How to do a low driven shot in FC 26 explained

Every year, it feels like there's a new broken mechanic in EA Sports FC, and in our eyes, the low driven shot in FC 26 is probably the pick of the bunch.

With a good enough striker, you'll be smashing goals into the bottom corner left and right – you'll need the right player for that of course, so check out some cheap high-rated players and wonderkids while you're here.

But if you're wondering how to perform a low driven shot in FC 26, here's a quick overview on exactly what to do.

How to score low driven shots in FC 26

The first thing to consider is where you’re trying to score from. While the Power Shot can be used just about anywhere, the low driven shot remains best when you’re in the box, and can be almost unstoppable within the six-yard box.

If you’re in the perfect position, you’ll want to do the following:

• Power up a shot with the relevant button (B on Xbox, Circle on PS5)
• Immediately after the shot is powered up, press the button again

There are some tradeoffs for low-driven shots. They don’t tend to have the power of, well, the Power Shot, but they do catch goalkeepers off guard and often slide into the bottom corner.

Furthermore, it can be a bit easier to drag the shot wide, compared to more accurate regular and finesse shots.

The better the player performing the shot is, particularly if they have the Low Driven Shot PlayStyle, also plays a huge part. Expect much higher success rates if they do.
