Play early or dribble through the opponent’s defenses with the ball glued to your foot? In the player career of FIFA 23 such decisions have in the future not only influence on the match, but also on the player personality.

As EA SPORTS describes, a special system observes the behaviors and decisions on the pitch. Overall, the player’s decisions contribute to three different personality types, which in turn influence the player values. Before FIFA 23 goes to the start, we clarify which characteristics you need for the different personalities

“Free spirit” – the individualist

Laying across in the decisive game so that the teammate can push in? Not with the “free spirit”. He “aggressively seeks scoring opportunities,” according to the FIFA developer, his own successes clearly take precedence over team success. An extravagant lifestyle, but still a flawless professional attitude to the sport characterize this guy

“Football art” – the elegant

Also focused on his performance is the “soccer art” professional – a virtuoso on the ball. With their skills they can decide or turn games alone. Modesty and focus in the finances and influence on the sporting goals are characteristic of this type of player

“Teamwork” – the heart

“Teamwork” professionals dominate through willpower, determination and tenacity. In the first place, therefore, it is not so much a matter here of constantly making a pass, but of allowing the team to profit by being present. In contrast to the “free spirit,” the “teamwork” player is not so concerned with his own trophy shelf – he is more concerned with the club’s showcase. Advice, assistance, and a giving attitude are the hallmarks of this personality type. Finances and influence are often used for charitable purposes

What are the advantages of these types?

During the game, these types can earn various points. Combinations are also possible if you play a successful pass (+5 “Teamwork” points) and score a goal (+20 combined “Free Spirit”/”Soccer Art” points). How you use these determines which stats are increased. The percentage, compared to the total number of points, indicates how much the stats affected by this personality are increased

If you reach the last level of a type, you can commit to a personality to be dominant – the so-called “Absolute Level”. This is to offer even more advantages on the lawn
