Basic Moves

As for basic dribbling, you need to be good at these moves:

• Carrying the ball (L stick)
• Skill moves (R stick)
• Protecting the ball (L2/LT)
• Fast dribbling (Holding R2/RT)
• Slow dribbling (Holding L1/LB)

To carry the ball and pass your opponent you can just use the L stick. Using the R stick will also help you to do skill moves. Getting familiar with the skill moves will also help you a lot to perform the dribbling very well.

The first thing you need to do for dribbling is to protect the ball (Using L2/LT button). Sprinting (Holding R2/RT button when moving) will also assist you to pass your opponents. Sometimes you need to do slow dribbling (By holding L1/LB button) in order to make more space for yourself to take a shot or pass the ball.

More Advanced Moves

To move on, you need to do more advanced dribbling techniques:

• Face up dribbling (L2/LT + R2/RT)
• Drag Back (R1/RB + L Flick ⇩)
• No Touch Feints (R1 + L) / (RB + L)
• Fake Pass (▢ then X + direction) / (X then A + direction)
• Fake Shot (◯ then X + direction) / (B then A + direction)

Face Up Dribbling will help you to the most control of the ball while facing the goal. To perform this technique, use L2/LT + R2/RT buttons. Drag Back technique (R1/RB + L Flick ⇩) allows you to quickly switch to opposite directions when there is no open space for you to move into, which is way faster than manually turning around.

No Touch Feints (R1/RB + L) is very effective when you have a player running through and you are controlling them, it will help you let the ball roll through and maintain speed for your dribbling. Fake Pass and Fake Shot are good techniques to take over your opponent. By doing fake pass/shot, your opponent will go after the passed/shot ball which was fake, so it will give you more space to pass them.
