Mastering Passing Is Integral To Winning A FIFA 11 PS3 Tournaments

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 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.

A further improvement to this is to play a one-two but instead of a through ball you can play a lobbed through ball, bypassing any opponents who are in the line of your 2nd passer and your player making a run. To do this hold the R1 button whilst performing a through ball. This piece of play is by far the hardest passing skills to develop however once you do you will find yourself breaking open even the best FIFA 11 PS3 tournament player.

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

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
