Stop Missing Those Easy Chances in FC25

Here's How to Fix Your Shooting Now

 

If you're tired of missing easy shots in FC25, you're not alone- and I know exactly what you're doing wrong. But don't worry, in this article, we'll fix it together.

 

Shooting Isn't Just Pressing a Button

 

Too many players think shooting is just about hitting the shoot button whenever they see the goal. The truth? If you shoot too early, like before your player has full control or while they're still off-balance from a spring, you'll end up with weak, inaccurate shots. That's why you need to focus on your player's posture first.

 

Ask yourself these questions before shooting:

 

·Is your player facing the goal?

·Have they taken a clean touch on the ball?

 

If the answer is no, take a split second to adjust using the left analog stick. Don't rush your shot just because the button is there. Receiving the ball cleanly and controlling it away from defenders is the first step to a good shot.

 

Master Your Shot Timing and Mechanics

 

The timing of your shot is crucial. Avoid shooting when the ball is right at your feet- instead, push it slightly forward with your left stick before powering up your shot. This simple adjustment gives you a smoother shooting animation and a higher chance of scoring.

 

There are two main shooting mechanics you should master to become unstoppable:

 

1. Low Driven Shot

 

A powerful, fast, grounded shot that's great for beating keepers on the ground. To perform it, tap the shutter button lightly with power under one bar. It's especially effective in tight spaces and under pressure.

2. Finesse Shot

 

A curved shot designed to bend around keepers, perfect inside the box to avoid their reach. Hold the R1 (RB) button and shoot with about two to three bars of power.

 

When to Use Each Shot Type

 

Choosing the right shot depends on your position on the pitch:

 

·If your player is at a diagonal angle towards the far post and can shoot with their stronger foot, use a finesse shot. The curve will help you score by bending the ball around the keeper, who usually guards the near post.

·If you're under pressure or shooting from a tight angle where a finesse shot risks going wide, go for the low-driven shot. This is especially effective for cross shots aimed at the opposite side of your shooting foot.

 

Reading the Keeper's Movement

 

Here's a key insight: Goalkeepers in FC25 can be manually moved by opponents, but only towards one side during a shot. If you notice the keeper shifting to one corner just before you shoot, don't panic. This works in your favor- they'll stay there for the shot, leaving the opposite corner wide open.

 

If you have a moment before shooting and the keeper hasn't moved, aim for the far corner away from him. If he is moving, simply shoot to the empty side. Patience and observation here will turn easy chances into goals.
