How to do penalty shootouts in EA Sports FC 24
When setting up your lineup for a penalty shootout, there are a lot of different philosophies. They generally involve five shots. Anything more is uncommon, and anything less is also uncommon. Therefore, your five best shooters should be in that five or else they may be wasted.
You can do one of two things. You can start with your best or you can save them for last. It depends on you and what you want to do. Generally speaking, it’s best if you start with good players. You don’t want to have your lesser offensive players up first because if they miss, your good ones at the end of the line might not come in.
A lot of teams will start with their best shooter. Lionel Messi, Erling Haaland, and others are the first off the line. After that, it can be in any order. Starting with a make is vital in football from a mental standpoint, but it’s not as important for FC 24. It just matters to hit as many as you can.
How to take a penalty shot
Taking a penalty kick is rather simple. Start by using the left stick to aim your shot using the reticle. When you are ready to kick the ball, press the circle button on PlayStation, B button on Xbox, or A button on Nintendo Switch.
The composure ring under the ball will start to shrink. Press the same button again when the composure ring is green. This will allow you to get a more precise shot at the goal.
