The official gameplay Deep Dive of FIFA 23 presents the main innovations in video format. The HyperMotion2 technology is shown, but the rest is also impressive.
The basis for the above all technical improvements should be those already made last year FIFA 22 introduced “HyperMotion”. This is now being improved a whole lot for FIFA 23, giving the title an extremely refreshing look on the next-gen consoles.
FIFA 23: HyperMotion 2 makes football simulation even more realistic
More human animations, greater freedom of movement and more realistic motion sequences: The HyperMotion 2 technology uses over 6,000 different faces and movements in FIFA 23, which are intended to ensure realistic game simulations in the new part of EA’s popular soccer series. The technology is made possible, among other things, by recorded, real test games. The technical upgrade not only affects the men’s teams, but also the teams with female players. Speaking of: With FIFA 23, the cover of the Ultimate Edition features a woman for the first time.
In addition to technical dribbling, which promises us particularly smooth and true-to-life running movements from players, we can also look forward to the machine learning jockey and accelerate features. FIFA 23 gets a real AI, with which defenders, for example, study the movements of the attackers and adapt accordingly. The defenders played by the computer automatically start short sprints in order to better defend the spaces against explosive players such as Mbapp, Mane and Co. With three different variants, the Accelerate system always ensures the correct route.
Aside from the adjustments mentioned, we also get a glimpse of the header duels, which no longer look like they were straight out of an action movie. Instead, keepers roll sensibly and watch how they get back to the ground after one or two aerial acrobatics.
Lightning-fast power shots and expert free shots
Many FIFA 23 players should be happy about an adjustment to the supposedly improved Freiste that EA has presented to us in recent years: Finally, we can again easily use the left stick to ensure the right direction and the necessary spin, so that the ball is completely goes securely without detours into the network. The sometimes annoying crosshairs of the last parts will also be dispensed with in the penalty kicks in the future. From now on, only the right timing counts, quite classically.
The power shots, on the other hand, are intended to ensure particularly well-placed and violent shots. We keep the front shoulder buttons pressed when we hammer the shot button to ensure a powerful shot on goal. The ball is followed by its own camera zoom, which is intended to capture the powerful sequence even better and emphasize it visually.
The latest part from EA Sports brings with it a whole range of optical, technical and playful improvements. If you still can’t get enough of FIFA 23 and its innovations, you might also be interested in how the long-awaited crossplay should be integrated into the game. In addition, EA was finally able to after 3 years regain a traditional license for FIFA 23.
