HyperMotion 2, which EA Sports said it will discuss in-depth later, will bring another 6,000 animations to the game, a marketing bullet point that lifelong sports gaming aficionados have mostly tuned out. That will extend the work begun with FIFA 22, which delivered motion-captured animations from full, 11-on-11 matches of soccer, played by professionals and recorded by EA Sports Vancouver developers. All of that will be wrapped in a new presentation layer and gameplay animation toolkit the studio is calling HyperMotion 2.

The cross-play expansion will speed matchmaking time, he added further, “We’re already exploring expanding our cross-play capabilities in the future.”įIFA 23 on PC’s feature parity comes two years after the launch of the current PlayStation and Xbox console generation, along the same timetable as FIFA 16 when it delivered PC parity two years after the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 debuted. But, “this is a long time coming for FIFA and we know that our players have been waiting for this,” LaFreniere said.

It’s only available for the same console generation, so, PlayStation 4 with Xbox One, and PlayStation 5 with Xbox Series X. There’s some fine print on cross-platform play. “This is our last FIFA-titled game, after a rich 30-year history,” producer Matt LaFreniere said in a closed presentation last week.

Perhaps most importantly, Windows PC players will now get a game upgraded to the engine that PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X users have played with since 2020.

Women’s professional club soccer will make its debut in FIFA 23, seven years after women’s national teams joined the football simulation in its tournament and one-off play-now modes. If EA also makes the leap for cross-generational crossplay, it’s likely going to mean that the engine used for both console generations will be the same, though this particular feature has not yet been confirmed.EA Sports ends 30-year partnership with FIFA It also means that friends can still play games with each other even if they have different consoles. While this is unlikely to make much difference to the player base on the consoles, which remain large throughout the year, it will be very helpful to players on PC who usually have a far smaller pool of players to compete with. There’s also a heavy emphasis placed by EA going into the next generation on cross-play, where you can challenge and play with other players regardless of which platform they are playing on. FIFA 21 looks set to continue on the Frostbite engine, though other developers in EA’s team have been using other engines to power their games, meaning that a change could still happen for next-gen. The FIFA series has been using EA’s in-house Frostbite 3 engine since FIFA 17, and the Ignite engine before that for this current generation. This year, Juventus are joined by Roma as teams missing from the game, though no confirmation yet as to what name will replace the Rome based club. Legendary Argentine clubs Boca Juniors and River Plate were also missing, all three owing to exclusive deals with rival game PES. One was for Italian giant Juventus, resulting in the team being called Piemonte Calcio, and marking the first time in 25 years that FIFA could not use the Juventus name. Last year’s FIFA was missing some licenses that the series had previously had access to.

EA Play’s Feel Next Level trailer from the EA Play event on June 18 features live footage of Borussia Dortmund’s Signal Iduna Park and Liverpool’s Anfield, meaning that both are likely to be heavily featured throughout. FIFA 21 will be no different, with a huge number of licenses for clubs and players that are faithfully recreated. This allows you to play in all of Europe’s major leagues faithfully, while players on teams, kits, and some stadia are faithfully recreated. The FIFA series has always excelled at the presentation of soccer, providing tailored graphics and images, using official licenses from leagues all over the world.
