In FIFA 23, the Hypermotion2 technology will be used for the first time.

EA revealed this in a nearly 10-minute gameplay trailer for the upcoming title.

VANCOUVER, CANADA - After EA hinted at what fans of the series can look forward to in the FIFA 23 reveal trailer this September, here's a deep dive into the gameplay changes of the last FIFA installment ever.

In the 10-minute YouTube clip, you can see, among other things, the brand new Hypermotion2 technology, which will celebrate its debut in FIFA 23.

Ingame.de from IPPEN.MEDIA shows in detail what will change in the upcoming FIFA part due to Hypermotion2.

FIFA 23: Hypermotion2 in action - More motion capture recordings and machine learning should increase realism

Double motion capture shots

: Last year, the hyper motion technology made its debut in FIFA 22. With this, EA wanted to move away from the image of the arcade game and bring the FIFA series back in the direction of the football simulation.

Some motion capture shots were required for the Hypermotion2 technology.

For FIFA 23 even twice as many as last year.

EA had three football games played and had all movements recorded using motion capture for Hypermotion2.

One game was played exclusively by female soccer players.

In FIFA 23, EA is increasingly focusing on women's football.

This caused some FIFA fans to boycott it.

Machine Learning

: Another innovation of Hypermotion2 is the machine learning of the players on the virtual pitch.

Instead of forcing clumsy animations on the players, they are based on what is happening on the pitch and on what has already been learned from motion capture.

According to EA, these are algorithms that will immediately convert what is seen into an animation in FIFA 23.

So EA relies more on machines than people to make the game even more immersive and realistic.

FIFA 23: New Powershots - High risk with high reward

Longshots meta again?

Another gameplay highlight from the FIFA 23 gameplay video was the newly introduced power shots.

These can be carried out very easily by simultaneously pressing the front triggers, for example L1 + R1 on the Playstation, and the shot button.

These are powerful shots, which appear quite strong both in the 16 and from a distance.

This could be an innovation that has a strong impact on the FIFA 23 meta and could replace timed finishes.

However, aiming is essential for a successful powershot.

Otherwise, the game device will very quickly end up on the sidelines.

If you want to experience the new Hypermotion functionalities first hand, you can pre-order FIFA 23 at a reasonable price – well before the release.
