In this tutorial we will share with you the best FIFA 15 gameplay tips about passing.

TOP 3 Passing Tips for FIFA 15

3
The Beautiful Game is Back

Last year we came out and told everyone not to play the “Beautiful Game.” Guess what? This year, we are recommending players to play the “Beautiful Game.” FIFA, this year, is rewarding players that are trying to play tiki-taka like Barcelona. Instead of always going for attacks and shooting, just keep passing it around and keep moving. Make sure your opponent touches the ball as little as possible towards the end of the game. This year you can play really nice football that is enjoyable to watch and still actually win whilst getting better at the game.

2
Beat Overaggressive Defences over the Top

Over-the-top through balls can be very effective in this year’s game. First, try to read the play before it has already been made. A lot of players will have two strikers and will try to one-two excessively between them, and a good opponent will simply move the centre back into a position where they can intercept the pass.

Within the first 15 minutes of a game, you should be able to determine how aggressive their defensive style is.

1
Hold LB or L1 While Passing and Receiving

You can instantly control first-touches nine times out of ten by constantly holding LB / L1 when you’re about to receive a pass. When you have the ball with your midfielder that you want to go forward, keep holding LB / L1 and the recipient of the pass will stop on the ball. This will put you at a slight disadvantage because it can really slow your play down. This is because your players tend to take a second to control the ball.

Holding LB / L1 while passing, will make the player who passed the ball do a forward run in hopes of re-acquiring the ball.
Use this with caution because if you hold LB / L1 and pass with a centre back, they will run up field and leave a gap in your defence.

However, this will resolve your frustration from players taking unnecessary big touches and losing the ball. When you are about to receive the ball, try to make sure you are not holding sprint. Especially, if you are receiving a pass and your player is sprinting in the direction the pass is coming from.

SHORT PASS

Passing lanes 1-3: most accurate, 4-7: diminished accuracy 8-9: least effective

Xbox Controls
A Button

Playstation Controls
X Button

Compared to FIFA 14
The passing function’s effectiveness has stayed relatively the same. However, the first touch has become more randomized, which makes passing seem more difficult because of the increase in turnovers.

Situations
Situation 1: Passing to players directly up the pitch from you tends to be the most accurate.
Situation 2: Using simple passes to attack down the middle.

KNOCK ON

Xbox Controls
Right Trigger + Right Thumbstick + Direction

Playstation Controls
R2 Trigger + Right Thumbstick + Direction

Compared to FIFA 14
The “knock on” was disappointing in FIFA 14. The defender used to put himself between you and the ball, but now the effective knock on has returned.

Situations
Situation 1: On a fast break with open field in front of you.
Situation 2: Knock it around the goalkeeper to create space.

THROUGH BALL

Xbox Controls
Y Button

Playstation Controls
Triangle Button

Compared to FIFA 14
The through balls effectiveness has stayed the same from FIFA 14 to FIFA 15.

Situations
Situation 1: Consider using the through ball when you have a player in a position with a lot of space in front of him to run into.
Situation 2: Through balls are unlikely to be cut off by the defender, and the pass will be made to a player with space in the middle of the pitch.

LOBBED THROUGH PASS

Xbox Controls
Left Bumper + Y Button

Playstation Controls
L1 Bumper + Triangle Button

Situations
Situation 1: Most useful when it appears your “through ball” will be stolen by a defender.
Situation 2: To change the line of your attacking player to get the ball earlier than before.

Playstation Controls

Situations
Situation 1: Best application is when your players are in close proximity to each other. Otherwise, the pass might not have enough pace on it to reach the next player.
Situation 2: Punishing an overaggressive defender that is trying to rush your play.

FLAIR PASS

Xbox Controls
Right Bumper + A Button

Playstation Controls

Compared to FIFA 14
The passes are not very effective and should not be used in competitive matches.

Situations
Situation: The flair pass has no place in competitive matches; it is used purely for show.
