A slower game state means the game feels more realistic and rewarding, focusing on position and passing, rather than belting it at the goal every 2 minutes. No doubt, this was in the attempt to curve the considerable goal count that became a meme in the later months of FIFA 21. HyperMotion technology does impact the game state by slowing the game speed down significantly.
Regular FIFA fans will find this addition noticeable, yet, due to the implementation of HyperMotion, there has been a significant lack of additional updates, and functionality added this year. More profound animations allow a greater understanding of where the ball will be, how the controller player will react, and when best to take a shot or reposition. While new animations may not be ground breaking, the appeal here is how these animations allow the player to understand the game's ebb and flow, what actions may be taken, and when to take specific actions. Hypermotion allows for advanced 11v11 matches with the internal AI behind the players on the field adapting to create new animations as the game plays. The flagship update for FIFA 2022 is the new HyperMotion technology.
