In this guide, we'll break down each objective, helping you decipher the cryptic clues and offering a step-by-step guide to conquer them.

What is the History Mystery lesson in FIFA 23?

Traditionally, FIFA 23 objectives have been like well-marked paths, guiding players with clear criteria and progress trackers. However, the History Mystery Lesson objectives take a different approach, introducing a touch of mystery. Instead of straightforward instructions, these challenges present vague descriptions inspired by iconic World Cup matches or moments. Decoding these clues becomes the key to unveiling the in-game challenges.

How to complete the History Mystery lesson objectives in FIFA 23

The History Mystery objective spans a three-day duration and is accessible in any game mode, allowing players to team up with friends or tackle it solo in offline PvE modes like Squad Battles. The challenge comprises six distinct segments, each with its mysterious requirements. Let's break down each of these segments:

FAQs

How to complete a cross in FIFA 23

To cross the ball, move your winger or fullback down the flank toward the box. Use Square (PlayStation) or X (Xbox) for a standard cross. For a low cross (along the ground), press that button twice quickly. For a driven cross (fast, more direct), press L1 + Square (PS) or LB + X (Xbox). 

What are the hidden tricks in FIFA 23

There are several less obvious moves and techniques you can learn to gain an edge. Some include:

  • Heel Fake (5-star skill move) — fake direction change to confuse defenders.
  • Stutter Feint — tap L2 then flick the right stick left/right to fake movement.
  • First Time Feint Turn — combine press of L1 + R1 + flick of stick during first touch.
  • Fake Shots & Flicks — using a fake shot (Square + Circle on PlayStation) then flicking in another direction can mislead opponents.

These moves depend on your player’s skill-move rating, so higher-rated players can do more tricks.

How to do training in FIFA 23

Go into Career Mode (Player or Manager) and access the Training section. You’ll see drills divided into categories like passing, shooting, dribbling, defending, and set-pieces. Pick drills that suit your players’ positions. Each session raises match sharpness but decreases fitness, so balance them. Also, there's a Practice Arena mode (under Kick Off or Skill Games) where you can freely practice passing, dribbling, shooting, and set-pieces without pressure.
