Faster is still possible. The kickoff is a direct kick...

On FIFA 11, we once convinced a friend that holding "Y" right at kickoff would enter a "big head" code. Instead, a buddy and I just kicked it off, his goalie came sprinting out, and my created player scored just like this. Good times.

"Dude, just touch the ball softly and I'm gonna score."
"Yeah, right."
"Seriously! Just tap it."
"OK, but when you shank it wide, don't blame me."
Goal!
"Dude, I told you!"
"Yeah, but I got the assist!"
OT: If I criticize the goalkeeper for diving, does that make me a xylophone?
