EA Details New FieldSense Mechanics For Madden NFL 23

Madden NFL 23 is coming later this summer with quite a few changes under the hood and on the cover. To start, Madden himself will grace the cover of NFL 23 for the first time in over 20 years, with three different images depending on which version of NFL 23 you buy. And inside the game, EA is promising a revolutionary new technology that will offer unprecedented control over each and every play.

That technology is called FieldSense, and it sounds like it has a lot to do with FIFA 22’s HyperMotion technology. Just as with FIFA 22, FieldSense is a new "animation branching technology" that combines professional motion capture with machine learning to create organic looking movements on the field. But on top of that, FieldSense also "redefines the physical interactions during the play allowing players to fight for every inch and change the outcome of tackles - whether mid-air or on the ground."

Those looking for a visual refresh will be happy to note that NFL 23 will have a totally rebuilt roster of players and coaches made up of “hundreds” of all-new body scans. NFL’s popular Face of the Franchise: The League mode also returns with five skill positions, which includes cornerback for the first time.
