a video that presents all the novelties in terms of gameplay

The least we can say is that the communication around FIFA 23 is set like clockwork. Indeed, after unveiling the cover of the Ultimate Edition (which will feature Kylian Mbappé and Sam Kerr), those of the Standard Edition, the first trailer for the game, the new duo of commentators (Omar Da Fonseca and Benjamin Da Silva ) as well as the great return of Juventus, Electronic Arts offers to discover an 11-minute video in which the main novelties in terms of gameplay are presented.

Introduced in FIFA 22, HyperMotion technology has been boosted to achieve twice as many real captures. “In the end, it gives us more than 6,000 new realistic animations transferred from the field directly into the gamewe are told. And in addition, our scalable learning algorithm manages nine million data frames captured during these sessions. In short, we have more data captured than ever before.“HyperMotion2 has made women’s football more realistic, as EA Vancouver developers have been able to include a whole host of player-specific animations.

Dribbling is also impacted by HyperMotion2. “We used the new animations to improve the responsiveness and visual quality of dribblingsays the studio. It brings more personality.“The same goes for the defenders, who will be much more flexible on their support in order to intervene as efficiently as possible. The players’ ability to accelerate has also been revised, as we explained in our preview of FIFA 23, which will make races less predictable.

FIFA 23 marks the appearance of Power Shots, the equivalent of Stunning Kicks in eFootball 2022. Whether first intention or after a dribble, it will be necessary to have enough space to trigger them, the animation being slower than a classic shot. Set pieces have also been redesigned. For example, on free kicks or corners, it will now be possible to choose the point of impact of the ball using the right stick, which will control the trajectory of the leather. Regarding the penalties, you will have to be in sync with the new calm bar to unleash a shot that is both powerful and precise.

In addition, EA Vancouver promises goalkeepers who are more natural in their reactions and will be less likely to release the ball stupidly at the slightest contact. Finally, the video ends with a festival of skill moves to hurt the opponent even more.

We remind you that the release of FIFA 23 is scheduled for September 30, and that it will be the last opus developed in collaboration with FIFA. Indeed, Electronic Arts has decided to go it alone as evidenced by the announcement of EA SPORTS FC, the new name of its football simulation.
