How to pass with a Through Ball in FIFA 23

To pass and assist with a Through Ball in FIFA 23, you’ll need to set up correctly. This means having a gap between defenders, and a streaking football player that can sprint towards the ball.

Now, to pass with a Through Ball, hit either Y (for Xbox) or Triangle (for PlayStation) on the controller to move the ball towards the open space. These controls are exactly the same for both the Classic and Alternate control configurations.

Through Balls are quite effective if you are trying to play a fast-paced game, and have an opportunity to catch defenders flat-footed. Knowing how to use a Through Ball will also most likely be important for FUT and Objectives, if history is any indication. In past FIFA games, players have needed in some Objectives challenges to rack up assists via the Through Ball. Make sure to master this mechanic, in order to make progress toward those specific Objectives.
