Since the release of FIFA International Soccer by EA Sports in 1993, the publisher has worked hard to bring the soccer experience to console players. The first release, which was made available on a variety of platforms including the Sega Genesis, was rudimentary, but it set the tone for what was to come. Every year since then, various enhancements have been made that have resulted in the realistic games that we see today. Now, EA Sports has incorporated some new technology into the game, which should make it more realistic than ever before.

Earlier this month, EA announced that it had used a high-tech new algorithm known as HyperMotion technology in the development of the upcoming FIFA video game. This should result in the game's mechanics being more similar to those of real-life soccer than they have ever been before. It should come as no surprise that a massive game company would put this type of technology to good use right now, given how algorithms are currently transforming a variety of industries.

The betting industry, for example, has benefited from the development of algorithms that are capable of processing large amounts of complex data. Some bettors have managed to elevate horse racing betting to the level of a fine art, as they construct their wagers by taking into account all of the variables. Nowadays, however, anyone can do it with the help of a tool that makes use of Artificial Intelligence to produce algorithm accuracy that is unprecedented in the world of horse racing predictions. On YouTube, this advanced technology is readily apparent. In order to make accurate recommendations about what to watch, the platform processes a plethora of data about each of its users. Spotify, a music-streaming platform, is another example of this. The app makes recommendations to its users based on what they listen to on a regular basis.

Is There a New Feature in FIFA 22?

EA Sports has used a similar algorithm to process data about real-life soccer players, and it is available for download here. It makes use of a combination of motion capture and machine learning, and it searches through thousands of hours of footage from professional players to create its models. It computes things such as how each player receives the ball, what their most common forms of pass are, as well as how they run with and without the ball.

The release of the next generation of consoles, in the form of the Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X, should allow EA Sports to develop a better game by utilizing the improved hardware that these consoles possess. Due to the fact that FIFA 21 was only a cosmetic upgrade for the next-generation consoles, the developers of FIFA 22 will be well aware of the limits of what they can do with their game's mechanics on the powerful new consoles.

Sports games, such as FIFA, have long sought to accurately represent the real-world experience, and they are now closer than ever to accomplishing this goal. Because of the use of advanced algorithms, FIFA 22 will be the most realistic game released to date.
