One particularly notable theme you'll find throughout this podcast is that in FIFA 23 gameplay there is an increasing focus on manual inputs. Passing assistance has been tuned to be more manual, and lofted through passes are now semi-assisted on competitive settings rather than completely assisted. Another example is the blocking, where the player you are controlling has a greater blocking range than AI controlled players. Blocking now also considers your momentum and angle of approach making them more realistic — and hopefully far less frustrating!
