FIFA 23 Penalty Tutorial: How to Score from the Penalty Spot

Penalty shootout just got even easier in FIFA 23 compared to FIFA 22. Instead of having to shoot a circle perfectly into the corner, this year you just have to find the right moment before the shot – missing the goal is then almost impossible.

Let’s take a look at the instructions: you will see how the circle around the ball gets bigger and smaller (the color changes from red to green). The aim is that you click at the moment when the circle is particularly small (green). Since the circle changes its size quite quickly, our tip: click the shutter release button a little earlier so that you are more likely to catch the perfect moment.

Then how do you manage to score? It’s very simple: Aim neatly in the corner, ideally in the upper corner of the goal. You don’t have to be too sensitive here on the controller, because the penalties rarely go wrong in FIFA 23.

At first you might think, “OMG, I can’t see where I’m shooting without a circle!”. But after a penalty loop or two, you get a feel for how easy it is to aim perfectly for the corner.

FIFA 23 Guide: What is the best way to save a penalty?

Of course, the question still remains, what is the best way to save the penalty shootout in FIFA 23? We here at EarlyGame also have to take a deep breath and say: Difficult question. In recent years, it has sometimes been possible to see from the player’s eyes which corner they want to shoot into. In FIFA 23 this is unfortunately no longer really possible.

So it’s just a matter of luck here. Of course: A good goalkeeper is very important and increases the likelihood that if you are in the right corner you will save the penalty. Weaker goalkeepers are often too lost at FIFA to let the ball in at close range. But maybe that’s just momentum.
