How do you I use normal buttons as against the joystick. The joystick in uncomfortable.
Thanks
How to diving?
Whatever you say but tackle is not working at all whatever I try. MAYBE they works somehow but is impossible to get close to the running attacker to do it. If I press the shoot button the player only stops and makes a hilarious movement, if I press and hold L2 still not doing anything that can help. Another huge problem is that the goalkeeper is not defending at all, no matter what button I press he just stops and watch the ball going into the goal.
Check for type of defending : Legacy & Tactical
Thanks got some more tricks.
