Hypermotion Gameplay Technology
Brand new for EA Sports FIFA and on next generation consoles, HyperMotion combines two technologies for the first time ever, revolutionising football gameplay:
Advanced 11V11 Match Capture
Xsens suits enable motion capture from 22 professional footballers playing at high-intensity for the first time. This unprecedented volume of high-quality real-human movement data powers how both individuals and teams move across FIFA 22
Machine Learning
Learning from more than 8.7 million frames of advanced match capture, our cutting-edge and proprietary machine learning algorithm learns from over 8.7 million frames of advanced match capture, then writes new animations in real time to create organic football realism across a variety of interactions on the pitch.
Full Team Authentic Motion
A fundamental leap forward, Xsens Suits were used to record data from all 22 players playing at high intensity for the first time ever. Data captured from every touch, tackle, sprint, and duel results in the biggest animation refresh in FIFA history, with 4000+ new animations added - over three times more than in FIFA 21 - raising the footballing intensity, responsiveness, and physicality of every player in the game to unlock the most true-to-life movement in EA Sports FIFA history.
Tactical A.I.
Driven by the power of the new generation of consoles, Tactical A.I. creates deeper intelligence across all 22 players; giving each individual footballer the ability to better understand their teammates’ and opponents’ formations and movement to create a new level of tactical realism. In attack players can now make up to 6x more decisions per second, resulting in better awareness of their surroundings, smarter runs in build-up play, and more speed in reacting to loose balls. Rewritten defensive AI means teams now operate more as a unit, retaining their shape to move across the pitch and cover vacant space.
Composed Ball Control
Powered by the animation refresh, controlling the ball in FIFA 22 is more natural and fluid than ever before. Longer two-touch animations enable better control of aerial balls, more agility when trapping ground balls, and more strength in shielding situations to give you new ways to drive forward in attack.
Ml - Flow
Our machine learning algorithm reinvents how animations work in sports video games, delivering greater fluidity and visual realism than ever before. Learning from more than 8.7 million frames from Advanced 11v11 Match Capture, the ML - Flow algorithm writes new animations in real-time, enabling players to better adjust their stride and running cadence on approach to the ball to control or strike it more smoothly.
Kinetic Air Battles
Enhanced two player interaction technology syncs player animations, creating greater realism and responsiveness as they jump to battle for the ball. See defenders and attackers push, pull, and jostle as they rise to meet crosses, clearances, and long passes, increasing quality in headed situations and creating cleaner outcomes as players fight to be first to the ball.
Player Humanization
Powered by Advanced 11v11 Match Capture, new off-ball player animations and ambient behaviour help bring on-pitch characters to life. See opponents talk, point, and direct each other based on the action, along with updated intensity-based locomotion that matches players’ urgency to make FIFA more realistic and immersive than ever.
Goalkeeper Rewrite
A brand new goalkeeper system brings a new level of intelligence to the last line of defence, unlocking more reliable shot-stopping and smarter decision-making between the posts. In FIFA 22, goalkeeper positioning personality replicates the different styles of keepers throughout the game - to represent the lightning-fast reflexes of world-class shot stoppers.
Explosive Sprint
A new gameplay mechanic that changes the dynamic of one-on-one situations, Explosive Sprint gives you more control over acceleration when dribbling or defending. Lure opponents in and choose when to unleash your full speed to get away from the defender as you drive your team forward in attack.
True Ball Physics
Real-world data imported into FIFA 22 takes the game’s ball physics to a new level of realism. Tuned parameters including speed, swerve, air drag, air resistance, ground friction, and rolling friction mean every touch, trap, shot, volley, pass, and dribble will look, move, and fly like the real thing.
New Attacking Tactics
New Attacking Tactics give you more control over how you want your team to play. Set up your team with different styles in each half of the pitch: keep the ball in your half and explode into attack with fast build up in the opponent’s, play direct from box to box, or line up in your own unique style.
Living Stadiums
With the power of next-generation consoles stadiums have been overhauled to recreate the iconic, authentic atmospheres from football’s most celebrated venues.
Dynamic Lighting and Pitches
From the moment the first whistle blows, an upgraded lighting system adds new levels of vibrancy and detail across the entire match. The detail extends to the blades of grass too, with new pitch textures that change dynamically across 90 minutes.
Big(Ger) Goal Moments
Building on the feature introduced in FIFA 21, new crowd and player animations, camera angles, and signature celebrations for three times as many players as FIFA 21 raise the excitement of Big Goal Moments even further, bringing you closer than ever to experiencing the rush of last-minute winners or match-saving equalisers.
Enhanced Matchday Commentary
Immersion in the game doesn't stop on the pitch; it's also been brought to the commentary booth. All-new commentators including Stewart Robson, and PA announcer Dominic Walker are joined by Alex Scott to bring fresh life to the calls across matches. A new system allows commentators to interrupt each other as the action heats up on pitch.
Pre-Match Anticipation
New pre-match dressing room, warm-up and walk-out animations build the anticipation before big matches. Custom music during match introductions and when the ball hits the back of the net have been added for multiple clubs across Europe, elevating the feeling of playing at home to new heights. New pre-match stadium elements electrify UEFA Champions League atmospheres for some of the biggest clubs in Europe to enhance the matchday energy.
Enhanced Humanization
Player bodies have been overhauled to better reflect the athleticism of top footballers. Dynamic crowd behaviours reflect the match location and the action on-pitch: crowds will leave early if your team is losing badly, dynamic TIFO’s unfurl to celebrate star players, and off-ball cut scenes better reflect real-world broadcasts.
Next-Gen Net Physics
Next-Gen Net Physics and audio amp up the excitement of the most important moment in football. More visual elasticity, spring, and shake combined with enhanced audio cues emphasise the drama of every goal, while haptic feedback on PlayStation 5 lets you truly feel the sensation of the ball hitting the back of the net.
On-Pitch Audio
All-new audio functionality wraps you in the sounds of the stadium to pull you further into the match on compatible hardware. Hear your team-mates’ shouts, as well as stadium ambience that helps make games sound like you’re hearing them from the pitch.
Deeper Match Analysis
A complete revamp of the Match Facts screen showcases enhanced possession, shooting, passing and defending stats with exciting new visuals, allowing you to more thoroughly understand, analyse and improve your performance after each game.
