The synergy mentioned earlier with FC Barcelona players was used to restructure the game dynamics offering a more fresh and realistic experience football simulation.

They describe a technology called “motion match” which helped to create an enormous amount of animations for both attacking and defending and making a more pragmatic action while attacking or defending.

Around October we expect the release of a team-building mode, like FUT, with a name to be confirmed, as well as cross-platform matchmaking and a Match Pass, which could become a seasonal element to the game.
