How to double pass FIFA

FIFA is one of the most popular video game series in the world. Under the protective wing of Electronic Arts, every year a new chapter of the official football simulation arrives punctually on the shelves of stores – physical and digital – ready to entertain millions of fans from every corner of the globe. You are one of these, but you are not very expert in the game; in fact you have not quite understood how the skills are carried out.

More precisely, lately you have been wondering how to double step on FIFA but you have not been able to find a simple tutorial explaining how to do it. That’s the way it is, right? Then don’t worry: if you want, I can explain how to reach your goal. On the other hand, even if it is possible to play the titles of the FIFA series using only the basic mechanics, learning the skills is a whole other “music”!

What do you say, then? Are you ready to go into the merits of this “advanced” FIFA mechanic? In my opinion you can’t wait to “leave in place” that defender who tries to hinder your players while you are in the offensive phase. Come on then, below you will find all the information of the case. There is nothing left for me to do, except wish you good reading and have fun!

Preliminary information

Before going into the details of the procedure on how to double step on FIFA , I think it might interest you to know more about this “football move”.

Well, the double step is a feint designed to disorient or dribble the opponent . In other words, we try to simulate a contact with the ball that does not actually take place, and then redirect the latter towards a point that the other player does not expect.

In short, it is easier said than done and surely if you follow football you already know what you are talking about. On FIFA, the double pass has been available for many years and is usually also used to re-enter the flanks and put a cross or shoot .

In the titles of the Electronic Arts series, in fact, the mechanics of the double pass is particularly useful near the penalty area, especially when you meet players who have not yet learned to manage the defensive phases properly.

In short, I fully understand the reason that drives you to want to learn how to perform this feint in your favorite football video game and in fact this guide is here for this very reason.

In case you were wondering, you don’t have to worry too much about the FIFA chapter you have – generally the double-pass mechanic is essentially the same across all editions. So, whether you want to know how to double step on FIFA 21 , FIFA 20 or any other chapter in the series, following my advice you should reach your goal without any particular problems.

How to double step on FIFA

After briefly explaining to you what the double pass is mainly used for , I would say that it is time to take action and explain how to do it in FIFA .

To proceed, once you have entered the game – in any mode -, you just need to move the left analog in one direction and make the right analog perform a “crescent” of 90 degrees . By doing so, you will see that the player you are controlling will double step .

You will have to study the question of the angle towards which to move the right analog. It all depends on the position of your player’s body , so you have to pay attention, for example, to when to start with the stick from the left and finish the movement on the right or when to do vice versa .

The only way to fully understand how to do this is to try to do it directly while running with the ball in any FIFA mode. In short, it is one of those skills that requires to be tried several times to be learned.

Obviously, it is up to you to direct the feint where you want , so to do this it is good to try again several times to perform the action. In fact, even if the double-pass mechanic is potentially easy to put into action, the difficulty comes when it comes to exploiting it properly during the hectic FIFA matches.

For the rest, FIFA is a title played with controllers also on PC, so the procedure is the same. Sure, some chapters of the series allow you to use a mouse and keyboard, but I strongly advise you not to try to perform the skills with these input methods, as you may not succeed and in any case you risk having a competitive disadvantage.

How to train in FIFA to take the double step

Speaking of training , within the “canonical” games of the Electronic Arts series there are some more suitable ways than others to test the double step.

More precisely, I advise you to go, starting from the main FIFA screen , to the PLAY tab . Here you should find the Skill Test or, better yet, Training Arena option .

In the first case it is possible to select dribbling activities , perhaps advanced ones, in which you are put face to face with a defender who has to stop you . This context can be very useful for training with the double step and try to use it to overcome the opponent.

On the other hand, in the case of the Training Arena , the latter puts you in front of the goalkeeper , guaranteeing you a large free space to train with skills. This is probably the most useful way to double step training, as you have all the peace of mind in the world to do it.

Generally, the first attempts to double pass fail perfectly, as it is a mechanic that must be tried and “internalized”. So I advise you to train here, trying to go in various directions and do the double step.

The first few times, if you really can’t perform this skill, it might be useful to make the right analog do more turns , in order to see what the latter entails. However, I advise you to use this method only as a starting point and then learn how to take advantage of the double step.

In fact, using the right analog a little “randomly” could lead to unwanted actions during a game. In short, the best way to learn how to double step, once you know the buttons, is to try several times in the “free field” , until you reach a certain familiarity with the skill.

I know: carrying out this operation can be potentially “boring”, but if you want to learn how to exploit the game mechanics properly you must do it.

How to double step on FIFA Mobile

How do you say? Do you usually play FIFA Mobile (also known as FIFA Soccer) on your smartphone or tablet and would you like to know if it is possible to double pass in this version of the game? No problem, I’ll explain everything you need to know right away.

In this case, the game’s skill system is rather “chaotic”. In fact, as can be read on the official Electronic Arts portal , each player has his own skill move , which can be done by scrolling on the Snap and Skill button .

Skills available in this way include La Croqueta , heel-to-heel , elastic , bicycle, and toe-lift the ball . It is therefore not possible to double pass, if not perhaps with some specific player, but in my gaming experience I have never seen this skill in-game.

In any case, FIFA Mobile clearly has a more limited gameplay than the traditional chapters of the series and, for this reason, the skills have a more marginal role in this version of the game.

For the rest, since you are a fan of the Electronic Arts series, I would advise you to take a look at the page of my site dedicated to FIFA , where you can find other guides that could be for you.
