VP traits

OK so when you unlock these you can choose 5, at the moment I've only unlocked and selected the following three;
Long throw - on the rare occasion that I get a throw in, I have noticed a better throw
Early crosser - adds extra curl on my crosses
Skilled dribbling - I don't know exactly what this does but assume I am better at dribbling
Is there a list that tells you exactly what the traits can do for your VP and how best to use them?|||

|||why would you need a list on what they do? they state it in the edit pro screen :S (or if im being dilusional then its fairly easy to know what each one does anyway)|||My question is, what is skilled dribbling? Long throws I noticed the difference, early cross not so much but them I'm playing up front and only cross on a few occasions in a game so I might notice it more if I play out wide, skilled dribbling? Maybe I'm keeping the ball better or longer than normal but I didn't notice a massive difference. What should I be doing to take full advantage of the traits is what I am asking.|||Early cross just means instead of the ball being played in taking a more direct line almost coming from behind the forwards it tends to fly more towards the goal and bend in making it easier to head.
Skilled dribbling i find it just easier to turn and keep the ball at my players feet. Usefull if you play upfront/CAM where defenders will be pressuring you alot.
Most of the traits are pretty specific to certain types of players.|||Early cross - I think it might have helped me set up my first goal from a corner last night then.
Skilled dribbling - I did see a slight improvement, just was wondering if there was somthing specific button related etc that made it even better
Thanks for the response.|||

Probably makes skill moves more effective although i've never really used them past getting them done for my VP. 6 in a game was a pain.|||Isn't skilled dribbling when you hold LT and RT together before releasing LT and moving direction to burst into space|||*SIGH* Skileld Dribbling enables the Use of L2+R2 which is a dribbling manouvre which keeps the ball close to your body.
Early cross means when you hold in L1 and do the 3 types of crosses ir will be better.|||

This, but early cross trait allows your cross to be just as accurate when driven in early, as it does within the normal crossing zone. i.e the box
|||Thanks I'll give the skilled dribbling a go tonight then.|||Cheers, this worked.|||Can i assume i use the Left & Right triggers together for the skilled dribbling trait on Xbox?
