I use 0 pass assistance and i use manual shooting 70% of the time, but when one on one with the keeper and on finesse shot i wont use it.
This is because i find it less responsive and less accurate for some reason.
The other thing is try using the guidance arrow i find it to be more responsive when passing, when shooting outside the box, heading and shooting from some angles in the box.
If you want to use manual shooting all the time, then learn different types of shooting, i sometimes use the x/pass button when one on one.
