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.
Better Physical Percentage
This is a very good tip when you are playing the career mode or tournaments. After you finish a game, the physical percentage of your players decreases and maybe you're going to choose another one just to recover that percent, so save and quit your career, load it again and the physical percentage of your starting lineup will be much better.
Change Song
Just press the right trigger and it will automatically change the song.
Changing teams in category
When you start a new season and cannot find the team, go back then enter that category again. The teams will change.
Easy goal from penalty
To score an easy goal from a penalty, just tap B with no direction pressed. You will nearly always score.
Easy goals
You can score easy goals by crossing from the side and pressing B for a bicycle kick/header (90% success rate).
Swap sides and sabotage your opponent's line up. Take off the king-pins, put center backs up front, etc. Then, resume control of your original team again and continue playing.
To easily fake the goalie out on the opposite team, press Black. The goalie will dive to a ball that is not there. Then, make a left or a right and press Y. Do not press B or the ball will go in an unwanted place.
Move the Right Analog-stick slightly towards you then immediately press B. You will be able to score a beautiful goal from about 30 meters with some nice action.
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.
To score a free kick, put the target in the top corner of the side of the goal that the wall is standing in front of. Make sure that you do not press Spin and that the spin target is in the dead center of the ball. Put a fair amount of power in, but do not go near there. Also, make sure the accuracy is in the middle of the green. The ball will shoot over the wall and into the top corner.
Recommended players
Kieron Dyer might only be four and half stars, but is a lot better. He can run past anyone and is well worth buying.
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.
Skip music/EA Trax
Click the Right Analog-stick to skip the current playing song. This can be done in every screen that is playing the EA Trax, except during loading and saving the game.
Strong team
To play with a great team on career mode, first choose your favorite team on the beginning screen. Then, go to the player creation screen. Create the players that you want or need. At the team options screen, send them to your team, then go to career mode. In the screen that appears before the game (squad and formation screen), make the necessary substitutions. This is an easy way to play on professional or world class level, and give your players all the needed stats.
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.
