Before you start
A full meter starts the three-part Power sequence: power lock, accuracy lock, then a live keeper contest. It is the game's showpiece shot, and it is honest about what it pays out — a Power Strike goal is worth exactly one, the same as a tap-in. What you win is force, keeper displacement and dangerous rebounds.
Step by step
What to actually do
- 01
Build the meter
The meter fills through active team play — the same passing, tackling and shooting you were already doing. It is earned, not found.
- 02
Trigger the sequence
With a full meter, press the Power control to start the three-stage sequence under live defensive pressure.
- 03
Lock the power
The first stage sets the shot's force. Committing it is the point of no return — the sequence is a gamble you chose to take.
- 04
Lock the accuracy
The second stage sets placement. Both locks together launch a real, physical ball — not a cutscene that already knows the ending.
- 05
Win the keeper contest
The keeper contest resolves live: a catch ends it, a parry leaves a dangerous live rebound to fight for, and a winning strike can knock the keeper back into the net's mouth.
Worth remembering
- A parried Power Strike is often the real chance — the rebound arrives with the keeper displaced.
- Power contests carry dedicated replay and highlight priority, so the reel remembers them.
