Yup scored a couple with backheel assists from Brazil players here on Xbox too & still 0/5. Others elsewhere saying it has to be a specific backheel animation to count. Because backheel assists aren’t bad enough anyway.
Side note from the not registering issue: do EA not understand that majority of players even in UT are casual type players who 99% of the time don’t ever use backheel passes?
update: so it does count when it wants to. Somehow after around 30 or so games I’m at 3/5 now. Still not great considering that’s 1 every 10 games for a Celebration event. Casual players don’t always have time to grind out 50+ matches for this kinda stuff. Supposed to be a birthday celebration event not a sweaty grind event. Oh and this is fielding a team of 9 Brazilians (My LB and GK being the only non Brazilians)
Honestly I think thats why they do it, to annoy their own players
If EA thought they could get away with it, it would be
Pass the ball 1812638378 times in a row before crossing with a player from Ecuador rated no higher than 56 and then chip the goalkeeper from your own half while standing on your head.
They seem to think this is "fun" or a "challenge" when they are literally telling people to use a move the game itself does not tell you how to perform.
