Thanks! This post is doing way better than expected! Please keep up the support

Sticky??? Probably not, needs way more work but maybe one day!!!

Regular Gameplay


  • Don't be sprint crazy!!! Only sprint when you have the open area to.
  • Posses the ball!!! Pass it back when necessary and don't force bad chances.
  • Don't pass the ball out lightly on goal kicks. This can give opponents easy interceptions and breaks.
  • Be patient on D, use jockey and contain to force your player to pass or make bad decisions.
  • Hold down LB on Xbox or L1 Playstation to make a player go on an offensive run, consider playing a through ball to them. Don't force it though.
  • Utilize D-pad controls! D-pad controls are very useful if you need to keep a lead or score some quick goals. My favorite strategy to use is counter attack w/ defensive
  • Don't be afraid to alter your teams starters/formation, if you can find a way to exploit your opponents it will be very useful.
  • Press RB on Xbox or R1 on PS3 while shooting and your player should bend the the shot around the keeper. Don't always resort to this because sometimes you just need to power it past the keeper.
  • Get warmed up! Practice mode and arena help this!
  • Use your wide players, especially if they are pacy. They are a dangerous form of attack that many forget about.
  • Don't always use the traditional lofted cross, consider also using the low cross and ground cross for your strikers to put away.
  • Consider manual controls, you don't have much control over the default assisted controls.
  • A good move to learn to utilize is the rainbow/inverted rainbow. It's quick to execute on the controller, effective, and is a flashy way to get past the defender.
  • Take advantage of the early cross which you can execute by holding down LB on Xbox or L1 on Playstation as you're charging up the power bar for your cross.
  • Use the through ball!!! But don't abuse it!
  • Practice makes perfect, so use the practice mode to practice your set pieces, particularly free kicks.
  • When playing online in FIFA 12, keep in mind that Barcelona, Manchester United, AC Milan, and Real Madrid are the best teams to use, but many players will see using them as rather cheap, so change it up a bit if you typically only use, for example, Manchester United.
  • Posses the ball!!! Your opponent may get impatient and leave you with wide open lanes.
  • Utilize your team's strong players. Be careful though, people will sacrifice bookings to injure them.
  • When playing with a team with such a strong passing game as Barcelona, take advantage of this!
  • Take advantage of your fastest players, speed is one of the most important attributes in FIFA 12.
  • Like the last tip, keep in mind that strong players have a significant edge over ones that are only a bit less strong or large than them.
  • When you have a tall forward such as Peter Crouch, try to get as many lofted crosses in as possible.
  • Utilize Custom Tactics!
  • The chipped through ball is very useful when playing with a team that features a fast striker.
  • Chipping to finish is very useful if you are playing against someone who frequently charges with their keeper.
  • Use the contain control to keep a good distance from your opponent, this will not allow them to slip by you easily by using skill moves. Press RB on Xbox or R1 PS3 to double team the ball when the opposing player exposes the ball.
  • Utilize your pacier players to create chances and the slower ones with more power to finish them



Ultimate Team Tips


  • Buy low, sell high!!! Trading is a great way to make coins
  • Don't go pack crazy, we all think we can get lucky and score big but packs are a big waist!!!
  • Chemistry is key, a bunch of star players with low chemistry will be easily beat.
  • Buy players in your formation if you can, it raises chemistry.
  • Managers are very helpful in raising chemistry if you need it.
  • Check player prices before you buy, you don't want to end up buying a player you could get for much cheaper.
  • Visit ultimatedb.nl to check player prices, build squads, and other useful things.
  • Don't make some amazing gold team before you can handle it, maintaining a high rated team can be very expensive. Build your team up, take it slow.
  • Nothing beats sending in a fresh sub late in the game. Build up your subs too.
  • Just because 2 players are both high rated doesn't mean they will complement each other. Make sure your players play well together. Chemistry helps this.
  • Check fitness and moral!!! Rest players if necessary, use cards on them, or play easy teams single player to raise moral.
