In the blink of an eye, the game transforms, the crowd roars, and you are in control of crafting that momentous goal that will be talked about all day! But how do you pull off this gaming magic and make the camera zoom?

    How to power shot in FIFA 23

    Get ready to level up your FIFA 23 gameplay! We are diving into the ultimate guide to nailing those jaw-dropping FIFA 23 Power Shots that will have you dominating the field like a pro on PC, PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo. Follow along as we unveil the step-by-step playbook to unleashing game-changing strikes that will leave your opponents in awe.

    • Button inputs: To initiate a power shot, you will need to hold these buttons:
    PlatformPower shot button
    PCLeft Shift + D + Right Click
    PlayStationL1 + R1 + Circle
    XboxLB + RB + B
    NintendoL + R + A
    • Shooting: While holding down the bumper triggers, press and hold the shoot button. On most controllers, this is the 'B' button on Xbox or the circle button on PlayStation.
    • Charging the shot: You will notice a power meter building up as you hold the shoot button. This meter indicates the power behind your shot. The longer you hold the shoot button, the more power your shot will have.
    • Camera zoom: During this charging period, the camera will zoom in towards your player, focusing on their positioning just before the shot is taken. This zoom-in effect signifies that the power shot is being prepared.
    • Vulnerability: Keep in mind that executing a power shot takes longer than a regular shot. Consequently, your player becomes more susceptible to tackles from nearby defenders. Ensure there is ample space around your player to minimize the risk of losing possession.
    • Aim control: Unlike regular shots, FIFA 23 power shots grant full control over aim. Utilize the left stick on your controller to precisely aim where you want the shot to go. Remember, accuracy solely depends on your control over the left stick, so aim with precision.
    • Release and execute: Once you have charged the desired amount of power and aimed accurately, release the shoot button to execute the power shot. The shot will be unleashed with the accumulated power and direction you've set.

    While power shots can be attempted from various positions on the pitch, however, they are most effective when taken from a distance. They have the potential to create stunning goals, especially if taken from outside the penalty box.

    How to turn off FIFA 23 Power Shot zoom

    If you find FIFA 23 power shot zoom effect a bit distracting or if it is affecting your gameplay, here is a quick guide on how to turn off the power shot zoom effect:

    • Pause the game: During gameplay, hit the pause button to access the menu options.
    • Access settings: Look for the Settings or Options tab in the menu.
    • Camera settings: Within the Settings menu, navigate to the Camera Settings or Visual Settings section.
    • Locate FIFA 23 Power Shot zoom: Scroll through the available settings until you find the option related to FIFA 23 Power Shot zoom. 
    • Disable: Once you have located the power shot zoom setting, you can turn it off completely.
    • Apply changes: Confirm your choice by saving or applying the changes in the settings menu.

    Although I am a fan of these zoom moments, turning off the power shot zoom effect may give you a clearer view during those crucial moments when executing power shots, allowing you to assess your surroundings better and make those game-changing plays more confident.

    FIFA 23 power shot is a powerful way to show how you are at FIFA

    FIFA 23 power shot isn’t just about winning matches; it is about making a statement, showing off your finesse, and proving you are not just another player—you are a FIFA maestro.

    Think about it: every time you pull off that epic power shot, you are not just scoring goals; you are announcing to the gaming world, "Hey, I have got skills!" So, when you unleash that power shot, remember, you are not just playing the game; you are owning it!

    FAQs

    What is PowerShot in FIFA 23?

    Yes — FIFA 23 introduced Power Shot as a special shot mechanic. It gives more power and accuracy than a regular shot, but it takes extra wind-up time and requires precise aiming.

    How to get the shot power bar in FIFA 23?

    When you press and hold the shoot button (e.g. Circle on PlayStation or B on Xbox) while aiming with the left stick, a power bar will show up. The longer you hold (but not too much), the more power the shot has — but overcharging or poor timing can reduce accuracy.

    How to take a long shot in FIFA 23?

    To do a long shot:

    • Move your player so they have space and clear line to goal.
    • Hold the shoot button (Circle/B) to charge power.
    • Use the left stick to aim where you want the ball to go.
    • Release the shoot button when you judge the power is enough (too little will be weak; too much may go off target).

    If you're using a Power Shot, hold both bumper buttons (L1 + R1 on PS, LB + RB on Xbox) and then press the shoot button to trigger it — but only attempt when you have space, since it takes longer and can be blocked.
