HYPERMOTION2
GAMEPLAY TECHNOLOGY
Powered by Football, advances to groundbreaking
EA SPORTS FIFA HyperMotion gameplay technology take FIFA 23 to over 6000
true-to-life football animations that deliver realism every time you step on
the pitch in FIFA 23:
-
Advanced 11v11 Match Capture:
Xsens suits enable millions of data points to be captured from professional
footballers playing real, high-intensity 11v11 matches. FIFA 23 includes
Advanced 11v11 Match Capture data from two new full-match motion capture shoots
with professional teams - including a FIFA-first motion capture of a women’s
match - and data from five training drills, leading to more high-fidelity,
true-to-life animations than ever before in an EA SPORTS FIFA title.
-
Machine Learning:
Advances to our cutting-edge and proprietary machine learning algorithm bring
football realism to more footballing situations in FIFA 23. Learning from a
cumulative 9.2 million frames of advanced match capture, the algorithm writes
new animations in real time to create natural and realistic football motion
across a variety of interactions on the pitch in FIFA 23.
The result brings FIFA 23 even closer
to both the professional men’s and women’s games seen in stadiums all around
the world, as HyperMotion2 gameplay technology unlocks brand new features that
deliver unprecedented animation quality both on and off the ball:
-
Full Team Authentic Motion: Player
motion data captured from two further high-intensity 11v11 matches using Xsens
suits leads to even more natural football animation in FIFA 23, captured
directly from the pitch. Data captured from both a men’s and women’s match
culminates in a combined total of over 6000 HyperMotion-enabled animations that
make players move and play more responsively and realistically than ever
before.
-
Powering the Women’s Game: Dedicated
Advanced 11v11 Match Capture of a full-intensity women’s match combined with
machine learning technology to power the women’s game in FIFA 23, creating
authentic animation informed by the movement of real-life women’s players.
-
Technical Dribbling:
A brand new dribbling system allows attackers to calculate their path to the
ball more intelligently. Animation transitions are informed by machine learning
between every dribble touch, delivering next gen visuals and variety with the
ball at your feet. Whether you’re taking on a defender for pace or keeping the
ball close to turn away from an opponent, ultra-responsive dribbling makes the
world’s-best move more fluidly than ever before.
-
ML-Jockey: Machine learning
technology learns from real-world defensive situations and movement taken from
Advanced 11v11 Match Capture data to rewrite the jockeying system in FIFA 23,
creating more natural animations as defenders face up to oncoming attackers.
-
AcceleRATE: New
acceleration mechanics provide a new layer of personality to how players reach
their top speed in FIFA 23. From explosive acceleration off the mark to more
controlled or lengthy changes of pace, players will now reach their top speed
at different rates to create more variety in player movement and gameplay in
FIFA 23.
-
Composed Ball Striking: New
animations powered by HyperMotion2 allow for more natural transition between
controlling the ball and shooting. Combining precision and fluidity, longer
high-quality animation creates one continuous motion as players trap the ball,
rotate, and strike the ball towards the target.
-
Kinetic Goalkeeper vs Header Battles: An evolution in two
player interaction technology syncs player animations as goalkeepers rise to
meet crosses against opposing attacking players, creating cleaner outcomes as
keepers claim aerial balls.
ADDITIONAL
GAMEPLAY FEATURES
Enjoy a more true-to-life football
experience in FIFA 23 with new gameplay features that create risk-versus-reward
shooting, new free kick, penalty, and corner mechanics, and more football
variety:
-
Power Shots: A new skill-based,
risk versus reward shooting mechanic brings football’s most powerful and
impressive shots into the game. Create space away from defenders, pick your
spot and trigger a power shot to add additional power to your strike and a
chance of the spectacular.
-
Redesigned Set Pieces:
A set piece redesign gives you more control over free kicks, penalties and
corners, allowing you to choose where you make contact on the ball to change
direction, trajectory, curl, and more. Plus an update to camera positions on
corners better reflects the drama of dead ball situations.
-
On-Pitch Physics: Updated
physics in FIFA 23 makes a number of on-pitch interactions more natural and
realistic:
-
Advanced Impact Physics:
Advanced Impact Physics makes players’ individual limbs more naturally affect
the outcome when defenders block the ball in FIFA 23. Deflections and blocks
from defenders and goalkeepers’ arms, legs, hands, and even fingers will now
have more realistic outcomes determined by the impact of the ball upon them, as
they absorb the power of the shot to affect the ball’s path and create more
visually authentic deflections based on the speed and force of each individual
strike.
-
Net Interaction Physics:
New net physics reacts to the motion of players, responding to individual limbs
and creating more natural interactions with the net as players run, slide, or
fall into the goal.
-
Player Awareness: A new
collision prediction system enhances players’ awareness on the pitch, allowing
them to move intelligently to avoid tackles and collisions.

slide tackles, physical tackles, and even backheel tackles give you more ways
to defend against oncoming attackers.

give you new ways to find teammates, with outside of foot passes, fancy
off-the-back passes, volley passes, and new clearance animations.
-
CPU AI Tactical Awareness:
Tactical enhancements mean AI opponents better react and respond tactically to
the on-pitch situation, including factors like score, match time, and available
players on the bench to change and update formations and playing style
mid-game.
