EA Sports FC 24 skill moves can unlock defences like nothing else. And sure, you can probably pass your way to goal – but isn't it far more fun to showboat?
Over the years, skill moves have evolved and then some in FIFA. What begun as a modest part of gameplay to buy space has turned into a full catalogue of spins, juggles and feints. If you're going to get anywhere, you need to be able to master a few of these.
