If you’ve struggled with passing in FC, it’s probably because of the system’s aim lock mechanism. Unlike real football, where you pass exactly where you aim, the game tries to assist by targeting the nearest player to your aim. This can be problematic if two players are equidistant from your target. The key to successful passing is to aim precisely and control the ball first, taking a touch to face your target before passing. Don’t force passes through crowded areas—instead, use other players to create triangles. When players are close together, over-aim slightly to ensure the game locks onto the desired target. Passing is more than pressing a button—it’s about positioning, aim, and using the game mechanics wisely.
