Wondering how to make players run in FC 24? Then you’ve come to the right place. After all, the ability to accurately execute a creative run can make all the difference when trying to navigate your way through those tricky FUT Champions matches.

Now that the full FC 24 release date is almost upon us, it is time to get stuck into FC 24 Ultimate Team. Some fans will be in the game sooner via FC 24 early access, but you can get going too with the FC 24 Web App.

For now though, here is everything you need to know about how to make players run in FC 24.

How to make players run in FC 24

In order to make your players sprint in FC 24, you simply need to hold down R2 if you are on PlayStation or RT if you are on Xbox. We’ll assume that you already know that. Instead, you’re wondering how to control the runs of your teammates who aren’t in possession.

The ability to direct your teammates’ movement off the ball will be key to unlocking an opposition defence in FC 24. The best way to do this is by utilising the creative run feature.

First introduced in FIFA 21, the creative runs feature allows you to manually control the movement of your teammates whilst in possession of the ball. This is an incredibly useful tool to have, particularly when you’re attacking against an opposition with a deep lying defence.

Here are the steps to follow if you wish to trigger a creative run:

  • PlayStation: Whilst in possession of the ball, hit L1 and flick the right analogue stick to direct the run of your teammate.
  • Xbox: Whilst in possession of the ball, hit LB and flick the right analogue stick to direct the run of your teammate.

The creative run method takes some getting used to, but once you’ve got the hang of it, it is incredibly effective. The unpredictable and unorthodox nature of the off-the-ball will cause havoc with the opposition defenders, increasing your chances of creating a goalscoring opportunity.

That is everything you need to know about how to make players run in FC 24.
