Celebrations Basics

Running Moves are celebrations you can trigger while your player is still running after scoring a goal. These animations usually involve simple gestures, body movements, or fun interactions that can be performed on the move. To execute them, hold or flick the Right Stick (R) in specific directions, or use quick button combinations such as tapping ◯ or ▢. Each Running Move has its own unique input, so timing and direction matter. They’re a great way to keep the momentum going while showing off your style immediately after hitting the back of the net.

Signature Celebration X A
Random Celebration ◯ B
Cancel Celebration L1 + R1 LB + RB

Running Moves

Finishing Moves are the main set of goal celebrations you can trigger right after scoring. Unlike Running Moves, these celebrations are performed once the player has stopped and entered the celebration phase. They often include iconic moves from real players, creative dances, or dramatic slides. To execute them, press or hold button combinations such as L1, L2, R1, R2 along with ◯, ▢, △, or Right Stick movements. Timing is key, trigger the inputs immediately after scoring to see your player perform the chosen celebration. Finishing Moves are the most varied and expressive way to show off your goal in style.

Pro Unlockables

Pro Unlockables are exclusive goal celebrations available in Clubs mode for your Virtual Pro. Unlike the basic and finishing moves, these must be unlocked as you progress, giving your Pro access to unique, often flashier ways to celebrate. Once unlocked, you can trigger them using combinations of R1, R2, L1, or L2 with button taps or Right Stick movements. These include dramatic flips, dances, and other standout animations that aren’t available in standard modes. To perform them, press the listed inputs immediately after scoring with your Pro to make your celebration feel personal and unique.
