10+ Years of Scoring Goals with EA Sports

September 27, 2024

It’s time to return to the pitch in EA Sports FC25. Since 2008, Technicolor Games has been actively involved in the best-selling sports franchise, playing a significant role in providing 3D art services and lighting expertise for the stadiums. 

The team’s primary contributions have included the creation of iconic characters, clothing, player jerseys, props, football accessories (including trophies!) and crowd assembly. But that’s just the beginning. 

As we gear up for a new season, let’s dive a little deeper into Technicolor Games’ iconic work on FC24. 

Fun fact: This trailer was expertly crafted by The Mill.

Environment

Stadium Creation  

Every year, the team is tasked with creating even more realistic stadiums than before, and each year they rise to the challenge, with FC24 being no exception. The team used detailed 3D models to recreate stadium textures, structures, and seating layouts, offering players the most immersive experience for pitch play. 

Stadium Lighting 

To create the lighting within the stadium, factors like time of day, weather conditions, and shadows had to be considered to achieve a photorealistic look and feel  

Did you know? The team customized the sun’s position based on the real-world coordinates of each stadium, ensuring the sunlight and shadows aligned accurately with the environment. An epic enhancement to player experience. 

Character

Player Heads 

Technicolor Games’ character team was responsible for producing photorealistic player heads, careful attention was paid to preserving all distinctive features, such as tattoos, scars, and birthmarks, important for bringing the players to life. 

Wardrobe/Crowds/Accessories 

The character team also constructed outfits for story mode players, ensuring each wardrobe looked authentic by matching the apparel to real-world photographs.   

The continued collaboration between Technicolor Games and EA Sports FC has been significant. Through the years, this partnership has consistently thrived, driven by a shared commitment to excellence. Each year, the team eagerly anticipates the opportunity to contribute its creative expertise, with an unwavering dedication to delivering the highest quality results.
