    Had to refund the game because I was unable to launch it due to TERRIBLE ANTI CHEAT.
    Good job EA, despite releasing almost the same game every year, you still find new ways to screw it up on launch xD

    Imagine a FIFA game which is pretty much the same from the past 6 to 8 years. This is what this game is.

    Difficulty in this game is basically turning your AI into potato mode where you will have AI controlled players willingly allowing the opposition to progress. Come on, I'm somewhat annoyed at the moment because I'm experiencing it myself. THIS IS NOT DIFFICULTY!! The AI in this game

The AI in this game is dreadful, they need to dictate difficulty by turning your teams AI into braindead mode. Does that not speak volumes to how bad this game is?

    I'm not saying anymore about FIfa because you can look at my past Fifa reviews and apply most of it to this game. They're not getting better that is a fact.

    I do not touch non-game issues like glitchy anti-cheat or stuttering here and there.
    This year FIFA stays the same, do not lie to yourself.
    Visuals are a bit better, chemistry system is a bit different, there are minor revamps in different aspects but the core thing stayed the same: when you do anything besides the match itself - game is close to great but when match is started - even

    when you do anything besides the match itself - game is close to great but when match is started - even if you like it at first, gameplay will rise its ugly head later on. You'll see the same ping-pong, defensively helpless, mind-boggling decision making by the players, itchy animations, arcade-feeling speed (lol'd at those claiming FIFA is so slower and close to realistic this year)... It leaves you with the same filthy feeling of being robbed for 60 bucks.
    Yep, there are no good football alternatives this year but there are many great games around, direct your money there.

    -Yet to score from a cross

    2. Corners are completely useless
    -defender on the line have so far saved EVERYTHING. Litterally.

    3. CDM's and CM's are still useless when defending.
    -they will litterally just stand there looking at the oppositions playing through them. No marking, nothing.

    4. Power shots are broken, and hilarious, and feels amazing to do. My positive contribution.

    5. Keepers are fked
    -ridiculously broken at one point, ridiculously bad at another. Often in the same game.

    6. User defenders DO NOT MARK.
    -litterally left to defend solo against an entire team every time opposition crosses the midfield.

    7. Switching between players is horrendous.
    -switching between players makes no sense, and often it litterally just locks and won't let you switch into anything.

    8. If your player has below 75 ball control/dribbling, they will have a sunday league touch and turn.
    -You will litterally lose the ball if you pass to one of these 9/10 times.

    9. AI gets ALL LOOSE BALLS.
    -If you tackle, your player stumbles and another opponent picks up the ball.
    -if you slide tackle, your player will just fly off the pitch and opponent stands up and continues.
    -if you clear with a header, an opponent picks up 10/10 times
    -if none of these happens, it means you have tackled the ball out of play.

    10 (and final, but I have 50 more things to say about this steaming garbage joke of a game).
    IT IS SCRIPTED BEYOND PLAYABILITY.
    -If the game decides that you should concede a goal, you WILL concede a goal and that is a fact. If it decides you should score a winner in the last minute, the whole pitch will open for you and you can litterally just run the ball into the goal. Holy smokes this game is awful. WAOW

    I have so much to say about this game already, and most of them are bad. I don't think I can recall a worse release than this. I am appalled, and I wish there was some mentionworthy competition to this franchise. We have been robbed.

    I am stunned. Thank god for refunds. I was hoping the last game of the franchise was gonna be a banger, but I will wrap this up and say thank god this trash franchise is getting the knife. What a serial robbery this has been since 2013.

    Where to start, moderately enjoyable when you get to play. Couldn't play for weeks at launch due to anti cheat software and bugs. Even now I have to re-install the anti cheat once a week because it locks up my machine. Still can't launch the game with a mouse plugged in either cause it will default to mouse and keyboard controls with no way to change it.

    The worst though are the spotty

    The worst though are the spotty servers, you get a draft token, play FUT draft and it disconnects you with no warning. contact the help desk and they say "Its your fault not ours, oh and we dont even have the tools to help if we wanted"

    Bugs upon release that prevent the game from starting makes it a challenge to give a good review. If you can get past the EA Anti-Cheat failures. And the application crashes upon start-up. Fifa 23 is a good game; except for the "Hypermotion" replays that lag and stutter on my i7, 1080 GTX desktop. Gameplay itself once going thankfully doesn't have a problem.

    Update: Anti-cheat now

    I've addressed all these to the EA support but got no reply and it's clear to me they don't care about the FIFA community at all since many are facing similar issues but EA hasn't come up with a patch or given any solution. All they care about is people shelling money on their FIFA packs since they've been releasing new limited packs for the 20% of the people who are able to play the game instead of actually fixing the issues and making the game better.

    When the game moves to corners or penalties, there is stuttering and FPS drops dramatically.

    Everything looks as if the sharpness is way too high, too bright/too high color contrast.

    The audio is crackling so much it is scary, especially when the game stutters between camera transitions.

    The game recognizes a second ghost controller. After going wired it fixed itself but if I touch the keyboard or move the mouse, the game goes berserk and starts navigating the menus by itself.

    The players look terrible visually. In the main menu, their head is extremely large when compared to their body.

    Volta is a joke. All cosmetics are locked behind a big paywall. You can't even change or edit the members of your squad.

    After I force shut down the game it causes my memory to be at 100%, my PC freezes, there's audio crackling and I can’t do anything other than wait and hope that it will unstuck itself. I got scared the game might fry my hardware. I am afraid to launch the game again.

    I played at 1440p, uncapped FPS, and graphics on High (not even Ultra).

    This game sucks! EA earned 2bi with Fifa 22 and stills uses a bakery service.

    The game always disconnects, stuttering has no support for 144hz and stills the same script in online matches, where the AI decides who will win before the game starts.

    I give up, not buying FIFA 24.

    I have my computer configured exactly as required, what's more, before another reinstallation of the game, I discarded the file running anti-cheat from the game folder. The game tried to start for a moment, but stopped at the start screen and did not continue to start, probably due to the lack of anti-cheat.
    Thus, I have been unable to launch the purchased game for 7 days (as of 07/10/2022). I have already reported the problem once to EA's Polish helpline, supposedly I was put on the list of the aggrieved - supposedly what does that get me?
    I am running out of patience, and looking for help on your forums is some kind of drama, no one can competently help with this problem.
    How much longer should I wait for the problem to be solved?
    And what as an aggrieved party will I get from you as compensation.

    If we had to rate FIFA 23 as a single release, it would definitely score high for all that it has accomplished and offered this year. But on the other hand, if one also owns last year's version and one's involvement with the series is casual and purely for light entertainment, there is no reason to invest in this year's version.

    I can safely say that ground is suitable for playing football in FIFA 23's current state. However if we know EA they'll definitely change the game drastically to reshape FUT and I'm not sure if we'll like all those changes. That being said, FIFA 23 is your best option to satiate your hunger while the World Cup is approaching.

    It’s still the leading football game in town, but EA has made only minor changes in FIFA 23, such as set piece tweaks and a new way of shooting. If you didn’t enjoy 22, chances are you won’t be too impressed with this one either.
