When you kick off start your kick with the triangle button. Place your kick half way between the sidleine and the middle of the field. There is no need to hit the trangle button again. Just let the power meter go all the way to the bottom. This works alot better if you put your fastest players to the side and direction you are kicking, preferably a created player with alot of speed. Once you kick the ball get control of the player closest to the ball and when near the ball press triangle to jump. Once you have this down pat you should never have to play defense again.
