Your EA Sports FC 24 skill moves can get you out of jams, with the Explosive Fake Shot not only one of the simplest to master but potentially one of the most effective.
This was a brand-new move added to FIFA 23, which can enable you to not only fool your opponents with a feign but by yourself some time and space with which to actually use the ball. Players use a fake shot in real life, too, particularly when they're in or around the penalty area and they're looking to make a goalkeeper dive before actually taking a shot – so if you're playing against a real person, you might want to try and catch them off-guard.

EA Sports FC 24 skill moves: How can I do an Explosive Fake Shot?
Explosive fake shot is a new skill move that requires above 85 acceleration and sprint speed.
To use this skill move you have to be running: then complete a fake shot at a 90-degree angle – hit Circle/B then Cross/A plus your direction.
This move allows you to exit into a 90-degree angle, but more importantly, it gives you a speed boost when exiting, which can enable you to beat a defender who is running alongside you or create an angle inside the box to take a shot.
It's also effective when the goalkeeper is coming out: you can use the Explosive Fake Shot to take the ball around him when you are running.
