Changing your attack levels.
Did you notice a multi coloured bar above the player names while playing? This is the attack-level indicator. It's split into 5 colours, blue, green, yellow, orange and red... blue being the most defensive and red being the most attacking. To change the attack level, hold down L2 and then either R1 for a more attacking style or R2 for more defensive.
Once you get used to changing the attack levels without much thought, the goals will come. Obviously when set to all out attack, your players will make more forward runs. It's quite hard to score on level 3 and upwards without using this feature because you just don't have the options in attack; the forward men just lose the ball because of the lack of options. You should improve a fair bit if you get used to this feature.
Defending
X is the standard button for applying pressure to your opponent. If you hold this down while tracking an opponent your player will tussle for the ball. If you press it again when directly near the opponent, you'll put your foot in and make a challenge for the ball. It's not as drastic as a slide tackle as you stay on your feet but if you time it right it's the best way of depossessing an opponent. This is more effective if you're not sprinting so get used to sprinting while pressurising until you're in the best position to win the ball, then stopping the sprint and pressing X again to make a challenge.
The other pressurise button, SQUARE, will send a player that isn't in your control to hussle the player with the ball. You can use this to either double-up on an opponent or use the player in your control for something else like tracking a runner. It's quite a useful feature at times although I don't really use it that often as you're handing a degree of responsibility to another AI defender.
Special Moves
I don't really use this at all to be honest although I may start to soon. From what I gather, it's for doing shimmy's, tricks, feints and the like. I guess it's just a case of messing around and seeing how it works.

I hope this helps mate.
