How to Do a Low Driven Shot in EA Sports FC 24

by Fernando Diaz / Articles, EA Sports FC 24 / 15 Mar 2023

Before we dive deep, let’s clear the air. What is a low driven shot? It’s like that sweet spot between a finesse shot and a power shot, keeping the ball low and hard, hugging the turf, and sliding right past that pesky keeper. In real football, players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Mo Salah have made a habit of using this shot type when they’re up-close and personal with the goalie, aiming for those tight corners where it’s hard for the goalkeeper to reach.

Alright, So How Do I Do This in FC 24?

Now that you’re schooled on what a low driven shot is, let’s talk about how you can execute this killer move in EA Sports FC 24. I get it, it’s a new game, new mechanics but the core idea remains the same…

First make sure you’re coming in hot and at a decent angle. Too straight and you’re giving the keeper a gift. Too wide and you’re just showing off for the stands.

If you’re on Xbox, lightly hold down that B button. PlayStation folks, it’s the circle button for you. When you see that shooting power bar pop up, you gotta finesse it. Aim to charge up to about a quarter – 25% of that bar.

Here’s the tricky part: Don’t get all Hulk on it. Too much power and that ball’s skyrocketing into the stands or straight into the keeper’s hands. Too little, and it’s like passing the ball to the keeper. Be cool, be calm, and find that sweet spot.

Tips

Positioning is Key: Best used when you’re inside the box. Forget about it if you’re thinking from long range.

Player Selection: Use a player with a high finishing stat. The higher the finishing, the more clinical your shots will be.

1v1 Situations: These shots shine brightest when you’re one-on-one with the keeper…

Go Around the Keeper: If you’re feeling spicy, try dribbling around the keeper and then taking that low driven shot. Throw in some skill moves like the ball roll or heel-to-ball roll, and you’re golden.
