Passing Is Integral To Winning A FIFA 11 PS3 Online 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 next pass to master is the long pass and can be used to attack your opponent quickly, however this is not as effective as the lobbed through pass which we will discuss later. For now master the long pass to increase your range of passing skills. To play a long pass again we hold the LS button in the direction we wish the ball to be played however this time we hold the O button. The long pass is most effective when used to play cross field balls so I would suggest practicing switching the ball in a training match as it can be difficult to master.

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.

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
