In EA Sports FC 24, a Power Shot refers to when a player aims for the goal with a set-up strike.

How to Power Shot in EA Sports FC 24

To perform a Power Shot, hold the right and left triggers and press the shot button. On PlayStation, the formula is R1 + L1 + Circle. On Xbox, it is LB + RB + B. The longer you hold the shot button (Circle or B), the more powerful your shot will be.

Note that Power Shots in FC 24 feature slower animations that may cause frame drops. When attempting such a shot, be aware that your player will momentarily slow down, providing your opponent with an opportunity to tackle the ball away.

How to Aim a Power Shot

The key to landing precise Power Shots is keeping the left joystick steady. As a general rule, align your player with the center of the goal (or penalty box) before taking the shot. However, just before the player strikes the ball, adjust the joystick slightly upwards or downwards, depending on your desired corner target.

Aiming Power Shots has two parts:

  • Taming. When you attempt the shot, you must tame the power. Power Shots disable assisted aiming, requiring you to aim your shot manually. After pressing L1 + R1 + Circle, promptly adjust the white aiming line toward the center of the goal box.
  • Targeting. After controlling the power, it’s time to target. Just before the ball is struck, apply a slight curl to the left or right, directing it towards one of the corners.

Typically, three bars of power are sufficient to execute an accurate Power-Up Shot. However, the force you apply to the ball depends on your distance from the penalty box.

Tips for Scoring with Power Shots

Despite their risk, Power Shots are an excellent means of scoring goals in FC 24. To exploit this technique, have these tips in mind:

  • Cancel into a Power Shot. Press the shot button, then quickly follow up with X (A on Xbox). This action will cancel your initial attempt, deceiving the defenders into tackling. Subsequently, you will have an opportunity to execute your Power Shot.
  • Surprise the defensive opponent. If the opposing defenders are tucked back near the penalty box, exploit the open space by scoring with Power Shots.
  • Aim for the center. Since Power Shots are easy to miss, aim for the center of the penalty box and give a slight curl at the last moment.
  • Use Power Shots as a penalty trap. During the brief moment when your player drifts back for a Power Shot, there's a chance for the opponent to mistakenly tackle your legs instead of the ball. Use this trick to trigger more penalties.
