"Previously whenever a player moves towards the ball to complete the next action , such as an attempt to pass, shoot or dribble - - we've selected an image from our database" Eaves explains.

How can the search for realism impact a game whichultimately compresses 90 minutes of professional football down to 10 minutes or so? "It's something positive," says FIFA YouTuber and streamer Chris Wood, aka Chesnoid Gaming. "The primary purpose of sporting video games is to re-create the way you experience daily life.
