In FC 24, the power shot is currently very much in the spotlight because with its help, you can acquire a strong player. But that’s not the only reason you should have the power shot in your repertoire. We’ll show you how to execute it.
What is the power shot? Its debut was in FIFA 23. As the name suggests, the power shot is the hardest and fastest ball you can shoot on goal in the game.
Significant is the long preparation before the ball leaves your foot. When you charge the power shot, the camera zooms in on your player and shows the slow winding motion until the complete execution.
But besides this limitation, the power shot can be a strong weapon for your game. If you have given it little attention until now, now would be the perfect time to practice.
The power shot in FC 24: Key combination for execution
How do you perform the power shot? The power shot is easy to execute in the game. Hold L1 and R1 on the PlayStation or LB and RB on the Xbox while charging a shot. The longer you hold the shoot button, the sharper and higher the ball will fly towards the goal.
You should not overdo the charging, otherwise your power shot will land in the stands.
What makes the power shot more complicated than other shots is the manual aiming. You must aim precisely in the direction with the left analog stick where you want your ball to fly while charging. Here a steady hand and some practice are required. The thrill of the first goals when the ball flies into the net at over 100 km/h will reward your efforts.
3 advantages of the power shot for your game
- Goal threat from distance: The power shot also makes you a goal threat outside the box. It increases the likelihood of scoring a goal from distance.
- More precise finishes: Since you do not receive any help when aiming but must control it manually, you can ideally place power shots better than normal goal shots.
- Interrupted power shots as a feint: You can also interrupt the power shot while charging (L2+R2 on the PlayStation/LT+RT on the Xbox). This way, you can outsmart your opponents.
With the power shot, you can shoot a legend
Why is training with the power shot worthwhile? In the objectives, you will find Robin van Persie, one of many new event players that have been introduced as part of the new Golazo event.
The Dutchman was famous for his often spectacular goals, which he frequently scored with a powerful shot. Therefore, one task you must complete for Golazo van Persie is to score 4 goals with a power shot. Once you have completed this and all other tasks, the junior version of van Persie will be yours.
Thus, you would have an additional incentive to practice the power shot. In another article, we have thoroughly introduced you to the other shooting variants in EA FC 24: Cut shot, Flair shot and co. – These finishes guarantee many goals
