Mastering Passing Is Important To Winning A FIFA 11 PS3 Tournaments

Winning a FIFA 11 PS3 Tournament will be a tough ask but it is an achievable feat. No matter what level of player you are currently, to stand any chance of success you need to ensure you can perform the basics well. The basics being passing, shooting and tackling. Sounds simple doesn't it and in all honesty it is. Most professional football managers will tell you that the beautiful game is easy and that to succeed you need to do the basics well.

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 long pass in FIFA 11 can be used to quickly counter attack your opposition, this is particularly effective if you have fast strikers, the long pass can be performed by holding the O button and again holding the LS in the direction you wish to play the ball. This is also the way to switch the play however you need to hold the LS up or down depending on your position. The long pass is slightly harder to master and again I would advise practicing this on the training pitch.

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.

One-two passes can be helpful to create space for your players, hold the L1 button whilst you play the pass and the passer will make a forward run (hopefully into space) to return the ball to him simply press X again. If your in an advanced position you could try playing a through pass instead of a short pass to release the player behind your oppositions defence.

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

Winning a FIFA 11 PS3 tournament wont be easy but ensuring you keep the ball will be half the battle. Don't be afraid to keep the ball if there is no good pass forward on and don't be afraid to use the keeper make the opposition work to get the ball back and when they get out of position exploit them.
