Advantages and disadvantages of the shoe in FIFA 23

The shoe comes to FIFA 23 as one more option to the rest of the shooting catalog, both in the past and in the current generation . When executed, the footballer will run through the animation while arming the shooting leg. During this strip the aim will be manual, that is, without any help: the ball will shoot violently towards the direction in which you take the left stick of your controller.

You will know that you have made one when the camera zooms in on your footballer . Usually these shots finish the goal, especially in one-on-one situations. Its main disadvantage is the time it takes to assemble the leg. Those two-second window means that a rival defender can block the direction of the shot, or steal the ball in front of him if he is even closer to the striker.

Our recommendation? 

Use the shoe as another resource , not as your main shooting mechanic. You will not always have an opportunity so that around you there is not a defender pressing. It works best in the middle of the counterattack, when you can take advantage of the spaces in your favor.
