In the game of soccer, you will be presented with some truly astounding feats of athleticism. Things that only a human being in their peak physical condition could even consider pulling off. When these moves are whipped out in the heat of the moment, they are usually the cause of an eruption of applause and excitement.

But, just because you’re less in shape than say, Christiano Ronaldo, that doesn’t mean that you can’t experience the thrill of an impossible, game-saving maneuver. You can become the team hero in FIFA 23, the latest iteration of the best-selling soccer simulator series.

FIFA 23: How to Perform a Volley Instead of a Header

FIFA 23 ups the ante over previous years by including a ton of new content as well as all of the improvements and upgrades you’ve come to expect from the yearly series. But, if you perhaps are just getting into FIFA, or if you haven’t played the game for a long while, you might need a little boost to become competitive in the online scene as well as the single-player campaign.

There are plenty of ways you could possibly achieve this, but one of the most reasonable is by picking up some highly effective skill moves that you can use to stunt on the opposing team. FIFA 23 has a list of moves that you can do, with a range of complexity in terms of how they are executed. One such move from the higher end of that scale, is the volley.

In FIFA 23, just as in real-life soccer, a volley is when a player strikes the ball while it is in the air, before it has a chance to land. There are some flashy, recognizable volleys such as the bicycle kick, but even a standard kick could be enough to send the ball straight into the net, scoring a goal. There’s plenty to be said about style, but efficiency is more important.

To pull off a volley, All you need to do is press the shot button (Circle on PlayStation, B on Xbox) while the ball is within range of your player and in the air. At a certain trajectory, only a header is possible, but if you’re avoiding that less accurate move, then try to place yourself in a position where a volley is more likely.
