Passing Is Integral To Winning A FIFA 11 PS3 Online Tournament

To win a FIFA 11 PS3 tournament you need to master the basics; shooting, tackling and passing. The most important of all being passing. In FIFA there are various ways in which you can pass the ball and to beat the better the players you need to be able to perform all in the blink of an eye. Doing so will give you a much better chance of winning a tournament online or live.

The easiest pass to play is the short pass which can be achieved by pressing and holding the X button and the Left stick in the direction in which you wish the ball to be played. The longer the X button is held the harder the pass will be played. The practice mode provided in FIFA is an excellent place to learn to play the short pass between team mates.

The next pass to master is the long pass and can be used to attack your opponent quickly, however this is not as effective as the lobbed through pass which we will discuss later. For now master the long pass to increase your range of passing skills. To play a long pass again we hold the LS button in the direction we wish the ball to be played however this time we hold the O button. The long pass is most effective when used to play cross field balls so I would suggest practicing switching the ball in a training match as it can be difficult to master.

The through ball is one of the most decisive and easiest (once mastered) ways to break through your opposition. The through ball can be performed by pressing the triangle button again the length you hold down the button will decide how hard the through ball is played. A through ball played with the correct weight can ensure your striker will always get on the end of it.

Once through balls have been mastered you should look to start to play one-twos, this type of pass creates more off the ball runs from your players and as such makes them difficult to mark and potentially get into more goalscoring positions. To play a one-two hold the L1 button whilst playing a normal pass, the passer will then make a forward run. When the passer has found space play the ball back to him by performing a simple pass again, or if in an advanced position you could play the a through ball instead.

The next level to the one-two is to play a lobbed through ball instead of the normal pass or through ball. This can be done by holding the R1 button whilst playing a through ball, instead of playing the ball along the ground to the player the ball will be lobbed into his pass for him to run onto. This is by far the best way in FIFA to create goalscoring opportunities, master this pass and you will have the beating of most online players.

Make sure that you can perform every pass in the training mode and then advance to playing against the AI, once you can perform every pass without thinking of what to press move onto online games, playing real life people, always vary your play and never become repetitive. A good player is a player who can attack with in a variety of ways

The best tips to win a FIFA 11 PS3 tournament is to practice, practice, practice and ensure you can perform the basics well, in reality a team that can do the basics will often defeat a team who perform a vast array of party tricks. Barcelona are a prime example despite every player being able to perform every ball skill under the sun, they keep it simple and pass the ball. In FIFA 11 the game is the same keep the ball and wait for your opponent to get out of position and vulnerable.
