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.

One of the best balls for creating one-on-one chances is the through ball, this can be played by pressing the triangle button. Again holding the button for increasing amounts of time increases the power with which the pass is played. 1-on-1's can be tricky to master as balls need to be played in time with the run o a team mate again I suggest practicing on the training pitch to become familiar with off the ball runs and being able to spot them.

The next type of pass is the one-two, holding the L1 button whilst playing a pass will make the passer make a forward run, when the receiving player has the ball press the pass button again and the ball will be returned to the original passer, this time however he may find himself in more space. An improvement on the one-two is instead of pressing the pass button, in advanced areas you can instead play a through ball, the run of the original passer means that the opposition will find him difficult to mark.

But by far the best way in FIFA to create goalscoring opportunities is to play the one-two with a lobbed through ball. To do this hold L1 and press X to make the initial pass, the passer will then make a forward run. As the player gets inline with the oppositions defence simply hold R1 and press and hold the triangle button to acquire the right amount of power on the pass to successfully clear the defence and dribble your attacker to the goal for shot.

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.
