00:00Dribbling plays a huge part in football matches, but EA Sports FC 25 has a lesser-known technique
00:18that can greatly improve your control of the ball, called the effort dribble.
00:22While normal dribbling can easily be done by simply controlling the direction your players
00:26move, there are many different ways you can run with your player which are all useful
00:29in different circumstances.
00:32One such method is the effort dribble, a new addition to the series, and one which gives
00:36more control over every step that you take.
00:38There have been a lot of changes to dribbling for this year's EA Sports FC 25, including
00:43updates to controlled sprint, which is a great tool to use when you are in the box.
00:47However, one area that a number of players have struggled with is when traveling at a
00:51normal jog, as too often any nearby defenders can step in and take the ball away.
00:56Effort dribbling provides a real alternative to normal dribbling and is easy to perform
01:00regardless of the in-game stats of the player you are using it with.
01:04How to perform effort dribble?
01:06Add a different option on the ball.
01:07EA Sports FC 25 player trying to prevent other athlete from getting a cross pass on defense.
01:13While normal dribbling is primarily done with the left stick, by holding one button and
01:17using the right stick you can activate effort dribbling.
01:20On the PlayStation Hold R1 and on Xbox Hold RB before controlling your direction with
01:24the right stick.
01:26If you flick the stick quickly, in a short burst, you can perform short quick turns,
01:30while holding a direction will keep you in control over a longer distance.
01:34You'll need to practice using the effort dribble as it's much harder to execute than simply
01:38holding the direction and dribbling as normal, but with time you can make moves and dribble
01:42through small gaps not previously possible.
01:45It allows you to keep tighter control of the ball, as it is kept closer to your player's
01:48feet.
01:49It improves control for all players in EA Sports FC 25, regardless of whether you are
01:54using one of the best attackers in the game, or defenders who normally struggle with the
01:58ball at their feet.
02:00When to use effort dribble?
02:01The most effective times to use effort dribble.

02:08There are two times that the effort dribble comes into its own.
02:11Firstly, when you are surrounded by multiple defenders and are looking for a route out
02:14into space.
02:16Normally, dribbling doesn't provide the control needed, but with precise movements through
02:20effort dribbling, you can get that extra space needed to either dribble away yourself or
02:24make a pass to an open teammate the other time it is effective is in the final third
02:28of the pitch if you are looking for an angle to get a shot away on goal or to provide the
02:31final killer pass.
02:33By using a quick flick of control dribbling, you can set up the perfect angle, such as
02:37when you want to use a finesse shot.
02:39Effort dribbling is a new addition to EA Sports FC 25 which every player should add to their
02:44arsenal to get you out of tight spots, as well as set up opportunities in front of goal.
