Simplified Controls
If you are an inexperienced player, you should study the most basic controls and gradually add new ones.
Movement
These are the most important FC 25 controls. They let you get around the pitch with the ball at your feet. L2 / LT is often one of the most under-used controls, and it can give you a real advantage when jostling for the ball or position.

Goalkeeper
Your goalkeeper also makes part of your team. He saves your goal but is also the first to distribute the ball. You probably won’t use many of these too often, but they’re still helpful to know.
