Complete the following achievements to unlock Xbox Live Gamerscore points.
In Manager mode, access the experience points menu. Near the top of the screen is an option you can toggle if you wish to have the experience points spent automatically. Turn the autospend off. Save up until you have about 40,000 experience points, or roughly a third of a season. Then, go back into the menu where you spend your points. You can spend a lot more points in one go. This makes it easier to decide what aspects of a player to upgrade. When you have 40,000 experience points, turn on the auto spend. The CPU spends the points better if there are more to spend.
When taking a free kick from just outside the box or a little bit further, hold down LB and RB and aim for the right or left side of the goal depending on what side of the goal you are standing on. If you are in the middle aim to the players strongest foot.
Hit the ball at about quarter power and it should go in pretty much all the time
