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.
