The Low Driven Shot is one of the most effective finishing techniques in FC 25, delivering fast, low, and precise strikes that goalkeepers struggle to save. Unlike regular shots, the ball stays closer to the ground, making it harder to react to, especially in 1v1 situations or long-range finishes.
With the latest update, EA has introduced a new Low Driven Shot PlayStyle, allowing certain players to execute this shot with even greater speed and accuracy.
Many players struggle to properly execute Low Driven Shots, often applying too much power or aiming incorrectly. Follow these essential steps to get it right:
✅ Tap the shoot button (B on Xbox, O on PlayStation) – DO NOT hold it down
✅ Keep power under 40% (around one bar of power)
✅ Aim for the far post – finishing at the near post is much harder
✔ Adjust player positioning – ensure they are lined up correctly for a natural shot, especially when using their strong foot.
✔ Watch the goalkeeper’s movement – if the keeper is charging, a Low Driven Shot is the best way to beat them.
✔ Use Trivela Low Driven Shots from tight angles for better accuracy (see section 4).
Not every situation is ideal for a Low Driven Shot. Use it in the right moments to maximize scoring potential.
✔ Far Post Finishes – Works best inside the box when aiming for the far post.
✔ 1v1 vs. the Goalkeeper – Especially useful when the keeper is rushing out.
✔ Quick Inside-the-Box Finishing – A great way to get a shot off before defenders close in.
❌ From outside the box – unless the goalkeeper is out of position.
❌ Near post shots – these are harder to score with a Low Driven Shot.
💡 Tip: Players with Trivela PlayStyle can combine this with Low Driven Shots for an even more lethal finish (see next section).
Shot Type | Controls | Best Situations | Pros & Cons |
---|---|---|---|
Basic Low Driven Shot | Tap shoot button | Works for all players, best inside the box | ✅ Easy to use, ❌ Less powerful without PlayStyle+ |
Trivela Low Driven Shot | Proper positioning + tap shoot (No L2/LT) | Best for far post finishes from tight angles | ✅ Currently the strongest Low Driven Shot, ❌ Requires Trivela PlayStyle |
Finesse Low Driven Shot | Hold R1/RB + tap shoot | Good for curved finishing | ✅ Great for finesse players, ❌ Weaker than Trivela Low Driven Shot |
🔹 Conclusion: The Trivela Low Driven Shot is currently the most effective variation, but with PlayStyle+ upgrades, standard Low Driven Shots might become even stronger.
EA’s official gameplay examples show that players with Low Driven Shot PlayStyle+ take shots 20% faster than regular players, making it an extremely effective finishing tool.
💬 Content Creator Insights:
⚠️ Currently, EA has not confirmed any PlayStyle+ balancing adjustments, so the true impact remains to be seen.
Based on EA’s previous PlayStyle+ assignments, these types of players could receive the Low Driven Shot PlayStyle in future updates:
1️⃣ Elite Strikers (e.g., Haaland, Mbappé, Kane)
2️⃣ Technical Dribblers with Precise Shooting (e.g., Messi, Griezmann, Dybala)
3️⃣ Legendary Finishers Known for Low Driven Shots (e.g., Van Nistelrooy, Ronaldo Nazário, Del Piero)
EA may introduce Low Driven PlayStyle+ in TOTW, TOTS, or POTY releases, so keep an eye out for updates.
✅ The Low Driven Shot PlayStyle enhances accuracy and speed, making it a powerful tool in FC 25.
✅ Trivela Low Driven Shots remain the strongest variation for now, but future PlayStyle+ upgrades could change that.
✅ EA may need to tweak goalkeeper AI, or Low Driven Shot PlayStyle+ could become overpowered.
