How to Fake Shot in FIFA 23 (Normal, Running & Speed Boost)

The 22/23 football seasons are underway and that also brings with it the release of FIFA 23. Regardless of which mode you pour the most time into, you’ll want to have a number of skills you can utilize when you’ve got the ball to buy you a bit of extra time, beat a defender, and ultimately score a goal. In this guide, we’ll talk you through how to fake shot in FIFA 23, including the inputs for the normal, running and speed boost variants on PlayStation, Xbox and PC.

Performing a Fake Shot in FIFA 23

The three different types of fake shot you can perform in FIFA 23 can be used in different scenarios to buy yourself a bit of time and space to whip in a cross or take a shot on goal.

The normal version is great if you want to keep the ball under close control. The running version allows you to change direction quickly while sprinting, while the acceleration fake shot is a longer animation but can buy your player a ton of space and time to have a shot on goal or whip a cross into the box.
