FIFA 06 - Strategy Guide (Page 04)
Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for FIFA 06 - Strategy Guide (Page 04).
Now, the '+'s are the defenders while '*'s are your strikers.
Corners tips
============
1. In Fifa 06, you can score corners from almost any situation. When you
are in control of the kick taker, move the arrow a bit nearer to the
center and hold A. Not too strong cause it will fly to the other half
and you wouldn't want that to happen, do we? I've scored from the far
post, center and even the near post. Even outside the box from a
corner. Well actually, the keeper punched the ball away and the ball
landed on my CM's feet so the goal is wide open. So, take the shot!!
2. You can also pass the ball to the nearest teammate. This player then
can cross the ball into the box. Creates a scoring opportunity too.
3. Defending from corner sometimes based on luck and your defender's
heading ability. Sometimes, the opposition will pass the ball to
the nearest person instead of lobbing it to the center. Sometimes,
he will pass blindly to your defender and all you've got to do is
clear it away. If the ball is too close to the center and your
defender is stupidly staying behind the player, press W to bring your
keeper out. Properly done and the ball will be in his safe hands.
Don't do this to often though.
4. The easiest way to defend is don't concede a corner. ;)
Free kicks tips
===============
One thing I hate about Fifa 06 is that they didn't put the targeting
system like Fifa 2005's free kick. But, you've bought the game and you
would want to score. Here's how.
1. If you are a right kicker and aiming for the right top corner, move
the camera with your d-pad so that the ball is a bit to the right
of the right post. Then, press down on your d-pad to increase the
power and up on your d-pad to increase the height. Not too low or the
defensive wall will block it and not to high or the ball will be too
weak. That's how I aim. I never scored a free kick in World Class
though. The keepers suddenly become so good.
2. While defending direct free kicks, press the left/right arrow keys
to move your wall. I don't get it how to make your wall jump
though.
3. Indirect free kicks can be used to score too. Now, in indirect free
kicks, you need to pass the ball to another player. Now, this player
would try to score or pass it to another player in a better position
to try to score. Anyways, here's a diagram.
__
+ /|
% / |
+ + /
% + /
% /
+ /
/
Now, the '+' are the defenders while the % are the strikers. This
is just an example. It is not going to be exactly like this.
Now the arrow is where you should be aiming at. Now, the higher
lob power (A [default]), the longer it will go. You want it to reach
somewhere the center of the crowd. You can try practice mode and
try to find a way to score yourself.
4. Defending indirect free kicks are easy. If the ball comes to near,
bring your keeper out. Most of the time, a clearing header from your
defenders are enough to finish the threat. The computer can still
surprise you, be warned.
5 This is a tip from Marcos
"""""""""""""""""""""""""
It is hard to score in Professional and World Class. The best way
to try to score here is by hitting the bar before it goes it.
Here's how to do it.
The bar of shoot needs to arrives in blue bar,and needs to ajust
angle. If your player is better with his right leg,and is in right
side, adjust to right and up.If you player is best with left leg
and is in left side, adjust to left and up. Its needs practice. I
have used Adriano and Buffon, and was not so hard. To me,
38,7 m and 36,0 m, is easier.
6. If you want to curve the ball, hold Q (default) and shoot normally.
If your player uses his left leg, the ball will curve to the right
and vice versa.
7. Defending - Making your wall jump (by Stanley Ambrose)
While controlling the wall during a freekick, press the lob botton
(A:default) to make the wall jump after the kick taker has shot
the ball.
Penalties
=========
1. To score against the computer will need more luck than skill. The
com will be able to save a shot that is aimed at part of the goal.
Say it's the top corner, the com's keeper will be able to save it.
Say it's the bottom corner, the outcome will be the same. EA did
well in making it a realistic game and you would be able to score
most of the time during a penalty. Just press your Directional Pad
to the direction where you want the ball to be shot at and hold
your shooting button. A power bar will appear and it is the same
way to shoot normally in the game. Just hold the button until you
reach the dark blue part of the bar to get the most out of your
penalty.
2. To save a penalty, you will need a lot of luck. Press your
sprinting button (Default: E) and your Tactics modifier button
(Default:Q) and hold the D-Pad to the direction you want to dive
to. There will be times when the com will just shoot straight down
the middle. If that happens, all you should do is just press
nothing so that your keeper will stay in the middle to block the
shot.
Thanks to A.Y.A.Z for this tip.

EXTRAS |
/////////
Here are some extra things.
Use a 4 1/2 stars club and higher at the start of a career
-----------------------------------------------------------
So, you wanna use a club higher than 4 stars for your career. You can.
First, go to the main menu. Then, go to Team Management. Go to Squad and
pick the team you want to use. Put the worse possible starting-11
players into the starting lineup. Then, check if the club is now a 4 or
lower stars club. If it is, go to career mode and do the usual thing.
Pick the club you changed the lineup and start managing that team!
****Original idea by Yuracokn0se****
By using this team at the start of your career, you will most likely
be in debt cause your players' salaries are so high and your sponsor
won't pay that much. At the start of your career, don't bother upgrading
anything or spending on new players. Renew your player's contracts with
smaller salaries.
****Original idea from Ozwald****
Now, there's two things you can do. Either loan out (or sell if you
don't want them) your players who have high salaries. Most of them are
your star players but you need to sacrifice them for your club's
future. You can keep a minimum number of 18 outfield players. I'm a
Manchester United fan myself and I used this trick to manage my fav
club.
Now, my experience is that Ruud Van Nistelrooy is the most expensive
player in Man Utd. So, you know what I did? I loan him out. The second
most expensive player is the defender, Rio Ferdinand. Well, I loan him
out too. Then, I loan out Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. I'm not so sure if I
loan anybody else...
Then, I start to renew as much of my player's contract as I can. Here's
my tips.
Pick a player you want to renew his contract. It's better if the salary
is 300+ so that we can put it down to somewhere lower. When you are
renewing his contract, you've got to pick how many years you want to
renew his contract. Now, the longer the time you renew his contract for,
the more salary would he want. So, keep the contract length low maybe
2 or 3 years. If you can't, keep it to only 4 years while some players
would only accept 5 years.
Now, the current salary is to be divided twice. Then, offer the contract
with half the current salary and keep note of the length of time you
renewed his contract for. If he declined, reload your save and give a
higher salary. This is an example if I wanna renew Rooney's contract.
This is just an example so it is not accurate. I don't remember my
negotiations with Rooney last time.
CURRENT CONTRACT OFFERED CONTRACT
++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++
W. ROONEY W. ROONEY
Period: 3 years ----> Period: 4 years ----> DECLINED
Salary: 402 Salary: 201
Now, here's an example. I said that the salary is to be divided by two.
If 402 is supposed to be divided by two, it will be 201. Unfortunately,
sometimes the game don't give such accurate number so 202 or 204 is good
enough. Now, I reload my save and give another offer.
CURRENT CONTRACT OFFERED CONTRACT
++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++
W. ROONEY W. Rooney
Period: 3 years ----> Period: 4 years ----> DECLINED
Salary: 402 Salary: 244
Again the offer was declined. Now, you've got a target. He wants a
salary ranging from 244 - 402. Now, we want to reach the lowest he would
accept. Of course he won't tell you and you can't ask him either. Let's
try again.
CURRENT CONTRACT OFFERED CONTRACT
++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++
W. ROONEY W. Rooney
Period: 3 years ----> Period: 4 years ----> ACCEPTED
Salary: 402 Salary: 260
Ah, at last. As you can see, Rooney accepts a reduced salary at 260.
So, the wanted salary range is between 244-260. Now, aim for a salary
value of between the range. Now, reload your save again and reoffer a
new contract.
CURRENT CONTRACT OFFERED CONTRACT
++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++
W. ROONEY W. Rooney
Period: 3 years ----> Period: 4 years ----> ACCEPTED
Salary: 402 Salary: 252
YEAH!! Rooney accepts a much less salary now. Now, the range is 244-252.
Reoffer for a less amount of salary.
CURRENT CONTRACT OFFERED CONTRACT
++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++
W. ROONEY W. Rooney
Period: 3 years ----> Period: 4 years ----> DECLINED
Salary: 402 Salary: 248
Owhh!! Rooney declines. Now, the range is 248-252. That's not so
expensive right? Reoffer!!
CURRENT CONTRACT OFFERED CONTRACT
++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++
W. ROONEY W. Rooney
Period: 3 years ----> Period: 4 years ----> ACCEPTED
Salary: 402 Salary: 250
YEAH!! ROONEY ACCEPTS!! Now, that's better. This is the lowest amount
of salary he will accept. If you pick 248, he will decline and an amount
of salary of 252 will be accepted too but we're aiming for the lowest
salary.
So, this is what you can do to reduce the amount of salary of your
players. Keep note of the renewal costs and the period of contract.
The longer the contract is offered for, the more would the player want
for his salary.
Increase injuries
-----------------
You can call me crazy but I want my players to get injured. Hehe. It's
more realistic that way. Here's a trick to increase injury chances in
the game.

It's okay I think. I read that XBox users too experienced lagging
in some areas of the game. I think that's okay because console games
are not like PC games. The games follow the console requirements
not the console follows the game requirements like us. If the
lagging is too bad, increase your RAM and Processor speed. The
easiest solution is to lessen the programs running while playing.
