passing in fifa 08 is a little tougher than fifa 07 now
let me proceed with some tricks out hear..
while making a pass
1)Try to pass the ball into a player who is not marked by a defender.
I WOULD LIKE TO MENTION A TRICK OUT HEAR SO PLEASE MAKE A NOTE OF IT.
If u cleanly observe when your player is having pocession with the ball and while dribbling the player"will shake his head looking for the players who are free i.e players who are not marked"Try to make a pass to the player who your player is looking at..
if u do so there are lot of chances of keeping the ball with u with out loosing it...
2)The same concept applies to cross the ball as well..
cross the ball only after entering the crossing area with a good and sufficent amount of power.. don give more power while crossing ..
