Gameplay

In FIFA Online 3, players can choose to play and customize a team from any of over 30 leagues and 15,000 real world players. Players can either play single-player through a season, or play against other online players. Playing matches earns EP, which is the in-game currency used to buy players and items.

FIFA Online 3's gameplay was similar to FIFA 11 in the beginning, but has switched to Impact engine which is similar to FIFA 14 since 2015. The game added support for multiplayer online play. Players can play custom matches of up to 3 players a side. An online transfer market to buy or sell players, a club system and a premium (real world cash) item shop are also available.

FIFA Online 3 features several game modes that are similar to the ones that were in FIFA Online 2 . League Mode has not been significantly changed, while the online modes have been slightly edited. Players can now play friendly games against players of similar skill (Quick 1vs1) or random players (VS Random), and can also play against their friends (VS Custom). Players also have the option to play as the manager by controlling the team's tactics and formation (VS Manager).

The FIFA Online 2 World Tour has been upgraded to a ranking system (Ranking Mode), where every player starts out with 1500 points and can play against players who have a similar number of points. Winning a match is rewarded with 10 points, with more points added/deducted on to each consecutive win/loss and the difference in the number of goals scored/conceded in each match. Rewards are given out at the end of every in-game season to all players based on their points.

FIFA Online 3 is playable using a keyboard using certain keys to play and arrows on the keyboard or a gamepad.
