CONTROLS


Before going into the topic first get used to the controls.FIFA is a very complex game which demands a great deal of concentration and attention as you need to stretch your fingers all over the keyboard and actually PLAY the game,so its necessary for the begginers to get used to the controls.Lets have a look at the controls now.





DK = Directional Keys (Up, Down, Left, Right Arrows)
L = Left (refering to the position of the player: the left of the player)
R = Right (the right of the player)
F = Forward (the direction the player is facing)
B = Backward (the opposite of forward)
(L, R, F, B are just directions, use DK to move your player in these directions)DK = Directional Keys (Up, Down, Left, Right Arrows)

Q = Call 2nd player/Player Runs ( You can Indirectly control the player runs)
W = Through ball/Goal Keeper Rush ( You can make a through pass for the ball / You can rush the goal keeper under critical situation i.e when you are one on one with the striker)
S = conservative pass
