    Honestly, I wouldn't really bother with the manual 'til you feel comfortable just playing with all the basic commands. I don't think the practice area is quite as good as in previous versions, but if you want to learn some of the practical skills, go in there and play.

    My basic tips -
    Learn to use the Square button to get another teammate to go to the ball (so you can 'control' two players at once) - learn to hold X when trying to get the ball off a player - learn when to run and not to (tapping and holding the run button both do different, useful things) - and then advance to Right Trigger, which appears to do fancy things in this new version. I've been playing for about 5 years, and that's fundamentally as far as I've got. Oh, and I guess you know to swap to the player nearest the button with your Left Shoulder button when you're not in possession?
