FIFA 23 is here, offering players the chance to play the most realistic football game ever.
Following the successful introduction of HyperMotion technology last year, EA Sports have stepped up the game with the release of HyperMotion2, the most realistic data-capture technology the series has ever seen.
But that’s just one of many exciting new additions to FIFA 23. Read on for five of the most important things you need to know about the new game. READ: Mason Greenwood arrested for allegedly breaching bail conditions
- The introduction of women’s club football
For the first time ever, women’s club football has been added to FIFA 23.
The Women’s Super League and Division 1 Féminine have both been fully licensed this year, bringing some of the best clubs on the planet to the Kick-Off mode.
Women’s international sides remain part of the game and fans will soon get the chance to play with their favourites in the upcoming FIFA Women’s World Cup Australia and New Zealand 2023 mode.
- All-new HyperMotion2 technology
Following on from the success of HyperMotion in FIFA 22, EA Sports have developed the new-and-improved HyperMotion2, designed to take things to the next level.
Available on next-gen consoles only, HyperMotion2 brings over 6,000 new true-to-life animations which will make in-game players move and play more responsively and realistically than ever before.
As part of the new gameplay mechanics, FIFA 23 introduces Technical Dribbling, an ultra-responsive mode of dribbling designed to make things more intricate and exciting.
- The creation of the AcceleRATE system
To maximise the impact of the new dribbling technology, the AcceleRATE system has been designed to categorise players into three different styles of acceleration: Controlled, Explosive & Lengthy.
Controlled is the most common archetype in the game and players with this build can be expected to reach full speed over an average distance, while Explosive players start off at close to their full sprint speed.

Finally, Lengthy players – generally the game’s taller players – will take a little longer to reach top speed, but once they get there, they can retain it for longer and cover ground faster.
- A revamped chemistry system
The 0-100 chemistry system has been removed and replaced with an all-new approach to squad building.
Now scored out of 33, each player in the squad can get a maximum of 3 chemistry, decided by having players of the same nationality, league & club in the starting XI.
Links between specific positions have been scrapped and players will also no longer suffer a drop in their stats if they play with 0 chemistry.
- The World Cup is back
The World Cup update on FIFA 18 was one of the most beloved game modes in series history, and the global showpiece is coming back for FIFA 23.
Expected to launch around the same time as the winter showpiece kicks off in Qatar, players will have the chance to experience the tournament for themselves at home.
There will also be an update for the Women’s World Cup, due to take place in Australia and New Zealand in 2023.
