Driven Finish: A new shot mechanic lets players keep the ball low in any situation – finesse, volley, or simply slot it home.

Threaded Through Pass: Increase power on through balls, and create new scoring chances with threaded through passes.  Driven Goal Kicks: Start a quick counter attack by passing it out from goal with power and direction. Active Intelligence System: A brand new system introduces spatial analysis, increases activity off the ball, and changes the way players move, read, and react. Constant Spatial Analysis: Now every player analyzes the proximity of their opponents and the space around them to better find opportunities in attack.  New Run Types: Smarter players and increased activity off the ball give you creative ways to open up the opposition including multiple-player runs, fake runs, staggered and stunted runs. Physical Play Overhaul: A transformation in the way players physically interact in all areas of the pitch. Control is now in your hands as you battle for space and possession by introducing a new mechanic (Physical Play button) which players can use to trigger physical play. Pushback Tech: U.S. patent pending technology brings innovations to trapping, dribbling, physics, and defending to create true-to-life battles for position and the ball. New Physical Interactions: Player interactions come to life in realistic detail across the entire pitch including shielding, goalkeeper collisions, seal outs, and many more. 360° Shield Dribble: New proximity-based shielding will help you fend off opponents and keep possession of the ball – players now understand where the biggest defensive threat is approaching from and step in front if the mechanic is played in time.  Set Piece Rewrite: From free kicks to penalties to corner kicks, inject personality and variety from every dead ball situation New Penalties: Move freely in your run up on the ball, approach from different angles and at different speeds, and put some personality on your penalties. New Corner Kicks: A new targeting system from corners lets you pick out teammates with greater precision and changes the way your teammates move off the ball as you deliver the pass. Free Kicks: Customize your run up on free kicks to create more variety in the spin and movement on the ball. You can now deliver shots like outside of the foot direct free kicks that bend around the wall. User controlled throw-ins: Walk the line to gain a better position on your throw, send your opponent the wrong way with fake throws, and throw it with pace to teammates.
