Also, all follow-up moves can be executed directly. This trick is probably the most annoying, because it simply initiates an insane change of direction, without the player losing speed. As soon as the opponent falls for this move, you can easily run past him. The heel to ball roll has an animation that throws the defender or goalkeeper off balance, even if you're contained in defence with L2 and R2. If you do not press L1/LB, your player will perform a normal heel to heel.

When you are in 1v1 with the keeper, you must hold L1/LB and flick the right stick in the direction of travel from left to right. This skill move has the highest probability to successfully outplay the opponent's goalkeeper. This trick is by far the most effective new trick in FIFA 23. In 3rd place we have a new skill from FIFA 23: The heel to ball roll. Both skills are awesome, but the outside elastico is a bit better. If you turn the stick to the right, the player does an outside elastico. If you turn the stick to the left, the player does an inside elastico. Note the direction in which the player is running, because this also determines the direction in which you have to turn the stick. On the controller, you simply have to turn the right stick once. To perform the Elastico, you need a 5-star skiller. The elastico is still really good because it allows quick changes of direction to the inside and outside without the opponent being able to get a foot in between. EA had to nerf the animation several times because you could simply spam the trick. The elastico was the most overpowered trick in FIFA 21/22. With 4-star skillers, you still have to hold down L2/LB, and the ball bounces a little further away than with 5-star skillers. If a 5-star skiller makes a fake shot and the angle to the ball is right, he performs a scoop turn, i.e. On the one hand, the opponent continues to run, on the other hand, you can pass the ball on directly afterwards or perform a skill move directly for which you have to stand on the spot. With L1/LB + fake shot you make a fake shot to stop, your player stops abruptly on the spot. With a fake shot, you can position yourself for a better goal finish, create space in midfield or fake out the goalkeeper. We would recommend that you always use the cross button (square, X) for feinting, since it's easier to pull off.

On PlayStation it's circle/square + X, on Xbox it's X/B + A. You just have to press the cross or shoot button and then quickly press the pass button. The fake shot is probably the skill most used by everyone because it can be used in any situation and is easy to perform.
