Fifa game9/22/2023 ![]() ![]() This dribbles the ball at a pace a step slower than a sprint, but fast enough to demand attention from defenders. It’s worth pointing out the new Controlled Sprint, thankfully triggered by a simple input command (Hold R1 on PlayStation). Here, perhaps, hides FC 24’s true skill gap not to be found in big brain tactics or meta-positive Team of the Week cards, but in the mastery of the wrist-straining Swerved Precision Pass. ![]() The midfield maestro’s delicious passes, those defense-splitters that bamboozle camera operators as much as they do hapless opponents, are now possible, EA Sports says. EA Sports took inspiration from Kevin De Bruyne (yes, another Man City player - senior game design director and lifeline Man City fan Matt Prior must be loving this). They’re tricky to land, particularly the Swerved Precision Pass, which, when used on a DualSense controller, forces you into a bit of a claw hand position. In-game, these passes feel like the manual passing of old, so it’s not an entirely new idea. Each type paints a line on the pitch that shows the direction of the pass you’re about to attempt. There are three types (we’re using PlayStation controls here): the Precision Pass (R1 + Through ball) the Precision Lob (R1 + Lob) and the Swerved Precision Pass (L2 + R1 + Through ball). ![]() More interesting pitch-side is the addition of Precision Passing input commands. Jude Bellingham, now at Real Madrid, is expected to be one of the best midfielders in FC 24. But these power-ups will probably prove the difference-makers at high-level online play. The hands-on build included just two men’s teams (Man City and PSG) and two women's teams (Chelsea and Lyon), each of which was packed with high-rated players, so it was hard to tell if a particular player benefitted much from the addition of a PlayStyle. The fear is one in particular will be deemed essential for online play, and encourage a single way of scoring. The hope is their sheer number will help keep gameplay balanced. Will these PlayStyles, particularly the extra special PlayStyles+, end up overpowered? It’s a fair question at this stage. Best to turn this visual indicator off once you get sick of it. Players, particularly fans of Ultimate Team, will know which PlayStyle their players have. It’s a bit distracting and rather pointless. This is reflected in-game: you’ll see a player’s Play(insert diamond here)Style pop up above their head when they’re on the ball. Brand wise, FC 24’s “PlayStyles” logo has a diamond in between “Play” and “Styles”. ![]()
