- Player Lock cross: an advanced crossing technique where you can control the off ball player and position him in the box for the cross. We want to attack any free space that’s in the box or we want to position our player infront of the defence to give ourselves the best chance at winning the header. To use Player Lock, you have to press in the left and right stick and then switch with the right stick to the receiver of the cross.
- Ball Roll cross: we can use this skill move to set up the cross. Either to shift our players body position to cross with his dominant foot or to delay the cross and buy time for our runners in the box to get in position.
- PlayStyles: for delivery the whipped cross playstyle makes crosses more accurate, travel faster and with more curve. And then aerial give a boost to the players jumping and ability to win the header. And for finishing power header give a boost to the power and accuracy of headers and the power and acrobatic gives a boost to the accuracy of volleys and allows unique animations.
- Hug Sideline: by pressing up then right on the d pad you can maximise the width for your wingers and fullbacks. Giving them most space and time on the ball to be able to cross without getting blocked.
