Tried manual, semi, assisted. Passing is broken in semi and manual. Want proof? Try passing right from the kickoff to the player right behind you, notice how it NEVER actually goes to him? It's always either too hard a pass, or goes to one side or the other. There is something broken in the passing for these past few years that has ruined the experience. And meanwhile the AI is robotic as ever, you need massive slider changes just to try and adjust their usual 95% passing completion ratings.

Re: Passing completely broken in FIFA14
use the sliders then
i set cpu on legendary with 65 pass error and their pass completion ranges between high 70s and low 80s against me.
and i disagree about manual passing this year, it's very accurate, it even feels like there's some assistance added to it. the only thing that annoys me is when i have two players close to the pass direction and the game picks the wrong one to receive it. -
Re: Passing completely broken in FIFA14
I will try 65, thanks. What about shot error, what setting do you use?
That's what I mean about assistance, it isn't true manual, so it really messes me up. There is some sort of "assistance" that seems to mistake my opponent for the person I wanted to pass it to, and manual passes go directly to the opponent many times. That is why it is broken.Comment

Re: Passing completely broken in FIFA14
"broken" is too harsh of a word for it, imo
i use 54 for both human and cpu, but i play with 15 minute halves.
these are my sliders
http://www.operationsports.com/forum...ary-15min.html
be aware that game difficulty is decreased the higher you set the cpu pass error at. so if you try 65 and feel the game is too easy, back off a bit.
and the passes don't mistake your opponent as the player you wanted to pass to, definitely not, lol. this isn't what i meant when i said it feel like there's some assistance. what i mean is it feels like the pass trajectory is slightly directed closer to the player of your team that is the nearest to where you aimed your pass to.
btw, i like the feel of my passes much more when the user pass error slider is set on 51 instead of default (50). go figure... anyway, worth a try =)Last edited by Gonira; 11-13-2013, 12:23 PM.Comment

Re: Passing completely broken in FIFA14
Often I find the pass going where I want to go, but switches to the wrong player while the other player watches it go by before I can change players.Comment

Re: Passing completely broken in FIFA14
your passing power is probably too high. It is annoying when you need that ball to get there in a tight spaces. I feel like in this years game, the passing is very dependent on passing ratings of the players more than your individual skill on the sticks. kinda like what Gonira was saying that it felt almost like it was assisted.
I find that some players can make fast crisp ground passes and pin point lobs while other players can only give you slow ground passes and launch lobs way too far regardless of power.
The more I play, the more I feel like this year's game is getting leaps and bounds better then last year. Its all the small things I am noticing while I fine tune my game play around my squads.Comment

Re: Passing completely broken in FIFA14
Sure, your own players always perform so bad anyway, it's how EA make the difficulty higher. Good luck seeing differing ratings against the CPU, they are pretty much perfect at everything. I put pass and shot error to max, 100, and the AI is still passing around 85% in 20 min halves.Comment

Re: Passing completely broken in FIFA14
I've had CPU pass error at 90 since day 1 and the CPU finishes every game with a pass % in the high 70s or low 80s. The past week I've been experimenting with lowering it to 75 because the CPU is pretty much useless at passing when it's any higher than that.Last edited by Yeats; 11-18-2013, 07:35 AM.Comment

questions regarding through balls
Don't want to hijack this thread, but since I cannot start a new one and I have two questions regarding passes, I thought it might fit in here:
1. I play on full manual settings, so the direction and strength of a pass is completely controlled by me, right? So does it make any difference if I use a normal pass (A button on X-Box controller) or a through pass (Y button)? I thought that maybe if I use a through pass, my pass receiver will run a little different or start to run earlier, but I am unsure if there's any difference at all on when playing on full manual...
2. When do you use a high pass (X button) and when do you use a lobbed through pass (LB and Y buttons)? Often I am unsure which one to use, especially when I am trying to get the ball high up the field to find an open striker. The high pass mostly either gets headed away by a defender too easily or it goes way too far and gets picked up by the goalkeeper. The lobbed through pass seems to have a higher curve but is much slower. Are those observations correct?
Thank you, appreciate your help. I am playing on PC btw, so no Ignite (my PC is rather next gen, but obviously EA is not).Comment

Re: Passing completely broken in FIFA14
1. the through pass (either low or lobbed) is faster than the standard pass (if you don't change the pass speed slider, which doesn't affect through balls) and is more directed goalwards. there's some slight assistance added and the way the receiver runs to the ball also seems different, so they don't work the same.
2. for the kind of lobbed pass that you want, i'd use a lobbed through ball 100% of the time. it's accuracy and curve is better for it. i only use the cross button for clearances and actual crosses.Comment

Re: Passing completely broken in FIFA14
It's a shame EA can't code their sliders to work so that 0 means good luck connecting a pass and 100 means I could watch tv and press pass and never have it go astray.
Think of how many EA games could be fixed if they did this simple thing with their sliders.
CPU passing in Madden and Ncaa fixed, fifa passing fixed, finally penalties in madden and ncaa! Pass and run blocking would work perfectly for the user, CPU shot accuracy in fifa would work, etc.
Every once and awhile you can find a slider that works the right way and wow, you can set it and forget it.
But because sliders work in this nebulous way people are polarized by them. I will never understand people who don't want them because we can never trust the game makers to get everything right, but seeing how people speculate and scrutinize sliders makes it it's own Pandora's box.
I mean that thread in the madden forum about how changing kick interference makes pass coverage tighter or whatever it was, I may not have it nailed down, takes the cake. I believe them though, I know changing those things makes a difference because really, why shouldn't it? That, and I tried it and it worked.
Why don't sliders work right?resident curmudgeonComment

Re: Passing completely broken in FIFA14
@Gonira: Thanks for your replay.
By the way: is there any reason why there's no talk about modding the game in this forum? Is it not allowed here? Because I gave some user mods a shot yesterday and my first impression was that FIFA has become a much better game... I was just wondering why there's no talk about it here.Comment
