A new FIFA 23 gameplay trailer was released on July 27, 2022. Many new features were introduced there – but a curious error is currently attracting the attention of players.
This is the error: As the user “Raks-” noticed and shared on the FIFA subreddit, a player in the FIFA 23 gameplay deep dive somehow falls off the grid quite a bit.
While Bellingham is in the front of the picture showing how “Technical Dribbling” is supposed to change the game, a player is just standing around in a T-pose in the background. He holds his arms to his sides and stares straight ahead.
You can see the exact spot in the trailer at 3:06 minutes:

This is how the community reacts to the error in the FIFA 23 trailer
What players say: The post is currently at the top of the FIFA subreddit with over 2,900 upvotes and more than 129 comments. Entitled “EA doesn’t really let any player t-pose in the official gameplay trailer,” some laughed at the apparent flaw in the trailer.

There are also concerns in the discussion post on the “Gameplay Pitch Notes” (via reddit). Although some elements are praised, such as
On the other hand, it is noted that there are big terms again, such as “technical dribbling”, “composed ball striking” and the like. But some players doubt whether there are really big changes that are clearly noticeable in the game.
Other players, on the other hand, are positive about the gameplay (via reddit):
“Some of what they do is really good. There are a lot of bugs from EA and they patch it a lot making it less and less like the launch version, but you have to consider the sheer volume of people playing this game, it’s hard to serve them all,” says a user “KingTocco”.
In the end, all that remains for now is: wait and see. More content and details about FIFA 23 are expected to be announced in the coming weeks, which will give a deeper insight into what’s in the game.
