It's not broken, you just don't know how to do it.
Setup a two player game and practice it. You hold L2+Pass and have to make sure your player is next to the ball. If it doesn't "click" it will look like it doesn't work. You have to be next to the ball when you inbound it and as long as you hold Pass, he will keep skipping next to the ball until half court or the defender disrupts the entire thing.
