A reworked AI will bring more realistic clashes on the field and motion-captured animations and improved player models will give players a much improved game experience. There are also a number of new features such as multiple set-play options during different passages of play.
The content available in this first closed beta phase includes:
- 20 national teams from countries.
- An International Tournament mode.
- A Quick Match mode, versus the AI or local PvP.
