i've read the manual back to front countless times but i'm still ****!

Whatever i do, i cant seem to do anything other than the basic pass, lob, through ball and shoot when playing games.

I just cant get my head around the moves when playing at game speed.
Naturally, when i play online against someone thats supposidly the same level as me.... i get spanked!!

Great game but i just can play it

anyone wanna buy a day old FIFA10?!

PS, yes i do have it set to basic level too!

[Guns_LotsOfGuns]

Edited the title, the swear filter is there for a reason, please dont circumvent it

[pilgrimchris]

I wouldn't worry so much about the special moves etc (at least at first). Focus on lots of short passes, keeping possession and moving the ball around. Don't overuse the sprint button. Btw I've not played 10 yet but survived ok for a year on 09 using this approach (I'm not that good but can win at world class when I'm in form - online games tend to be a random though)

[DarthyBaby]

To be honest i dont touch online, just play the cpu all the time, what you wanna do is stick it on the easiest level and work your way up, I know its frustrating at times but pays to stick with it. Would'nt worry about trying to pull off tricks etc I find them pretty useless trying to get past people etc

[Olimite]

Keep the passing going. Aim for possession more than anything. Use 1-2's (LB + <pass> on the 360) to get round players. It might take a while but you'll get there.

[rikki2ks]

I've never used tricks on FIFA / Pro Evo and alsway done pretty well. Just keep the ball and use the channels

[LJx]

yeah I am not that great, i play on semi-pro skill level and sometimes don't even win, on pro I never seem to get scoring chances or good possesion. I think their is not much point in special moves until you have mastered the basics. I have still won 3 games online even with that skill level

[Buttons76]

thanks for replies people.

Ive been playing whilst the replies have been coming in.

One problem i definately have is holding the sprint button all the time. I seem to hold it without even meaning to!

Use 1-2's (LB + <pass> on the 360) to get round players

nope, couldnt get that to work!

I'm just gonna keep playing on easy level and see what happens but it is very frustrating..... i mean how realistic is Shrewsbury Town being 4-0 up at half time against Real Madrid?!!??

[DrWise]

Learn how to control
defence then go to midfield than concentrate on scoring
do practice match in the arena dude it will work man, add my GT we ave a few friendlys

[ollieovcity]

Send me a FR to ollieovcity i'm just getting to grips with this after not playing 09 for a few months so i'm very rusty and easy to beat! anyone else is welcome to add me as well if they fancy practising shooting against a very static defence.

[pault2007]

My tips would be to:

- Do short passes/hold the ball up in the middle of the pitch/in the opposition's half of the pitch to minimise the chances of you losing possession.

- Use pace control (left thumb button) to slow yourself down and then, when the opposition player approaches, suddenly sprint (right thumb button) and go past him.

- Barge into people to get the ball back, as you're less likely to be booked than with a slide tackle.

- Try and dummy people with the right button.

- When you receive the ball, use the left thumb button straight away to trap the ball and gain control.

use finesses shot when shooting

THis.

I was spanked by some really good players when I first started playing Fifa 09 and rarely do you see them use the skills. Pass and move.

Cool. I'll be on just now to try this game out and tomorrow after the old firm game.

[Goooner]

Add me if you like, I'm pretty rubbish too

Even managed to somehow lose a game last night, despite being a goal up and the other guy then getting two players sent off

[simon147]

Can i add my name to the hall of rubbish as well . Played about 5 online games last night and only won 1. Even then i was 2-1 down with 8 minutes to go and the other guy lost connection so I won the game

[Sega Mega Dave]

I used to be pretty good on Fifa 09 and win more than i lose but not played it for about 8 months so every ranked game ive played so far ive lost so feel free add me to the hall of shame...

[Noggleboggleman]

The best advice I can give is to remember that you don't need to go forward all of the time. Pass backwards and sideways until you see a gap to pass it forward. It usually takes time to build up to a shot. Think of Ajax in the 90s.

[thefamoushoops]

Add me to the hall of shame.

Played 7 won 1 lost 6.

[Basil Plumley]

Add me to - played 3 lost 3.

I haven't scored from a free kick yet but I've got one to hit the cross bar.

Have you tried only using half or quarter of the power bar?

Also, I think you can put spin on the ball by rotating the left stick as you make contact with the ball?

B button you mean? Might give that a try

[pault2007]

I'm officially rubbish at the game.

From online ranked matches, I've won 5 and lost 19 with no draws.

I've got a streak of -15, which I guess means I've lost my last 15 games?

[toon83]
