How Do You Do a Bicycle Kick in FIFA 23? FIFA 23 Bicycle Kick 2023!

As much as everyone loves pulling off a bicycle kick in FIFA 23, it's never an easy move to execute or score with. Just like in real life, getting into the right position and hitting the right buttons at the right time is crucial for landing a bicycle kick.

In this article on how to do a bicycle kick in FIFA 23, we go over exactly which buttons to press and when.

How Do You Do a Bicycle Kick in FIFA 23?

Getting into the right position, with the ball arriving accordingly, is the first priority for pulling off a bicycle kick. As long as the ball comes through the air and slightly behind the player, you can perform it with FIFA's default buttons: L2 + O on PlayStation, LT + B on Xbox.

While the ball is coming to you through the air, holding L2 or LT and then pressing the button you'd normally use to shoot will make the player attempt a bicycle kick.

It's worth repeating: you can't pull off a bicycle kick from every cross. You either need to position yourself slightly ahead of the ball, or the cross needs to be cut slightly behind you. If the cross is played a bit in front of you, you can hit a scorpion kick or a half-volley, but a bicycle kick isn't physically possible in that case. Setting the aesthetics aside, the main reason the bicycle kick works the way it does is that with the ball behind you, you jump backward and reach the ball with your feet.

What Are the Most Important Factors for a Bicycle Kick in FIFA 23?

Above we covered the buttons and the physics rules; here we'll look at what the game's mechanics actually allow.

1. There should be no defender around the player attempting the bicycle kick. If the player is tightly marked or surrounded, they won't attempt the bicycle kick.
2. Applying power between 2 and 2.5 bars with the player delivering the cross is the ideal range for a bicycle kick. It also helps the crosser avoid the defender in front of them and makes the cross arrive a bit higher, in bicycle-kick range.
3. Avoid trying bicycle kicks from corners. Since scoring directly from a corner is already hard in the game, scoring with a bicycle kick off one is close to impossible.

That covers everything you need to know to pull off a bicycle kick in FIFA 23. We'd like to remind you that a lot of factors need to line up to score with a bicycle kick, and it's harder than it looks.
