There are eight corners on the base of the Analog-stick. When you select what type of kickoff you are doing, choose the middle. When you get to the part where you aim your kick, press the Analog-stick Down/Left. Press A and try to get the kick to be as weak and accurate as possible. When the kicker kicks the ball, switch to the player to the left of the kicker. Run at the ball, and almost always, he or another player on your team will recover the it.
