FC 24 Dribbling: Controlling the Ball

Controlling the Ball (Dribbling)

A key aspect of football is your mastery of controlling the ball at your feet, so like other aspects of EA SPORTS FC™ 24, we want to give you more control over how you express your footwork.

Effort Dribble Touch

Effort Dribble Touch is a new mechanic in EA SPORTS FC™ 24 that allows you to quickly knock the ball in any direction and set up your next move. This is a great tool for moving the ball out of the path of your opponent’s feet, or to take a defender by surprise with a Controlled First Touch when used as your first touch of the ball.

An Effort Dribble Touch can be performed while dribbling or as a first touch, making it a versatile attacking weapon.

To request an Effort Dribble Touch:

  • Press R1 + Right Stick || RB + Right Stick for an Effort Touch.
  • A quick flick with the Right Stick will result in a shorter distance knock on the ball while holding Right Stick will knock the ball a greater distance.

Effort Dribble Touch can be used to cancel Passes and Shots.

Orbit Dribble

Orbit Dribble allows you to move around the ball without taking a touch. Use this to adjust your body position and set yourself on your stronger foot for the best shot or pass opportunity. This can also be used to draw in your opponent and combined with Effort Dribble to outmanoeuvre your opponent.

To perform an Orbit Dribble:

  • Hold L2 + L1 + LS || Hold LT + LB + LS to start moving around the ball.
  • Can be turned on/off in the settings menu.

Controlled Sprint

Controlled Sprint introduces a new dribbling speed that is faster than a Jog, but slower than fully Sprinting. Controlled Sprint has more controlled touches, keeping the ball closer to your player.

To perform Controlled Sprint:

  • Hold R1 || Hold RB.
  • Your player’s Dribble and Sprint Speed attributes will affect your speed and control over the ball.

Additional Controlling the Ball Changes

  • Backpedal Traps – Added several new animations with increased directional coverage.
  • Head Traps – Added multiple new head-controlled Trapping animations.
    • Header Accuracy attribute now affects your accuracy and control of Head Traps.

Input changes

  • Agile Dribble input has been changed to L2 + R2 + LS || LT + RT + LS.
    • From R1 + LS || RB + LS.
  • Slow Dribble input has been changed to  L2 + R1 + LS || LT + RB + LS.
    • From L2 + R2 + LS || LT + RT + LS
