Penalties in FIFA 20 – Aim
The main change in penalties is that we now have a circle that we must move to where we want to aim. We move the circle with the left joystick , and where we place it is right where we will shoot.
The problem is that the pitcher will move his head to where we point the circle, so it can also be easier for the goalkeeper to guess. And this problem is greater if, for example, we want to target the squad, it will take more time, and it will be easier to guess. So a tip when aiming is to place the circle inside the goal and move it from left to right
Penalties in FIFA 20 – Power
The power is greater the longer we press the fire button = Circle on Playstation or B on Xbox.
Another change that we will see is that around the aiming circle the power circle appears, the greater the more power we give. And that means that the more power, the more imprecision. So if, for example, we aim tight at the stick, don’t give it a lot of power because the chances of missing increase. So unless we dominate a lot of penalties based on practice, the advice is to shoot with a touch of the fire button
Penalties in FIFA 20 – Variations
In addition to adjusting the aiming and power, we can perform certain variants at launch:
Speed up the race
With R2 on PlayStation and RT on Xbox: In addition to throwing faster and giving less time to the goalkeeper, the shot comes out with more force.
Slow down the race
L2 on PlayStation and LT on Xbox: Just the opposite, slower (the goalkeeper may launch early) and a more accurate shot
To the Panenka
Hold down L1 on PlayStation and LB on Xbox when taking the penalty
Time Finish
The truth is that it is not especially effective on penalties, but it is done by pressing the fire button again ( Circle on Playstation or B on Xbox.) When hitting the ball
Penalties in FIFA 20 – How to stop?
To launch with the goalkeeper we only have to direct with the right joystick . Now, so that the launcher does not see where we are going to launch, we recommend not touching the right joystick until the last moment.
