WHY FIFA MOVEMENTS LOOKS POOR! (Technical Description)
10In the FIFA series, especially since the Competitive online games have flourished, problems called ice skating on the football field gradually become famous. A problem whose technical is name footplanting.
🔹
Frostbite Engine
The graphics engine used in the FIFA series from FIFA 17 version.
One of the areas where this graphics engine has many problems is its compatibility with the animations of third-party games.
🔹
From 2013 to 2016, EA Sports was using its own in-house Ignite engine to power all of its sports titles, including FIFA, Madden NFL, and NBA Live. With the releases of FIFA 17 and Madden NFL 18, those titles have switched over to using Frostbite as their
primary engine.
🔹
BioWare developed the first three games of the Mass Effect series using the Unreal engine, but for Mass Effect: Andromeda and Anthem, decided to move to Electronic Arts' proprietary Frostbite engine. It seems that following this transition, Bioware's games faced problems, and animations were negatively affected.
🔹
EA Sports introduced Real Player Motion in Madden NFL 19, a new animation system intended to make the on-field action feel real, but once players had it in their hands, they noticed the bugs
and freezes. Even the Frostbite FIFA games have had complaints about choppy pacing and input lag.
🔹
With the importance of online games in the game industry, the design and development of football games underwent great changes. Due to the command from the controller to the in-game animations and creating a fast response time, many parts fell victim to this issue. Animations and physics are both victims of online game design and development.
🔹
In the meantime and in this report, the main discussion is about the problem of foot planting. In order for developers to create a shortcut for design weaknesses in animations so that commands from the controller to the in-game animations and then the online registry occur as quickly as possible, footplanting problems appear.
🔹
In the scenes you see, you can clearly see the problems of the animations slipping on the surface of the football field, which reduces the quality of the animations and gives the player a feeling of dissatisfaction.
🔹
One of the best sports games that have managed to strike a perfect balance of creating realistic animations with excellent response time is the NBA 2K series. The visual concepts studio has been able to create realistic animations with excellent
response time with the exclusive Eco Motion Engine graphics engine, so that both online gamers and open online gamers are satisfied.
🔹
The versatility of animation and physics
PHYSICS, GRAVITY AND INERTIA
Animators must pay attention to three basic principles when adding any animation
to the game. Physics, gravity, and inertia of any animation on the surface on which the
animation moves. The development, design, and integration of such work require a suitable
engine, a powerful physics engine, and professional designers.
One of the things that will reduce the footplanting problem is the physics and weight calculations in every animation that is added to the game. The animation designer should calculate the
appropriate physics and weight of the animation based on the designed animation with the surface of the earth in order to reduce footplanting problems. The coordination of these three principles becomes the problem of foot planting In the game, it will reach its lowest level and we
will see stable animations in the game.
🔹
Response time Animations in games:
Response time is one of the biggest problems in designing animations. This problem and challenges are increased when the development team has to divide the way of transferring data from the controller to the animation for the offline and online parts.
Likewise, each animation has its own response time, and if the response time in some animations is faster, that animation will be pushed towards a fast and unnatural animation. Here, the development team must decide whether to design a natural and realistic animation or a competitive animation for competitive online games.
As you can see in the video, the foot-to-ball animations in current FIFA games are completely designed based on a competitive online game. Animation and physics have fallen victim to fast response time. And because of this, the quality of the animations has decreased.
Finally, the more natural the animations are, the slower the response time of the corresponding
animation will be. It takes a few seconds for the player to suddenly turn and move backward.
And here is the animation that is being designed. It is important. Should this rotation be very fast
or similar to reality? The decision rests with the development team, who must decide whether
to design an arcade-like, fast-paced animation or one that resembles the movements of a human in the real world or something in between.
