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.
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.
Matt And Darren are back in their second episode of The Boot Room and this week their focusing on FIFA 13 formations and the Fake Shot skill move.
In this episode Darren takes an objective look at Matt's FIFA 13 skills and recommends choosing a formation that you know well and are comfortable with. He share's tips on how to make your defence less vunerable and emphasises the importance of keeping your team's shape and staying goal side to slow down your opponent's attack.
There's a new FIFA tutorial series on the block folks and it's one we're pretty excited about.
The Boot Room, a new series on EAVision hosted by Matt Cuttle and Match Magazine's Darren Cross promises a breakdown of FIFA tips and tutorials to help us improve our game each week.
In Matt's own words The Boot Room is:
"A weekly football show that takes an in depth look at the tricks and tactics available to make you a better FIFA 13 player."
