Camera shots need to be patched out
There’s currently a controller method that lets players fake the direction of a shot in an unnatural way. The player starts the shooting animation while aiming in one direction, then quickly drags the crosshair to the opposite side at the last moment. (it is also possible to do on KBM using a different method)
This makes the body language and animation suggest the shot is going one way, while the ball actually goes the other. In some cases, the ball even looks like it starts traveling in one direction before snapping to a completely different one, it literally teleports (check the attached videos)

This technique is being increasingly exploited at higher levels of play and feels like an unintended mechanic rather than a skill-based feature. Players abuse it to beat goalkeepers—especially those who’ve learned to read positioning and body language, which probably goes against fair gameplay and what seems to be the developers’ intended vision.
I think this should be addressed and removed to maintain consistency and realism.

Here are a couple clips of people doing that to me in a tournament. Also you can do that on any type of shot or pass. People do it on missile shots and I have a clip of a person doing it on dribble pass in.

Christian Guida MergedAn exploit that still exists is that if you manage to completely move your aim in the opposite direction where you were aiming the animation doesnt corrispond to the shot and its very orryfing to see

MaoMao Mergedhes talking about the Controller drag shot. exapmple, when you shot to the right and them you move your camera to the left, the animation you have is like ur shooting to the right, but you got a left shot and a weird animation, it just happend in controller wihtout the shotlock! it can't work in KBM
