Choose players with the Technical+ trait

The foundation of this strategy lies in selecting players who have the "Technical Plus" trait. These players are better equipped for precise dribbling moves, which are key to bypassing the Legendary AI's defensive tactics. Using players without this trait may reduce the trick's effectiveness.

Utilize R1/RB dribbling

To execute this dribble, press R1 (or the equivalent button for your console) while controlling your player. This move makes the Legendary AI defenders more passive, as they tend to avoid tackling in most situations. By exploiting this behavior, you can maintain control of the ball near the penalty area and create easy scoring opportunities.

Avoid running in the same direction as the defender

Instead of moving directly forward, try cutting inside or changing direction to throw the defenders off. While the AI might occasionally attempt a tackle, especially a slide tackle, following this rule minimizes the risk. In some cases, defenders might commit fouls, leading to penalties in your favor.

Execute the trick near the penalty area

The trick is most effective when used close to the penalty area. Attempting it in the midfield may result in defenders regaining possession. By sticking to this zone, you maximize the chances of scoring and exploiting the AI's defensive flaws.

Focus on not conceding

While scoring is the primary goal, ensure that you maintain a solid defense to secure victory. The AI might counterattack if given an opportunity, so balancing offense and defense is crucial.

By adhering to these rules, you can dominate Legendary AI in Squad Battles, scoring at least four goals per match and securing consistent wins. This trick does not work on Ultimate difficulty, so use it exclusively on Legendary for optimal results. With practice, climbing to Elite 1 and earning top-tier rewards becomes significantly easier.
