It's Finally Time To Learn More About FIFA 11 Tournaments Online

Crossing is one of the most frequently used methods to score a goal in FIFA 11. It is useful to know how to defend these crosses properly, especially when playing in the online arena because competition is stiffer there. Crosses can come from the flanks or from corner kicks. There is no 100 percent fool-proof way to defend against corners and crosses, but there are ways in which you can make it more difficult for the opposition to score in these circumstances. Let us tell you more on FIFA 11 tournaments online.

One method which is pretty effective is to make sure that the crossing player in the opposite team is closely marked by one of your players. When a player is being manned very closely, it becomes harder for them to execute an accurate cross and this gives you a better chance of getting your head to the ball and clearing it from danger.

You can also try and place a player where the ball is going to land and try to make sure that the player clears the cross. To do this, you will want to take control of a player in the box. When the ball is crossed from the flanks, you should be on the lookout for where there is an "X" marked on the field. Where an "X" is marked is where you should be moving the player you are controlling and you should then press the shoot button, so that your player clears the ball away to safety.

Another way, in which you can defend a cross that is already coming in, is by taking control of one of the players inside the danger area. You should then be on the lookout for an "X" sign which will be placed on the field indicating where the ball will land. You should move towards this sign and then when the ball is about to land, press the shoot button so that the defender clears the ball.

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.

Another method of defending a cross ball is by taking control of a player in the 18 yard area and then when the ball is being crossed by the opposition player you should be on the lookout for an "X" mark on the pitch. This should indicate where the ball is going to hit the ground. You should be in close proximity to this mark and when the ball is about to land there, you should be prepared to clear it away by using the shoot button.

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."

The tip for Internet play is to press the shoot button, when the pointer is at around the yellow, orange and red area on the right hand side of the screen. It is important to realize that this area is for when the indicator is moving at the normal speed for online play. As for the "slow" moving indicator, you will need to press the button slightly later so as to offset this moving speed indicator.
