I was playing a few games yesterday against my brother in law and got pounded. Whats the button combination to let a pass drift passed you and turn and run on to it. I was getting peed of with my forward stopping the ball and turning.
I think that is R1 (or the xbox equivalent) as the ball in coming to you.
Also if you are in enough space flicking the r-stick in the direction you are wanting to go can make your player control the ball so it goes in that direction. Be careful with this though as you can end up losing the ball if you get it wrong
