Mastering Passing Can Be Integral To Winning A FIFA 11 PS3 Tournaments

A FIFA 11 PS3 tournament will be a tough thing to win with many players devoting vast lengths of time to improving at the game. The best place to start to develop your own skill is in the FIFA 11 training pitch. To win, you need to get very good at the basics; What are the basics? Well passing, shooting and tackling. This may sound very elementary but with FIFA 11 there are a number of ways in which you can perform all of the basics, for example with passing you can pass short, pass long, switch the play, play a one two, etc.

One of part of the game that is integral to everything is passing and in FIFA this is no different. There are several types of pass that you will need to master in order to beat the better players in online tournaments. The most basic of all the moves is the short pass which can be accomplished by the depressing of the X button and holding the Left analogue stick in the direction you wish the ball to be played. The game also takes into consideration the length you hold down the X button too so depending on the distance away a team mate is should determine how long you hold the X button for.

The next pass to learn is the long pass, this will allow you to bypass opposition players and hopefully create goalscoring opportunities. To play the long pass press and hold the O button, the longer you hold the O button the further your long pass will go. A better use of the long pass however is to use it to switch the play, whilst it can be used to counter attack a better way to do so will be disclosed further on.

One way to open up your opposition is to play a through ball, this can be done by pressing and holding the triangle button. Again the longer the button is held the harder the ball will be played. Timing of the pass is crucial to playing a successful through ball, make sure you practice in the arena to ensure you always spot your strikers making offensive runs.

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 tip if you want to win a FIFA 11 PS3 tournament is to practice. If you can perform the basics well you stand a good chance of beating any player. Also do not be afraid to keep the ball and make your opponent work to retain possession, if he's following the ball there is a good chance he is leaving himself vulnerable, locate where he is weakest and use your passing skills to attack
