FC 26 Low Driven Shots - Everything You Need To Know

What Are Low Driven Shots

Low Driven Shots is an advanced football technique that players can do while controlling a football player on the field in FC 26, preferably a Striker, that allows the players to be able to score goals with more precision and ease once they are near the goal.

Low Driven Shots are generally used when players are controlling either the Striker or either of the Wingers on the field and can be done once the football player has entered inside the penalty box and have a clear sight of the goal. Once these conditions are met, players can control the footballer to charge up a shot and aim for either of the corners of the goal to be able to shoot a powerful and precise shot in order to score a goal quickly before the goalkeeper can intervene.

Generally speaking, the Low Driven Shots technique is one of the techniques that players should know and practice in order to be able to score goal easily, as many of the top players of the game are pros at utilizing this technique and will absolutely use this against other players in order to successfully score goals and win matches.

How To Do Low Driven Shots In FC 26

Unlike in FC 25, various changes have been implemented in terms of controls and game authenticity, the requirements for players to do Low Driven Shots have been changed significantly in FC 26, making it way easier for players to do this technique.

In essence, the Low Driven Shots can be done by tapping a single button twice with timing in between. First, the players will need to press the B button on Xbox Controller (and PC) or the Circle Button on Playstation in order to initiate the first step of the move and charge up the shot. After charging up the shot, quickly press the B button of the circle button again right away to unleash the shot before any other players on the field can intercept you to do a Low Driven Shot.

While simple on paper with the move only requiring players to essentially press a single button twice in a row, timing is extremely important when doing Low Driven Shots. If the player doesn't charge up the shot enough and press the button too quickly, the shot will not have enough power to make it to the goal. Additionally, if the positioning of the players on the field isn’t very good and without a clear sight of the goal, pressing the button to do Low Driven Shot will only result in the opponent being able to intercept the shot and take back the ball immediately.

 

Perfect Times To Do Low Driven Shots

As with many different techniques and effects in FC 26 where timing and positioning is the essence, there are perfect conditions that players should take advantage of in order to do the Low Driven Shots perfectly.

Generally speaking, Low Driven Shots are almost always done by the Strikers, Wingers or Centre Attack Midfielders when up against the opponent’s goal due to the general short range of the technique, therefore, players should only use Low Driven Shots technique when in these situations:

- A 1v1 against the opponents’ goalkeeper: this is the ideal situation to do a Low Driven Shot as generally Goalkeepers have a really tough time dealing with low shots, allowing you to score goals more easily. This situation also allows for little to no interruptions, making it the perfect opportunity for the technique.

- Teammates surrounding you for a follow up: Depending on how you shoot your Low Driven Shots, even if the shot doesn’t land a goal, the ball will often rebound thanks to the angle of your shots. Therefore, if you have other teammates surrounding you that can take advantage of the rebound for a secondary chance to score a goal, you should do several Low Driven Shots in a row with different players to score the goal.

- Quick shots: When you are in the position to shoot the shot, the majority of the opponents’ team will start to approach you from all sides to prevent you from shooting. When this happens, a quick Low Driven Shot will be the solution to your predicament. Quick movements and button mashing will help you to get the goal as quickly as possible.

Variations To The Low Driven Shots

Aside from the normal Low Driven Shots, depending on the football players that you control to do the Low Driven Shots during the match, some players will have special modifiers that turn the Low Driven Shots technique into different types of shots. These special variations allow for more flexibility and are heavily dependent on which footballer the players are controlling when attempting to do a Low Driven Shot.

The variations of the Low Driven Shots are dependant on these special modifiers and playstyles:

- Low Driven Finesse Shot: When performing Low Driven Shots, the shot will have improved curve and accuracy, allowing the player to aim for the corners of the goal more efficiently and accurately.

- Low Driven Power Shot: When performing Low Driven Shots, the power and speed of the shot will be massively improved, allowing the player to charge the shot for less time but still be able to do strong shots that go far into the opponent’s goal.
