All skill moves in the game come with a minimum star rating requirement for a player to execute them correctly. The star ratings indicate the level of skill and technique a player possesses, and the higher the rating, the more proficient they are in performing complex moves.

Keep in mind that the directions of each input relate to which way the player is facing. We’ve provided the PlayStation inputs, but Xbox players need only swap L1, L2, R1, and R2 with LB, LT, RB, and RT.

Here are the seven new skill moves in EA FC 24 and the required star ratings for each one:

  • Ball Roll Drag (4 Star): Hold L1 + Flick RS Forward, Left/ Right
  • Drag Back Turn (4 Star): Hold L2 + Hold RS Back
  • Flair Nutmegs (4 Star): Hold L1 + R1 + Flick RS Direction
  • Flair Rainbow (5 Star): Hold L1 + RS Back, Forward
  • Trickster Flicks: R3 + LS Direction
  • Trickster Ball Roll: L2 + R2 (while standing)
  • Trickster Ball Catch: L2 + Fake Shot (while standing)
