How do I implement the first touch system just like in Fifa or Pes

i have been working on a soccer game for the past several months. I have managed to set up a decent A. I. I am now tweaking the A. I so that it looks better and realistic. One of the area I would want to tweak is what happens when the player receives the ball. Currently the ball stops dead at the player's feet. I would want it to be like the player takes note of how much speed the ball is travelling with and the player decides on how much force he should use so that the ball stops in front of him. I know depending on the player's ball control states I can use it to decide a certain range of power the player can use (players with less accuracy have a greater range increasing there chances of making errors). I haven't tried it yet so any ideas on how to do this will be greatly appreciated.
