In EA SPORTS FC 25, briefly press and release your configured shooting button to take a low driven shot. Aim first, then release before the power bar reaches 40% if you’re following FUT.GG’s FC 25-specific guidance. The exact button label depends on your platform and control settings.

How do you hit a low driven shot in FC 25?

  1. Get into a shooting position and aim. Choose the part of the goal you want to target. Attributes, position, angle and defensive pressure can all affect the outcome, according to EA’s shooting guidance.
  2. Briefly press and release the configured shoot input. EA describes the FC 25 technique as a “short press of the shooting input.” In this game, that short press is the low driven technique; do not add a second press as a modifier.
  3. Release early. FUT.GG’s FC 25 guide advises releasing before the power bar reaches 40%. That practical threshold is from the guide, not EA’s update notes.

If you want the precise button label for your setup, check Pause > Settings > Basic Controls during a match, or open Learn to Play > Practice Arena > Button Help. EA notes that controls vary by platform and configuration.

When should you choose a low driven shot?

A low driven shot keeps the ball down, making it a useful choice for close-range chances and one-on-ones. Pick the shot based on the trajectory you need, the goalkeeper’s position and how much time you have.

Shot Useful when Trajectory or trade-off
Low driven You have a close-range chance or one-on-one and want to keep the ball low. A short press of the shoot input in FC 25.
Finesse You want to curl the ball. Designed for a curled trajectory.
Chip The goalkeeper has moved away from the goal line. Lifts the ball over the keeper; the later-game modifier rules should not be assumed to apply to FC 25.
Power You have room for a longer wind-up. Requires more time to perform than a quick short press.

These are general shot-selection distinctions in EA’s current help guidance; its low driven button instructions specifically cover FC 26 and FC 27, not FC 25.

What does the Low Driven Shot PlayStyle do?

EA introduced the Low Driven Shot PlayStyle and PlayStyle+ in the FC 25 Legends Return update, published March 10, 2025. EA says the PlayStyle significantly increases shot accuracy, moderately increases ball travel speed, and moderately increases how quickly players perform the requested shot. PlayStyle+ has the same effects, tuned to be more effective. These are qualitative descriptions; EA did not publish percentages or measured success rates.

EA lists the PlayStyle and PlayStyle+ as available in Football Ultimate Team, Career Mode (Youth Academy Players and Player Career), and Clubs.

Why FC 25 instructions differ from FC 26 and FC 27

EA’s currently available help page describes a double-tap modifier for low driven shots in FC 26 and FC 27. That is not the FC 25 method: in FC 25, use a short press and release of the shooting input. Check the game and control configuration before following a button combination from a guide for a later edition.
