8 FIFA 14 tricks that will make you a Pro

FIFA has been that kind of a game where you just don’t play it alone anymore. It has become more like a contest, especially when among friends, to show them your pedigree, and how cool of a professional player you are. If it is not, well then it should be. I’ve been an avid FIFA player for quite a while now, however I mostly play it offline, either alone or mostly with pals. In the quest of being a better player, I’ve come across many tricks and tips that certainly helped my gameplay altogether, making my moves unpredictable, thus unleashing the ultimate pwnage.Here are 10 tricks that will definitely help you out in FIFA, especially if you have just picked up the game:

#1 Chipped-through ball pass

This is not really atrick that people dont know about. But, until and unless you perfect the pass, it will barely serve your purpose.

Chipped-through ball pass which is somewhat similar to the usualLob Pass is generally great for counter-attacks, especially if the team has wide-attacking, pacey wingers to complement the techniquePulling off an accuratethrough ball is tougher than what it looks like.To do a chipped-through ball, all you have to do is press the player modifier/changebutton and the through ball button.This helpsduring counter-attacks when the opposition team is unsettled.

A well though-out pass could lead to a goal for you,but if you fail to perfect the time, power, placement and speed, it is a very hard-nut to crack. Just focus on the timing and power, and this technique will win you championships.It is basically a high risk, high reward pass.

#2 Finesse Shot

A Finesse shot is my favourite way to score a goal. Why, you ask? Because, it is the most elegant and subtle way to score one!

When used, the shot sacrifices its power from projection for better placement of the ball, allowing you to launch a delicate curling effort that curves the ball out wide enough to keep from the keepers reach, but not so wide that you squander your chance.

It is the perfect move that every pro should have up hissleeves, and is a must use if the goalkeeper chooses to approach you.

To score with a finesse shot, use the Finesse shot modifier button with your usual shooting regime.

Rabona is a method of kicking the ball in such a way that the leg you use to kick iswrapped around the back of the other leg, effectively with one's legs crossed. Sounds complicated? I know it does.

#4 Roulette

A roulette will require you to use a player with 3-stars in skills. Roulette, or also known as the Marseille Turn is a specialised dribbling skill which is said to been created by Danish legend Michael Laudrup. You can use it by pressing either Right Stick Down, Right Stick Left, Right Stick Up and Right Stick Right, or Right Stick Down, Right Stick Right, Right Stick Up and Right Stick Left.

This move is most useful when the opposition player approaches your attacker with full speed.

A variation of the Marseille turn or the Roulette, the McGeady Spin is a skill that could only be done using players with five star skill ratings. The move is based on Everton player Aiden McGeady’s trick who is himself a two-footed players, and is known for his tricks with the ball.
