Tips & Guides
- Timing counts. Some finishing moves trigger only next to adboards or at certain orientations — test them in Kick-Off.
- Mix it up. Use running moves after fast counters and finishing moves after tap-ins or long-range screamers to match the moment.
- Unlock Pro & EAS moves. If you want the rare animations (backflips, High Kick, etc.), chase the unlock conditions — they set you apart.
- Be social. Use GameChat or local play to show off sync celebrations with friends — they’re great for clips and streams.
- Avoid the penalty box. Flashy celebrations after a bad tackle can look silly — choose moves that match the occasion.
