FIFA 22 is almost here and EA Sports has slowly been releasing information on all of the new additions and improvements players can expect from the game. A trailer has just been released which highlights some of the new features that are coming to the Career mode of the game.
Like every year, FIFA 22 promises to improve on its predecessor in a variety of ways. Most noteworthy is the new HyperMotion technology that is set to deliver the most realistic and fluid gameplay experience in the series. It uses Advanced 11vs11 Match Capture with proprietary machine learning technology to get the result, and will only be available on the PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Stadia versions of the game.
The biggest new feature in Career mode of FIFA 22 is the ability to create clubs. Players will be able to design their own crests and kits, and completely change the look of their stadium. The created club’s philosophy, goals, expectations, and finances are also fully customizable. Player Career mode now implements an objectives system with performance related challenges for every match. The most exciting feature is the new growth system, that allows players to improve their created Pro by spending skill points earned through training and playing matches.
Players can also unlock various perks, such as a five-star weak foot, as they level up. A lot of new post-game cinematics have been added to the game that show interactions between players and reflect on the latest performance. The trailer ends with a small voice clip from Alex Scott, who will be joining the commentary team for the game. With significant changes coming to this year’s release of Konami’s Pro Evolution Soccer series, FIFA 22 is the perfect opportunity for EA to focus on the single player aspects the game.
Career Mode has not been high on the list of priorities in recent years. Considering the amount of money Ultimate Team brings, it makes sense that EA would choose to focus on the most popular game mode at the expense of others. Fans who do not care for the competitive aspect of the game have been voicing their disappointment for many years now. Thankfully, all of the features mentioned in the trailer show that a lot of attention has been given to key areas of both Player Career as well as Manager Career modes. It does seem like EA has given enough thought to game modes outside of Ultimate Team to warrant a purchase from the targeted audience.
FIFA 22 launches on October 1 for PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
