FIFA 23 preview with new turf, new smart replays and licensed Serie A TIM

The eye also demands its part. Perhaps in response to that promise, EA Sports has decided to devote an in-depth study to this year’s phased journey towards full reveal of all its features. To the presentation of FIFA 23, that is, these graphics and sound improvements especially the PC version, PS5, Xbox Series X | Regarding S and Google Stadia, or those that still have room for growth, we’ll be able to spot that in the new chapter.

Some things we already know…

Defining it strictly is a rather complex matter. For example, in the past weeks, we talked about FIFA 23’s HyperMotion2, a technology that affects both the behavior of virtual players and how they move. animationson their realism. Therefore, it is an extremely important element for the visual accuracy of the new section. EA Sports talks about over 6,000 new animations and a Machine Learning-driven algorithm that can pick and combine them, at least in the most realistic way possible so far.

Trying to simplify the conversation is a set of new “rules” of the system. solving some situations more elegantly and realistically and thus giving virtual players a few more moves to solve the most challenging situations. For example, new slide animations make this base more effective, making defenders more aware of what’s going on and allowing them to search for the ball instead of just going straight.

A similar argument can be made for jockey, new animations introduced for defenders to stop and kick high balls or side runs to face an offensive player. These are many small additions that the casual player may not notice, but that contribute to further expanding FIFA 23’s variety of shots and situations.

With the release of Power Shot, or Supertiri as we call it, EA Sports also found an “excuse” to include them. tense orbits a bit jealous of the stones that can be thrown in PES, which the fans always shout about. But it’s not just about that: there are now a lot of new shots such as high passes from outside, crosses from three quarters and above all more freedom of the ball, which will take more and more random trajectories and therefore after a realistic, bad or various rebounds.

football on tv

The goal of EA Sports is not to try to imitate the sport, but to make FIFA 23 as similar as possible. football on tv. That’s why the development team is committed to seeking technical solutions that can guarantee the variety of looks and footage typical of television broadcasts.

The most visible element in its field, the new grass maybe it’s the “small change” that has the biggest impact. The development team worked to make the grass more realistic and less homogeneous, where the blades of grass were clearly visible, but above all, which deteriorated over time due to shifts and game conflicts. These signs will remain throughout the game and will tell the course of the match in their own way.

Another factor that does not affect the gameplay but affects the appearance of the games is new networks Doors that are now created with a 3D model and therefore can move more realistically thanks to their own physics. Improvements should be seen by watching the net swell after a goal or interacting with players if they follow the ball after scoring.

The development team also worked on audience in the stands, to make it more diverse and react in harmony with the evolution of the game. More than 500 new official choirs have been added, along with a variety of unique choreographies for the most famous clubs. They couldn’t miss the new official anthems and the music you listened to after the goals. Even the commentary, definitely in English, Italian, must be verified, has been enhanced with many new phrases that will try to describe both the game and the final season in a more varied and dynamic way.

There’s also a new camera with shallow depth of field that brings the game even closer to what’s seen on TV.

Replay AR

The biggest news of the FIFA 23 presentation is likely the introduction of Replay AR HyperMotion2. In other words, EA Sports has created a system that can analyze the action, which is often a goal, and then show it using the most spectacular shots, slowing and zooming to better emphasize the technical action, and putting some interesting data on top of it. such as the speed of the shot on the first hit or the height after the header.

This is an element that does not change the game one iota in this case, but greatly improves the story of the match for both those who want to enjoy their goals and those who watch the game from outside.

A very similar process was used to create new game trailers, which is more fluid in the transition from entering the field to the start of the match. There will be new footage such as drone footage that will mark the start of the most important matches and show licensed stadiums in a whole new light.

To add to the immersion, a variety of new official graphics packs are coming, from WSL to D1F, the first women’s leagues available in FIFA 23. Series A TIM, finally available with official logos, cuts and music. Female referees were also introduced and the FIFA Trainer’s design was revised, a system designed to suggest moves to be made directly in the match.

Sound

Another feature that is always very welcome in EA Sports FIFA and sports games in general is the soundtrack. EA Sports expanded in FIFA 23 TRAXin-game music player so its songs can also be streamed during gameplay so you can hear your favorite soundtrack during games in an easy and intuitive way.

A little news for PlayStation 5 users is that EA Sports has decided to use the built-in speaker in the playground. DualSense to reproduce some specific elements of the match, such as referee whistles or ball hitting sounds. There is actually nothing transcendent, but some might make the idea smile.
