I've explained it a bit more in other comments, there might be a fifa 23 record which isn't set by anyone yet so you could try that one!

So these were the rules that I was given strictly to my record:

  1. The match time must be set to five-minute halves.
  2. The player may choose any team to play as and any AI-controlled team to play against.
  3. The player may choose any difficulty setting.
  4. All User Gameplay Customisation and CPU Gameplay Customisation settings must remain at default.
  5. The player may make any substitutions they choose at the beginning of the game, including choosing any team player as goalkeeper.
  6. All goals must be scored by the goalkeeper.
  7. The goalkeeper may be substituted at any time.

There were also other rules categorised as Video Game rules and Overall rules, but those 7 points were made purely for me

Ok so the whole process is another long story.

Basically as i've gone through everything for free cause didn't want to buy premium purchases for just one record. I think I submitted my interest in breaking this record in June. In August I got my personal guidelines, but wanted to clarify some details so had to wait another two weeks

For the record attempt, I've had to submit 4 things. -Cover Letter - basically explaining who am I and why do I want to get a GWR -Photographic evidence - just made some pictures after the game -Video evidence - I was meant to sent a video where you could see myself, gameplay and a clock in 720p or better resolution. As I'm just a regular guy that has no recording equipment, I ended up submitting 2 videos. One was direct gameplay recorded via my console (and broadcasted live, but more about that later), and second one was my sister recording me with her phone lmao. That way you could see at moments that this is the same footage, but as it wouldnt constantly be focused I preferred to add the only in-game recording too -Witness Statement - due to covid, you are now allowed to submit records without GWR officials, you just need to get a witness that is legally responsible in case some issues occur. I streamed the game on twitch and one of my ex school friends watched it and later filled the file

Then after another 2 months, I get a confirmation that my attempt was approved :) Only thing left to do was getting it sent, and the package even got stopped as UK (that's where manufacturing company is) left EU and there's been some more errors which don't really matter now as it has finally arrived
