One area where many people who play FIFA 11 may have problems in, is dealing with aerial balls that come from the flanks. This is a very popular way to score, both online and offline against the PC. If you want to compete successfully in online FIFA 11 tournament games then you should be competent in how to defend these types of set plays. Below, we are going to give you some more information on FIFA 11 tournaments online.
One way I like to stop the team I am playing against from whipping in dangerous balls is by closely manning the player in the wide areas who is about to cross. By sticking with him, you will make it less comfortable for him to cross and as a result his crosses will be less accurate. This increases the likelihood of your players getting their heads to the ball first and clearing it away.
Another way I like to prevent crosses coming in from the wide areas is by quickly fouling. This is useful when the opposite team has just broken away and you are short of numbers at the back. Fouling will give you time to get some reinforcements at the back, although you should be prepared to be penalized with a yellow card.
Another way in which you can defend from crosses is by causing a foul. We personally like to use this method when the opposition team is hitting my team on the break and not stopping the opposition player from playing the ball may result in a goal.
Another situation you may have to face when you playing in a tournament is the dreaded penalty shoot-out. You should know that there is a time lag between when you press the button and when you get a response from the system when playing online. In other words, we can safely say that there is a difference between taking penalty kicks in offline mode compared to taking penalty kicks in online mode.
In FIFA 11, there is a moving indicator where you need to time your pressing of the shoot button so as to get the maximum amount of accuracy. The pointer should land in the green zone so that you can take the best penalty possible.
This will take some practice though, but off course you must practice in Internet mode. You should also make sure that the indicator is set to move on the "normal" setting. Where you press the button will be affected if you indicator movement settings are on "slow."
Online mode in FIFA is one of the best features in the game, because you have the chance to take on people from every corner of the globe. If you do not have anyone to play the game with, then this is the perfect solution for you.
