EA Sports FC 24, the forthcoming game in the series, comes equipped with a trio of core technologies that promise to elevate the authenticity of the football simulation to unprecedented levels. These technological advancements include HyperMotionV, Play Styles, and the revamped Frostbite Engine, as detailed by development team members, Sam and Kantcho in a recent video.
At the heart of EA Sports FC 24’s gameplay is HyperMotionV, underpinned by Volumetric Capture Technology, a significant innovation in the gaming industry. This technology enables capturing real-world movements directly from top-tier football players in high-stakes games, translating those exact motions into in-game animations. HyperMotionV involves capturing the games using a network of cameras installed all around the stadium. The result is a substantial addition of new animations across the gameplay, adding a layer of authenticity previously unseen in the series.
With HyperMotionV, EA Sports FC 24 now mirrors real-world football more closely. Actions such as passes, tackles, and shots, especially those performed by top players in highly competitive matches, are captured and reproduced in the game. Moreover, the technology has enabled the transition from a few dozen unique running styles to over twelve hundred, enhancing the uniqueness of individual players. This feature affects everything from acceleration archetypes to the overall gameplay.
Alongside HyperMotionV, EA Sports FC 24 introduces Play Styles, which are representative of players’ unique abilities on the field. This goes beyond just ratings, encapsulating the distinct approach of each player. The system consists of two tiers – Play Styles and Play Style +, the latter amplifying the player’s unique abilities to a remarkable extent.
Play Styles draw from real-world data, just like HyperMotionV. The development team has partnered with Opta to ensure the assignment of Play Styles is as realistic and authentic as possible. With a total of 34 new Play Styles introduced in FC 24, the game covers various aspects of gameplay and makes players more unique, equipping them with their real-life tendencies and signatures.
Play Styles are applicable across all game modes, allowing players to tailor their teams and individual player characters to their liking, providing a sense of customization and uniqueness to gameplay.
Finally, EA Sports FC 24 is powered by a revamped Frostbite Engine, which drastically enhances the game’s visual experience. Everything from players’ bodies and faces, to the lighting and pitch, and even the movement and wrapping of the kits around the players, is rendered with heightened detail and realism.
This latest version of EA Sports FC features a distinct approach to its gameplay mechanics, resulting in a more nuanced and engaging experience. As the FC 24 journey begins, fans can look forward to further insights into the game’s intricacies in the upcoming deep dives by the development team.
