Below we report it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For FIFA 22, we\u2019ve made VOLTA FOOTBALL all about getting together with friends, and having a great time together. We\u2019ve changed our core gameplay to be more rewarding when playing with flair by introducing new skills and an all new Skill Meter system, provided variety and big match moments with Signature Abilities, and created new, limited time Party Game Tournaments with VOLTA ARCADE. On top of all this, we\u2019re going to bring you new content<br>throughout the year with VOLTA SEASONS. Here we go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Gameplay<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>New Skill Meter<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We want to make VOLTA FOOTBALL feel and play differently to any of the other modes in FIFA. For FIFA 22, we prioritized playing with flair and rewarding players for taking each other on with Skill Moves, fancy passes, and wall passes. We wanted to make sure that playing with flair isn\u2019t just possible, but that it is the main way to play VOLTA FOOTBALL. This led to the creation of the new Skill Meter system.<br>Building up the Skill Meter with your team can make your next goal worth more.<br>You and your team can fill up the Skill Meter via the following actions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Making a fancy pass fills up the bar by 100<\/li><li>A successful wall pass awards 200<\/li><li>Beating an opponent using a Skill Move is 300<\/li><li>Nutmeg an opponent for 800<\/li><li>Dispossessing the other team awards 100.<br>The Skill Meter is broken down into 3 sections, and each section takes 1,000 Points to fill.<br>It\u2019s important to note that at the time of this article being published, the points are not necessarily final and may change before or after FIFA 22 launches.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>When the first section is filled the goal multiplier is x2, this means the next goal will count as 2 goals instead of 1.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>For those that have played some of the House Rules games in Kick Off, this should be familiar to you.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The second section is x3.<\/li><li>The third section is x4.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"FIFA 22 | Skill Meter Compilation | VOLTA\" width=\"1240\" height=\"698\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jKzothC5d1E?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The addition of high value goals is intended to bring additional excitement to every match. You can be down by three goals in the last seconds of the game and still come back to win with a last second goal you\u2019ve built up by skilling around your opponents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Signature Abilities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Skill Meter isn\u2019t all that\u2019s new and exciting for VOLTA FOOTBALL gameplay. We\u2019re delivering a new mechanic, Signature Abilities, that has two main purposes: to ratchet up the excitement and tension of gameplay, and to give you more agency and control over how you influence the game.<br>Signature Abilities are brand new, easy-to-use, game-changing abilities for you to trigger during a match. Whether you want to slam home thundering shots from anywhere on the pitch, blow past opponents with lightning pace, or rattle bones with crunching tackles, Signature Abilities are there to help.<br>How they work:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>When you create your Avatar, you\u2019ll get to select one of three unique Signature Abilities.<\/li><li>You can also change your Signature Ability at any time from the Player Role screen.<\/li><li>At the beginning of a match, your Signature Ability will start on cooldown.<\/li><li>Over time, you\u2019ll see your Signature Ability Meter, located at the bottom of the screen, fill up slowly, with each ability having a different cooldown timer.<\/li><li>When your Signature Ability Meter is full, it will glow and pulse and you\u2019ll see a prompt on screen to tap RB \/ R1 to activate your chosen Signature Ability.<\/li><li>Once pressed, your Signature Ability will be active for a short duration. Make the most of it while you can!<\/li><li>After a short period, your Signature Ability will end and go back into cooldown and you\u2019ll have to wait for the Signature Ability Meter to fill up again before you can re-use it.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our three Signature Abilities are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Power Strike<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let thundering shots fly! When activated, your Shot Power Attribute gains a 50% boost and can exceed the usual 99 Attribute cap. These shots are so strong, they\u2019ll knock over and stumble defenders and GKs standing in their way, giving you and your teammates an opportunity to follow up with an open shot at goal if you don\u2019t score on that first try. This ability has a 30 second duration and an 80 second cooldown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"FIFA 22 | Power Strike Compilation | VOLTA\" width=\"1240\" height=\"698\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/d9fAQfm8uo4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Pure Pace<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Move like the wind! When activated, your max Speed and Acceleration Attributes gain huge boosts and can exceed the usual 99 Attribute cap. As a great all-around ability, you can use Pure Pace to blow past opponents on counter attacks, to hustle back on defense to stop a fast break, and more. This ability has a 15 second duration and a 70 second cooldown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"FIFA 22 | Power Strike Compilation | VOLTA\" width=\"1240\" height=\"698\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/d9fAQfm8uo4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Aggressive Tackle<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unleash devastating shoulder barges and slide tackles! When activated, you can knock your opponents to the ground with huge shoulder charges and slick slide tackles &#8211; all without getting called for the foul. Triggerable in attack and defence, you can use your Aggressive Tackle to take out defenders and create space for your teammates on the attack, or to take out opposing attackers and win back possession on defense. This ability has a 45 second duration and a 90<br>second cooldown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"FIFA 22 | Aggressive Tackle | VOLTA\" width=\"1240\" height=\"698\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sXLwYb3E1AU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Fundamental Improvements<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We knew there was no point in incentivizing taking people on if we didn\u2019t improve your chances of it being successful so we made improvements to the defender avoidance logic. This allows you to perform Skill Moves without running into or being slowed down by the defender. We also know wall passing had huge potential, but the walls were too punishing to use consistently. This year, our team made the walls more forgiving, giving you another way to get the pass through the opposition. Wall pass scorpion kick, oh my!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Flair and Playfulness<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are you a seasoned FIFA skiller? If so, I am super impressed and I\u2019m probably already following you on Twitter\/Insta, and there&#8217;s still amazing ways for you to show off in VOLTA FOOTBALL. But the rest of us want to look cool too!<br>The simple Skill Moves mechanic, which allows players to perform context appropriate Skill Moves, by holding L1 or LB, has been improved to now evaluate all Skill Moves at the next ball touch to pick a Skill Move closest to the LS direction. This increases the variety of the Skill Moves available to the simple Skill Moves mechanic as well as increase its effectiveness at beating defenders.<br>We also added several Skill Moves from standing as well, including the Podium Ball Stand, Fake Shoe Tie and Crazy Ball Rolls. Simply press LB or L1 to look and feel good. New flicks were added from standing which you can do by pressing in the Right Stick + a direction while standing still.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Two Player Celebrations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What\u2019s more fun than celebrating? Celebrating with a friend!<br>Last year, we saw players run towards each other to celebrate after they scored, but instead of doing something together they just awkwardly circled around each other until the celebration timer expired. So, we took that behaviour and built a feature around it. Now after scoring you can celebrate with your teammates simply by running toward them, and depending on the angle, you\u2019ll trigger a bunch of two player celebrations including hugs, hi-fives, leap frogs, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"FIFA 22 | Celebrations Compilation | VOLTA\" width=\"1240\" height=\"698\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JFpfbESc5Y0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Avatar Stats<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We wanted to make sure when you come to VOLTA FOOTBALL, it\u2019s fun right away. So one of the first things you\u2019ll notice is that your avatar starts at 82 OVR and has 5* Skill Moves and 5* Weak Foot, so there&#8217;s no ramp up time to feeling great on the pitch. You can still get your avatar to 96 OVR by using Skill Points you earn for every match you play. We limited player growth to 96 rather than 99 to ensure no single player can be great at everything, we want you to rely on your teammates. While feeling sharp on the ball and having 5* Skill Moves is mandatory for all roles to<br>have fun in VOLTA FOOTBALL. We wanted to make sure each player could feel the difference between each build path (Shooting, Playmaking and Physical Play).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Skill Tree<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While we haven\u2019t made any fundamental changes to the VOLTA FOOTBALL Skill Tree system, we have re-tuned the Skill Tree itself to give you more meaningful choices about what role you want to play on the pitch. Additionally, we\u2019ve cleaned it up, reduced redundancies, and made sure every single upgrade on the Skill Tree feels impactful. Gone are the insignificant Attribute gains and the confusing titles. Instead, every upgrade will give you a noticeable +5 to +12<br>Attribute boost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are three branches to choose from:<br>\u25cf The attacking tree will make you an ace at putting the ball in the back of the net, but you\u2019ll be a bit more reliant on your friends to win the ball back and make a play.<br>\u25cf The middle branch is for moving the ball around and making plays with dribbling and passing Attribute boosts.<br>\u25cf The final branch is all about physical and defensive play; laugh as people try to push you off the ball and use your muscle to win it back for your team.<br>And as before, it\u2019s quick and painless to reset your Skill Tree and redistribute your Skill Points if you want to change roles.<br>We\u2019ve also increased the starting and max number of Skill Points. You\u2019ll start with 25 Skill Points and earn one new skill point for every VOLTA SQUADS or VOLTA BATTLES match you play up to a cap of 120. This gives you enough Skill Points in total to completely max out one of the three branches and leave a bit of extra room to dabble in the other branches as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>VOLTA ARCADE<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">VOLTA ARCADE brings you a whole new way to play FIFA online with friends. It\u2019s a weekend\u0002only, free-for-all, lighthearted bash where you and up to three other players can compete across a series of all-new \u201cParty Games\u201d, including Foot Tennis, Dodgeball, and more.

City-X features a 5v5 pitch set against a futuristic cityscape. Plus the cameras are little flying drones!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"547\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fifaultimateteam.it\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/cover-volta-fifa-22-1024x547.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31937\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Removed For VOLTA FOOTBALL 22<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Part of game development is listening and learning, so to close out the Pitch Notes I\u2019d like to give a little shout out and explanation to some of the things that you won&#8217;t see in VOLTA FOOTBALL anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Recruiting Players<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We really want to focus the experience this year on you and your avatar, as well as playing with your friends. We want the experience to be about self expression and bonding with other gamers through exciting gameplay. While recruiting players, icons, and celebrities provided some interest, we saw that the motivation was conflicting with the core experience we were creating. It took the focus away from developing and customizing your Avatar and playing with friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Chemistry<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are two main reasons we removed Chemistry from this year&#8217;s experience. First, as mentioned above, we want to focus more on you and your friends and less on individual squad-building. The Chemistry system was directly linked to this individual squad\u0002building; it required you to recruit new players with the right home turfs, the right preferred formations, and the right positions and to arrange them appropriately on the pitch. With less of a focus on the squad and more of a focus on you, the Chemistry system no longer makes sense for VOLTA FOOTBALL. Plus, without being able to recruit, you don\u2019t really have the tools necessary to optimize Chemistry in a way that will provide real benefit to you as a player.<br>Second, we realized that in online and cooperative play, positions and home fields and preferred formations just aren\u2019t that interesting. One of the unique things about VOLTA FOOTBALL is how fluid and free-flowing gameplay is; you continuously shift between positions, and your team\u2019s formation adapts and adjusts throughout the game. So, giving you advantages or disadvantages based on positions and preferred formations no longer made sense for our<br>experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Single Player Story Mode (The Debut)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With our focus on an online social-centric experience for you and your friends we made the choice to move away from a single player story. So if you\u2019re looking for a fast-paced, exciting, online-focused gameplay experience to play with your friends, VOLTA FOOTBALL is the placefor you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Solo Online Play<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A common theme with this year&#8217;s experience is we\u2019re focused on you playing with and against other humans. Be nice to each other, and make new friends online. Everyone in VOLTA FOOTBALL is there to have fun! We\u2019re still early in the development of this new game mode, so we\u2019re looking to build a positive, vibrant and diverse community. Treat people with respect, dignity and occasionally rip them apart with Skill Moves all in good fun. If you&#8217;re looking for a<br>space to play by yourself, we still have VOLTA BATTLES, a great place to practice your skills and play on your own terms while still earning XP and VOLTA COINS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fifaultimateteam.it\/en\/fifa-23-all-official-pre-order-bonus-and-release-date-revealed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fifaultimateteam.it\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/pre-order-fifa-23-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48227\"><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>FIFA 22<\/strong> is available from <strong>October 1st<\/strong> on <strong>PlayStation 5<\/strong>,<strong> Xbox Series X<\/strong>, <strong>PlayStation 4<\/strong>, <strong>Xbox One<\/strong>, <strong>PC<\/strong>, <strong>Steam <\/strong>and <strong>Nintendo Switch<\/strong>.
