00:00We've got the squad together to get into what's new in Pro Clubs in FIFA 23. Over to you.
00:06Thank you Derek, here with Tim and Mbuso from the development team,
00:08diving into everything that is Pro Clubs in FIFA 23.
00:13A ton to get into, including a new shared progression system,
00:16customization, drop-in, new perks, new skill games.
00:19Here to break it down are the dev team themselves.
00:22So let's start with you Mbuso. What are you most excited about in FIFA 23?
00:26So many things, but I think I've got to start with that first thing you mentioned.
00:30is shared seasonal progression.
00:32We have an opportunity to have both social modes in the same space in the main menu.
00:36So FUT for the longest time and Volta have had a season system
00:40that rotates through a six-week cycle.
00:42This will be the first time that Pro Clubs players will be able to take advantage of that.
00:45Pro Clubs players will now be earning seasonal progression by playing Pro Clubs matches.
00:49They'll be able to head over to Volta where they can claim their rewards,
00:52make purchases with Volta coins that they've earned,
00:55and then take their rewards back to Pro Clubs where they can equip them and wear them on the pitch.
00:59Talking about Pro Clubs heading over to the 11v11 match,
01:03Community talks so much about drop-ins.
01:06Is there anything new coming to the drop-ins experience this year?
01:09Yeah, we're looking to freshen up the drop-in experience this year.
01:11We want to bring in more kits, more stadiums.
01:14We want to be able to rotate through that visual experience.
01:17So now there'll be eight Pro Clubs drop-in specific kits.
01:21On top of that, we do want to liven up the experience and create more moments of magic.
01:25So for this year, drop-ins will be four-minute halves.
01:28We want to reduce that down so it's a faster experience, make every moment matter.
01:32And we also want to move to a golden goal extra time that won't proceed to penalties beyond that.
01:37We want to make it a quick experience.
01:39You get in, you score a magic goal in golden goal, and then you're back in the ecosystem, readying up
01:43to go again.
01:44Community often talks about tracking that progression.
01:47Perk's playing a big role in that.
01:49Can you explain anything new coming to Perk's and the whole progression system as a whole?
01:55So for 23, we have listened to a lot of that community feedback.
01:58There'll be a lot more levels.
01:59And not only that, the gaps between each level, the XP required to move from one to another will be
02:03shortened.
02:03So it'll be more frequent moments of excitement and more rewards.
02:07We're also looking to get Perk's into the hands of our players sooner.
02:10While you may only have one Perk slot available to you at launch,
02:13we want to get you in and able to experiment and find out which one works for you best.
02:17Furthermore, into Perk's, we do have four new Perk's, two of which are defensive-based.
02:21So there's a great new one called Chase Down, which is activated after a change of possession
02:26if you're retreating back toward your own goal, as well as an Interceptor Perk.
02:30That'll activate whenever you're defending and the ball is in your proximity.
02:34You'll be able to make blocks and traps on opposition passes and shots more easily.
02:40We also have a chance creation Perk that's Light Passes.
02:43It's a really interesting one.
02:44It's the only time that the Perk actually takes effect on your teammates.
02:47It'll actually influence the ability of your teammates to trap and control your passes.
02:52So if you're playing driven passes into the box, that first touch,
02:55when you need it to be perfect to be able to get it out of your feet and shoot,
02:58that'll be the Perk for you and you can dictate the play of your team.
03:01We also have a Poacher Perk.
03:03This will activate when players move inside the box
03:05and it will boost all of those areas of finishing, volleys, heading,
03:10as well as your general finishing and shooting.
03:12Something I think every Pro Clubs player has experienced at one point or another.
03:17You load up the game, load up Pro Clubs, you get ready,
03:19and none of your teammates are online.
03:21It's a common occurrence that you're into the lobby
03:24and you're waiting for that one last two or three people.
03:26And this time, FIFA 23 will give you something to do with your time.
03:30So we do want to encourage players to go and play skill games
03:34with their virtual pro inside the Pro Clubs system.
03:36Compete against your teammates for top spot on a Pro Clubs specific leaderboard,
03:40so you'll get bragging rights.
03:41And on top of that, we want to give you a Player Growth XP reward
03:44that will reset on a weekly cadence.
03:46We'll also be adding Player Growth XP as a reward to Volta matches.
03:50So you will be earning a contribution to your Pro Clubs
03:53Avatar's Player Progression XP as well.
03:56So what would you say the main benefit is here
03:58as these two come together for both Pro Clubs and Volta players?
04:01The shared seasonal progression.
04:04So now we have it where in Pro Clubs and in Volta,
04:07you can play both modes and earn seasonal points,
04:09and then that shared progression can carry through
04:12into both of those unlocking gear that you can equip onto your Pro.
04:16All right, a lot to take in here.
04:18So I guess it's really just time to start planning.
04:20And Buso, Tim, thank you for joining us, running through everything.
04:22and I guess it's time to get the group chats going,
04:24get the team back together.
04:25Get everyone back together.
04:26Join the club. Go be that hero.
04:28Yeah, can't wait. Thank you.
04:29Ready up, Derek. Back to you.
04:31Well, Stuart, I think we need to go and plan our next team celebration.
04:34Well, Derek, I've already got one in mind.
04:37That's got me inspired, that's for sure.
04:39Well, Derek, I've already got one in mind.
