CROSSING
...........................................................................................................
A brand-new crossing system has been introduced with vastly different mechanics to FIFA 17.
The standard cross has more pace and curve on it, compared to the more-looped delivery from last year, which makes the function feel more realistic.
If a player attempts to send in a cross while the body position is not right or is travelling at high speed, it is more difficult to execute that perfect delivery to create scoring
opportunities.
Low and high crosses can still be delivered by holding the left and right bumper's respectively.
EA Sports have attempted to make the function a much more important part of the game than last edition.

PASSING
...............................................................................
In FIFA 17, one press of the long pass button could generally execute a cross-field ball that would get a player out of trouble.
It's not so easy this time around.
A player will require much more skill to pull the move off, including the length of pressing the button and body position.
It's a risk-reward maneuver that when done correctly will open up attacking avenues, but if not could result in an opportunity for your opponent.

POWERED TACKLE
............................................................................
A powered tackle has been introduced into the game alongside the standard standing tackle.
By long-pressing the standing tackle button, a defender will make a stronger, more physical effort to win the ball - increasing the chance of breaking up the play and giving away a foul.
The developers have tried to make passive defending a thing of the past and force players to make a decision and be smart about their timing with tackles.
The ball can also be won by not pressing any tackle buttons at all, and just positioning the body cleverly enough to impact an opposition player.
