Every shot type in EA SPORTS FC 27 with its input, animated for PS5 and Xbox: the normal shot, finesse, power, chip, the three low driven shots, the outside-of-the-foot flair shot and the flick-up volley. Plus what EA changed about shooting this year, which matters most for finesse and low driven shots.

The three low driven shots are the normal input with a second tap of shoot after you have powered up. The fake shot has its own page: how to fake shot in FC 27.
What changed for shooting in FC 27
EA's FC 27 gameplay deep dive changed two shooting PlayStyles, and both shift the weight from the PlayStyle to the shooter's attributes:
- Finesse Shot. Spin, animation speed and how well an off-angle finesse shot works now scale with the player taking it, so the gap between a player without the PlayStyle, with Finesse Shot and with Finesse Shot+ is smaller.
- Low Driven. The shot-speed boost on low driven shots is gone. Their speed now comes only from the shooter's shooting attributes and how much power you put on. The PlayStyle and PlayStyle+ still add accuracy.
In short: a good finisher's attributes matter more this year, and the PlayStyle a little less. Every PlayStyle EA changed is listed in FC 27 PlayStyle nerfs and buffs.
Headers and volleys
Headers and volleys use the shoot button: Circle on PlayStation (B on Xbox) when the ball is in the air. EA made clean headers from crosses and corners harder in FC 27, because they need more precision, but a clean one is more accurate than in FC 26. Crosses also land in space more often instead of on a player, so attackers may have to stretch, dive or change the angle of their run to reach the ball. FC 27 corners covers the new box control and Avoidance.
