I know the skills trainer might seem like an unbelievably obvious place to start your quest to the top, but forget the stale 'move your player into the square' exercises and get yourself stuck into Gauntlet Mode. The best thing about it is that it's a challenge for every player, regardless of experience. The game gives you a set of lives and will set you challenge after challenge, with special bonus and boss rounds to ramp up the challenge. You progress as far as your skill (and a pinch of luck) can carry you. Sounds easy, huh? Well, EA claim that while millions have tried the mode, only 200 gamers have conquered all 40 levels. It's the perfect way to practice while you're getting massively addicted to a whole new game mode you may not have thought about before.
