Something that was expected to last forever in the world of video games was the FIFA franchise, but many in 2022 fell into the reality that it was a name that Electronic Arts borrowed for decades. And it is that when it was confirmed that both companies would terminate their agreement, the fans constantly had in their heads what was going to happen with these annual soccer games.
Thus, not much time was lost, and it was confirmed that the team would continue more titles, but now under the name of EA Sports FC, and since then people have been waiting for the birth of this new franchise in quotes. Thus we arrive at July, with several trailers that have given us a greater certainty of what we are going to be seeing in September.
the boys of AE They have invited us to their offices to take a little look at this new legacy of simulated sports, explaining that it is not only about the name change, but that everything is really going in a new way in terms of gameplay and graphics. We realized that when we were in front of the television and experienced first-hand the beta that has left a good impression on us.
A new way of capturing movement
As is well known, in this game franchise something that has always taken into account is realism, given that the motion capture technique is used to try to put the animations on the avatars, this with players who know many techniques. However, rarely are great sports personalities put on these special suits to be detected by the computer.
In this case, they have developed technology that makes it possible to analyze the movements of real players in television captures, so that the expressions and gestures of their legitimate owners are even more faithful. It is a kind of artificial intelligence that will allow the experience to be expanded for those who seek extreme realism, and that is where the new version of frostbite used in it is noticeable.
It is worth mentioning that it seeks to monitor the physics of the ball to have effects that were previously impossible to do by hand, so not only the players on the field have benefited but also the protagonist of the sport, the ball. We add that the hypermotion is still being worked on, this in order to make the matches feel more and more striking.
But that’s not all about the realistic part, since the sound has been improved, this in order to have a better immersion in the matches, we mean all that euphoria that attendees in real life feel when they see Compete with your favorite teams. So, if the user puts on surround sound when playing, he will definitely feel like he is in a stadium.
Agility at almost all times
The demo that we tried was a bit simple, but I think it was enough to comment on the changes noticed compared to last year’s installment, highlighting that the agility in this type of titles always increases. Now the journey on the court is more dynamic, so the passes and shots of different powers to feel in the skin of the avatars.
In addition, the change of player control is very intuitive, so even people who have played a game of this type in their life will be able to approach it without problems, despite the fact that there are somewhat more technical details. I’m not really that used to these kinds of experiences, I really felt welcome, so it may be whoever’s first sports game.
Something that caught my attention is that emphasis is being placed on PlayStation being the preferred platform to play, since the haptic feedback from the Dualsense is present in the movement, the shots and even when your character falls and rolls on the grass. Sure, it will be basically the same on all platforms, but that extra control will be to the taste of many.
In the same way there is the part of the control of the players, because the movements when stealing the ball, making tackles, blocking a shot at the goal and even making feints look much better than in past installments, and this could perhaps be even better if they hadn’t been limited by releasing the game in last generation. So when they fully reach the current one, it is obvious that we will see one more jump.
In general, the matches have been very entertaining, so the challenges with friends are going to be something with which to spend hours and hours in front of the screen. The best thing is that the implementation of outstanding players is promised despite already having the support of FIFA in these matters.
Practically a couple of months to know the final product
We still have more details to see regarding this game, but this path seems to be going well, and the promise that it will not only be a name change is noticeable, since the controls, graphics, and even sound are noticeable as a work of many months in advance. Obviously, the fun factor is also something that hasn’t been left out, something that fans will definitely appreciate.
Remember that EA Sports FC 24 the next one is released September 29th for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch and PC.
