Many “FIFA” players already know that EA Sports has terminated its multi-year cooperative relationship with FIFA and no longer named the game “FIFA”, and the new episode “EA SPORTS FC24” will be the first appearance of the game after changing its name. After attending the online game launch conference earlier, unwire.hk flew to Sydney, Australia to participate in the non-public “EA FC24” Pre-Beta trial event, and met with senior game producer Sam Rivera for an exclusive interview, let everyone Readers can learn more about the development details of “FC24” and some opinions of the production team on the game.
Senior Producer · Electronic Arts (EA) — SAM RIVERA
Goals and opportunities after breaking up with FIFA
Regarding the repositioning of the game brand, from “FIFA” which has been used for many years to “EA Sports FC”, SAM admitted that his colleagues were not used to it at first, and they also called the old name of the game by mistake. However, after a short period of transition, everyone has become accustomed to calling the game “FC”. The new episode of “FC24” is a new stage in the long-term cooperation between EA Sports and FIFA. He is very grateful for the opportunities brought by the previous cooperation, and the development team is very excited to create a new EAFC brand, especially to add many New technologies such as the improved version of the Frostbite engine, HyperMotionV technology, and AI artificial intelligence are integrated into the core of FC games. And because of getting rid of the restriction of cooperation with FIFA, the new game can freely cooperate with different brands and partners in the world, bringing more different opportunities and possibilities to the game. For example, we have strengthened the cooperation relationship with NIKE in this game. With nearly 30 years of football game development experience, the development team will continue to take “providing players with the most realistic football game experience” as their top priority.
HyperMotionV technology rewrites the history of football games
SAM revealed that the primary concept of “EA FC24” is to bring the most realistic football game. Over the years he has been discussing with other production team colleagues how to create more realistic and natural Animations animations in Motion Capture Studio. Years ago, it was only possible to find professional players to put on equipment full of body sensors to capture and repeat the details of running, passing, ball control, shooting and confrontation. Unfortunately, the effect has not been able to meet the extremely demanding development team. Since 2018, EA Sports has used cameras to capture players’ movements. Although the detailed effects cannot be compared with the current technology, it has made everyone understand that better results can be achieved without relying on players to wear induction suits. Coming to this episode of “FC24”, SAM believes that the new Hyper Motion Volumetric (HyperMotionV) technology is not some major technological breakthrough that can be seen every year. He believes that the new technology has taken a big step in the modern football game industry. In order to rewrite the epoch-making technology of creating football games (A Real Game Changer) and bring more different possibilities to Gameplay, I hope everyone can try it soon.
100% restore the unique scoring action of superstars
Through the new HMV technology, players can directly capture the unique technical movements and details of the players by using the game video. In the past, even professional players used Motion Capture (hereinafter referred to as: MoCAP) to repeat and imitate the movements. The golden ball of the century that restores the original flavor of the superstar is the best example of Halland’s first flying shot in the Trailer video. These sudden and brilliant goals of the century are difficult to restore 100% of the movements even after continuous attempts in Motion Capture Studio, but through HMV technology, they can be presented exactly in front of everyone in the game.
When the reporter asked whether the HMV technology could restore the retired star’s golden ball or the unique twisting action, Skill Moves such as: the Mexican star Brando’s clip wave, Shi Dan’s turn, and the unique interception of Nisda/Madini, SAM He pointed out that HMV technology is absolutely feasible, and in Motion Capture Studio there are many players who are good at imitating the freestyle moves of different stars, and the problem of retired players’ movements can be solved through a single MoCAP.
Will rely more on AI technology to develop games and enhance efficiency
AI and Machine Learning are both very popular topics recently, how can they help game development? SAM pointed out that the emergence of AI (Artificial Intelligence) has changed the process and efficiency of game development. Take the latest AI MIMIC technology of “FC24” as an example. It can learn the subtle running movements and details of different players and apply them to the game (compared with the running postures of Cotton, Charante and Galish in the Demo). Before the emergence of similar technologies, the development team could only process Animations slowly by hand. The animation production team needed to slowly tweak and fine-tune the player’s movements one by one, which sometimes took hours or even days to complete. Now, the movements of thousands of players can be easily reproduced in the game through AI, which not only changes the process of developing the game, but also saves more time. And SAM believes that with the continuous improvement of AI computing capabilities, the development team can definitely use AI to design more major updates and improvements in future games, and hopes to share more details with you in the future.
UT mixes male and female players to promote women’s football + welcome global football fans to form teams freely
I believe that many “EAFC” players in Hong Kong want to know “Why should male and female players play on the same court?” Will Ibaqian Moyu be KO’d by a female star with a higher ball value in one-on-one? SAM said that he understands everyone’s concerns and that this is also a topic that everyone in the Game Community game community has a lot of opinions on. He pointed out that “Ultimate Team is a fantasy mode” UT itself is a fantasy mode. You will not see superstars playing on the same team in reality. We hope to welcome more existing and future players and let them freely Organize different players to play in the same team, and at the same time promote women’s football through EAFC! In addition, SAM also pointed out that the new episode of Ultimate Team mixed male and female football players is a very challenging attempt, which can bring more changes to the game, because every male and female player actually has different personalities, styles, and is also unique. Individuals can show different changes under the new technology, allowing players to bring more flexibility and possibilities in team formation, and he pointed out that he is very excited and confident in the brand-new mixed game experience for men and women.
The game adds a special mechanism focusing on Gameplay balance
He continued, taking Messi as an example, his stature is not tall and his strength is only average. Does that mean he is not a good player? Messi has the flexibility and explosive power that tall players lack, and also has excellent twisting skills. Even if Messi bumps into a tall defender such as Virgil van Dijk in reality, he will lose the confrontation. The principle and performance of adding female football players in UT is as follows: If female players and male players have the same value, same height, and same weight, then the performance of male/female players on the field will be the same, and some short female players In fact, he has good agility and acceleration, and these aspects are not inferior to tall male players. Just like Italy’s Gianna Vallo, who is also of average stature, but is famous for his super sense of position and excellent jumping ability. We want players to experience variety in game play.
Fight side by side with old comrades in arms! Clubs mode supports cross-platform team formation
Finally, there is the question of “club mode” that many Hong Kong players are most concerned about. Can everyone play CLUB (FIFA23’s Pro Club mode) with the same team on different platforms? SAM said that this is also a question that global players are very concerned about. What! In fact, the Engine used in PS5 / XBOX / PC games is the same. The team has been working hard to improve how the server transmits and processes data, and the compatibility of engines on different platforms has been better resolved and no longer exists. Question, so you can team up with friends of the same generation platform host (PS5/XBOX SERIES/PC) or (PS4/ XBOX ONE) to play the CLUB club mode, I believe it will greatly increase the fun of playing waves for all Gamers!
Postscript of activities
SAM said that he likes to participate in this “EA Sports FC24 Gameplay Deep Dive” event, because he can talk about the game with different media from all over the world and receive different valuable opinions. The unwire reporter and other reporters have also tried the new game at the venue. However, since they cannot shoot or record any short videos at the event, they can only briefly spoil players who like to play cards in the middle of the field. People become like strange clouds. A passer like Dibney! Friends who want to know more remember to pay attention to the “EA FC24” game review later!
