HYPERMOTIONV

Driving the biggest leap forward in gameplay authenticity and realism to date, HyperMotionV translates the rhythm and fluidity of real-world football into The World’s Game using volumetric data of more than 180 top-tier matches from competitions like the UEFA Men’s and Women’s Champions League, Premier League and LaLiga EA SPORTS. This means that movement in EA SPORTS FC™ 24 comes from teams like Real Madrid, PSG, and Manchester City and that the animations of hundreds of in-game players are influenced by actions of real-world professionals on the pitch. 

Advanced 11v11 Match Capture: 1.3+ billion frames of volumetric data help to power HyperMotionV—full teams playing full matches in the top competitions around the world, captured live by a bank of cameras around the stadiums, meaning data from players influence how they move in-game.  

Machine Learning: Using 590 million frames of Advanced 11v11 Match Capture data—80x more than in HyperMotion2—HyperMotionV teaches the EA SPORTS FC™ proprietary machine learning algorithm how to recreate true-to-football motion, even in real time to make The World’s Game feel immersive and unique.

EA SPORTS FC™ 24 features unlocked by HyperMotionV gameplay technology

Full Team Volumetric Motion: HyperMotionV volumetric data powers authentic 11v11 movement by capturing all 22 players at once in real competitive matches. The result is thousands of true-to-football animations so that both squads move like the top clubs in the world—as a team. 

AI Mimic: AI Mimic takes footballers’ real-world volumetric data and uses advanced artificial intelligence to recreate unique body movements live in EA SPORTS FC™ 24, allowing fans to experience 1,200 of the best footballers in The World’s Game as they really move. 

AcceleRATE 2.0: AcceleRATE 2.0 introduces new ways for players to get up to speed and build momentum with additional acceleration archetypes (now 7) offering more ways to burst past the opposition.

AI True Flight Ball Physics: Artificial intelligence powers AI True Flight Ball Physics, studying hundreds of real-world passes, shots, free-kicks, and crosses and tuning them to make the ball dip, swerve, and soar in EA SPORTS FC™ 24 the same way it does when kicked by some of the best players in football. 

Kinetic Physical Play: HyperMotionV adds more physicality to the game—stronger players will be able to battle with their opponents in new ways and create more space for themselves on the ball. These new animations bring more grit and realism to the way players shield, step in, and jockey for the ball so you can feel the power of every challenge and enforce your presence on the pitch. 

AI Hands: StretchSense gloves capture natural hand movements at a new level of detail and pass that data to AI to generate on-the-go hand motions that mirror how hands, wrist, and fingers move when footballers  play The World’s Game. 

PLAYSTYLES

Optimised by real-world Opta data, PlayStyles dimensionalise athletes, going beyond overall ratings to bring to life the on-pitch abilities that make players special. Each PlayStyle gives players unique capabilities you’ll see and feel that make their way of playing more authentic. PlayStyles+ enhance those signature abilities to world-class standard—giving elite players abilities to play at a level that few others can reach.

There are two tiers of PlayStyles.

PlayStyles: Every footballer in the world has a distinct way of playing—PlayStyles brings this dimension to The World’s Game with signature abilities that take a player’s game beyond overall ratings and help them stand out on the pitch.  Each of the 34 Playstyles, which affect every phase of the game from scoring to defending, are available in every game mode except VOLTA FOOTBALL™. 

PlayStyles+: Only the best players in the world have PlayStyles+, enhancing an ability from special to spectacular. You’ll be able to see and feel the difference, with Playstyles+ helping top players to shine on the pitch. 

Frostbite™ ENGINE

From more realistic SAPIEN player models to the ripple of their kits as they beat a defender and an elevated matchday experience, the enhanced Frostbite™ Engine dials up the detail to make every moment in EA SPORTS FC™ 24 look and feel more like football.

SAPIEN Technology: All-new character technology transforms the way players look and move with realistically redesigned player models that are 10x more anatomically precise and correct down to the millimetre, resulting in smoother animations that reflect the more unique characteristics and body types that make players special. 

GPU Cloth: Kits now move like real-world materials, reacting to a player’s stride, shifting as they change direction, and flowing along with them as they play. The stretching and rippling of the fabric also showcases the athleticism of players, making actions in The World’s Game—from sliding to celebrating—more like the real-world sport. 

Dynamic Match Intros: Dynamic Match Intros help you feel the energy of the match as soon as you load in before getting you straight into the action. Each short, punchy sequence sets the stage before kick-off, immersing you in where you’re playing, who you’re playing, and what you’re playing for. Each experience is tailored to the game mode and importance of the moment, weaving together a pre-match narrative that gives you the most relevant context before launching you into kick-off.

Matchday Menus: Matchday Menus make the in-between moments in matches more immersive, bringing you behind the scenes during the pause menu, half-time, and full-time with never-before-seen angles of the action and—for the first time—footage of the pundits and commentators in previously unseen corners of the stadium. 

Feature Lighting: Players are more realistic in EA SPORTS FC™ 24, with enhanced highlights and lighting bringing the faces of The World’s Game to life. Ground Truth Ambient Occlusion technology also delivers depth and detail to the surface of the pitch, helping players stand out in vivid detail using crisp shading and shadows.
