LOB PASS
+-+-+-+-+
Press Q and W to lob the ball in front of the target player. This ball
auto detects the player and you won't need the power bar. Sometimes,
the ball can get so weak that you will give the ball away. This move
is good when you want to pass a ball above a defender to give your
target man chance to score.
CHIP SHOT
+-+-+-+-+
Press Q and D when you are one on one with the keeper. You will need to
wait for the keeper to rush towards you. This will leave more space
between the keeper and the goal. When he dives down to get the ball from
your player's legs, quickly press the corresponding button to chip the
ball above the keeper. You will need to time this correctly for it to
work. You can also charge while holding the button to increase the
height.
DOUBLE PASS/1-2 PASSING
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Hold the Tactic modifier button (default: Q) and press S. This will pass
to the closest player. The player who passed the ball will burst in
front. You will control the player who received the ball before. Press
W (through pass) to pass the ball back to the player who passed the ball
to him. Look at this diagram.

Thanks to Nadav Elovic for his superb tip!!
SHIFT dribbling skills / First touch
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
This is where you can use your players' abilities in dribbling or
tricking the opposition. I still need more help on this so if you know
anything more, kindly send them to me. Thanks in advance.
!!!NOTE!!!
To use these moves, you need not to sprint and is adviced not to sprint.
Side Dribbling
==============
While not sprinting, press Shift and the particular player will cover
the ball with his legs. This is useful when an opposition player comes
from the side of the player.
Sidestep
========
While not sprinting, press the side keys with the Shift to do a sidestep.
The side keys are according to the direction your player is moving. Here
is a diagram.
/|\ The arrow shows the direction where your
| player is looking at. So, the left and right
| keys on your arrow keys are the side keys.
O
SIDE --|-- SIDE

\| / \
SIDE
Pressing a particular side key makes the player move to that particular
direction. So, if I press the left side key, the player will sidestep to
the left.
This move is useful when a player comes to you. Timed properly and your
player will sidestep to a direction and the opposition player will miss
you.
FAST SPRINTING
==============
You need to sprint to do this. When you sprint, press Shift and your
player will push the ball forward and giving more space between the
player and the ball, thus increasing the player's sprinting speed.
Do this when no one is in front of you.
