I'm in now way great but, here are some tips:
Make use of angles. Don't just run at the keeper and shoot. Come at him from the sides. Use RB for a controlled shoot.
If you get a 1v1 with the keeper, call slow down and call a teamate with LB. Hopefully the teammate can catch up. Lure the keeper toward you and once he's close, pass to the open teammate for a goal.
Hold LT to execute moves. Personally, I find them hard to pull during a game. But, If you can do so, more power to you.

your right, hey i think we need to figure out who can play any, and i think we should stack you up top instead of me you seem to make better runs, i think i would rather go to left mid or center left mid, and i am trying to find a better defence to clog up the middle thats where all there goals were going from

I started playing to Be a Pro season with my virtual pro. that's really helping with the stats.
Some simple stat increases in the Arena:
Juggle the ball, then flick the left stick in any direction, Score off the volley.
Score with a controlled shot(shoot while holding RB)

how do you do a celebration?
Hardyboy1224 said:
When you score(the list can be viewed in the pause menu > controls > celebrations) press a button (a,b,x,y) for basic running celebrations. There are some standing celebrations that make the camera zoom in on you. There's quite a few. Very fun to do! everything from Blowing kisses to the crowd to backflips.
Marvie_3 said:
Some of my favorites are the acrobatics. Pretty much cartwheels to backflips, etc. And you have to press A button to land the move or else the player falls flat on his ass.
The running celebrations are fun since you can keep moving. Nothin like scoring and doing the fist pump while running around the keeper you just scored on.
Hardyboy, some of the celebrations I unlocked are some of the ones people were pulling on us online....those bastards.
For those like me with an overall grasp of what's going on, but dunno who/what/when/where/why a finesse shot is. You can download a portion of the Prima guide for free here. It seems to be pretty helpful, explaining things like how to do a finesse shot (duh rb) but also when and what specific situations to do one.
Alright, so I unlocked all the Pro celebrations. Real fun stuff.
Couple of things I discovered while playing the Be a Pro season:
I decided to play as a forward after hardy boy suggested it(I think). Well, whatever position you chose, only the prominent abilities associated with that position will improve. All others will suffer. Ex. I chose forward. Which meansm shooting skills, stamina, accelerations will improve. However, defense skills deteriorated alot!
On the Be a Pro menu screen, while going to you next match, pressing the right stick will enable you to control ALL players. basically, you will play as the ANY player.

man i will be on someday, had a bad weekend. dude sounds like you guys are getting into the game which i like to hear. hey noren i dont know if you said this yet or not but is be a pro season offline the only way to get your skill levels up for your be a pro? and does it all carry over for online? so does that mean you can play 2 different be a pro seasons one forward one defence to keep up both skills?

No problem. I had kind of forgotten that it was Valentine's Day weekend so I made the most of it and spent some time with the lady(watched Zombieland
)The Be a Pro season isn't the only way to boost your Pro's stats. When you edit your Pro, chose the team you would like him to be in. Then, chose that team in Exhibition, Manager, or Be a Pro season. The stats do seem to carry over from all modes. Unlock an achievement in a Be A Pro season, that achievement will now be unlocked in your Be a Pro achievements book.
I started playing the Be a Pro season just to check it out. It's a consistent way to play matches since the matches are all scheduled for you. The season consists of this: You start as a reserve. Your goal is to improve >>>make the first team >>> get a call up for the National team>>> make the starting 11 both for club AND country >>> make captain
Once you are captain, you can manage the team(formations, who plays where, etc). From there, feel free to change your position any time( forward one week, defense the next).
I am a bit addicted to this mode at the moment but I think that a smart way to unlock achievements and boost your Pros stats is: Play an exhibition match with your pro. As your opponent, chose a REALLY REALLY WEAK team. 1 or 2 stars. Use skills, lots of passes, take lots of shots.

I know! All the excitement really wore me down!
Marvie_3 said:
Yeah, as I mentioned before, whatever position you chose for your Pro, the stats associated with that position will increase.
Ex. Forward= Shooting ^ Passing ^ Physicality ^ Speed ^
However, as a forward you won't be in the defense, you have many chances to make goal line clears or get in the way of many shots on goal so, Defense stats will decrease.
However, once you make captain on Be a Pro, you can enter Team Management and change formations and line ups so, place youself on defense, or alternate positions.
