EA ditched the FIFA license after nearly 30 years, announcing in May 2022 that the future of the series would be called EA Sports FC. They've now started the promotional wheels for the first under the new title, EA Sports FC 24. There's an announcement trailer below and a "gameplay reveal" trailer coming on July 13th.
I wouldn't bet on much to change with the name, beyond what you can normally expect from a new yearly iteration. Probably defenders will be a bit stronger, goalkeeper AI a bit less naff, and the community will find a particularly overpowered kick within three hours of the game's release. My money's on lobs.
EA decided to ditch the FIFA license after FIFA reportedly asked for a huge increase in the licensing fee. EA make billions from their football games, and FIFA wanted a larger cut. EA said no, and they lose little from walking away beyond certain tournaments such as the World Cup. All the player likenesses and so on remain, as they're licensed via separate relationships with leagues, clubs and player organisations such as FIFPro.
We'll find out more when the gameplay trailer arrives on Thursday. It also seems likely that FC24 (which I assume is the acronym everyone will go for) will be released in September, as FIFA games always were, if a normally reliable data miner is correct.
The trailer focuses on some of the brightest young players currently making waves in the game at the moment, including Mbappe, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joo Flix and Erling Haaland. From a game feature perspective, it shows off new innovations in fan favourite modes, from more ways to play with friends through new social elements, to having more control than ever to manage every career moment.
Hey . So when i got tiny living installed and working there where no problems. I played the game and it gave me a free house - the one from the trailer - and i clicked exit and started a new game and they never gave me the house again. Just incase your wondering it was this one
FIFA 23 will mark the end of an era, as it will be the last title in the legendary partnership between EA Sports and FIFA that has produced nearly three decades' worth of successful games. With FIFA 23 holding such importance, there is a lot of hope that EA Sports will pull out all the stops to ensure that the final title in the FIFA franchise will be a memorable one. With the recent release of the first trailer, many fans are excited, as it hints at many new features and modes that are sure to excite soccer fans around the world and make FIFA 23 one of the most anticipated soccer games in recent memory.
The FIFA 23 trailer is mainly a cinematic look at the upcoming game, with the commentary discussing all the changes and new additions. For the first time, it also heavily features female soccer players, possibly meaning that female leagues and game modes will be more abundant to give fans a chance to experience a side of soccer that has not been prevalent in gaming. From a new animation system to a brand-new free kick system, FIFA 23 is set to give players the most realistic soccer game on the market while paying homage to the partnership between two giants in the industry.
While the first iteration of HyperMotion was introduced in FIFA 22, many fans thought that the animations were limited, and the game did not feel like it was played by professionals since the motion capture used two teams of non-professionals to get the animations. HyperMotion 2 seems to be a major step in the right direction, as it uses new motion capture technology that gets data from actual professional-level matches and gives fans an utterly realistic experience. FIFA 23 promises tons of new animations, for both players on the pitch and fans in the stands, as well as a boost to realism since the animations used are captured from real players in real games.
With EA Sports and FIFA regaining a few of their lost licenses, fans are excited to play with real team names and stadiums once again. In the trailer, fans got a look at new animations that could be used in the game, including spectators on the streets outside the stadium before the start of the game, and a stadium filled with noise and atmosphere to a level that has not been seen in other FIFA titles. Further, the brief look at the different stadiums also showcased the possibility of a dynamic weather system that could alter the way a match is played, as rain can start or stop midway through the game. These features could bring a heightened level of realism and make every goal conceded or scored seem more rewarding.
There are two aspects of the free kick system that were shown in the trailer. Gamers will now be allowed to place a player lying down behind the wall to offer more protection from low-driven shots, and they will also be seeing a change to the shooting mechanics of free kicks. The new systems give players more information about the free kick, including distance and the possibility for a goal, as well as a new aim system that seems to give players more feedback. There will also be a circle around the ball that will determine where the player will strike the ball which can affect spin, dip, and power, giving players more control over their set pieces and allowing FIFA fans to try new tactics while taking free kicks.
While game modes in recent FIFA titles have felt lackluster due to the repetitive process and lack of changes, fans were hoping that the trailer would bring news about additions to Career Mode and other popular game modes. Unfortunately, the trailer did not have this, but it could have hinted at a new Career Mode option where fans get to control a national team as they try to win multiple World Cups. In past titles, Career Mode has allowed players to control a team at the club level and accept jobs from international teams, however, with the World Cup playing a big part in FIFA 23, it is likely that fans will get a chance to start a Career Mode as an international manager, and make big decisions about the matches, lineups, and training of their selected team.
FIFA 23 needs to be the most successful title from EA Sports to prove that the company is more than capable of producing great soccer games, even though recent titles have not lived up to the hype. The new animation system, changes to gameplay and atmosphere, and the new World Cup game mode can all shape the future of soccer titles produced by EA Sports. With FIFA 23 marking the end of the FIFA and EA Sports partnership, the success of the game will be of utmost importance to properly pay homage to the three-decade-long work that has made FIFA titles so popular.
As previously announced, Cristiano Ronaldo is this year's cover athlete, and the Real Madrid superstar is also heavily involved in the latest trailer for the game. The new trailer was first shown at Gamescom 2017, and features skill moves, wonder goals, and incredible atmospheres led by the likes of Ronaldo, Antoine Griezmann, Thomas Muller and Dele Alli.
The finalised game box features Ronaldo in his 2017-18 Real Madrid jersey, with the previous previews all showing last year's kit, while PSG's Neymar also briefly appears in the trailer. This new trailer clocks in at over a minute, and features a remix of New Order's classic 'Blue Monday' by DJ Mike Relm, hinting at the featured music in FIFA 18.
Just below, you can check out the brand new gameplay trailer FIFA 22, which premiered earlier. The new gameplay trailer goes big on the new Hypermotion technology, which EA previously revealed would be exclusive to the next-gen versions of FIFA 22 on PS5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S.
If you're unfamiliar with this brand new technology being touted in the trailer above, it basically boils down to overhauling how individual players move. EA has actually motion-captured full 11 on 11 soccer matches for the purposes of generating even more realistic gameplay, and the result, as you can see in the trailer just above, is pretty impressive.
"The biggest animation refresh in FIFA history" is taking place in FIFA 22 through Hypermotion, announces the trailer above. Previously, EA has motion-captured individual players to accurately captures the nuances of their movements, but this time they've motion-captured 22 players at once, meaning the motion capture reacts to other players.
There are well over 4,000 brand new player animations in FIFA 22, which works in tandem with machine learning having analyzed over 8,000 frames of match data. The AI of FIFA 22 is also getting a major overhaul, as the computer-controlled players can now make over six times the decisions per second that they were able to in previous iterations. It sure sounds like EA's really overhauled plenty of aspects of the new FIFA.
It's all building towards one impressive release for EA's sports franchise later this year. FIFA 22 launches on October 1 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S, although as we mentioned earlier, all these new features are next-gen console exclusives. Additionally, if you want to upgrade your copy of FIFA 22 on the PS4 or Xbox One to the next-gen versions, you'll need to shell out $99 for the Ultimate Edition of EA's new game for a next-gen upgrade to be included.
