However, there are two tips you should keep in mind before attempting any flashy pass. The first one is to know your passer well. If you’re about to execute a pass with a player who doesn’t have good passing statistics, the ball is most likely to end up in the crowd.

The other factor to consider is the position of the receivers, if they are under intense defensive pressure, the pass is at a high risk of being intercepted. If the team loses possession of the ball, the play will likely end in quick points for the opposing team.
