However, the things EA pointed out in its pre-release announcements, like collision physics and deflections look and feel similar to the previous year FUT 23 Coins. While the weight of the players has increased , which is a good thing but players are still crashing into one another and create unrealistic collisions, especially considering the habit of keeping that finger glued to your sprinter button.

A majority of the new deflections that are triggered by an extended foot or leg are only visible in replays, and the some of the replays I've seen these shots, especially those that are power-based can cause painful injuries. Deflections and 50-50s are still favored by the AI particularly when you get used with the latest body models and what they mean for acceleration.

HyperMotion and realistic physics simply do not work. There's just too much sliding and unnatural movements that take away from the realistic results. Sliders such as OS Community Sliders can help slow the game and make it more sim, but they're only capable of doing the job in terms of Physics.

The majority of the new gameplay options in FIFA 23 all come from one thing, HyperMotion 2. HyperMotion forms the basis which the game is built upon, but it's not to get confused with FIFA's game engine. By using 11-on-11 motion capture with Xsens suits, EA was able to make realistic animations, and then integrate the same into a system through Machine Learning, which is supposed to produce animations on in the moment and create "true-to-life" replicas. In the context of FIFA 23 and HyperMotion 2, here's what's new in HyperMotion 2 and how it stacks up.

In today's deep dive I'll be examining the new gameplay features with FIFA 23 to give my thoughts on which features have an impact on the game, the effects (negative as well as positive) they've had, and if there's the potential to improve. To find the list of newly added features buy FIFA 23 Coins, let's refer to the EA FIFA 23 site. In rating FIFA 23, we'll use an easy 1-5 rating with 5 being "great new feature" and 1 being "why did EA even bother with this?" If you want to scope out my review of FIFA 23 it's go here.
