Are you looking for a shooting technique in FIFA 23 that allows you to score more goals? A simple trick shot is currently popular among players, at least when used by yourself.
FIFA 23 has undergone some changes in gameplay thanks to HyperMotion 2, and it feels quite different from its predecessor FIFA 22. You also need to get used to some new shooting techniques, such as the new power shot.
However, even though a proper power shot is a very good choice when you want to score an epic goal, another type of shot is currently gaining popularity: the outside curve shot.
What kind of shot is this? The outside curve shot, or “Trivela,” is a shot using the outer edge of the foot and thus technically a bit more demanding than the “normal” shot with the inside of the foot. Ricardo Quaresma was feared and admired for his Trivela shots.
Players like Quaresma stood out in past FIFAs due to the “outside curve shot” ability, which automatically activated such shots. This ability still exists in FIFA 23 – but now you can also trigger the Trivela shots yourself.
How to use the outside curve shot in FIFA 23
Here’s how the outside curve shot works: The execution is actually quite simple. Just press:
- L2 and Circle (shoot button) (PS controller)
- LT and B (shoot button) (Xbox controller)
Important: This is actually the combination for the “flair” shot. However, if you charge the shot to over three bars, you will perform the Trivela shot.
Now you just have to position your player correctly. Place a right-footed player at the right edge of the penalty area, and a left-footed player at the left edge of the penalty area. Now shoot with the outside curve shot into the far corner of the goal. The chances are good that the opposing goalkeeper will have a hard time catching the ball.
You can see how the shot looks in this video by YouTuber BorasLegend (from minute 5:19):
By the way: The Trivela cross is currently quite strong and can be executed with L2/LT and Square/X.
What players say: In the FIFA subreddit, the Trivela shot is gaining more and more friends. Some players consider it the safest shooting technique to score a goal – even from a distance (via reddit).
However, there is also criticism that the shooting technique may currently be a bit too strong and should be nerfed in an update.
