########################

Q: I need Free Kick Help.

A. Watch the tutorial on free kicks at our resource page. Go to the arena and practice from three distances: short near the box, middle of the field around 30 yards, and long distance around 40. Take kicks with C. Ronaldo as well as others like Van Persie, Dani Alves or others to get a good overall feel. Rinse then repeat.

Q: I need Penalty Kick Help.

A. As always, start off with the penalty kicks tutorial first. Remember that the harder the shot is, the less control you have order it. I almost always shoot low in the corners with less than 1/2 power bar. I score about 70 to 80% of the time and it works.

Q: I need help with Pro Passing.

A:  Yea. No doubt. I played with it for a couple games but got lazy and went back to assisted. One big tip is to play a practice match with 9 players against 11 then use pro passing. It will be easier when playing a regular game due to the man down.

Q: My Opponent Quit. Do I Still Get the Win?

A. 9 times out of 10. Yes. It depends on what time your opponent quits. You can quit within the 1st 10 minutes of a match and not suffer a loss.

Q: How Do I Win Headers?

A: As for headers…. use jockey and move the player around with the left stick. concentrate more on the player your using to get a better position for the header. Try in practice mode. Tap the header button as well to control the power. If you’re close, then you don’t really need that much to score. If you’re defending, hold the header button down to clear the ball out.

How can you lay off the ball to the free-kick taker

For Xbox 360 you hold down Left Trigger then tap A and the second taker kicks the ball away from both freekick takers and someone always comes on your team running up to it and smash it towards goal.

Please, just want to ask, why it is so difficult to feint using shoot and pass button or cross and pass button? I always try it but my player will pass the ball before i even think of pressing the shoot button. At times when i press both buttons simultaneously it will work.

Hi .. How do you keep your players up to the middlefield?

Reply

HASAN IQBAL October 20, 2011

hi i dont really get what you mean but if you mean the players work rate and keeping them in the midfield you can go to 1) team manegment 2) click on edit formation 3) click on the player or i think you press triangle ( y on xbox) and there you can edit they work rate

Im sorry if this is not what you were asking but its a nice way to keep your teams morale and energy levels high

I hope fifa 12 is improved, but here are my annoyances with fifa 11:

1) I hate how 90% of the on-line players choose barca, Real Madrid or Chelsea knowing full well that they have an unfair advantage over the other teams. (if playing against these teams my players seem slower, have less passing skills, defenders freeze on through balls and generally make more mistakes)

I’m not sure if the unfair advantage with these teams or the fact that players exploit it annoys me more, but either way, it is so boring to always play against one of these 3 teams.

2) The fact that teams score within minutes of me scoring.

3) I think what annoys me the most though is that I Fifa 11 has this strange, random, advantage glitch. I’ll play one match and everything is smooth and flowing nicely, then have a rematch with the same teams and the second game is horrible; passes missing their targets, players slow and just overall sloppy game play. Why is this?

4) Lastly, I hate pathetic, immature, low-life quitters. Yes, I do quit, but only if the game is laggy and impossible to play. Other than that, people should learn to lose with dignity, afterall, it is only a game and losing is a part of all games.

I struggle with keeping a clean sheet. Even if I have been dominating the entire game, my opponent will eventually score in the 88-90th minutes (or sometimes straight after I have scored, Manchester United, I’m looking your way). It can be extremely frustrating, particularly for someone that places clean sheets at the highest of their FIFA lists. What should I do? Is it a flaw in my defensive abilities?

Thanks.

I simply wished to thank you very much once again. I am not sure what I would’ve accomplished in the absence of these ways shown by you about my field. It had become the difficult matter for me personally, nevertheless looking at a expert style you solved it forced me to cry with fulfillment. I am just happier for this support and in addition wish you comprehend what an amazing job you happen to be accomplishing educating people with the aid of your blog post. I am sure you haven’t got to know any of us.

I would like to know how to get my manager mode players to grow skills like playmaker or complete defender? I have noticed players in other teams grow quickly from having no skills to having 5 skills by season’s end. How do I get the players to develop their skills? Is it relative to their performance rating?

Keep getting dispossesed or autotackled . I cant make space or find space against high pressure online. They ram me off the ball no foul . The strikers are great tacklers I see. I use 3 star teams so skill moves arent always available and thats not my play style. Basiclly I cant keep posession and quick passing never works teammates dont come to the ball im stuck I fell from d5 all the way to 8 my confidence in fifa 12 is shot

First of all you doing an awesome job. I hope to read through this forum soon and pick up some tips. I am addicted to FIFA in particulare FUT but I find that there are too many skilled players out there. I haven’t got time to play FIFA 24/7 but would like to improve. I find the opposition is able to defend and tackle me before I can even move. The opposition is very fast at doing this. How can I defend and close in on players quickly? I do have other problems with passing and dribbling but I will read the forum first to see if anyone else has raised these issues. Thanks
