Penalty kicks make for some very exciting moments in FIFA. In FIFA 23, some features needed reworking, and EA made wide-ranging changes here. Free kicks no longer have aiming. Instead, the process was simplified so that players only adjust a line showing the initial flight of the ball. The same applies to corner kicks. Even though corners and free kicks changed, penalty kicks still make a big difference in the game. So how do you take penalties in FIFA 23? We put together a short guide explaining how it's done.

Using the Composure Ring

When players take a penalty kick in FIFA 23, a new ring appears based on the player's composure. To have maximum accuracy and power, it is recommended to shoot when the ring is at its smallest. Players with a high composure rating have a larger timing window, and the ring shrinks more slowly.

Making Use of the New Aiming

As in previous FIFA games, players aim their shots with the left stick. The game sets your target about three meters away from the posts, which makes it harder to shoot wide. You no longer need to break your thumbs trying to take a penalty in the top corner. Instead of steering, the target stays where you want it, putting the emphasis on the player's power and timing. The need to press a second button is removed. EA also confirmed that you can't aim directly at the edges of the posts. A player's penalty attribute affects shot placement quality, and the shot power attribute determines the power and how far a shot goes toward the edges of the goal.
