FIFA 23: The best part of the gameplay is the new super shots
New gameplay elements have been introduced for FIFA 23. In addition to hyper motion and racing animations, one thing stands out above all: the new “super shot”.
This was presented: On July 27, 2022, EA Sports presented various things that should change your gameplay for the release of FIFA 23. “HyperMotion 2” played a particularly important role in the new gameplay trailer – the revised technology from FIFA 22, which is supposed to bring over 6,000 realistic animations to FIFA 23.
But while you already know HyperMotion in and of itself from the next-gen versions of FIFA 22, there is a whole new feature in FIFA 23. And that could have a pretty big impact on your matches in FIFA 23.
Hold it high with the Power Shot – and hit it
This is the new feature: At a press presentation of FIFA 23, the developers described the “Power Shot” as a “skill-based shooting mechanism”. It works like this:
- You bring yourself into a promising shooting position and aim precisely
- You hold the shoulder buttons of your controller (i.e. L1 and R1 or LB and RB)
- Then press Circle / B
Now a slightly longer shooting animation starts, in which even the camera moves a bit towards your player. Your player swings his leg, takes the measure and then draws a full can.
In the best case, this results in a very strong shot that crashes past all defenders right into the corner of the opponent’s goal. If you do everything right, the keeper only has a limited chance of reaching the ball.
In the worst case, however, your opponent uses the long animation time of your shot to take the ball from you or at least clear your attacker. In addition, you really have to aim accurately – otherwise you’ll fire the ball into the stands instead of the net.
How strong is that? In any case, the Power Shot seems like a mechanic to learn. It’s a bit reminiscent of the perfect timed-finishing shots of past offshoots that were hard to hold – just with more oomph.
The Power Shot works like a “high risk, high reward” calculation – while it’s easy to block if you react quickly, it’s difficult to contain if fired perfectly.

What else changes in the gameplay?
HyperMotion: Basically, the deep dive on FIFA 23 gameplay showed a lot of new insights. This included, among other things, HyperMotion 2: With motion data from two complete, real soccer matches, numerous animations were collected to make the game more realistic.
That’s quite detailed: For example, there are even situations in which players forward passes with their backs instead of twisting in a weird way. Direct contact between players, for example in aerial duels, should also look more realistic.
Especially when it comes to dribbling, HyperMotion 2 should make itself felt. Fast changes of direction and movements should be used realistically and give you more possibilities to vary your game.
sprints: The pace is also being turned again. So there are now different speed types into which your players are divided.
- For example, there are explosive attackers who are very fast for the first few meters, but then level off.
- On the other hand, there are players who need a bit of a run-up, but then become faster than their opponent.
The tiresome speed issue in FIFA 23 should be better balanced. In addition, players such as Kylian Mbappé get their very own running styles and should thus resemble their real role models more closely.
Free kicks: The standards are also being changed again, as the first trailer for FIFA 23 briefly showed. In the new part, use the left stick to set the direction you want to shoot and use the right stick to choose a point where you want your players to hit the ball. This results in different shots with which you can surprise your opponents.
In general, the shooting mechanics in FIFA 23 will be adjusted – numerous animations have been added to provide you with a wide variety of shot variants. So the matches should differ noticeably from each other.
There are also a lot of detail improvements. New skill moves are also included. A first was already seen in the previous trailer and could be damn strong.
