FIFA 23 – how to perform power shots and finesse shots

How to do a power shot in FIFA 23

Want to know how to execute a power shot in FIFA 23? One of the biggest changes in the latest version of the football game is the introduction of the Power Shot, a technique for striking the ball with force to score. Timing and aim are crucial, but once you get the knack, there are some incredible goals you can score in FIFA 23.

The left stick is used to aim the shot, but be careful not to push it too far – if the ball travels too far from the centre of your player, it will go wide of the goal. The button combination for performing a Power Shot varies depending on your console, but regardless of whether you’re playing on PC or console, the camera zooms in on your player when initiating a Power Shot, and this feature can be disabled if it bothers you.

Here’s how to do a power shot in FIFA 23:

1. The camera angle shifts slightly when you initiate a Power Shot, giving you an idea of what the shot will look like.
2. Power Shots are most effective when you have space in front of you, especially near the edge of the box – the angle of the goal and the goalkeeper’s starting position can have a big impact on your shot.
3. If a defender is rushing towards you, there may be a delay between your inputs and the shot, leading to a blocked shot.
4. If a defender is closing in and you need to fire off a shot quickly, you can fake a shot by pressing the “Pass” button after inputting the Power Shot commands. This can give you an extra second to steady yourself and avoid a defender.
5. A breakaway situation where you are clear of the last defender is an ideal opportunity for a Power Shot – the keeper won’t be able to get back into position in time to stop your well-aimed shot from scoring.
