The Most Authentic Football Gaming
Experience, Powered by HyperMotion Technology
Powered by HyperMotion technology, FIFA 22 on PlayStation 5,
Xbox Series X|S and Stadia combines Advanced 11v11 Match Capture
and proprietary machine learning technology to deliver the most
realistic, fluid, and responsive football experience, unlocking the
raw emotion, passion, and physicality on the pitch. HyperMotion
technology enabled the integration of the first-ever motion capture
of 22 professional footballers playing at high intensity. EA’s
proprietary machine learning algorithm learns from more than 8.7
million frames of advanced match capture, then writes new
animations in real time to create organic football movement across
a variety of interactions on the pitch. Whether it’s a shot, pass
or cross, HyperMotion technology transforms how players move on and
off the ball.
“HyperMotion technology will not only revolutionize the FIFA
franchise, but it will also forever change the sports video game
landscape,” said Nick Wlodyka, GM, EA SPORTS FIFA. “Our team has
spent countless hours listening to community feedback and fine
tuning gameplay to provide an innovative title that allows fans to
tap into the raw emotion of the game like never before.”

Team (FUT) mode and redesigns how players compete in Division
Rivals and FUT Champions, creating a more accessible way to test
skills and progress against other players. The new title also
