Player Growth in FIFA 22's Career Mode has been completely revamped.
Player perks will arrive when the game launches this October, allowing players to boost their attributes when they are performing well on the pitch.
Here is everything you need to know, including every player perk available in the upcoming FIFA release.
What are Player Perks
The Player Perks system will feaure as part of the player growth feature found within Career Mode.
Perks will unlock as you level up throughout your career, with players able to equip three of their unlocked perks before each match.
The perks will provide an additional performance boost on top of your attributes and will trigger automatically in-game provided that you have met your specified list of conditions.
Perks have been split into four key areas:
- Attacking Perks
- Chance Creation Perks
- Defensive Perks
- Goalkeeper Perks
Meanwhile there are a select few perks that will apply to your teammates aswell as yourself, which will leave your questioning whether you should sacrifice personal glory in favour of team success.
The perk activation feature can be seen below:
