For FC 24, we carried out twice as much real-world motion capture compared to the first iteration of HyperMotion. Using Xsens suits, we captured millions of frames of animation from two full high-intensity football matches with professional teams, including the complete motion capture of a women’s match. In addition to five highly skilled training drills, these new captures help us bring more real life football elements to the virtual pitch.
This technology powers areas of the game such as Full Team Authentic Motion, Women’s Football, Technical Dribbling, AcceleRATE, Composed Ball Striking, Kinetic Goalkeeper vs Header Battles, and more.
By the way, we’ve also added short summary clips for many sections of this FC 24 Gameplay Deep Dive featuring Kantcho Doskov, Sam Kovalev, Shauna Games, and Shelden Rogers. If you don’t have time to read through this entire article in one go, the summary videos provide an overview of what’s new in FC 24 along with footage of our new systems and mechanics in action. Note that these clips were recorded during the development of FC 24, and information within it may change or become updated over time as we finalize the development of FC 24.
Advanced 11v11 Capture – This is one of the things EA says helps and we just have to smile and nod. By using motion capture on real games of football (as it did for FIFA 22), EA claims everything is more realistic this year. We can’t really measure that based on that alone, so I’m just going to smile and nod.
