In EA Sports FC 24 you can use a new way to dribble. This is currently considered very strong. We show you how it works.
This is the dribbling: In EA Sports FC 24 there is a new gameplay mechanic called Controlled Sprint
. It is a kind of intermediate form between normal running and full sprinting.
The big advantage of this mechanic is that it gives you a very good combination of speed and ball control. This results in a new type of dribbling that can extremely help you navigate through the opponent’s defense. With quick, controlled movements, it is possible to easily maneuver around opponents.
This technique is currently being newly discovered by many players and is already considered by some as a new OP mechanic that you should master.
How to use the dribbling: You activate the Controlled Sprint
by pressing the R1/RB button while steering your running direction with the left stick.
Then it just takes some practice to get into the new movement pattern and really maneuver around opponents. However, there are a few details you can pay attention to.
In addition to the new controlled sprint, the gameplay brings even more innovations:
Getting the most out of the controlled sprint
Sudden change of direction: Basically, you can already make small movement adjustments by simply running slightly to the left or right with the left stick while holding R1/RB. However, if you want to make a quick turn to the side, such as at a 90-degree angle, use the right stick for that.
Then you activate the effort-dribbling touch, which allows you to incorporate sudden movements into your running path. How to do that is shown by EA Sports in the pitch notes (via ea.com):
The right players: Basically, you can use the controlled sprint with all players in the game. However, some have this technique better than others. They need the PlayStyle or the PlayStyle+ called Technical
.
The PlayStyle Technical
provides higher speed with controlled sprints and allows for more precise turns while dribbling. The PlayStyle+ version increases both.
With this PlayStyle, players can even make up for some speed even when their pace is not that high.
So when you get new players, check if they possibly have this PlayStyle. Usually, these are players that come with high dribbling values and do not necessarily rely on strong skill moves – although that is not a complete exclusion criterion.
A good example of this is Bernardo Silva, who is one of the best options for the controlled sprint.
By incorporating the new sprint into your gameplay, you could gain an advantage against your opponents’ defense. Depending on which players you field in your team, the new dribbling is an extremely strong weapon in offensive play.
