In FIFA 23, Creative Runs are an important attack that allows players far more creative freedom in the attack, with manually triggered directional runs allowing far more unique attacks to break down defenses. But how can you activate creative runs? Let's take a look!

In FIFA 23, there are three types of runs that you can trigger to create more chances on the pitch. Here are the three methods:

Sending a player on a run

Directed Runs are initiated when you trigger either a run in behind (L1/LB) or call a man short (R1/RB) and flick the right stick in the desired direction of the run through full 360 degrees. This allows you to manually initiate the AI attacker's run in the direction you want. Combining this feature with the FIFA 23 meta through the ball will create many chances, and you are sure to score many goals!

Calling a player short

Instead of getting a player to run away from you, there is also a way to make them come closer. Press R1/RB while looking at the player you want to come short. You will know this has been successfully triggered when the player points to where he will run and starts moving away from the goal. This helps recycle the ball and build up chances again if you struggle to break down a defense.

Player locking

Player locking is a feature where you can control a player who does not have the ball while you still have possession. This allows you to make runs behind defenses or come short, except you can manually trigger these yourself. To player lock, simply press both analog sticks and pass the ball. Once you pass the ball, you will remain in control of that player, allowing you to run into space. This will be of major importance in tight situations where defenses are filled with high-level players.

That is all you need to know about how to trigger creative runs in FIFA 23. Using these tips, you will master creative runs and give players far more fluidity in the attacking areas! For more FIFA 23 info, please browse our GAME HUB. What's more, you can buy Cheap FUT 23 Coins here, and 100% safe!
