Getting through defenders is an acquired skill in FIFA 23. While a single pass can be enough to get past defenders, you’ll need to get creative in some cases.
Skill moves allow players to outplay their opponents and create openings. There are plenty of skill moves in FIFA 23, ranging from simple ones to more complicated tricks. While performing step overs and fake shots will require little to no effort, your opponents may start anticipating them if they’re the only moves at your disposal.
Fancier tricks like the rainbow flick can help players catch their opponents off guard in style. Performing a rainbow flick is considerably harder than a simple step over, and it’ll take some practice so you can reliably use the move against a real opponent.
