Gamers can choose to be a Maverick, Heartbeat or Virtuoso player in FIFA23 as personality points add a new dimension to the popular series from EA Sports. The new addition will give players in career mode different boosts to their skills or attributes.
Depending on which of the three types of personality you choose, your player will gain different advantages on the field, The Sun reported. The changes are explained in a blog post on the official FIFA23 website.
EA describes Mavericks as “aggressively chasing goals and acting on intuition, seeking stardom on and off the pitch. They’re more individualistic in general, focusing on their own achievements. They’re ambitious and will pursue their objectives without hesitation.”
Heartbeat players are “the pulse of a team, reading the game ahead of their opponent and dominating through willpower, determination and resilience. Their top priority is to be sure that the whole team benefits from their presence, they’re not caring so much about personal awards on the shelf, but more about trying their best to fill the team’s trophy cabinet".
EA says: “They are always ready to help, give advice, and leave no one behind. Finances and influence are often used for charitable purposes.” These are players who always help out both their team and community.
Virtuosos are described as “skilful and intelligent, relying on their ability to change the course of matches in the blink of an eye. Completely focused on their performance, they are also ambitious, but most of their battles are internal. They aim to demonstrate they are capable of putting their stamp on the game while achieving their goals".
There are a few ways in which Personality Points can be gained which will help you build your player. The decisions made in response to choices offered during their career are one factor.
Mavericks will worry about their reputation while Heartbeats will focus more on the community, and Virtuosos on their game. Which options give which points will be clearly pointed out on the decision screen.
Personality Points can also be gained passively based on how you play football. Assists will earn you Heartbeat points while shooting and scoring can give Maverick or Virtuoso points.
Finally, you can earn points based on how you spend your cash. Luxury items like watches and cars will earn you Maverick points, while donating to the community will net you Heartbeat points. Virtuosos can gain points from decisions such as hiring a personal trainer. If a player has the majority of their points in one personality type they will achieve "Absolute Personality" which is the best way to improve your performance.
Another innovation in the latest version of the long-running simulator franchise is the addition of women’s clubs. Clubs from the FA Women's Super League and the French Division 1 Feminine will be available to play.
This year's FIFA will be the final edition that EA will develop before moving on to launch its own EA Sports FC franchise next year. FIFA23 releases on September 30, but those who purchase the Ultimate Edition will gain access early on September 27.
