*** Official FIFA 11 Thread ***

rainbow is back forward forward, alternative rainbow is what you're probably doing which is back, hold forward then flick forward again, timing is important else it will hit your back/bum.
 
So yeah the sunday afternoon class of online players isnt as fun as the 3am crowd, had a guy who thought it'd be fun to pick chelsea and iv reverted to turn all of those games to FA cup games so I was burton albion (again) he quit in the 85th min with me 1-0 up!!! I laughed and then cried a little as the goal was a real l2 well worked one...

And just for fun this is the first time iv made the tackle the keeper goal work http://www.easports.com/media/play/video/42897821 :D worth having an average game for it too...
 
Someone posted this on fifa forums found it pretty funny

I almost beat Barcelona online with stockport. Lost 3-2.

1 on 1 is so boring now. Everyone just picks either Madrid or Barcelona.

To be honest no diffence to the last 5 FIFA's I've played. Man U are who I've played most in this one, add Inter and Chelsea to the mix and it's just like 08, 09, 10 etc

Play unranked, you'll find a lot don't choose top teams. What I am finding anyway.
 
Andy, following on from last night, any tips for playing better?

I seem to have been so unlucky in that second game, I mean that second goal you scored straight after I equalised, WTF? Also when your keeper saved it, pushed it out and it went through my attacker on the edge of the box, that is what sent me over the edge, why it didn't switch to him is beyond me.

Also you just brushed passed everyone of my players with ease, how were you controlling the ball so easily, jinking left and right etc? Are they skill moves?
 
The first thing you need to lean is the pass and run button. On my controls it's LB+Pass. When your players passes he will make a run forward giving you a lot more attacking options, afetr a while you'll get so used to pressing the button you'll probably do it with every player, note that doing it with your centerbacks is not wise :D

I remember the ball going through your attackers legs, It was quite amusing :P I can only imagine you had the button pressed to dummy the ball?

Everton are a very physical team so that's why you probably found it hard, Saha and especially Yakubu are very strong so I can usually fend defenders off from getting the ball. I think this is more important than pace nowadays.

I don't use skills, the best skills so you can do is not press run fast and go round players just using close control, I like this in FIFA 11, *a lot easier taking players on without using skills.
 
Anyone seem to get some sort of random freeze/disconnect at the end of matches? Just had it happen about 4/5 times in a row - couple of times I know the other dude d/c cos he was losing, but I was drawing the last game and it was about to go to penalties and it just froze again...after asking the other guy what happened he said it happens a lot, doesnt know why...

Agreed - tbh I think its now counter-intuitive to use skills to get past people as when it doesnt work you are in a worse position to reclaim the ball (normally you are on the floor or stumbling) but at least with skilled dribbling if the ball does go loose you can normal attempt to reclaim it or at least tackle the opponent...

I didn't even get the chance to dummy, just went straight through him.

Sounds like FIFA decided the ball was going too fast to be controlled and because of the 'skill' of the player instead of just running into it, he avoided it...

LB is my close control, also shielding the ball using RT is quite good for waiting for a player to make a move.

There should be plenty of guides out there mate, have a read then just practise.

At least you're trying to improve unlike most who get thrashed and just instantly blame the game being crap rather than trying to improve themselves.

Is there any way of saving team selections? It always reverts to default, even if custom formations and tactics are loaded. (for online)

Does anyone know how to do this? Changing players around in edit mode doesn't affect online teams. Obviously they don't want cheating, but all i want are a different starting 11 :(
