In EA FC 25, being good at skill moves can make a lot of difference in your chances to win a game.
While all cards inside the game can perform skill moves, there are differences in efficiency. Not every card will be able to perform a 5-star skill, for example. But having a footballer with 4-star or 5-star skill moves is just one part of the job. You’ll still need to learn the controls, and master the timing/placement accept to pull it off successfully. In this guide, we will go through the complete list of skills along with their controls.
Disclaimer: The controls are based on a PlayStation controller.
