This year is no different from previous years when it comes to EA introducing exciting skill moves andnew celebrationsfor gamers to try out. InEA Sports FC 25, the creators have included four brand-new skill moves to the series (and slightly adjusted some already existing ones). The newly added skill moves have a mix of 2-star moves up to 5-star, ensuring something new for every player in the game.
All New Skill Moves & How To Perform Them
A total of four new skill moves are included inEA Sports FC 25:
Big Feint (2-Star Skill Move)
The first skill move is a 2-star skill move that can be performed bymost of the playersin the game. The main motive of this move is to trick the opponents into thinking that your player will be moving in one direction and bait them to commit defensively.
To perform the Big Feint, flick yourRS left or right(whatever direction you want to fake) whileholding L2/LT. Once the player starts performing the step-over,point your LS in the opposite directionto exit. By deceiving the opposing team’s defender into making a tackle to one side, you can use this maneuver to open a gap on the other side and run open.
Stop And Go (2-Star Skill Move)
Next comes another 2-starbeginner-friendlyskill move where your player will slow down while dribbling, fake a turnaround to bait the opponents, and then sprint past the defender.
To start this skill move, dribble whileholding down L2/LTandmove the RS backward. To trick your opponent’s defense into believing you are turning to the other side, your player will halt with the ball in the initial phase of the move and turn around in the other direction. If done right, the defender will commit the mistake of charging toward your rear. Once they respond to your move and charge, you willfind an opening toward your frontto utilize.
Step Over Ball (4-Star Skill Move)
Now for a more challenging skill move: Step Over Ball, a 4-star move that appears relatively straightforward but might be a valuable addition to your meta-skill arsenal. With this action, your player can step over and turn 270 degrees toward the exit while guarding the ball.
Holding L1/LB, move theRS forwardto execute a turnaround while moving forward. Immediately after,move the RS to the left or rightto leave from either side. This move works best when you anticipate a defender charging from behind toward your front. you may immediately cut back (L1/LT + RS forward) and leave in the direction of the gap created (RS L/R) as soon as the defender commits their tackle.
Toe Drag Stepover (5-Star Skill Move)
The last move, Toe Drag Stepover, is a 5-star skill move that can only be performed bythe best playerswith a five-star skill rating. Like most skill maneuvers, the toe drag stepover is to lure the opposition into opening a space that allows you to dribble past.
To execute this skill move,hold L1/LB,move the RS Left/Right(the direction you wish to fake),rotate the RS toward the back, and then continue torotate the RS towards Right/Leftin the opposite direction from your initial direction (backward to complete a turnaround, and L/R to leave that direction).
