EA Sports FC 24: How to Do Every Cross

by Fernando Diaz / Articles, EA Sports FC 24 / 11 Mar 2023

Crossing is all about sliding the ball inside the box so your teammate can smack it into the net. Picture it like a killer alley-oop in basketball but on grass. Your wingers will bolt down the side, dodge those pesky defenders, and pop the ball right where you need it. Headers, volleys, tap-ins – it’s all on the menu.

But remember, just spamming crosses ain’t the vibe. It’s like making a mixtape – gotta pick the right track for the moment… Keep it fresh, and switch up your crosses. Now let’s get into the types of crosses in FC 24.

Lob Pass

So you’re running down the flank, and you’re thinking, “I need to get this ball in the box.” That’s when you hit ’em with the Lob Pass. It’s basic but effective. You just press X if you’re on Xbox, Square on PlayStation, and A on the keyboard. The trick is timing & power. Don’t just mash that button make sure you’ve got a runner in the box and give it the right oomph…

Low Cross

This ain’t high and mighty. It’s low, quick, and slick. Great for when your forwards are beating their defenders in a footrace. Controls:

Xbox: Double tap X PlayStation: Double tap Square Keyboard: Double tap A

High Lob

Sometimes you gotta put some air under it, ya know? The High Lob is your go-to for when you wanna chip that ball into the box and give your forwards time to position themselves. Press LB+X on Xbox, L1+Square on PlayStation, and Q+A on the keyboard. A couple of bars of power should do the trick.

Flair Lob

Ready to show off? The Flair Lob is all about style. You might see a Rabona or some other flashy move. To execute this, hit LT+X on Xbox, L2+Square on PlayStation, and C+A on the keyboard. Players like Neymar and Sancho shine here. Aim for 2-3 bars of power and get ready to clip that moment for socials.

Driven Cross

When you gotta be pinpoint accurate, the Driven Cross is your best friend. To nail this, press RB+X on Xbox, RT+Square on PlayStation, and Z+A on the keyboard. This cross is deadly if executed right, putting the ball at volley height for a killer finish.

Classic Overhead Cross

The bread and butter, fam. Just Square/X it into the box and let your forwards do the rest. Keep an eye on the power so you don’t send that ball into orbit, though.

High Cross

The High Cross gives the ball a different trajectory, flying higher and falling slower. For this, hit L1+Square or LB+X. Good for when you need a different angle and have time to position your players.

Ground Cross

When you spot a runner in the box and you wanna keep it on the ground, hit ’em with a Ground Cross by pressing 2 * Square or 2 * X. Great for crowded boxes.

Blind Cross

Throw off your opponents by launching a Blind Cross with L1+R1+Square or LB+RB+X. It’s hard for defenders to predict where it’s going…

Signature Cross

For when you wanna flex those skills. It’s slow but flashy.

How to? L2+Square or LT+X.
