Another feature seen earlier this year in UEFA is the evolution of FIFA 23's Custom Team Tactics. The feature will let you augment 11 tactical sliders across 140 attacking and 40 defending options FIFA 23 coins. By doing so, you will be able to specify to your CPU teammates exactly what actions to perform in various situations. For instance, on the defensive end, you could direct your teammates as to when and in which positions to bring a help defender to pressure the ball. Custom Team Tactics will probably have the greatest impact online, where potentially each opponent will have teams catered to his or her style of play.

With over 50,000 combinations in Custom Team Tactics, you will have greater control of your teammates than ever before.

Finally, EA has also ramped up one of the most anticipated features from last year's game: Be a Pro. As in FIFA 23, this feature will let you take control of a single player (in player-lock) and master his positional responsibilities. As a striker, this may involve scoring goals, whereas as a defender it may simply involve winning back possession for your team. FIFA 23 carries this game mode further by letting you play a four-season campaign in your attempt to become a national legend.

FIFA 23's focus on improving gameplay should make an already solid series that much stronger. Realistic player physics and branching animations have received positive responses in other EA games and will now add a new element to FIFA's gameplay. Similarly, initiatives to improve team customization will allow gamers and their CPU-controlled teammates to play with greater synergy, limiting AI handicaps. We will bring you more news on FIFA 23 once we learn more at E3 in a few weeks. For more on FIFA 23, check out our over at SportsGamer.
