Welcome, gamers! Today we're diving deep into the art of finishing in FC 24, where every shot counts, and mastering the new mechanics can significantly boost your scoring abilities. Whether you're a seasoned player or new to the series, understanding these techniques will help you convert more chances and dominate the scoreboard.
Understanding Precision Shooting
What is Precision Shooting?
Precision Shooting is a new feature in FC 24 that allows for more accurate and faster shots. This mechanic lets you control the exact placement of your shots using a visible aiming indicator.
How to Enable Precision Shooting:
-
Go to Settings.
-
Navigate to Game Settings.
-
Scroll down to Shooting options.
-
Set your Shot Assistance to Precision.
When you attempt a shot on goal, you'll see a small arrow indicating the direction of your shot. This direction is controlled by your left analog stick, allowing for precise aiming. Precision shots are more accurate compared to assisted shots, especially when aiming for tight corners.
Mastering Low Driven Shots
What Changed This Year?
The mechanics for low driven shots have been tweaked. This year, the power bar must be below 30% to keep the shot low. Shots with power above 30% will have height.
Execution Tips:
-
Use low driven shots primarily inside the box.
-
Aim for less than 30% power to "pass" the ball into the net.
-
These shots are great for placement but avoid using them from far out due to reduced power.
The Power of Power Shots
Executing Power Shots:
Power shots are effective for long-range efforts. Execute a power shot by:
-
Holding L1 + R1 (or LB + RB on Xbox).
-
Pressing the shoot button.
Like precision shots, you aim with the left stick. Power shots have a wind-up animation, but they are highly effective due to their increased power and accuracy.
Tips for Assisted Shooting
Even if you opt for assisted shooting, remember:
-
Goalkeepers are more adept at making saves in FC 24.
-
Aim for low power shots within the box, targeting across the goal.
-
Near-post shots are surprisingly effective when you have the right angle.
Advanced Techniques and Play Styles
Quick Release Shots:
Quick release shots can be executed by pressing the shoot button early. This causes your player to shoot with the earliest possible animation, useful for quick responses near the goal.
Finesse and Power Traits:
-
Players like Alex Morgan with a Finesse Shot trait are ideal for bending shots around defenders.
-
Power traits reduce the wind-up time for power shots, making players like Cristiano Ronaldo invaluable for long-range strikes.
Final Tips: Positioning and Angles
-
Always face towards the goal when shooting. The ideal angles are between the 2:00 and 4:00 positions on the field.
-
Try to maintain a 45° angle to the goal for the most effective finesse shots.
-
Utilize green time shots sparingly; while they can increase accuracy, they require perfect timing and may not always guarantee success.
Mastering these finishing techniques in FC 24 can transform your gameplay, allowing you to realize your potential as a top scorer. Remember, practice is key to perfecting these skills.
