DRIBBLES / SPECIAL MOVES
Fakeshot

To fake a shot you have to press SQUARE and then X fast.Only available on opponents side.
(Actually you have to press X while the shot meter is running)
The dribble can be used to trick the keeper , but also to pass the defender =>he'll think you want to shoot and do a tackle.


The step-over

Press L1 fast 2 or 3 times.Then press the direction in wich you want to go when the dribble is done.You can do 1,2 or 3 step-over's.It depends on how fast you press a directional button after you pressed L1.
This dribble is not just for fun.It does work.You can evoke a fault with it too.
(Of course if you're no good with free kicks it's practically useless)
It 's best used frontally.It needs a good timing.


Let a ball through

When you are about to recieve a normal pass (X) press L1.
The player will let the ball go through his legs.
Caution : don't press a direction or you will start sprinting.


Fast ball-movement

Example : You are moving from left to right.(direction -> )                
When an opponent comes towards you press press fast : diagonally up-right , right .
It works best when a defender comes frontally towards you but works also in other directions.
Again good timing is needed.








Superspecial dribble  (the thing needs a name...)

This guide is for the ISS Pro Evolution
1 game .You best select Practice session first to learn it.
When you are running(or sprinting) in any direction and you stop running(just release all buttons) ,you will see that the player puts his foot on the ball for a moment, to stop the ball.
At that moment (When he puts his foot on the ball),press R1 and then the opposite direction of the direction you were running in.

For example :you're running from left to right ( -> ).
             release all buttons and at the moment your player puts his foot on the ball ,
             press R1 , <-

             Remember :it can be used in all directions :also diagonally.
This dribble is best
not done frontally ,
it's not effective that way and you will even lose the ball.

It can be used in defence :

                   BEFORE                                                                           AFTER                              
                                                                     DRIBBLE





but also in attack.Again it requires excellent timing.

NOTE : There are so many dribbling techniques in the ISS , Pro Evolution Soccer and Winning Eleven games that I could probably write a book about it ( and as you could guess , I'm not going to do that :-)  ).
Practice is the key to succes .
Here are just some to get you started (The first three are even in the manual ).
