Overview

The current game introduced a dedicated dribble stick for tighter ball handling and more creative combinations. It is designed to make one-on-one creation more controllable than in older versions.

How it works

Different movements can change direction, protect the ball or create separation, but success still depends on the ball handler’s attributes and the defender’s position.

Practical tips and limits

Use dribble moves to create a purpose: an open lane, a passing angle or a clean shot. Repeated moves without space usually waste time and increase turnover risk.
