Passing Can Be Important 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.

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 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.

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.

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.

In FIFA you should make sure that you are able to play every pass without out even contemplating it, as you would expect you will need to practice a little and the best place for this is in the training arena. Once you are confident of having mastered all types of passing take your skills to online tournaments. Having a good range of passing ensures that you become as unpredictable as possible giving you the best chance to succeed

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.
