Dead Ball
The Dead Ball PlayStyle+ is powerful as it can transform free-kick situations into more favorable scoring opportunities. Additionally, corners will be hit at much more speed, making it difficult for defenders to clear the ball.
This gives players a longer trajectory line, giving more information on where the ball will travel. A free kick from around 25 yards out or below will almost be like taking a penalty.
