5 annoying methods that FIFA gamers use

Let’s face it, gaming can be incredibly frustrating at times more so if the game in question is FIFA, which is basically a virtual game of football, which itself can get very intense in real life. One of the root causes of annoyance on FIFA is the highly irritating tactics gamers use to squirm out of tight spots when things aren’t going their way.Not only do these tactics cause your blood pressure to soar, but also makes you crave for a game like Call of Duty, where solace can be achieved by shooting at something. With that in mind let’s take a look at 5 annoying methods that FIFA gamers use.

#1 Quitting

I’m sure all of you know the age old saying that goes ‘If at first you don’t succeed try, try, try again’. However a lot of FIFA gamers almost always never pay heed to those words of wisdom and simply quit the game when things are going south for them. Not only is this practice highly annoying, but also extremely childish.

I mean come on quitting a game when losing isn’t going to make you a better player. What it does make you is a sore loser! Always remember winners never quit, and quitters never win. So don’t quit, and just kick on. You’re sure to become a better FIFA gamer by staying in the game.

#2 Back passing when losing

This highly irritating tactic is unfortunately still deployed by many FIFA gamers. When things aren’t going their way they simply pass the ball to their back four, who in turn shuffle the ball amongst each other just to deprive their opponents of possession.

Not only is this tactic extremely classless, but also reflects badly on the gamer who’s deploying it as it shows his incompetent nature. However Karma often catches up with such losers, and quite often a misplaced pass at the back falls directly into the path of the long-suffering opponent, who in turn scores a goal.

#3 Parking the bus

There’s a special place in hell for gamers who park the bus during FIFA. This tactic, often used by gamers who command a narrow lead, is not only highly frustrating to the opposition, but also extremely unprofessional. FIFA is a game that’s supposed to be thrilling and competitive, and parking the bus simply drains the game of all its beauty.

Even real world tacticians like Jose Mourinho have been heavily criticized for using this highly disliked tactic. Remember parking the bus may win you games on FIFA, but it certainly wouldn’t win you plaudits from fellow gamers.

#4 Running with the ball from Kick Off

Another annoying tactic in use is gamers running with the ball on FIFA as soon as the starting whistle is blown. Maintaining possession due to playing superiorly is one thing, but keeping possessing by holding on to the ball from kick-off just to deprive your opponent from seeing much of the ball is quite another.

Just running aimlessly with the ball without any intention of scoring is just a pure waste of precious FIFA minutes. I mean this is football not Chicken Run. What the use of playing the game if there’s no art in your style of play?

#5 Pausing

Some players pause an online game of FIFA for a genuine reason, but a lot of others simply pause the game for the maximum amount of time when their team is about to concede a goal just so that the opposition player loses his playing rhythm.

This technique, like many others on this list, is extremely unprofessional and ruins the whole gaming mood. Gamers who engage in pausing are extremely uncool, and should be avoided in the future. Nothing’s worse than playing against an unethical opponent.
