How to master FIFA 22 passing & crossing
Of course, knowing the buttons isn’t enough to master passes and crosses in FIFA 22. You’ll need to know when to do combinations, too, which all depends on the situation at hand. Don’t stress, though. We’ve got you covered with some tips. The ground pass is the most versatile one. But there will be times where some of the other passes can be more effective. For example, a lobbed pass is great when an opponent is blocking the way, a driven ground pass is useful to send the ball hard and fast over a longer distance, and a lofted pass is somewhere in between. These modifiers can be applied to crosses, too. The whipped cross, inspired by Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold, makes it easier for players to get their head on the ball by causing it to dip and slow down right before contact.
Last but not least, the creative runs command is a fantastic way to get more control over your teammates off the ball before releasing a pass. you’re able to tell them exactly where to go, and time the pass so it flies into space they’re running into.
