: Player stamina decreases gradually over the course of the match. Sprinting constantly will quickly deplete stamina levels and when low, players become slower and weaker when shooting or contesting the ball. It is best to substitute tired players as quickly as possible.

This is an easy way to make a substitution without going to Game Plan.

1Quick Substitution Display	Press the left side of the touch pad while this button is displayed.
2Players	First, select the play to be subbed off, then select the player from your bench who will enter the match in his place. The bench players list is sorted by position of the player coming off, then overall player rating.

PAUSE MENU: You can open the Pause Menu by pressing the OPTIONS button during a match. For a detailed explanation on what each option does, see the related Help Text on screen. To return to the match from the Pause Menu, simply press either the OPTIONS button or .
