Hi all
I'm getting more and more into this game now and I'm very much enjoying it. I think the control and physics is spot on, and this year FIFA finally trumps Pro Evo.
Anyway there's a lot to this game and I thought we could have a thread explaining the technical control aspects and how to get the most out of the game, specifically with the XBox 360 controller:
Things I know (applies to how I've got mine set up, not sure if it's the standard one):
- hold right trigger to jostle for position when the ball is in the air to get more chance of winning a header
- hold right trigger when on the ball to walk slowly and have control of the ball
- waggle the right analogue stick to do tricks - can't be more specific, sorry!
- when running nudging the right stick knocks the ball on allowing you to run around a defender
- when taking a set piece pressing the right analogue stick brings up some strange options with triangles in the top right hand corner
- left button to select player
- right button to run
- left trigger - doesn't seem to do anything
- pressing shoot or cross then quickly pressing the pass button makes the player feign the action (scored a great goal like this the other day
)
Things I don't know (perhaps someone could fill in)
- how to hit a low powerful shot, as whenever the power bar goes to the top the player seems to blast it over
- how to hit a low driven corner
- how to cross without it looking like you've just tried to cross a beach ball, i.e. fast powerful ball across the face
- how to select the goalkeeper for one-on-one situations
- how to actually do a normal tackle!! In previous FIFAs this was the shoot button (button X in my setup) but in this one it seems to be the pass button? But then I can't tell if that's not just the game doing it for me?
- how to dive or commit a terrible professional foul deliberately i.e. barge off the ball, elbow etc
- how to make it look like you're going to shoot one way but actually shoot the other
- if there's a way to scoop the ball high over a short distance e.g. for a through ball, Karel Poborsky style!
- how to select a receiver for a layoff for an indirect free kick
- how to make players not selected pressurise the ball holder as per FIFA 200X (can't remember which)
- how to change the way the wall behaves for defending free kicks
Hopefully if there are any other cheeky secrets we can have a log of them here!
As you can see there's a lot I don't know and I'm hoping some of you experts can fill it in.
