To initiate a one-two pass, press the S button while holding the Q button to make your
player pass to a nearby teammate, and move the left stick to continue his run. Then press
the S button (ground pass), the D button (through ball), the F button (lobbed pass), or
the Q button + the D button (lobbed through ball) to immediately return the ball to
him, timing the pass perfectly to avoid conceding possession.

COACHING TIP: ADDING ELEVATION AND SPIN
To add elevation to your shot, power it up for longer (but beware of overpowering) and
move the left stick to add sidespin, topspin, or backspin. Topspin can be employed to
bring a ball down quickly (e.g., after it has cleared the wall).

COACHING TIP: PENALTIES
Aiming:
By default, you start aiming at the middle of the goal. From the moment you start
powering up for a shot, you can move the left stick to aim anywhere inside the goal. The
longer you hold the left stick in any particular direction, the farther your shot goes in that
direction. Be careful with how long you hold the left stick, as letting go too soon results in a
shot closer to the middle of the goal, and holding it for too long causes you to miss the goal.
Saving: Committing to a save direction early allows you to reach farther and save shots
close to the corner of the goals. However, diving farther to the side makes it more difficult
to save shots aimed toward the middle of the goal.
If you think the kick taker is going for placement rather than power, you can try to react to
the shot by holding the right stick in any direction after the ball has been kicked.

SKILL MOVES
Skills moves can be performed by all players. The type of skill your player can execute
depends on his skill level. A player with the highest skill level can perform the most difficult
and effective skills in the game, whereas a player with a lower skill level will attempt a simpler
version of a trick or may altogether fail in his attempt of that skill. The speed at which a skill
move is executed depends on your player’s agility attribute. For example, an agile player like
Cristiano Ronaldo can perform skills at a much quicker pace than a player with lower agility.
All of the skills are broken down into five levels of difficulty. One-star moves are the most basic
and can be performed by all players in the game. Two-, three-, and four-star moves can be
done by players who are relatively skillful in real life. Five-star moves can only be performed by
the most skilled footballers such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar. These players are able to
do the most impressive skills and tricks in FIFA 13.
NOTE: The controls listed below assume that the controlled player is moving vertically
upwards and should be amended depending on your player’s direction.
