Friday marks the release of EA Sports’ FIFA 23, the 30th and final installment of the popular soccer video game series. EA and FIFA’s partnership is set to end, and next year’s installment of the game will be called EA Sports FC.
Ahead of that major change, the final iteration of “FIFA” will have a few major updates, including a focus on Women’s Football and the inclusion of the upcoming World Cup in the game.
In an interview with Sports Illustrated, Kantcho Doskov, EA’s FIFA gameplay design director, detailed how his team used motion capture technology in two full 90 minute competitive matches to better recreate player movement.
