You have just started with FIFA 23 and are looking for ways to score more goals? We will look at simple tips that can help your offense.
FIFA 23 brings some changes to gameplay compared to its predecessor. This can result in familiar patterns no longer leading to goals as consistently as before.
For new players, it can also be difficult at the beginning to break through the opponent’s defense with the offense. That’s why we are gathering some tips here that can help you achieve success more quickly.
Use the 2 best shots in FIFA 23
Which shots are worth it in FIFA 23? Currently, two types of shots have emerged as the favorites among many players.
The first is the “Outside Foot Shot.” You can activate it by pressing L2/LT and the shoot button when you charge the shot to three bars.
Position yourself best diagonally in front of the goal at the edge of the box and then send the outside foot shot into the far corner. You can find out more about the outside foot shot here.
The second shot is the “Power Shot”. This is a new feature in FIFA 23 that allows you to unleash an extremely powerful shot on the opponent’s goal.
You activate the shot by simultaneously pressing L1 + R1 or LB + RB and the shoot button. Then, a longer animation starts in which your player charges and fires the shot.
What it looks like can be seen in the video:
The shot is difficult to aim and can be blocked by the opponent during charging, so you are taking a risk. However, a well-executed power shot is virtually impossible for the keeper to save.
A high pass into the run is strong in FIFA 23 – also because of “Lengthy”
In FIFA 23, something has changed in gameplay. Players are not as agile as before, and dribbling is currently not as effective anymore. Therefore, many players prefer a good passing game.
A popular trick is currently the “High Pass into the Run.” You activate it by pressing L1/LB and the triangle/Y button. Your player then sends a pass into the path of an attacker, ideally over the defenders.
But which attackers are worth it as receivers? Currently, many players swear by cards with the “Lengthy” running style. These are typically bulky, tall players, who however become faster when sprinting. They often have speed advantages over players who are not “Lengthy”. Some criticize the running style as overpowered.
However, the combination of “Pass into the Run” and “Lengthy” striker is very dangerous and can give you one or two goals.
Some players can also be transformed into “Lengthy players” through Chemistry Styles. Here you can find 20 players that you can make faster with the “Lengthy” trick.
Learn good skill moves – like the “Heel to Ball Roll”
Even if dribbling this year is not quite as strong, skill moves can give you the decisive advantage in tight situations. You can find some strong skill moves for FIFA 23 here.
In an interview with eSports athlete Henning Wilmbusse, the pro recommended the “Heel to Ball Roll”: This is a new and simple trick in FIFA 23 that is perfect for tight spaces.
- Hold L1/LB and flick the right stick first in the running direction and then against it
Your player will then perform a trick that fakes a heel-to-heel in a straight line but then slightly goes to the side, allowing him to maneuver past opponents.
You can see the trick here starting at 0:36 in the EA video on YouTube:
Trick your opponents with creative runs
Influence the running paths: You can control the running paths of your players to some extent. The simple version works like this:
- With L1/LB you send a targeted player forward
- With R1/RB you bring a targeted player to you
But there is also a slightly more complex version: the creative runs. These have been around since FIFA 21, but if you haven’t used them yet, it may be worth learning.
Here’s how creative runs work:
- You send a targeted player forward with L1/LB as above
- Now flick the right stick directly in the direction the player should run
- This allows you to precisely dictate where the player should run – and you can play a pass into the run there
With creative runs, you can send your players on unusual and unexpected running paths that your opponents do not anticipate. In tight games, this can provide a decisive advantage – but it takes some practice.
Don’t waste free kicks and corners in FIFA 23
What are set pieces? Set pieces in a football match refer to free kicks and corners. You will also get them in FIFA 23 from time to time – but it is not so easy to convert them into goals.
It can be worth establishing a technique that you can use repeatedly and perfect.
We have summarized which ones are suitable:
In the heat of battle, one is quickly tempted to execute set pieces “somehow” and as quickly as possible. But this can also mean that you unknowingly waste a scoring opportunity.
