EA Sports FC 24: How to Do a Chipped (Panenka) Penalty

by Fernando Diaz / Articles, EA Sports FC 24 / 04 Jul 2023

The Panenka? Man, that’s a move that’s smooth as butter. Named after the Czech legend Antonin Panenka, this is a penalty kick that’s all about finesse. Forget about smashing the ball; this move is all about chipping it down the middle like you just don’t care, watching the keeper take a dive to the side, and then grinning as the ball sails into the net.

First pulled off back in ’76, this bad boy is all about deception and flair. But don’t think it’s all show and no substance. Done right, it’s a match-winner.

How to Make that Panenka Shine?

Alright you want to pull off this sweet move? You gotta follow these steps, my friend:

Pick the Right Player: Shooting power? Forget about it. You want someone with good penalty attributes. That’ll make the shot cursor go slow and smooth.

Set It Up: You wanna hold down L1 if you’re on PlayStation, or LB if you’re rocking the Xbox. Then, tap that Circle/B button but keep it chill – don’t exceed 2 bars. You’re not trying to launch a rocket here.

Watch the Keeper: If that goalie jumps to one side, you know you’ve got ’em. Just watch that ball glide into the goal, smooth as silk.

Tips & Tricks for the Pros

Add Some Spice: Once you’ve got the basics, add some flair. You can aim to the sides too if you’re feeling spicy.

Don’t Get Cocky: Be careful, though. If that keeper guesses what you’re up to, it’s gonna be an easy save.

Mind the Stats: Don’t try this with someone who’s got low attributes on the penalty. It’s like trying to show off with a dance move you can’t pull off… You’re gonna get caught.
