FIFA 17: shoot penalties - the best tips

Penalties are also the ultimate chance to score in FIFA 17. In our FIFA guide, we show you how you are likely to convert penalty kicks into points.

FIFA 17: convert penalty

The penalties in FIFA 17 have been fundamentally changed compared to the previous game:

For example, there is no longer a display with a cursor to hit the green area and thus sink the penalty in the goal.
This makes completing the penalty kicks in the new FIFA more complicated, but at the same time much more realistic: for example, you have to determine the position of the ball and the start yourself. Nothing works without some practice ...

In fact, FIFA 17 penalties consist of four different steps:

First of all, you can adjust the position of your player before starting with the right stick: If you push it further back, the shooter moves further away from the penalty point. The position actually affects the shot. If you remove your player from the penalty point, he will shoot with more force. If you move it to the left, the player shoots with the inside, it is moved to the right with the instep.
The second step is to start: All you have to do is push the left stick forward, i.e. towards the goal. You can control the shooter's start-up by moving the left stick, after pressing it forward, to the left or right so that the player runs in the appropriate direction before aiming at the ball.
In the third step you determine the shooting power: To do this, press [B] or [Circle], as with a normal shot. However, the penalty shot should always be between two and three and a half bars, otherwise the miss is almost guaranteed. At the same time, you also determine the height of the shot. The harder you shoot, the higher the ball flies on goal.
In the fourth step, you still have to aim the left stick into a corner: You do this by first moving the left stick forward, then very slightly into the left or right corner. However, if the left stick is pushed too far to the right or left, the ball quickly lands next to the goal.

A clever modification of the penalty meter: you can now fool and stop shortly before the shot. To do this, you have to press [LT] or [L2] the moment you want the player to stop.
You can also use Figo style penalty kicks both in the corners and in the center of the goal. All you have to do is press [L1] or [LB] while shooting, the rest of the process is no different from that of a "normal" penalty.
