FIFA 16: 10 Essential Tips All New Players Need

6. Learn The New Attacking Moves

FIFA 16€™s new dribble control system is a great addition. It gives a user the freedom to drive forward at the oppositions€™ defence and genuinely out think them (whether that is a virtual opponent or your best mate) and it really gives the game a more strategic element. You can now decide when your player decides to touch the ball and therefore fake a left or right movement that will throw your opponent off balance and allow you to dance round them in true Lionel Messi (who developed the feature using motion capture) fashion. If you manage to get the ball out wide and have your inside forward cutting inside against your oppositions€™ left or right back then the move can be a devastating way of leaving the defender for dust and getting a cross in or going for goal. To do this move, simply press and hold the L1/LB button on your controller. Once pressed, the player with possession of the ball will momentarily step away from it to create a bit of space. From there, by flicking the left analog in different angles, the player in possession of the ball will either shift his body in that particular direction or twist his ankle in the hopes of tricking the defender. If timed correctly, it can easily misdirect the defender into going one way while the player with the ball goes the other.
