How to Turn on the Shot Meter in FIFA 22

The Shot Meter in FIFA 22 is a tool used to measure the power of the shot that the player is about to take and must be enabled in-game. The Shot Meter is a long-time useful tool in FIFA games, giving a clear indication of how much power will be behind any shot. With the variety of skill levels between players in every league, the Shot Meter is something every player can use at various points.

The Shot Meter lets the user know how powerful their controlled player is going to hit the ball. While it may seem straightforward that a higher score on the meter means more power, there is more to the Shot Meter than that. FIFA 22 has the most refined controls of any game in the series, giving the more mechanically sound players, like Cristiano Ronaldo, more accuracy on high-powered shots. Players with lower rankings, like many players within the MLS group, are going to have a harder time making use of maximum power shots.

Turning on the Shot Meter is especially important for players who struggle to finish goal opportunities. While the opponent’s goalie is bound to make great saves a couple of times every match, an overpowered shot will send the ball over the net and into the crowd. FIFA 22’s many technical features and improvements allow players to have complete control over their shots, so they should have an easier time avoiding overpowered kicks.

How to Enable the Shot Meter In FIFA 22

To turn on the Shot Meter in FIFA 22, players will need to open the Settings menu under Customize. Next, they must select Customize Controls and turn on the FIFA Trainer. Under the FIFA Trainer settings is the Shooting Mechanics Indicator, which gives players the option to activate the Shot Meter. The Shot Meter will then appear above the players during any match afterward.

Other useful mechanics new players should consider using are the Pass Receiver Indicator, Shot Elevation, and Directed Runs Indicator. These are all useful tools in FIFA 22, primarily because the controls are sensitive for turning, dribbling, and shooting the ball. They’re all useful tools for new FIFA Ultimate Team players as well.

Pass Receiver Indicator uses dotted lines to show who is about to receive the ball. Shot Elevation uses an arrow to show the flight path of the ball, and it’s influenced by the shot power and the tilt of the movement keys/stick. Lastly, the Directed Runs Indicator shows where their athlete is running, letting players know if they need to make slight adjustments to the path.

FIFA 22 is available for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Google Stadia.
