What is Effort Dribble

Before going into details of how to use the effort dribble/touch in EA Sports FC 25, let's first try to understand the basic difference between effort dribbling and regular dribbling in the game.

Normal Dribbling in FC 25 is the standard mechanic for moving with the Left Stick on your controller. It is one of the most basic maneuvers you will learn when you start playing and requires no additional button inputs. However, the effectiveness of the conventional dribbling mechanic relies heavily on how well you maneuver your player with the LS on your controller, and the player's rating. This dribbling is frequently simple for defenders to intercept because there isn't an additional layer of skills required.

To solve this problem and to ensure proper control of the ball, no matter the dribbling ratings of the players in your team, there are many other types of dribbling present in the game, and Effort Dribble is one of the easiest among them. Effort Dribbling allows you greater control of your movement with the ball at your feet, speeds up the dribble, gives you more control over your player's movement direction, and makes it significantly harder for your opposing defenders to steal the ball from you.

How to Use Effort Dribble

To use the effort dribble, you must press and hold the RB button + flick RS on your Xbox controller, and R1 + RS on your PlayStation controller, while you keep moving using the LS.

The primary goal of Effort Dribbling is to execute a controlled sprint with the RB/R1+LS and quickly pivot to a direction with the ball using the Right Stick. This ensures far better control over your ball, as the player keeps it closer to their feet, allowing them to move around quickly with the ball towards any gap they find while dribbling.

Effort Dribbling is most effective when you need to get past a charging defender or out of a tight space filled with opposing defenders. While moving forward, once the opposing player initiates the charge, flick the RS toward the direction of the gap that is created, and your player will swiftly move towards that direction, successfully escaping the defender's tackle. The same skill can be used to quickly get out of tight areas and dribble past several defenders at once.

Despite being a little more difficult to use than standard dribbling, Effort Dribbling is one of the best dribbling mechanics in EA Sports FC 25 and, once mastered, will undoubtedly elevate your gameplay. This mechanic has now been updated to be more reactive to button inputs to allow timed movements, and the animation has also been made smoother, so make sure to use this skill to the fullest as you keep climbing through the ranks and rewards of EA Sports FC 25.
