I find the passing much quicker and more realistic compared to '14. In FIFA 14 you really had to hold down the pass button for a long time to ping it quickly to another player.
I do however agree with other people that it's actually easier to dribble through the whole team with a quick player...
I know what you mean, but I think it's just different to previous FIFA's.
I've had numerous games online in Seasons, where I've had all the chances and convert maybe one or two, and the guy I'm playing has had 2 or 3 chances and managed to convert them all! I'm not sure if it's just that...
