When playing FIFA 23, you should learn basics like how to do a cross or lob pass. These are simple yet important moves that can help you control the game and win matches. The best part is since these are the basics they aren’t exactly hard to learn. So in this guide let us check how to do a cross or lob pass in FIFA 23 and all its important variations.

How to do a Cross or Lob Pass in FIFA 23

You can do a Cross or Lob Pass in FIFA 23 by pressing and releasing the lob pass button on your controller. The lob pass button is:

  • Square on PlayStation
  • X on Xbox
  • Y on Nintendo Switch

Based on where your teammate is you should tap and hold the pass button (Square/X/Y) and then release to pass the ball. Do remember to not overcharge or undercharge your shot as it will then make it easier for opponents to intercept the ball.

If you are new to the game or football in general then you might not know what a cross pass is. A cross pass or a lob pass is a shot where one teammate will shoot the ball in a high arc, usually over a long distance to aerially pass the ball to another teammate. So if you are near your teammate then you should do a ground pass instead.
