Whether you play eFootball 2024 on mobile, PS4, PS5, Xbox, or PC, this eFootball 2024 skills and dribbling guide is designed to help you improve your dribbling skills easily and step-by-step. So all you have to do is take your time and master them.
Best Tips On How to Dribble on eFootball 2024
There are three important dribbling abilities in eFootball: ball control, dribbling, and balance.
High ratings in ball control and dribbling allow you to feel quick and agile.
A high balance will keep your player on the feet when tackled – and this is vital for close dribbling.
We recommend you try to use players with ratings of 80 or more in these areas.
Left Analog Stick Movement
If you want to learn how to dribble well, you need to first swap the d-pad for the left analog stick.
When using the d-pad, you only have eight directions to move in.
Your turns will feel “cut off” and unnatural.
But with the left analog stick, you have 360-degree freedom of movement.
Quick Dribble
Another thing you can do with the left analog stick which is helpful is to use the left stick to quickly move to change direction unexpectedly.
But ensure you do a small step one way before bursting the other.
This will pull out defenders and leave you in better shooting positions.
Furthermore, this move will keep opponents guessing, which improves your chances of scoring goals or creating chances.
Slow Down to Speed Up
When your player receives the ball, do not immediately sprint.
Rather, use the left stick to maintain steady and balanced control.
This gives you reaction time to assess possible dribbling options.
This opens up spaces and prevents opponents from easily dispossessing you.
After a few seconds, you can explode past them using the sprint button.
Correct Body Angle
A small left stick adjustment can allow you to correct your body angle into better shooting positions.
If your player is already running at an unfavorable or awkward angle, slightly turn to a straight position to improve your odds of scoring.
If done well, this can allow your player to place shots where the goalkeeper least expects.
Focus on Opponents
One of the most important aspect of dribbling is to focus on nearby opponents, not your own player.
Watch how they move – are they sprinting? Running alongside you?
Whichever you discover, use their momentum against them by unexpectedly changing direction.
Learn to set traps by feinting one way to draw them in, then cutting the other way.
Dribble Diagonally
By dribbling diagonally, you have more time to see defenders.
You can use this to cut inside easily after faking wide and freezing the defender with a fake shot.
Quick Turns
When you win a loose ball, stop and turn quickly to assess your options.
A double touch followed by a fake shot also catches defenders flat-footed.
