EA FC 24 skill moves list: All tricks & how to do them
EA SPORTS Update 2 finally fixes Ultimate Team menu problems.
EA FC 24 includes four fresh skill moves and nearly 70 returning favorites that will help you refine your techniques in the training arena. Here are all the skill moves to master space creation and develop advanced passing skills in the game.
In EA FC 24, players are grouped based on their dribbling prowess, rated on a scale of 1 to 5 stars, with the top tier designated for highly skilled and flashy footballers.
However, not every five-star skilled player has the same real-life skills, so to help make dribbling feel more authentic, the game introduced Playstyles that bring to life the abilities of football’s biggest stars. Let’s jump into the full EA FC 24 skill moves list to see those tricks and more.

EA FC 24 3-star skill moves

4-star skill moves

5-star skill moves
Sometimes, you will feel like you are pulling off a combo in a fighting game rather than playing EA FC 24 while using these skill moves. However, 5-star skills are only reserved for the best dribbles in the game, and that special honor comes with the added benefit of ankle-breaking skills.
