I have gamecube controller but I expect they're similar.
A - pass
B - shoot
Y - through ball
X - lob pass
right trigger - sprint
left trigger - send a player on a forward run
d-pad set tactics - BO=Box Overload, MR=3rd man running, CA=counter attack, WP=wing play - When defending, the d-pad has defence tactics like Pressing etc...
c-stick - tricks
Defending
A - control nearest player
B - standing tackle, I don't think there's any need to press sprint button, the player seems to sprint towards the defender when you hold B.
X - sliding tackle
Left trigger - Press with a second defender
I can't find any lob shot or 1-2 passing
I can't believe there isn't a training pitch to practice the controls and it doesn't let you use Football Academy with anything other than the Wii remote. Online has stunk the last few days, virtually every game disconnects.
