Now we\u2019re on to the follow-up and with Konami\u2019s eFootball still underperforming and no new Fifa title on the immediate horizon, it\u2019s another open goal for team EA Sports.<\/p>\n

Last year it was all about the advanced HyperMotion2 animation tech, this year it\u2019s FC IQ, which looks to enhance the strategic side of the game by giving you intricate control over team and player mentalities. Here, you can tweak your build-up style and defensive approach, then go in and change the priorities of each individual player. Want Saka to play in an aggressively attacking rather than balanced role at Arsenal? You can make that change. Then, when you start a match his AI will be yelling at him to make forward runs at the expense of providing defensive support. It\u2019s a fun option for Claudio Ranieri types, but a bit much if you\u2019re just after a kickabout.<\/p>\n
