How to score using a German cross in FIFA 23
With FIFA 23 being out for a few months now, the game's meta has gone through several changes during that time period. In the initial phases, the new acceleration styles introduced by the AcceleRATE feature dictated how effective a player was on the virtual pitch, but with the readjustment to the viability of controlled and explosive running styles, lengthy players have been nerfed as well.
In such an environment, gamers are always on the lookout for the best and most effective tactics to gain an edge over their opponents. Similar to every other iteration of the iconic football simulation series, the game's veterans have come up with some overpowered mechanics that can be used to dominate any opposition and easily score goals.
Despite being extremely popular amongst professional players in FIFA 23, this cross has been a viable option to break down defenses for a few seasons now. The story behind its nomenclature lies in the German competitive FIFA circuit, as the cross was popularized by German pros like Benecr7, who took the community by storm by using it at an EA event in FIFA 22.
While FIFA 22 and FIFA 23 are quite different in terms of mechanics and meta tactics, the viability of the German cross has persisted and is now amongst the most effective ways to score easy goals against both casuals and seasoned veterans alike.
Interestingly, the setup for the cross is a fairly simple one. The player must be in possession of the ball in the opponent's half, with the ball carrier being positioned on the wing. The cross should be delivered from a wide position on the flanks and must be received by a player making a marauding run behind the opposition's backline.
