How to play the double pass in Fifa 22

How to play the double pass in Fifa 22 on the PS4/5 and Xbox One similarly.

• First pass the ball to a teammate. On the PS4/5, you do this with the L1 and X buttons. On the Xbox One, you do this with the LB and A buttons.

• The first player then continues to run forward while the second player dribbles with the ball in the direction of the goal.

• Then play the ball back to the first player. On the PS4 this is done with the X button, on the Xbox with the A button.

• Significant for the double pass is that the first player runs directly in the direction of the goal after the pass. If you don’t want this, i.e. you want to play a simple double pass, press the X button on the PS4 and the A button on the Xbox. You then pass the ball straight back again with the pass button.

• In fact, the double pass option with the with run towards the goal is preferable. The game gains momentum with it. You make more free spaces with it and use more power against your opponent’s defence.

Directional double pass and defending the double pass

Your opponent will of course also take advantage of the double pass. Therefore, it is important to know how you can defend against it. With the directional double pass, you have the choice of skilfully manoeuvring the ball through defensive chains.

• For the directional double pass, again use the X button on PS4 and the A button on Xbox One to pass the ball to your teammate. Then move the right stick quite suddenly in the desired direction for the passer. With his targeted run, you then bypass the defender and run towards the goal.

• Your team-mate must run towards the goal at the same time so that you can pass the ball back to him. Then press the X button for PS-4 or the A button for Xbox One to aim the double pass to the first player.

• The advantage of this directional double pass is that you can control where your player runs with the right stick. With the normal double pass, Fifa 22 does this. This gives you more control over the game and you can deceive the opponent.

• You can defend the double pass by watching the passer. If he runs directly forward after the pass, position your defender to take out the pass receiver.

• In the case of a directional double pass, however, be careful not to break up your defensive chain too much should your opponent try to trick you.
