EA has posted a new Pitch Notes article discussing the gameplay improvements and changes that have been made for FIFA 22.

Below are just a few of the topics that are covered in the Pitch Notes.
- Full Team Authentic Motion
- Machine Learning Flow
- Tactical A.I.
- Kinetic Air Battles
- Composed Ball Control
- Player Humanization
- Defending
When designing the new FIFA 22 goalkeepers, we had 3 major areas in mind: reliable saves, visual variety of animations, and keeper personality.
The new system uses over 600 animations, focusing on how the keeper makes saves, tips the ball over the frame of the goal, shows agility on dives, punches the ball away on a corner, and overall keeper movement.
Last but not least, the new system allows us to replicate the different styles of world class goalkeepers, with some keepers having cat-like reflexes, some being masters of anticipating shots, while others are extremely adept at rushing out to punch any ball to safety.
- Goalkeeper Rewrite
- True Ball Physics
- Explosive Sprint
- New Attacking Tactics
- Even more Immersive Matchday Experience
- Bigger Goal Moments
- More fundamental advances all over the pitch
The Standard Edition of FIFA 22 releases on October 1, but fans that pre-order the Ultimate Edition will get it on September 27. FIFA 22 early access arrives for EA Play subscribers on September 22.
