Passing Can Be Integral To Winning A FIFA 11 PS3 Online 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.

We will start with passing as with real life passing is integral to winning matches. As I mentioned there are numerous ways to pass the ball, the basic short pass comprising of pressing the X button and holding the LS (Left Analogue Stick) in the direction you want the ball to be passed. The longer you hold the X button the harder the pass will be. Select the training mode in FIFA 11 by pressing the select button and practice short passing between your players.

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.

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 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
