Skill Moves help

[straw0125]

New to fifa just started pkaying at the end of fifa 14. Can y'all explain skill moves to me. I know ther is a list of all of them. My question is do you do them like on the skill move screen in fifa 15, or do you do them based on what direction your player is running?

Thanks.

Based on the direction you are running. But I don't use the often. Step overs work well. Spins and Rainbows work well at times..other than that I'll most use alot of L1 to freeze direction and L2 to get past defenders. Don't go crazy with the skill moves or you'll find it doesnt get you far. It also depends on your team and playing style. You might want to take on opponents alot if you have Ronaldo, Depay, or Hazard. but using a team like Everton you might want to play more of a quick pass control game....hope that helps...and remember L1, L2 > skill moves

is it just me, or do skill moves actually feel... let's call it different, i guess ? :\

holding LT and RT is a useful move even if your player doesn't have great ball control or dribbling. There are like 4-5 skill moves that if you can master you have pretty much all of what you need to get out of various situations.
