passing power gage cracks me up

[Kevthedrummer]

Has anyone else noticed that with the addition of the power gage when passing from a free kick.... it's no different when you tap it and have almost no gage at all than when you hold it down hoping for a more powerful pass? It really makes me laugh... everytime, maybe I am a little sad but everytime the ball does the same thing when you kick it, it goes straight into the wall or 9 times out of 12 it goes to an opposition.......

I've noticed this, freekicks and I see alot of unmarked teammates so I hold the passing gauge till the full to avoid passing to the closest player, but everytime I do it, it just to the closest player, It's basically the same as tapping it, didn't see any point in the passing gauge.

I'm thinking it was to add to the "new features" list

I always thought the reason for it was so that the opponent couldn't tell what you were about to do. It's a psych manuever.

When you are playing online, I don't think they can see the power bar though, so it wouldn't really be effective.

You should do a quick shot/lob and dink it to your player in space....
