EA Sports showed which commands are to performed to realize the 4 new Skill Moves added to FIFA 22. The New Skill Moves are:
- Four Touch Turn: Hold L2/LT + Flick RS Back + Flick RS Back
- Skilled Bridge: Hold L2/LT + Double Tap R1/RB
- First Time Spin: Hold L1/LB + R1/RB as the ball comes towards the player first time
- Scoop Turn Fake: Hold LS in the opposite direction after doing a forward Scoop Turn
Skill Moves Balancing
The main goal is to balance Skill Moves and make them effective if timed and executed correctly. After listening to feedback from the community and pros, we made the following balancing changes:
- Removed Skill Move Cancel for La Croquetta, Elastico, Reverse Elastico, and Scoop Turn.
- Reduced animation speed for Bridge and Directional Nutmegs.
- Drag Back Spin, Four Touch Turn, and Stepovers can now be cancelled (LT + RT).
- Drag to Drag Skill Move can now be triggered by holding RS backwards.
- The Heel to Heel Skill Move is more difficult to successfully perform.
- New animations for Directional Nutmeg 90 degree turns.
First Time Skill Moves
One important change that we want to highlight are the First Time Skill Moves which are something we received lots of feedback on.
With this improvement, Skill Moves can now be executed in first time situations as the ball is coming towards the player. In the past this was only possible with Fake Shots, but now Skill Moves with the Right Stick are possible as well.
For balancing purposes, First Time Skill moves have the following changes:
- Certain moves cannot be performed first time such as Stepovers, Body Feints, and the Bridge/Directional Nutmeg.
- Skill Moves in first time situations will be harder to control than while dribbling, especially if the incoming ball velocity is high.
- First time Skill Moves will not work from Driven Passes.
