For short distance i use normal passes, long distance are driven. If there's a something you want a guide on let me know!

[@enzonesio1710]

Great vid man!! What tactics and formations do you use?

[@Shnoozel]

Yeah i also need to know

[@bigfads8530]

The same as my 3-5-2 video, with 60 depth instead!@@enzonesio1710

[@Francesco1956]

What kind of options about precision pass do you use in the settings menu? High or normal? Thanks a lot!

[@madskillzz66]

what’s the camera angle are you using? And also are you changing the custom the settings in camera? @bigfads8530

Best part about this vid is that it shows we can play great without excessive skill moves. Brilliant tutorial, we need more❤

[@MikeKulyk]

Man, I can’t tell you how grateful I am for this video. I was loosing this WL 2-6 and was thinking of deleting the game . But after watching this video I decided to give it a try and finished 13-7 🤯🥳 I am sooo happy 🥳🥳🥳 Thank you for your work and helping others to get better

[@senpaisama]

I feel like this video has given me a clarity on what I should look for when building up. It has transformed my gameplay, awesome content bro.

Great vid thanks bro !

[@3213470]

Awesome 🔥🔥 The way you explain is simply amazing. I would’ve never thought that a bounce pass could move the opponent player, it may sound obvious but as we don’t pay attention while playing we don’t imagine the basic stuff

[@bigfads8530]

It’s one of the main aspects of citys play, especially when one of the CB’s move intl the midfield for pep.

The video was very good,now I finally feel like I have something real to get better at. Together with your other videos, I feel ready to actually control the game and realize what I’m doing wrong. Keep the videos coming🫡

[@phamlong128]

You can only do the build up as easy as the vid when you use 3 backs or 5 backs tactics. In this vid, the 3 backs are Blanc, Mapi and Tchou (please watch the vid). Only with these formations you have enough people at the back line to build the play with 1st line or 2nd line passes like he said because you outnumber your opponent. When you play with 3 or 5 backs, the 71 depth will trigger the press automatically but since you have more people, eventually your opponent’s formation will be screwed up just after a few 1st line passes since they moved from their original position so much. If you use 4 back tactics there will roughly no space at all, you need to use player lock and dribbling skills to break the line.

[@bigfads8530]

Played it succesfully with the 424, 4222, 442, 4231 and the 41212. It's slightly riskier as i use the GK to create the advantage, aswell as have attacking RB/LB to create overloads further up the pitch instead. You need to keep in mind that your formation just changes where you can look to create overloads. Take the 4231, while a 4 back might struggle a little more in beating the attacking line, it's waaay easier to hold the ball in the midfield when you do get past. This isn't do diminsh what you're saying. You're 100% spot on that the 3 back allows you to easier build up, it's the reason i enjoy it. (it's also what real teams do against press, make it a 3atb or use the GK)

[@GetFox3]

hey man, what are your camera settings?

[@skalfyfan]

Fantastic depth in your videos man. You said most of your passes in opponents half are L1 + pass to create movement. Fair. When do you use through ball pass - if at all? Is the use of through ball only in special case scenarios and the majority of your passes are normal L1 + pass and/oor regular driven pass? In what scenario would you use through ball? Only in a break away run scenario? Also when you L1 + pass do you bother with directional runs by flicking RS or do you basically just L1 + pass and let them run straight?

[@bigfads8530]

Pretty much in breakaway scenarios. There are some instances where i look for a through ball elsewhere but they’re an exception, not a rule or a pattern i look for. So no real specific time. Direction are great but i’m not reliable with them, so normal L1 + pass is enough for me.

[@Francesco1956]

What kind of options about precision pass do you use in the settings menu? High or normal? Thanks a lot!

[@mozeyad4573]

awesome tutorial, is the formation tutorial applicable in FC24? or are you going to update it?

[@bigfads8530]

It’s pretty much the same but with 60 depth. Will look to remake it when i make big changes.

You should make a tutorial about the layer switching and defense

[@bigfads8530]

I have one on defense, i could look into player switching

[@FabioSilva-nz2uf]

hi!! What tactics do you use?

[@pedrob.1699]

It would be useful if u can show when to force a run with L1 or make a L1+X pass instead of a normal pass. I guess it changes the way ur team acts while building up. Sometimes I find myself forcing a lot 1-2 passes and not having a passing option afterwards, other times its the opposite. Thank u for the tutorials

[@bigfads8530]

That’s fair. Rule of thumb for me is never in my own half, almost everytime in my opponents (unless one of the CM is already running, i’ll keep the other back.

[@evanrex1678]

What's your camera settings man?

[@kaziourblue8410]

I normally call them kinda pass popping it with means always playing through gaps your actually noticed these kinda passes as options if you look for it

[@jari1507]

all fun and games, but 90% off the time my players decide for themselves where the ball is going. Or nobody is making a run...

[@user-fq2eh7gl9e]

Make sure you pass with L1 also look for good instructions 👍🏻

Bigfads what should I do with 800k?

[@0ne1woThr33]

what is this camera angle and height/zoom?

[@lnz2525]

For me i always make the wrong pass in the final 3rd. When im 1on1 with a good CB i simply just can not get past them. I try to pass by them and it always gets blocked or intercepted.

[@bigfads8530]

The best way to explain my playstyle is that i "run away" from the opponent. when i'm in a 1v1 with a CB, very rarely do i challenge him. I make sure to know what options i have, and then wait for him to make a decision and "run away" to one of the options that are left open by his decision. Hopes that makes any sense.

[@TheSagachristos]

I'm someone who enjoys playing a passing game but frequently the game passes to the wrong player instead of my intended player which kills my attack a lot. I've tried automatic and semi settings and none of them made a difference. It's just so annoying

[@bigfads8530]

Try turning on the arrow that shows direction. i did once and the amount of times i could see myself aiming badly was crazy. Still doesn't fix some really stupid passes the game makes, but definitely minimizes some.

[@naf7815]

Hey, I was wondering if you could explain why the game feels so inconsistent at times? For context i usually play fifa late because I understand connection can be a big thing however tonight it felt like my team could never really get going? making no options, no smart runs, sluggish left stick dribbling. but last night I had no issue and everything was free flowing. is there a way to control this? many thanks Fads

[@bigfads8530]

Wish i knew bro, the inconsistent gameplay is the main killer for me aswell.

[@marinn778]

when the WL comes,my lewa rttg,alvarez,son,aspas,de jong,cancelo blaizers etc etc they just cant make a pass.awful,unplayablr

[@ilayabekasis9659]

Tactics soon?

[@stefanosalariace]

im probably crazy or something but the ground pass assistance feel so slow and heavy compared to semi… In fact i cannot play on assistance yes i do miss some passes but the pass travels faster in semi

[@bigfads8530]

Interesting, might give it a try.

[@leshu6425]

Camera?

[@navjotghuman2530]

Which formation do you use??

[@bigfads8530]

3-5-2 & 4-2-4 mainly

[@yaha4120]

Normally yes, but playing 71/71 depth no pass in 2/3 or 3/3 line is constant. KI of the defenders is Crazy Strong and the midfielders hiding behind the opponent

[@bigfads8530]

Change tactics mate. I find it insane people are running tactics (such as direct passing which basically means run behind instead of show yourself) and then you’re surprised players don’t show. Try to mix a little, slow build up, possesion and free roam (espcially on players with high att.positioning) you’d be surprised how they show themselves

[@yaha4120]

thx, im trying. I already changed direct passing bc i dont like it in ea 24. Im always a very fast counter attack player but this year its more difficult. But like i said its very hard (for me) to find play stations in the midfield. i often use flair crosses in the free space but the opposing team running like maniacs and catch my neymar or even haaland :D@@bigfads8530

[@EmVeediEs]

Most casual players, like myself, are just not fast enough in making decisions. If u have to think it’s probably already too late

[@bigfads8530]

Fast decisions come down to instinct brother, and instincts will be there over years. IDoesn’t have much to do with how much you play, rather with how much of your time you focus on these while you do. Focus on one aspect the entire game, and only that and you’ll see it become habit after a while. I do understand wanting to play for fun though, and not ”try-hard” to improve if one’s playing casually.

[@Robzabest25]

the moevements his players make is crazy

[@bigfads8530]

Manual runs my guy, i tell them to run. Don’t like when the game does it for me.

[@RyanM-gc4og]

what are “few” touches again? are you saying less passing? watching again.

[@bigfads8530]

Few touches means that you want your player to touch the ball as little as possible. (For example, 1 touch pass, or first touch to receive, 2nd touch is a pass) the more touches you take the easier it becomes to press you.
