All the shots are the same whether you are playing male or female athletes. Simply flick the right stick in a direction to help you control the ball better and get a more accurate shot. Some of the speed of the ball will come from your sprint speed so be sure to choose an athlete who is fast. This is valid for Career Mode (player career or manager career), Ultimate Team (FUT), Volta Football, Pro Clubs, and more. Take your scoring to a new level with this.
You can change your playstyle from someone who uses acceleration to score to someone who tries power shots from outside the box. It’s all about finding what works for you. Make sure your first touch is a good one and secure a copy of the game, out on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5.
