Master Precision Passing

Precision Passing is a new way of getting the ball where a team can pose the greatest danger to the opponent. Essentially, it’s like the manual passing of old, but with added control to allow players to take advantage of space that opens up as the defense is shifting. Precision passes trade speed for accuracy, so it is best used when there is more space to run into for the attacking player. Using the technique requires proper management of both power and placement, as the move will see players having to hold the button down for power and use the analog stick to direct the pass to where it needs to be. Knowing how to do this properly will lead to victories against the AI and other human opponents.
