While the characters look a good deal different than in previous games FIFA 23 coins, the amped-up animations that series fans have come to expect have been taken to the next stage in FIFA 23. Influences (not to mention motion capture) for character movement came for everything from gymnastics to martial arts, and, naturally, traditional street FIFA moves. The same branching animation system that has helped power games like NBA Street Homecourt, NBA Live 08, and FIFA 23 is also behind the moves in Street 3, giving you the ability to quickly and naturally break animations on the fly--meaning you'll be able to pass or shoot when you want, where you want, no matter what trick your controlled player is attempting. 

Different abilities will also be available to different player types--FIFA 23 categorizes players along four types categories: enforcer, trickster, playmakers, and finishers. When it comes to controls, looking good on the pitch won't be hard. You'll pass and shoot the ball with the A and B buttons, respectively (or X and circle in the PS5 version of the game). Pulling tricks is as easy as moving the right stick in any direction, and flicking and juggling the ball is handled with the Y button. There's an element of timing to juggles that brings some additional skill to the process; to keep the ball bouncing on your foot or head, you have to press the button at the right time. In addition, holding the Y button down will result in a higher juggle--for example, allowing you to move the ball from your foot to your head.

But the basics will only get you so far in the game; sooner or later you'll have to explore the new and improved gamebreaker system in Street 3. By performing tricks and juggles, you'll build up your gamebreaker meter. Once it's filled, you can press the right bumper to  gamebreaker mode, where your moves will be fancier (including some truly cool flips over your opponent) and your shots will be both more accurate and more powerful. One nice touch is that you can keep a gamebreaker going by performing tricks as you go, essentially extending its life by playing with style. Unlike in previous Street games, a gamebreaker shot won't necessarily mean a guaranteed goal; you'll still have to choose your spot if you want to get it past the goalkeeper buy FUT 23 coins.
