FIFA 2005 Miscellaneous Cheats

Recommended team development:
In order to have a strong team at the start of career mode follow these steps. Go in "Squad Management" located in "My FIFA 2005" and simply put all the great players on a team that you can start with in career mode (for example, NY/NJ Metrostars but not Manchester United). Once you have put all the best players on the team, save the squads. Then, go to career mode At the region selection screen, choose the region of the squad you put all the best players on. The first time you pick the region, your new five star squad will not be there, but keep selecting the region and look for your squad. If it is not, try again. It will eventually appear.

Scoring on a corner kick:
The best corner kick play is the Near Post. Choose Near Post then press Triangle. If the player runs in past the defender, just kick it in after the bounce. If the player runs past the defender on the outside, simply head it in. If your player tries to run to the outside but the defender blocks him off, then the ball will go to the man in the middle. Switch to him and kick it in.

Easy wins:
If your rating is higher than the opponent, you can simulate the match and win about 75% of the time.

Free kick:
In other to get a good free kick, you must stop the meter at the green spot and the ball must curved to fool the keeper. There is no need to bend the ball, because it bends itself. If you bend it, you will miss the goal. The meter must stop near the green spot. Just aim the ball by the side of keeper slightly to the right of your screen. There is no need to bend the ball and take the free kick. Try this in practice mode.

Restore physical stats:
Save the game after a career mode game. Quit, then reload the saved game to increase the physicals stats of your players.

Be Celtic or Rangers in career mode:
When you first try to start a career in Region 1, you will notice that you cannot be Celtic or Rangers. However, if you select "Back" then go in again several times, Celtic and Rangers will appear at the selection screen.

Team selection in career mode:
If you cannot find your team in a region in career mode, choose that team as your "Own Team" in your profile in My FIFA 2005. You will then find that team listed first in its current region.

Buying players:
REMEMBER: Make sure you save your career before attempting this. When you are in the transfer market in career mode, and a player will not let you buy him, exit career mode and load it up again. Sometimes he might let you buy him this time around. Otherwise, you may have to become a better manager.
