FC 25 Low Driven Shots: Master the Ultimate Finishing Technique

In FC 25, the Low Driven Shot stands out as one of the most powerful and reliable finishing techniques. Whether you're facing off against a goalkeeper one-on-one or trying to score from long range, this shot ensures precision, speed, and difficulty for keepers to react. With the introduction of the **Low Driven Shot PlayStyle*, EA has made this technique even more effective. Here’s a complete guide to mastering this deadly finish.


1. What Is a Low Driven Shot?

The Low Driven Shot is a fast, low strike designed to stay near the ground, making it tough for goalkeepers to intercept, especially in close or long-range situations. Unlike regular shots, it avoids looping in the air and stays low, forcing the keeper to react quickly. With the latest update, EA introduced the *Low Driven Shot PlayStyle*, which significantly boosts the speed and accuracy for players equipped with this ability.


2. How to Perform a Low Driven Shot in FC 25

A common mistake players make is overcompensating with power or missing the proper aim. Here's a simple step-by-step guide to getting it just right:

🎮 Basic Controls for Low Driven Shots (Universal for All Players)

- *Press the shoot button (B on Xbox, O on PlayStation)– DON’T hold it down  

- Keep power under 40% (around one bar)

- Aim for the far post – it’s much easier to score this way than at the near post.


🎯 How to Know If You’ve Executed a Perfect Low Driven Shot:

- If the PlayStyle+ icon doesn’t show up, you’ve likely overpowered the shot.  

- If the ball starts lifting off the ground, reduce your shot power.  

- When using Low Driven PlayStyle+, the shot speed is significantly increased, making it near impossible for goalkeepers to stop.


💡 Pro Tips to Enhance Accuracy:

- Positioning: Make sure your player is well-aligned, especially when using their stronger foot.  

- Read the goalkeeper: If the keeper rushes out, use the Low Driven Shot to outsmart them.  

- Use Trivela Low Driven Shots from tight angles for added precision (see section 4)


3. When to Use the Low Driven Shot

A Low Driven Shot isn’t always the best option. For maximum effectiveness, it’s essential to know the right moments:

✅ Best Situations for Low Driven Shots

- Far Post Finishes: Perfect for inside the box, especially when targeting the far post.  

- 1v1 vs. Goalkeeper: Especially effective when the goalkeeper rushes out to challenge you.  

- Quick Inside-the-Box Finishing: Ideal for firing off a quick shot before defenders close in.


🚫 When NOT to Use a Low Driven Shot

- Outside the box – unless the goalkeeper is caught off guard.  

- Near post shots – Low Driven Shots don’t perform well when aiming for the near post.  


💡 Tip: Combine Trivela PlayStyle with Low Driven Shots for an even more lethal finish (see next section).


4. Trivela vs. Finesse Low Driven Shots: What’s the Difference?

When comparing the different types of Low Driven Shots, you’ll find variations that work best in specific situations.

                      Best Situations     
 
  Pros & Cons
            Basic Low Driven
                            Tap shoot button   
       Best for all players, primarily inside the box
 ✅ Easy to use  ❌ Less powerful without     PlayStyle+
           Trivela Low Driven
         Proper positioning + tap shoot (no L2/LT) 
       Ideal for far post finishes from tight angles
✅ Currently the strongest Low Driven Shot  ❌ Requires Trivela PlayStyle 
          Finesse Low Driven
                      Hold R1/RB + tap shoot                  Great for curved shots 
✅ Good for finesse players  ❌ Weaker than Trivela


🔹 Conclusion: The Trivela Low Driven Shot currently holds the edge as the most effective variation, though Low Driven PlayStyle+ upgrades could make standard shots even stronger.


5. What’s New with the Low Driven Shot PlayStyle?

The addition of the Low Driven Shot PlayStyle and PlayStyle+ introduces key differences that can make this technique even more powerful.

- Low Driven Shot PlayStyle: Increases shot speed and accuracy.  

- Low Driven Shot PlayStyle+: Further enhances shot power and reduces the goalkeeper’s reaction time.

In EA’s official gameplay examples, players with *Low Driven Shot PlayStyle+* take shots *20% faster* than others, making it one of the most deadly tools in finishing.


6. Will the Low Driven PlayStyle Become Overpowered?

💬 Community Insights:

- Low Driven Shot PlayStyle+ could soon dominate as the go-to shooting method, making other techniques less effective.  

- If EA doesn’t adjust goalkeeper AI, it might push players to focus exclusively on Low Driven Shots, potentially breaking the game balance.  

- As of now, EA hasn’t announced any adjustments to the PlayStyle+ mechanics, so its long-term impact remains uncertain.


7. Which Players Could Get the Low Driven PlayStyle+?

Based on past PlayStyle+ updates, here’s who might benefit from the *Low Driven Shot PlayStyle+* in future releases:

- Top Strikers (e.g., Haaland, Mbappé, Kane)  

- Technical Dribblers with Precise Shooting (e.g., Messi, Griezmann, Dybala)  

- Legendary Finishers Known for Low Driven Shots (e.g., Van Nistelrooy, Ronaldo Nazário, Del Piero)  

Keep an eye on TOTW, TOTS, and POTY releases, as EA may roll out these upgrades during special events.


8. Conclusion: Is the Low Driven Shot the Best Finishing Move in FC 25?

- The Low Driven Shot PlayStyle significantly boosts both speed and accuracy, making it one of the most powerful finishing techniques in FC 25.  

- While Trivela Low Driven Shots are the current strongest, upcoming PlayStyle+ enhancements could make standard Low Driven Shots even more effective.  

- If EA doesn’t adjust goalkeeper AI, the Low Driven PlayStyle+ might dominate the meta and become the go-to finishing method.
