00:14We'll take you through a recording of gameplay from a recent development build,
00:18walking through many of the key additions and advances this year.
00:21The game build shown is close to what will be live on launch, with final tweaks and polish ongoing now.
00:29Let's begin by setting up our save just how we want it.

02:54like your scouting or recruitment.

03:00this time on the squad screen,
03:01to give you the team information you need before the game.
03:07It's time to head to the stadium

03:12from the cut scenes and variety in stadia,
03:15to lighting and weather improvements

03:23We're underway and the upgrades in detail are now focused on the pitch,
03:27with player movement and behaviour improved
03:29via motion capture from the professional game.
03:32Look out for skill moves from high-flare players,
03:36better jockeying from top defenders and intelligent box attacks
03:39that make each highlight more believable and dynamic
03:42as you see your tactics take shape.
03:47Things are going well, but the team could still do with a lift,
03:51so we'll deliver a shout,
03:53which now affects your squad's focus
03:54and will influence players differently based on their personality.
03:59Between the highlights, build the match screen how you want it
04:02with more swappable tiles.
