Only use the through pass when there is space in front of your player so the pass won't get intercepted, otherwise, stick to the normal pass.

Sometimes it's best to drag defenders out of position so you can create space to make the through pass.

In my opinion the best thing that programmers could do is:
we could choose the direction and strengh of passes and shots, so the problem of bad passes could be rectified by our experience. Actually the passes are "manipulated" and auto-directional (which is a stupid thing) and automatically the oponnenent knows where the ball goes and can intercept the pass.

A good example for the resolution of this problem is: INTERNATIONAL SOCCER!

Yes... international soccer made for spectrum and commodore amiga many years ago, but they were addicted and everything were controlled by us! Wonderful game and if we could join this events to the grafics of actual FIFA we could have a fantastic game which we couldn't stop playing~!

This was an example, but i hope everyone could give more ideas!

That'd do good! Shot power bar is a good improvement why not pass power bar? I also liked the through passes made in FIFA 99 and before! They were much more creative because the ball was kicked through a path that there's no opponent waiting for the ball and also it was the path that my player was running towards to! In Fifas 2000 and 2001 the passers are kinda blind the only think of the path that their teammate is running to they do not see the markers on the way of the ball...Which is unrealistic!!!

I just go crazy! Everytime I see a player run for a counter attack I use that crappy through pass ****, but what happens is always a goddamn opponent predicts my pass and gets the ball!!! It either happens because the through pass is thrown too near to my running player or the opponent knows everything about the future!!! Did anybody find solutions to this problem?
