Ground Pass

Short pass is a ground pass that sends the ball to a teammate in a short distance.


Lob Pass (Cross)

Lob pass is a aerial pass that is used to send the ball to a teammate in a high arc and a long distance. This pass method is also used for doing a cross.


Low Cross

By double tapping the Lob Pass button, you can perform a low-range cross when passing the ball into the opponent’s box.


Through Pass

Through pass is a forward pass which travels into an open space through your opponent defenders so your attackers can grab the ball beyond the defenders.

Passing Speed, Strength and Reaction

The speed and strength of your passes are determined by holding the pass buttons. The longer you hold the button, the more strength/pace you’re going to put on the ball. The quicker you press a pass button, the shorter reaction your player will take to pass the ball. For example, for doing an one-touch or 1-2 passing, you just need to do a quick tap on a passing button.
