PlayStyles has taken over the old Traits system that has been a part of FUT since FIFA 20. These PlayStyles offer players distinct skills that align with their real-life abilities to create a more authentic football experience. Let take a deep dive into all PlayStyles in FC 24 and what their effects are.

Best PlayStyles in FC 24

It's impossible to determine the best PlayStyles in EA FC 24 as each PlayStyle affects players differently, but here's our top 5 PlayStyles that we think impact the player the most:

  1. Finesse Shot
  2. Quick Step
  3. Long Ball Pass
  4. Dead Ball
  5. Power Shot

Furthermore, the Trickster PlayStyle enables players to perform unique skill moves that are not available to those without this PlayStyle, even if they already have 5-star skill moves.

If you remember In FIFA 23, the Trivela was a popular scoring method, and it has now become a PlayStyle in EA FC 24. While it may look fancy to score with the Trivela, there's always a better PlayStyle option.
