Understand FIFA 23 icons, player ratings (FAT/BIO), Radar, Kit Clashing, and troubleshooting tips for PC and console.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Icon Meanings: To understand what each icon on the screen does in FIFA 23, simply hold the arrow over it. A message will pop up explaining its function.
  2. 2
    FAT and BIO Ratings: The FAT rating indicates a player's fatigue level, ranging from 0% to 100%. A higher number means more fatigue. The BIO rating is the player's fitness level; a higher BIO means the player will fatigue slower and is less prone to injury, while a lower BIO means they will fatigue faster and are more easily injured.
  3. 3
    Radar: The Radar (a type of minimap (the small circular map in the bottom-left corner of your screen)) allows you to see the position of every player on the field during a match. This is useful for setting up plays, especially when you cannot see all players on the screen at once. You can toggle the Radar on/off using the '8' key.
  4. 4
    3D Display Issues: If you experience a messed-up screen when trying to play FIFA 23 in 3D, even with certified drivers, ensure you have the latest drivers from your video card manufacturer. If problems persist, download and install the file grtvgr.exe from the specified website, as this patch is known to fix many 3D issues.
  5. 5
    Kit Clashing: Kit Clashing is an option that addresses team color conflicts. If the colors of the two teams playing are too similar, one team will wear a white jersey to avoid confusion.
  6. 6
    Visual Indicator: The Visual Indicator option displays indicators to show you an open teammate to pass to, helping you make successful passes without the other team intercepting them.
  7. 7
    Automatic Crosses: When this option is enabled, performing a lob down the sideline towards the opposition's endline will automatically send the ball towards the front of the goal, regardless of the directional key you are pressing.
  8. 8
    Commentary Player Names: While all player names should be included in the commentary, some players may not be mentioned even if they play the entire match.
  9. 9
    Player Attributes: Player attributes are ratings from 0 to 100 for different abilities. Higher numbers indicate better performance. Key attributes include: SPD (Speed), SPW (Shot Power), PBS (Passing Bias), AGG (Aggressiveness), SAC (Shot Accuracy), SBS (Shot Bias), AWR (Awareness), BCT (Ball Control), AGL (Agility), HAC (Heading Accuracy), ATB (Attacking Bias), RCT (Reaction), ACL (Acceleration), TAC (Tackling), and FIT (Fitness).
  10. 10
    Rain and Snow Option (PC): On a PC with a 2D video card, the rain and snow option does not visually display weather effects; you will only see an overcast sky. However, the gameplay is affected: the ball bounces less, and players fatigue faster. Rain and snow may be visible with a 3D card, and are reportedly visible in the N64 and PSX versions of FIFA 98.

  • Screen Size: = (Increase screen size), - (Decrease screen size)

Improving Game Speed:

  • Reduce screen size using the '-' key.
  • Toggle field and stadium details off using the 'Y' and 'T' keys, respectively.
  • Close all background programs by pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL, and shutting down everything except Explorer and Systray. Repeat if necessary.
  • Perform a full installation of the game to avoid significant performance drops caused by frequent CD-ROM access.

Modem Play Setup:

  • Connection Types: Modem connections can be direct (requiring a serial cable with a null-modem adapter) or indirect.
  • Requirements for Indirect Connection: FIFA 23 requires at least a 28.8k modem or faster, and a high-speed (16,550 UART) serial port.
  • Setting Up a Two-Computer Match: Ensure your modems are configured correctly. At the modem connect screen, one person must select "Dialing Directory".
