An EA Sports FC 25 bug is allowing players to bypass the set piece distance threshold and simply block the shots of their opponents. For players wondering how they can exploit this EA Sports FC 25 glitch, here is what they need to know.
It is highly discouraged to exploit this bug in PvP mode, as it is technically against the rules of football and is an unethical way of gaining an advantage over opponents.
In soccer, there is a distance opponent players need to maintain when a set piece, which includes corner kicks, free kicks, goal kicks, and penalties, is being taken. This distance is a circle of radius of 10 yards or 9.15m, and it is usually denoted by the referee. In EA Sports FC 25, there is an invisible barrier that enforces this rule. So when an opponent is taking a set piece, a player will not be able to get closer than 10 yards from the opponent.
How to Perform the EA FC 25 Block Glitch
Due to a glitch, players can bypass this invisible barrier in EA Sports FC 25. To do that, players will first need to start running towards the opponent who is taking the set piece. Right before they are about to cross the invisible barrier, they will need to press the R1 button (RB on Xbox) on their controller. This will allow them to bypass the barrier altogether, and they will be able to get as close as they want to the opponent. It is crucial to note that players should press the key before they cross the invisible barrier, or else this trick will not work at all. Once again, players should avoid using it in PvP mode, especially competitive modes in EA Sports FC 25 like Ultimate Team.
The Player’s Direction
Another thing to note is that once players start exploiting this glitch, they will not be able to change the direction of their player. That is, the player will keep running in the same direction as they were before entering the barrier. Therefore, one should position the player in the right direction toward the opponent before crossing the barrier. The best way to use this glitch is to go directly in front of the opponent who is taking the set piece, as it will simply block their shots altogether. In fact, this also works for goal kicks, so one can use it as an offensive tactic in EA Sports FC 25 as well. That being said, considering this is pretty much a game-breaking bug, it is quite likely that the developers will fix it pretty soon.
