How to hold Gamepad FIFA 15

Question

I have been playing FIFA series since Fifa98 and have been using Keyboard all the time to play. Now I feel I should add some flair to my gameplay with skills for which I think the best option is to use a gamepad. I have a Logitech F310 gamepad like the one shown below.

I am pretty much confused about how to hold this properly. Right now i use like below

• LB - Left Index Finger
• LT = Left Middle Finger
• RB - Right Index Finger
• RT - Right Middle Finger
• LS - Left Thumb
• RS - Right Thumb
• X,A,B,Y - I use tip of the right thumb

The problem is performing fake shots and fake crosses, which are quite easily done on the keyboard. I find it very hard switch the thumb(X + A) and (B + A). I would like to hear from FIFA experienced gamepad users on their gamepad holding techniques and the advantages.

Answer 1

There is not really a good answer for this as it's all preference but as for you problem with your A+X/ B+A you can just use your thumb to press both at the same time.

I usually press A not with the tip but a bit further down my thumb(I don't know the word in English).

Answer 2

It sounds like you permanently leave your right thumb on the RS analogue stick. You don't need to do that. That stick is only useful for a couple of actions. I usually have the right thumb hovering over the four colorful buttons, and just move it to the stick if I want to do one of the trick actions.

For combinations like X + A I also use the joint my thumb to press the green button, while I use the tip of the thumb for the other button.
