FIFA 23 Chemistry: A Complete Overhaul
FIFA 23 Ultimate Team (FUT) brought a seismic shift to the way chemistry works, completely revamping the system players had become accustomed to. Forget the old linking system; FUT 23 introduced a fresh approach that dramatically changes squad building strategies. Here's a breakdown of the key changes:
Goodbye Links, Hello Global Chemistry:
In previous FIFA titles, players needed to be positioned next to each other in the squad to form "links." These links determined the chemistry between players, with stronger links providing bigger boosts. This system is now gone. In FIFA 23, players build chemistry with each other regardless of their position on the pitch. This means you can have a strong chemistry connection between a striker and a defender, even if they're on opposite ends of the formation.
No More Negative Effects:
Previously, a lack of links resulted in chemistry penalties, negatively impacting player attributes. This is no longer the case. In FUT 23, there are no negative effects for having low or no chemistry. This removes the pressure of needing to perfectly link every player and allows for more diverse squad building.
Simplified Chemistry Scale:
The familiar 0-10 chemistry scale has been replaced with a simpler system. Each player can now earn up to 3 chemistry points. This simplified approach makes it easier to understand and manage your team's overall chemistry.
Positional Changes and Chemistry:
Player positioning has become more nuanced. Each player now has a primary position and one or more alternate positions. You can use position modifiers to switch between these designated positions. However, unlike previous FIFAs, you can no longer freely place players anywhere in your formation. If a player is played in a position they don't have listed (even if it was possible before using position changes), they will always have 0 chemistry. Therefore, using position modifiers correctly is crucial for maximizing chemistry. It's important to note that a player's overall rating remains the same regardless of their chemistry level.
Farewell Loyalty Bonus:
The loyalty system, which granted an extra chemistry point to players obtained directly from packs or through Squad Building Challenges (SBCs), has been removed. This simplifies the chemistry calculation and removes an element that sometimes felt arbitrary.
In summary: FIFA 23's chemistry overhaul offers a more flexible and less restrictive squad building experience. The removal of links, negative penalties, and the loyalty system, combined with the new global chemistry and simplified scale, allows for greater creativity and experimentation when constructing your Ultimate Team. The focus is now on nationality, league, and club connections across the entire squad, rather than just adjacent players.
