EA SPORTS FC 27 passing guide
Updated through balls, lofted passes and creating safer passing angles.
Overview
FC 27 revises through balls and soft or lofted passes while tying outcomes more closely to player control and attributes. Smarter attacking movement also changes which passing lanes become available.
How it works
Passing quality depends on angle, pressure, receiver movement and the attributes of the passer. Creative runs and better space recognition can open lanes that were not available a moment earlier.
Practical tips and limits
Release the ball before pressure fully closes, lead receivers into useful space and avoid forcing a through ball simply because a runner is moving forward.
