    i cant to give this game 3 score less.
    The most of the baddest moment in this game, it is a online. The worst competitive, ultra donate gameplay. This game good for play in single play, but i dont wanna buy this game every year just for new kits and etc.

    Unlike last year's release, there aren't too many noticeable issues that need improving on either. EA have been afforded more time to get this game to where they need it to be, and they seem to have done exactly that.

EA have been afforded more time to get this game to where they need it to be, and they seem to have done exactly that. On the other hand though, there are still modes with untapped potential that EA have to put more focus on in order to appeal to their full market of players. It's a strong release from EA, one which will keep them at the top of the footballing sim market, but without a leading competitor to challenge them, that isn't awfully difficult.

    FIFA 22 is a slower game than FIFA 21 as a result, but that doesn’t mean it’s all about defence. There’s not a lack of goals; you just have to earn them with careful passing play and vision. Patience often seems to trump pace, which is very refreshing. I’ve muttered ‘what a ball’ more than ever this year, most often after spotting one of my wingers in space and switching it with a dreamy late lob across the pitch that leads to a dazzling equaliser.

    There are quite a few problems. Career is near unplayable thanks to loads of bugs and glitches, Ultimate Team is still a pay-to-win fest and a lot of modes are clearly less important than cash cow Ultimate Team, which is understandable, but still frustrating. You may love FUT. You may never have spent any extra money. Most players also don't. but someone is paying. That makes the game hard to grind and unenjoyable to match up with those who spend more money on their team.

    After last year's debacle, Fifa 22 is fortunately taking another step in the right direction. It's far from the level of Fifa 10 or the best parts of the previous generation. FIFA 22 has achieved a successful acceleration with its features and new dynamics. But despite all these innovations, it can barely get rid of the "same game" feeling. We're still waiting for EA to reinvent the wheel and shock us with a refreshing take on virtual football.    … Expand

    1. Defense is even more stupid than last year. Zero defensive awareness.
    2. Long-range shots still not fixed and looking ridiculous.
    3. Auto-blocking is still huge random.

    Graphics is very mediocre, no significant changes to main game modes.

    Avoid by all means.

    It’s not fun to play when you don’t feel in control of the player you moving. There is no physics also. Doesn’t feel neither real or fun to play. I think it part because of the engine too.

Now, let's talk about the game... Graphics are okay, nothing special, nothing too bad, you can really find your sweet spot with the camera settings, but PS5/XSX graphics will be always better.
    Game-modes - every mode is playable, nothing too new about those, except some cuts in Volta and that new system where you can't drop down in FUT.
    Gameplay is mainly done for the "average players" (because of that), it can be slighty overwhelming for the brand-new players (this year my friend started with the FUT, so I really can understand).
    Now, let's talk for a bit about the FUT, 'cause that's the reason you will want to buy this game, otherwise you can go with 20 or 21, it's basically the same, believe me. FUT (same as every year) will be full of same cards. Usually it will be overpowered Premier League ('cause EA has special contracs with this league) and few overpowered individuals ('cause EA has special contracs with them too) - that isn't a theory, go and search for ambassadors and check their cards in the game.
    Other straight up retarded thing is that every single player (except GK) can easily score goals and do very powerful tackles, just have a few big players and others with high pace stats, it'll be enough for basically any division (although Elite and First can be kinda though if you find a good opponent). Every match you'll recieve at least 1 goal when no-brain & no-passing-skill player will make ridiculous pass in front of the goal and his teammate will score (it doesn't matter that you have 3 defenders there).
    Last thing, you definitely can sink a lot of time into this game, it's good game, but it won't reward your skill, football experiences from real life or even better team-building. There's a lot of events, that good and bad. Good, 'cause there's more cards and more choices for your team and bad, 'cause there'll be a lot of promos when **** players will get OP cards and you'll lose your nerves.    … Expand

    * changing players - unintuitive, and, moreover, often incomprehensible.
    * Only in FUT - packs... The game is in AAA price and still, if you want to compete, without grinding, you'll have to pay for packs.
    * Online matches v1 - if you, or your opponent, are going to leave the game, before anyone would score... the game will be set as a draw and, if you're playing division rivals for example, you'll loose winning streak.
    * Online matches v2 - there are days (mainly weekends), where connection to servers is pretty bad. This and input lag would make you cry :)
    * Ground passes - very innacurate at times.

    Pros:
    * Lots of ways to construct an action.
    * Possibility to be on the bench in career mode.

    If you're expectation is low, this game is ok. Don't expect this game to simulate real football gameplay. This is developed by people who don't understand a thing about football. I bought this version (last one being FIFA20) thinking maybe they've made progress, but no. Just treating this game as an arcade button smashing game to play online with other conned people.

    Getting worse year over year. Bought it because there was a discount on Stadia. Well, bad idea my friends. Still the same trash.

    This game isn't really fun    Getting worse year over year. Bought it because there was a discount on Stadia. Well, bad idea my friends. Still the same trash. The whole thing looks laggy from menus to online games, it's like feeling a delay everywhere (although no problem on other Stadia games). I play online seasons because I don't have time for the whole career thing and not interested.

    This game isn't really fun to play. Attacking is bad: obvious passes that make it to the player in real life are for some reason landing in the opponent's feet. Passes in depth are super bad most of the time you just cannot do a pass for your wingers if the space you are targeting is between the wing and the center of the field. The only pass that works at each try is to the wing directly near the line. So obviously 50% of the goals you take are from wingers outpacing your entire defense line from there and shooting diagonally into your top corner from a tight angle. Wow such realism!

    Not to mention the defense in that kind of situation that is almost impossible to handle because defenders suck at moving diagonally. For some reason when they start doing this they have a huge inertia and are left behind as soon as the guy changes direction even if you are trying to closely follow and anticipate its moves.

    Another thing, I don't know if that is the game trying to stupidly assist you or something but the defaults suck. If you have a player alone with lot of space in front of him and want to make a through ball it targets the closest player 50% of the time killing a huge opportunity.

    Pretty sure even if I had time for career and all the fuss I'd be even more disappointed. Just take a look at "pros" playing these, their games are filled with futsal goals in which they land insane series of tricks, like dribbling all defenders and the keeper. Is this what a "simulation" is supposed to look like?

    So in short, absolutely no improvement from last year and feels even worse. Go ahead and develop your next FIFAs EA, I don't care, I'm done buying your crap.    … Expand

Let's see, oh yes that's right, the soundtrack is pretty good (apart from the modern rap, yikes) and oh wow Career mode finally got some attention. You can finally create your own club in "Manager Career Mode", which is sorely overdue, and in PlayerIt is wildly entertaining to do these reviews because it is genuinely difficult to come up with a positive to boost the rating from zero. Let's see, oh yes that's right, the soundtrack is pretty good (apart from the modern rap, yikes) and oh wow Career mode finally got some attention. You can finally create your own club in "Manager Career Mode", which is sorely overdue, and in Player Career there are new perk trees and objectives to help progress your player through team and coach approval ratings.

    Then there's the negatives... but it says 5000 characters max so... yea. I'll try to summarize. Microtransactions are still garbage in an industry that should have left them behind ages ago and/or should have been legislated and banned as simulated gambling, but seeing as there is a massive spike in online sports betting and casinos, it is safe to say that the profit margin execs at EA are alive and well and will not be facing any criticism anytime soon. Hooray!

    This game has been slowed down in its tempo, which while not necessarily a bad thing, is a terrible idea for a game which relies on responsiveness and fast movement to compete when you are not lucky enough to have a strong connection to EAs antiquated servers. On top of this, the passing has become abysmal, and that is not hyperbole. There are way too many times when the "smart passing IQ" will send the ball to a place you were not expecting it to go, this happened last year in 21, and apparently passing is not important enough in a football game to fix. To add a nice cherry on top, sometimes your player will not even register a pass or register too late and cause you to concede more times than you should have. It is just a huge step backwards in responsiveness that is so critical in a game like FIFA and is by far the worst aspect of this game.

    The goalkeeping is all over the place, they save every shot in an 18-yard box, but will become dumbfounded by a finesse shot from just outside the same box. I would be all for a goalkeeper upgrade, but it is like EA has to leave an exploit available to balance it out, instead of making goalkeepers more competent so that well worked football goals actually feel rewarding.

    Player switching is another issue that has become unbearable this year, you can spam LB/L1 as much as you want to get that critical switch into your CB or CDM to defend, but it just will not snap to the right player for some reason, even when analog switching. A hint for some is that you can now click in the RS/R3 to select a player directionally, which is definitely a small fix, but it is very clunky and hard to do in FIFA which relies on split-second decisions.

    I will give credit where it is due, they changed Rivals & FUT Champs rewards for the better, making it a bit less of a grind to get better rewards, because most people, although they won't readily admit it, they play this game like a card collecting simulator more than an actual football simulator. This is ultimately due to the inconsistent gameplay, momentum mechanics, and horribly toxic community, and it is hard to argue against that.

    Also, EA have decided that all of the next-generation mechanics, such as "hyper-motion technology" and last minute goal celebrations will not make their way to PC because they did not want to "divide our userbase" due to graphic card limitations. Apparently the majority of us are still using Radeon HD 2000s and Nvidia 7800s, because last time I checked, FIFA runs on a potato and a majority of the userbase (at least on steam) are using GTX 1060s or better? Sounds like a bull defecated somewhere. In all honesty, I played the PS5 version as well, and it actually felt heavier and clunkier, so maybe it is a good thing that PC missed out on it. Cheers EA!

    People also will not agree with this part, and that is fine, but EA can relax with the political messaging, I do not need to be pandered to by a greedy, corrupt company that only cares about their bottom line, let alone multi-millionaire football stars that are miles from reality. Save it for your Twitter feuds that nobody cares about and take your BLM & Rainbow Laces propaganda and sod off. This crap is thrown in our faces in every facet of media and entertainment, why it has to be in this garbage FIFA game as well is beyond me.

    + Good soundtrack

    - Terrible gameplay
    - Awful delay
    - Microtransactions
    - Passing is abysmal
    - Goalkeepers are inconsistent
    - Segregating PC community (hell, even the 5 Stadia users got the next gen version)
    - Toxic community
    - Momentum swings still exist
    - Player switching is a chore
    - Responsiveness is a variable in every single game
    - Nobody cares about Volta
    - Political grandstanding

    Overall, stay on 21 if you are a casual PC user and unless you are a hardcore player, do not buy this trite garbage.    … Expand

    This is not a football simulation but only an arcade game that you have to do somethings that the game has asked you to score a goal.Crosses are just a waste of time.I have played nearly 100 matches and there is not a single time anyone scored a long shot goal.
    By long shot goals I am not referring no brainer,against physics finesse shots (!).Noone can score a long distance hard shot goal but however even the most talentless and incapable players score finesse shots with impossible angles.
    Since there is no logic in the game and defense does not exist, they decided make all the goalkeepers like Greek gods so they can prevent the matches to reach absurd scores like 9-13 like handball matches.The goalkeepers save everything, even the S400 missiles in the 6 yard box.
    I wish it was the same game different year but it seems EA now recklessly release the game not considering the players and what they think.It is really a shame that Hyper Motion is not included on PC and their explanations is way more fake.Just do your job and optimize it and then sell it EA!

    Despite its flaws FIFA 22 manages to find the balance point between simulation and fun. Although the fact some of its modes are far from perfect, it can offer the thrills that football gives to its fans, both online and locally. The much-discussed HyperMotion does its job perfectly and justifies the need for this year's edition, in contrast with previous years. If you consider yourself a football fan, there's no need to hesitate into buying this year's edition.
