Now available to players who opted for early access and soon for the global community, EA Sports FC 24 offers a range of new mechanics that can significantly impact a season. For those looking to quickly master these new mechanics, particularly in the art of assists and flawless passes, there is good news – it can be achieved through practice.
The key lies in Precision Passing, a revolutionary feature in EA Sports FC 24 that enables players to strategically position the ball, putting their opponents in maximum jeopardy. This elevated level of passing goes beyond what was previously possible with the default controls, providing players with the ability to identify passing lanes that were once unattainable. If you're aiming to deliver a game-changing pass, this guide is here to help you achieve that.
What is Precision Passing?
The content is similar to the traditional method of passing, but it offers additional control to enable players to exploit the gaps created when the defense is adjusting. Precision passes prioritize accuracy over speed, making them most effective when the attacking player has more room to maneuver into.
Using the technique necessitates effective management of power and placement, as players are required to maintain pressure on the button for power and utilize the analog stick to steer the pass in the desired direction. Mastering this skill will result in triumphs against AI and other human adversaries.

There are three types of Precision Passes that can be done in the game, and they are broken down into:
Precision Pass (R1 + Triangle / RB + Y) - Enables precise control over the direction of a pass, functioning similar to a through ball. Additionally, it can be utilized for accurate passes to a teammate's feet.
Precision Lob (R1 + Square / RB + X) - Offers the same level of control as the Precision Pass, but with the pass being executed through the air rather than on the ground.
Swerving Precision Pass (L2 + R1 + Triangle / LT + RB + Y) allows the ball to curve, enabling players to bypass defenders and create more advantageous attacking opportunities.
Certain scenarios in EA Sports FC 24 call for the effective use of Precision Passing. This technique is most beneficial when used to send players into open spaces where they can showcase their skills. For instance, through balls directed through the center of the opposition's defense or between centerbacks and fullbacks.
The lob can be utilized to accurately deliver crossfield passes to the intended player, overcome the entire defensive line from one end to the other, or even provide more precise crossing when the attacking team has a numerical advantage.
Regarding the Swerving Precision Pass, employ it in the half spaces or from the wing to successfully execute the desired curve, eluding defenders and enabling strikers to make runs towards the goal for a shot. Mastering this skill allows any team to have their own Kevin De Bruyne on the field.
EA Sports FC 24 is available now on PC, PS5, PS4, Switch, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One.
