How To Perform EA FC 25 Celebrations

Adding celebrations to your repertoire is very easy to pull off. After scoring, you can perform two different styles of celebration, first while running, and then a finishing move to end the celebration. To complete the moves, you use a combination of the four main buttons, the four shoulder buttons, and the two joysticks. Buttons and shoulders may be pressed or held, while sticks may be pressed, held, or flicked in a direction or moved in circles.

Note: For explanations this article uses Microsoft style button labeling. You can convert to PlayStation style using the follow substitutions:

  • A becomes X
  • X becomes Square
  • B becomes Circle
  • Y becomes Triangle
  • RB becomes R1
  • LB becomes L1
  • RT becomes R2
  • LT becomes L2

The Best Goal Celebrations In EA FC 25

These top goal celebrations will help you look good while you’re playing well. After every goal you get the opportunity to perform two types of celebrations: your running celebrations while on the move, and a finishing move. We’ve selected the best celebrations of both types to help you celebrate your next goal in style.

The Best EA FC Running Celebrations

Your first consideration after scoring a goal is how you celebrate while on the move. You are given a brief period where you can move your character around the pitch and determine where the final celebration of your goal takes place, and you can hit your own preferred celebrations for the entire run. Some of the most fun running celebrations include:

  • The Airplane (press and hold right stick In): A classic sports celebration and a key element of my own long, overly elaborate goal chain as a kid, throw your arms out wide and zoom around the pitch as you run. 
  • The Bird (flick right stick to the right, then hold right stick to the right): If you prefer a more natural form of flight then have a go with the bird celebration, bringing your hands together to turn your hands into flapping wings as you run across the pitch.
  • The Wrist Flick (tap Y, then hold Y): Did you just score a particularly tasty goal, the kind that would break the internet if it happened in a Premier League match? Well, the wrist flick is the way to let everybody, especially your opponent, know that you’re aware how nice your work was by throwing out a goto “I just did something filthy” celebration.
  • Blow Kisses (tap right stick down, then hold right stick up): You’ve just scored a goal for your club, why not show some love to your adoring fans as they shower you with cheers? 
  • Hands on Head (flick right stick left, then hold right stick left): One of the great sights in sports when someone scores a banger so good their own teammates can only grab their heads in shock. If you just put in a worldie and your digital teammates haven’t shown the appropriate awe, then take things into your own hands.
  • Positional Celebrations (run to target): Several celebrations in the game don’t require any special button presses or flicks but instead just heading to the right location to trigger the celebration. Options for these special celebrations include the TV cameras, the corner flag, your manager, the mascot, and the fans behind the goal.

The Best EA FC Finishing Celebrations

Every good show needs a great finale, and that’s what the finishing celebration is. Once you’re done celebrating on the go and gotten to your desired final destination you can choose your closing act and wrap up your celebration in style with one of these options:

  • Flex (hold left bumper, then press X): When you’ve just put on a display of physical dominance, be it turning a defender to make a shot or bullying the defense on a corner, sometimes you just need to let them know they’re simply not strong enough. Use this celebration to give everyone a free ticket to the gun show.
  • Spanish Dance (hold left trigger, then tap right stick up twice): Put a little flare into your celebrations with this little dance number to cap off your celebratory jaunt. Your player will get moving to the music in his head and show off his best dance skills for the fans.
  • Hand Spring (hold left bumper, and spin the right stick clockwise): Professional athletes love showing off their athletic ability beyond their sport, and throwing in some gymnastics to a celebration is a favorite way to do so. Cap off your next celebration run with some digital tumbling to put a stamp on your performance.
  • Hypnosis (hold left trigger, and press Y): Getting the team involved for a group celebration is always a good time, and the hypnosis celebration is a fun way to do it. Bring your teammates around then put them all to sleep with your footballing wizardry.
  • Gamer (hold right bumpe,r then flick right stick right, then left): EA heard you like footie and video games so they put some video games in your footie video game. Remind your opponents that you are the superior gamer by having your digital player bust out his own imaginary gamepad in celebration of your goal.

These are my favorite ways to celebrate when the ball hits the back of the net but there are more than 100 to choose from, including custom signature celebrations for some of the sport’s biggest stars. What’s your chosen way to cap off your goal when you put one past your opponent?
