The EA FC 24 new skill moves will ensure you have more than enough tools in your arsenal to not only beat defenders, but utterly humiliate your opponents in the most outrageous ways possible. In this guide you’ll not only find the EA FC 24 new skill moves that have been added to this year’s game on PC, PlayStation, Switch, and Xbox, but tweaks to existing moves and how to perform them.
Ahead of this year’s EA FC 24 release date, EA has revealed a lot about all of the new and exciting features coming to its rebranded soccer game, including EA FC 24 PlayStyles and EA FC 24 Ultimate Team Evolutions. While we can expect to see the formula largely unchanged overall, we’re glad to see the developer is innovating here and there. This is also visible in the skills department, as you can see below.
EA FC 24 new skill moves
Here are the EA FC 24 new skill moves and how to perform them, according to EA:
- Ball Roll Drag (four-star) – Hold L1 + Flick RS Forward, Left/Right / Hold LB + Flick RS Forward, Left/Right
- Drag Back Turn (four-star) – Hold L2 + Hold RS Back / Hold LT + Hold RS Back
- Flair Nutmegs (four-star) – Hold L1 + R1 + Flick RS Direction / Hold LB + RB + Flick RS Direction
- Flair Rainbow (five-star) – Hold L1 + RS Back, Forward / Hold LB + RS Back, Forward
- Trickster Flicks – R3 + LS in desired direction
- Trickster Ball Roll – L2 + R2 / LT + RT from standing
- Trickster Ball Catch – LT + Fake Shot / LT + Fake Shot from standing
With the introduction of the Trickster PlayStyle, EA has switched-up a few specific moves from FIFA 23, making them exclusive to players who excel in 1v1 situations in the process. This in itself is a massive change, as you’ll now have to be more aware of what specific players do on the pitch when deciding how you wish to proceed up the pitch.
As you can see in the showcase video above, the likes of Diogo Jota, Erling Haaland, and Vinícius Júnior will all have at least four-star skills – the latter of the trio unsurprisingly retaining his five-star skills.
Should you use the EA FC 24 new skill moves?
Adding any skill move into your EA FC 24 repertoire is always a good move – granted you can utilize them in the right place at the right time. This is especially true with brand new skills, which in previous EA soccer games have often proven to be mighty means of dismantling opponents. FIFA 23’s heel to ball roll is good example of this.
For EA FC 24, we can definitely see the rapid change in movement afforded by the ball roll drag and drag back being worthy pieces of utility to pick up. Meanwhile, nutmegs and rainbow flicks are perfect for ensuring the red mist descends on the poor soul you’re playing against.
While you might not quite start out with five-star skillers like Vinícius Júnior, most of the new skills are accessible to four-star skillers, which is a much broader array of players.
And that’s all you need to know about the EA FC 24 new skill moves. Now you know how to utilize the skills to pay the bills, you’ll be able to gleefully rinse your opponents, be it in EA FC 24 Ultimate Team, EA FC 24 Pro Clubs, or even in the EA FC 24 Career Mode. Just try not to make them forfeit too quickly.
