As the last game in the 30-year-long franchise, players want to know what has actually changed.
Here’s our round-up of all the new features in FIFA 23:
What new modes are coming in FIFA 23?
All modes in FIFA 23 have carried over from existing titles including Career Mode, Tournament Mode, FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT), Pro Clubs, and Volta.
However, there are some new ways to play inside each mode.
Career Mode has completely revamped the way players make progress. There are now Personality Points that change the way your player develops.
Real-life managers have also been added to Manager Career Mode, using the real manager’s likenesses.
The women’s Premier League and Ligue 1 clubs have been added to Tournament Mode.
Pro Clubs and Volta now have shared progression, so playing these modes is less of a grind.

A number of new gameplay mechanics have been added to FIFA 23.
Power Shots are a new way to score goals using a three-button input. They take time to execute but have a higher chance of scoring.
Free kicks, corner kicks, and penalty kicks all work in new ways.
FIFA 23 has tried to put more importance on defensive players this year.
The goalkeeper and defensive player AI has changed, but so far it seems that it’s easier to score than in FIFA 22.
This will likely be improved upon in a later update.

Nets are in 3D for the first time. The pitch is more realistic than ever before, and when you skid you leave a streak.
Hypermotion2 gives players more realistic animations.
The most famous players have had their specific movements captured in-game.
Female players also have their own animations now, compared to last year when they were men who just looked like women.
