The motion capture stage was removed

  • The cameras have been ditched. The motion capture stage was removed. The Xsens suit is the only one left. Eaves says that drift was a concern. We knew joints of FUT 22 Coins players were in relation to one another but not necessarily in space.

    In a virtual sense, it meant players running around would be ten meters away from where they started. The game changer from EA is an LPS system that is local to the player. LPS beacons were installed around the stadium instead of GPS satellites. Players had motion sensors attached to their chests.

    It meant high-quality data could finally be captured during the actual football game. Eaves states that teams from Spain's third tier were chosen because of their historical rivalry. "They're professionally-trained, professional sides with amazing technique. They play possession-based football, with control and finesse. This is great for video games because we want it to be fast and entertaining."

    EA gave no direction other than the advice to coaches and players that the match was "must win". The game did not require an extra edge. Eaves remembers that players were contracted, to ensure that we could take exhausted defenders or fresh forwards as the game progressed. There was a sense of animosity. There were so many fouls during the opening five minutes of the game - it was exactly what we needed."

    Those off-the-ball movements including shouting, pointing and gestures and postures were crucial for EA in making the most of the physicality and excitement of a real-life sport. Eaves states that when a stuntman falls against one of the players in the space of motion capture and then they pop back up. The game doesn't provide the intensity and ferocity of a real challenge. "In this game there is a real physical challenge. We take the anger of cheap FIFA 22 Coins the player and create our own game.
