FC 24 Power Shots

Power Shots are a new skill based shot type that add extra power and accuracy to a shot at the cost of time and a higher degree of input precision.

Here’s how to perform a Power Shot:

  • Press L1+R1+O on PlayStation controllers || LB+RB+B  on Xbox controllers

To be successful with Power Shots, players need to consider the following:

  • Plenty of space around the ball carrier is usually needed, as each Power Shots requires a significant wind up.
  • Aiming generally needs to be more precise, since Power Shots do not behave like default Assisted Shots and rely heavily on the player’s aim to be successful.

Our intent with the addition of Power Shots is to introduce an additional layer of skill to shooting, designed so that players who manage to carve out their own space and aim precisely are rewarded for doing so.

The following Attributes impact Power Shots the most:

  • Shot Power, Finishing (if taken inside of the box) or Long Shots (if taken outside of the box) and Composure.
  • These Attributes not only impact the accuracy of Power Shots, but also the speed and aim precision required from the player.
  • The higher the aforementioned Attributes, the better a player can be at taking a Power Shot.

First-time or volleyed Power Shots interact with the new Composed Ball Striking system, allowing players to control the ball first and then immediately perform a powerful shot animation.

Advantages and disadvantages of the Power Shot in FC 24

The Power Shot arrives in FC 24 as one more option to the rest of the shooting catalog, both in the past and in the current generation. When you execute it, the player will go through the entire animation while he sets up the shooting leg. During this period the aiming will be manual, in other words, without any help: the ball will shoot violently towards the direction in which you move the left stick of your controller.

You will know you have taken a shot when the camera zooms in on your player. Usually, these shots end in a goal, especially in one-on-one situations. Their main disadvantage is the time it takes to set up the leg. The two-second window means that an opposing defender can block the direction of the shot, or steal the ball in front of him if he is even closer to the striker.

Our recommendation? Use the power shot as a resource, not as your main shooting mechanic. You won’t always have a chance if there is no defender pressing around you. It works best in the middle of a counterattack when you can take advantage of the spaces in your favor. Something you also have to consider is that it will be much easier to score with this skill if your player has high Shot Power, Finishing, Long Shot, and Composure attributes.
