EA have released a deep dive into the gameplay for FIFA 23 today - which has showcased all the new skill moves featured in the game. Here we have how to do them and everything else you need to know.
Skill moves are a thing of pure joy in FIFA. It separates some of the more accomplished players from the rest. Performing an unreal skill combination can almost be as good as scoring a goal in the game and gives you an extra edge whilst playing matches to outwit opponents.
From humble beginnings of a Maradona or a ball roll in the earlier games, to now over 50 different combinations of tricks and flicks that players can use to their heart’s desire in FIFA 22, they’ve certainly come a long way.
Now we look forward to FIFA 23, and thanks to the recent reveal from EA - we now know that four new skill moves will be added to the game, along with three new fake shots and the implementation of left-footed skill moves into the game.
This is massively exciting, so let's not waste any time diving into things. Here are all the new skill moves that will be featured in FIFA 23.
