In FIFA 20, you can pass and shoot in completely crazy ways. We present some “Fancy Passes” – including backheel passes.
What are these passes in FIFA 20? In FIFA 20, you have significantly more tricks and animations available than in FIFA 19 to show off stylish dribbles, passes, or shots on the pitch.
This is mainly due to the major innovation in FIFA 20: The Volta Mode, which brings street football back. On the street, skill moves and pretty flair shots and passes are essential, which is why EA adds some new tricks.
However, you can perform the new animations not only in Volta mode but also on the big field in 11v11. The EA game-changer Kazooie94 now presents some “Fancy Passes” in the video, which we show you below:
Fancy Passes can be performed by almost all players in FIFA 20
Who can perform these cool passes? For the Fancy Passes, the only requirement specified is one star in skill moves. This means that any player can perform them – even the goalkeeper. However, some pass animations require the “Flair Trait,” which only a handful of players possess.
How to perform the “New Back Heel” pass: Hold L2 (LT), press X (A) and push the left stick back. Then the player pulls the ball back with one foot and passes it with the heel:
How to perform the Knee Pass: Hold L2 (LT), press X or Square (A or X) and push the left stick forward. The player then passes the ball directly with the knee:
How to perform the “Fancy Lob 90 Outside Foot” pass: Hold L2 (LT), press Square (X) and push the left stick left or right. The player lifts the ball with one foot and kicks it with the other foot:

How to perform the “Fancy Volley High” pass: Hold L2 (LT), press X or Square (A or X) and push the left stick back. For this pass, the player performs the same acrobatic movement as the previous pass, but in the air:

How to perform the “Rainbow Pass Backwards”: Hold L2 (LT), press Square (X) and push the left stick down. The player then passes the ball with the heel backwards, initially lifting it in rainbow style:

All these crazy passes in moving pictures can be seen in the video above. Keep in mind that the animations are triggered depending on the context. You must always hold L2 (LT) and pass the ball with X or Square (A or X). You cannot directly influence which animation will be triggered.
