    FIFA 22 is really good. With new features on career mode like the return of Create a Club and improved gameplay and animations. I can say it's a recommendation.

    Great game, I don't know why it has so many negative opinions, but what about this site most users like to play awful games (pro evolution soccer/efootball, doki doki, half life) I prefer fifa, it's fun to play, now it's very realistic, you can own a club in your career to create the ultimate complex, well, only advantages.

    FIFA 22 is much better than FIFA 21, e.g. penalty and graphics.
    But if you want a different FIFA you have to wait a decade. :-)

    Despite the bad critics I think Fifa 22 is a good game. Not the best of the series but better than both Fifa 20 and Fifa 21. With new features like Create a Club or the new Player Career Mode EA took Fifa 21 removed the major bugs and added new features without changing too much.

    the first and probably the only ea game that they actually added new features and improved the game by an enormous chunk for the new gen consoles, with pc not being excluded. u will most probably never see a significant improvement as big as this one (graphics and content) in the next decade

    pros:
    good game play
    good improvements in career mode
    cons :
    online games are all scripted
    defense mechanism sucks and defenders and Goal Keeper
    a lot of unlicensed teams and player faces which you need to use third party patch and mods to get rid of them

    As with many others, I played a lot of FIFA when I was a kid – FIFA 2000, 2002 World Cup, 2003, 2005 World Cup, 2007, 2008, 2009, and a few pre-2000 titles. Then, I stopped playing. However, recently, I played FIFA 19 with my colleagues at work and realized I wasn't as good as I thought.

Then, I stopped playing. However, recently, I played FIFA 19 with my colleagues at work and realized I wasn't as good as I thought. So, I decided to buy FIFA 22, hoping to improve my skills since I didn't want to keep playing so poorly.

    Unfortunately, EA disappointed the PC FIFA player base by not releasing the next-gen version of the game on PC. Instead, they provided the old-gen version, like the one on PS4. The reason behind this decision was that many players have budget PCs, and releasing the next-gen version could split the player base or exclude those with low-end PCs. Just a little background information.

    I can only compare FIFA 22 to FIFA 19, as that's the last one I played, but I can say it feels and looks better. Although I'm no expert, it doesn't seem like an entirely new game, more like an updated version. It's surprising how EA manages to release essentially the same game each year, with minor tweaks and feature changes, and market it as a new game, even charging full-game prices. But that's just my opinion.

    For me, FIFA 22 was and still is a great way to pass the time, playing a match or two against random people. I mostly lose, but I try my best. xD Despite my lack of success, I have fun playing this way. I did give the career mode a shot, but it didn't captivate me enough to continue. As for the other game modes, I can't really comment since I haven't explored them much. One thing I'm sure of is that people shouldn't go the FUT (FIFA Ultimate Team) road. It feels like a pay-to-win, casino-like simulator, and you end up spending money on a game that loses significance once the next one comes out – just my two cents.

    Gameplay-wise, FIFA 22 offers a fun experience, depending on what you're looking to get out of it. However, I don't see myself buying any other FIFA anytime soon. One installment is enough for me. If the player base dies out and I can no longer find opponents to play against, so be it. Maybe I'd consider a radically-changed new FIFA game, but I won't pay for just an update.

    El sistema de jugabilidad defensivo lastra de una forma que hace menos disfrutable el juego en comparación con otros Fifa, además parece que esta versión no es next gen.

    Good game. The FUT mode remains as fun as it was, but the interface leaves a lot to be desired. There is no way to see all the items in the club (for example, all player cards). Overall, FUT hasn't changed. The career mode is interesting, but the expectations from the coach for the game are too high (although this is balanced thanks to training), but it is still a little annoying. TheGood game.

The gameplay has become slower, but it will most likely be so only until the first patches. I don't see any strong differences from FIFA 21, but the game is still interesting for football fans like me. VOLTA is an interesting mode. I don't know how long it can last, but I spent my couple of hours on it. Expand

    I marked an otherwise solid game down for the scripting and the downright con that is Ultimate Team. It couldn't be more blatantly obvious that EA does its best to hold you back in an attempt to get players to part with money to buy packs to get better players.

I was on a 13 game winning streak, totally dominating my games and then literally in an instant my players turn into useless idiots gifting the opposition goals, my keeper suddenly spilling easy saves etc etc. For a football game, the player actually has very little control. The game pre determines which player is going to come out on top on Ultimate team, and it creates a horrific and horribly frustrating experience.

    Career mode is ok.

    The game is nothing special. Ultimate Team is an absolute con.

    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. 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.

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.

    Although single player modes are fun and deeper on the detail and soccer world simulation (Finally, cause the other games were pretty slack on this aspect), a lot of the mechanics are just awful.

Ultimate team, each game that passes is increasingly plagued by microtransactions, making it enjoyable and satisfactory only for Youtubers or content creators who can afford to pay a lot of money to obtain the best items in the game.

    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.

    I feel that around 3/10 is very fair and honest (read and find out more).

    First of all, let me say that I was the highest division last 4 years in every FIFA since 19. I usually played it too much and hoped that every year the game will be better. 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

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.

    When I see positive reviews of this game, I wonder, how bad had to be previous FIFA 21.

    Cons: * defending AI - why my CM/CMD/CB behave like newbies? What I mean is, there are cases, where the ball is right next to player and he decides, instead of take over the ball, let it go to the opponents striker. That doesn't make any sense. * input lag - while playing online, I saw, that there

    * input lag - while playing online, I saw, that there happens to be delay between clicking button on my XBOX controller and player action.
    * 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.
    * Graphics.

    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.

    After many hours spent on the next-gen version of FIFA 22 (PS5-Xbox Series) and its old-gen bent, the conclusion is there: PC, Xbox One and PS4 players will have a version with the flaws of the new generation, but cut off from its strengths.
