Passing Can Be Integral To Winning A FIFA 11 PS3 Tournament

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 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 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.

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

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.
