FIFA 16 Beta Review: 15 Hands-On First Impressions

4. Hard Passes

Alongside 'no touch dribbling', passing with purpose is another feature that will help carve defences apart if pace is to be restrained. Holding the RB/R1 button and playing a pass would result in a flair/trick pass on FIFA 15, though that has been pushed to the background. Now that combination will unleash a drilled hard pass. It's somewhere between a through ball and a direct pass, and offers another level of unpredictability. It's a very useful feature, and more immediately usable than no touch dribbling.
