One of the main focuses of FIFA 23 was to make it the most authentic entry in the series ever. To do this, EA has improved its HyperMotion 2 motion capture system to make players look more lifelike than before. The data collected using this system delivers over 6,000 realistic animations from real matches to games. Players now run, kick, and tackle with motions so realistic that you’ll forget you’re playing a soccer video game.
EA presented several features made possible by this innovative technology. FIFA 23 features augmented reality broadcast replays, making matches more immersive. The environments have also been upgraded, including surreal pitch surfaces and an enhanced stadium atmosphere complete with most of the audience songs and animations from the series.
The world isn’t the only enhancement to FIFA 23. The actual players and sports have also been upgraded, with more realistic physics present in every part of the game. A direct example of the power of HyperMotion 2’s features are female players and their new realistic movements, which would not have been possible without new motion capture technology.
With over 19,000 players, over 700 teams, 100 stadiums and more than 30 leagues in FIFA 23, you’ll enjoy this new realism for hours on end.
Control more players

Among these additions is a new skill-based risk-reward shooting mechanic, more intuitive free kicks, penalties, and corner kicks.
