Matchday Experience
Something the FIFA 23 reveal trailer made clear was that pre-match will have a totally different feel in the new game.
A more immersive experience will hype you up before a big game, with cut scenes of crowds gathering outside the stadium and taking their celebrations into the grounds giving you a greater connection to the match.
New commentary will add to the matchday build-up, with HyperMotion2 giving more realism than ever before and Augmented Reality Replays providing extra detail to your play.
More information will be available soon, with a further deep-dive set to detail everything new that the Matchday Experience will provide.
As EA has stated on their website:
From augmented reality broadcast replays to hyper-realistic pitch surfaces and enhanced stadium atmosphere, get an elevated matchday experience in FIFA 23 on next-gen platforms.
