FIFA 23: Thomas Tuchel can train FC Bayern

This year is the last time a FIFA from EA Sports will be released. Publisher EA has not extended the expiring contract with the world football association FIFA and will therefore send EA Sports FC onto the pitch next year. On September 30th, however, FIFA 23 is still coming onto the field, which can now be pre-ordered. In the meantime, the publisher has presented the news about the career mode. For the first time, more than 350 licensed coaches are included in FIFA 23, with just under 30 coaches also having their real appearance.

A touch of F1 Life in FIFA 23

In career mode, it is possible to hire licensed trainers. So if you always wanted to see Jürgen Klopp at FC Bayern Munich, you can fulfill this dream with FIFA 23. With enough negotiating skills, Pep Guardiola could also be transferred to Hertha Berlin. If you don’t have much time, you can only play highlights in a football game instead of the full match. The number of playable key moments varies depending on the qualities of the teams. There is also an analysis of transfers and the so-called dynamic moments, which means new cutscenes. For example, players can be seen doing fitness training.

As an alternative to a manager career, a career as a virtual soccer player is also possible. There are three different character traits. In addition to actions on the pitch, various activities off the pitch are also evaluated, such as buying a super sports car or visiting an injured teammate. If you think of F1 Life in EA Sports F1 22, you can imagine that a specially created footballer will now also invest real money in a sauna for the virtual apartment or something similar. Each player has Maverick, Virtuoso, and Heartbeat sections, in which there is always a talent tree to unlock improvements. The Maverick is a kicker who wants to be noticed at all costs, including off the pitch. In contrast to this stands the virtuoso. Who is fully focused on football performance. The heartbeat is about the interaction with the teammates. On September 30, FIFA asks 23 (buy now €69.99) to kick off on PC, PS4, Playstation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S as well as Nintendo Switch.
