How can you run over the ball during a free kick in the new EA FC 24 and fake it? Which button can you use to request a second player and thus shoot or lay the ball up indirectly? One or two players of the new EA Sports FC 24 who haven’t played FIFA for a while and are currently getting used to the new free kick controls may be dealing with these questions in the last few days. In this short guide, we’ll show you how to fake free kicks and call additional shooters.
Free kick run over the ball
Before you can fake a free kick and run over the ball, you first have to call a second player or shooter. To do this, in the standard situation you press the L2 button (PlayStation) or the LT button (Xbox). If the second player is standing behind the ball, you can now let him run over the ball by pressing the L2 button and circle button and then canceling the shot using the X button.
- PS5 and PS4: L2 button + Circle button and then X button
- Xbox Series and One: LT button + B button and then A button
You can also call a third shooter by pressing the R2 button (PlayStation) or the RT button (Xbox) when taking a free kick. If you want both players to run over the ball during a free kick, you have to press the back right shoulder button instead of the back left shoulder button for the third shooter.
