Skill moves will be as important as ever in EA FC 25, and there are four completely new additions alongside a number of adjustments to add to your repertoire. Check out the full list of new skill moves below!
All new skill moves in EA FC 25
- Big Feint (2-star)
- Stop and Go (2-star)
- Step Over Ball (4-star)
- Toe Drag Stepover (5-star)
It's hard to know how effective each of these will really be until they're usable in-game, but they all look like they could definitely make their way into an effective skiller's bag of tricks.
The Big Fient and Toe Drag Stepover look particularly effective to me, offering changes in direction and subtle deception, which is exactly what you want from a skill move.
How to do every new skill move
Big Feint
- Hold L2/LT and flick the Right Stick left or right, moving the left stick in the direction of exit
Stop and Go
- Hold L2/LT, flick the Right Stick back then forward
- Can be cancelled
Step Over Ball
- Hold L1/LB and flick the Right Stick forward, then left or right
- Can be cancelled
Toe Drag Stepover
- Hold L1/LB, then rotate the Right Stick right, back, then left / or rotate the Right Stick left, back, then right
Of course, you'll need to also make sure that the player that you're attempting the skill with clears the required skill move rating - especially if you're attempting the more challenging Step Over Ball or Toe Drag Stepover at four and five stars respectively.
