61 FIFA 13 Celebrations And How To Perform Them

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.

FIFA 13 First Touch Control Tips And Tricks

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.

How To Lose Your Marker in FIFA 13

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.

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.

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.

Premier FIFA 13 Guide Evolved: 2nd Edition – Bigger And Better!

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.

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.
