EA Sports FC 24: Tips and Tricks

1. Playing the ball: There are many ways to play the ball with precision in EA FC 24, such as short and long ground passes, perpendicular passes, and more. The key element is to maintain the pace and control the force of the pass so as not to disrupt the flow of team play. Make sure you are properly positioned before making the pass.
2. Crossing: The classic cross (Square/X) is often the best option to get the ball into the opponent's penalty area in EA FC 24. Remember to perform the cross with sufficient power so that the ball doesn't fly outside the pitch.
3. Shots: In EA Sports FC 24 you have many options for taking shots on goal, including finesse shots, technical shots, aerial shots, etc. However, the classic shot (Circle/B) is often the best choice. Remember to aim well and dose the power so that the ball lands in the goal.
4. Offense: When playing offense in EA FC 24, use different strategies to break down the opponent's defense and reach the penalty area. Combine short and long passes with team play and perpendicular passes.
5. Defense: It's worth avoiding fouling players in the penalty area. Standard pickup (X/A) is a safe way to steal the ball from the opponent, which rarely ends in a judge's intervention. Another effective technique is Jockey (L2/LT), which helps to take the ball away from the opponent.
6. Sprint: Remember that constant sprinting will quickly deplete your player's stamina and make it difficult to control the ball. Cautious use of sprint is especially important in the middle of the pitch, where the density of players is the highest.
