FIFA 13 Skill Games Day 1: Passing

FIFA 13 has 24 Skill Games that should perfect your shooting, improve your passing, and make you an all-round better player. If they don't, you might just be beyond help.

They're divided into 8 categories, including shooting, dribbling, and free kicks. In each one you'll be able to earn a bronze, silver, and gold level by fulfilling different challenges.

This week we're going to show you all of them on IGN, starting with that absolute fundamental: passing. The 6 videos below teach you how to play a variety of balls, from tiki-taka passes designed to eviscerate defences to lofted Beckham-esque balls that fall from the heavens.

Ground Pass

In this first drill, you simply need to pass the ball to several targets dotted around the pitch. You'll learn how to vary the amount of pace put on the ball to reach your desired target.

Increase your accuracy by threading passes between narrow gates towards targets.

Same as the last drill, but this time pesky defenders are lurking to intercept your laser passes.

Lob Pass

It's time to get out the bins. Dozens of them, in fact. In this first drill, you'll learn how to vary the length of lofted passes. Get into a big or small bin to net some extra points.

There's more to passing than simply hitting it as hard as you can. This skill game teaches you how to 'drive' a lob pass into a target and how to spread play left and right onto the flanks.

And to claim gold, you must take on the Crossbar Challenge! See how many times you can hit the bar as the clocks ticks down. If you hit it, you'll move further out. Can you hit it from the halfway line? We did.

FIFA 13 is out on all major platforms on September 25 in the UK and September 28 in the US.
