A lot of people that have watched some of my videos have asked about my controller setting and what’s the best setup to give you the competitive edge in FIFA 13. So I put together this video to show you the controller settings I use that give me the most control I can get but still be competitive at the highest level of FIFA.

If you finish in style you’re going to want to celebrate in style. Now you can learn the controls to all the FIFA 13 Celebrations and do just that.
I don’t know about you but I do the same celebration every single time I score because I invariably waggle the stick and bash the buttons in the same seemingly random pattern.
The result is the same slide across the pitch on my knees which was probably good the first time I saw it. After the hundredth time though it becomes a bit mundane and each time I do it I’m cursing the fact that once again I forgot to try something different.
This week Matt Cuttle and Darren Cross give us their FIFA 13 First Touch Control tips to help you cope and even benefit from your players first touch in FIFA 13.
First Touch Control was a new feature introduced to FIFA 13 and as well as bringing more realistic gameplay also brought an element of unpredictability to the game.
Things like rain, snow, speed of pass, speed and direction of the receiver’s run, player’s ball control all contribute to the success of your first touch but there are some things you can do to mitigate the bad touches and even work the first touch in your favour.
Sometimes a couple of yards of space is all you need in FIFA 13 to create a goal scoring chance or gain the upper hand on your opponent but against containing defenders sometimes a couple of yards of space isn’t that easy to come by. Darren Cross from Match magazine comes to The Boot Room again, this time to show us how he loses markers in FIFA 13 and creates that all important space on the pitch.
In this installment we feature the Top Pace Belgium Abuse Players in FIFA 13. It’s separated into 3 groups of Gold, Silver, and Bronze players and each group is a mix of Belgian nationals and non-Belgians playing in the Jupiler League.
Match Magazine’s Darren Cross talks FIFA 13 tactics once again with Matt Cuttle in another episode of The Boot Room.
This time it’s all about taking your thumb off the buttons and using the right thumbstick.
The right thumbstick is mainly associated with skills but when used without the left trigger can turn your first touch into a stroke of genius.
Using the left thumbstick can take you past defenders, create time and space and also be used to beat goalkeepers.
Check out the FIFA 13 Tactics video to find out how and when to use it.
Want a cheaper, faster way to put together a fast, effective team? Try players from the Saudi League. Because it’s a relatively unknown and unpopular league (FIFA13 is the first time it’s appeared in the game), decent players can be found for cheap.

When I first got my hands on the FIFA 13 guide I was told that it would be updated throughout the year. It makes sense, the game was relatively new when the first edition of the guide was released and gameplay online evolves all the time and new techniques (and I hate to say it, glitches) appear all the time.
Obviously the fundamentals of FIFA 13 are going to remain the same but just like in any game or sport it’s the players that adapt and fine tune their game that will dominate online in the long term.
Yesterday Joey dropped me an e-mail to tell me he’d just released the 2nd edition of his successful guide and added some great resources.
In Joey’s own words:
Ever bought a player that you thought was going to be great based on their overall (OVR) FUT rating but turned out to be a flop on the pitch? We all know that FUT’s overall rating can be a bit misleading at times so who are really the best players in FIFA 13 Ultimate Team?
Use the Z Rating to find out!
I found the overall rating system FIFA used was a little misleading sometimes, and that players were “praised” for having a high attribute rating for things that weren’t important for their position. This made it difficult to find the true best players in FIFA 13 Ultimate Team.
EA have announced that they’ve scrapped their online pass. Going forward you’ll no longer need to use the extra code to play your games online. But what else have they got in store?
