    Disclaimer, I have played mostly on PC but If I'm being honest the difference between next gen and past gen aren't really that noticeable.

    Disclaimer, I have played mostly on PC but If I'm being honest the difference between next gen and past gen aren't really that noticeable.

    Straight to the elephant in the room, If you're buying this without expecting scripting of any kind you best find another football game. Scripting still exists and yes its still unfair as ever and ruining the game. Yes, EA deny this but do politicians lie? EA aren't transparent, they lie we all know this and this game is just riddled with this rubbish which ruins it. I want to take a moment to compare the scripting to SBMM, whilst I'm not entirely against SBMM because it is something which tries to match people on an equal skill level, the scripting of EA's Fifa nerfs players stats, nerfs the AI's ability upon holding position to give the opposition an easy attempt to score. This is basically ruining any notion of this game being competitive, the best don't always win because this game decides who it wants to have a big advantage. Like past Fifa's often you'll find its not your fault that you concede, whilst its not me saying I'm incapable of making a mistake it's just a good portion of the time the AI will decide what will happen.

    Another issue to point out is crossplay still not existing, those playing from Stadia, Xbox, Playstation and PC the overwhelming majority are using you guessed it a controller. There is no unfair advantage and there is no reason to not have a crossplay function to make the playerbase larger. For example, last time I bothered playing seasons it told me that only 88 people were online. That is laughably dead and that follows a trend with past Fifa's purchased on the PC.

    Gameplay wise Fifa this year does seem a little bit more open on the attack end, I'm finding myself scoring more freely. Making passes to attacking last quarter possible and 'tramp' goals exist. Yet, here is another disclaimer don't take any of this early review for granted because I suspect EA will update this game to the point of nerfing most of this and changing an early version of the game to something potentially frustrating.

    Graphically the game is as you'd expect, it's an old build so its nothing improved but i's still passable graphics don't make a good game. Music wise, it's the same old trash. Its main selling point is the arcade card gambling simulator in FUT which has ZERO accuracy on delivering a footballing experience.

    Career mode is the same as last year, star faces added in are at the usual bare minimum. Barely any attention to other leagues has been all but typically followed with no attention to smaller leagues and once again only attention to the big leagues. It's something which evidently does ruin the immersion and the lack of mod support to perhaps add faces in really is killing the experience.

    In summary, I would like to say that this game doesn't feel much more than a roster update whilst charging you $70, It's a very hard sell. If you're just looking to play a game which delivers a footballing sim I would avoid this game and stick to PES. The game delivers with nothing new and I don't think anything will ever change so long as FUT exists which is pretty much the same thing year in and out as well.

If you get a game, none of your passes go through, flair doesn't work, every single pass is a frustrating dead end. I'm a pretty good fifa player usually but this shower of crap is beyond belief. All exacerbated by not getting into games regularly enough. EA if your going to charge 70 pounds please make sure the game works or is fun. As it is I am on the brink of bringing a class action lawsuits against you for releasing a product not fit for purpose. To anyone thinking of buying this please I emplore you don't touch it with a bargepole.

    I work in the gaming industry and I can see EA doing the same thing as the company I work for is doing. They don't change something that makes money, period! Instead, in my company, they spend millions and millions on marketing department. People come and play, then they complain it's different from the ads. Guess what? Fifa is doing that!

    Every year they come up with great videos to tell you how the new AI is a gaming revolution, and you'll have an experience you have never had before. BS! That's the same game and the AI is just as stupid as the previous games. You'll be on rage, because you know what exactly your opponent will do and you still cannot avoid it! They do a long pass, you select your defender to follow, but they do not run, they freeze, they watch your opponent getting one-on-one with your goal keeper.

    My brother bought this again, and I am super pissed about it. This game will never change, this game will never be fun anymore, because they make too much money to risk a change. RIP Fifa.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I remembered the time when I was blown away by the technology and aesthetic of Fifa 97 followed by 98 with its World Cup edition. I rekindled my interest and went for their 2007, took a hiatus and returned for 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2021. I enjoyed 2016 and 2017 since the introduction of Pro Clubs. It got a tad jaded for me for 2018 but insist on getting 2019 - on sale - the following year. It was okay bit still lacking something i can't seem to fathom. That led me to skip 2020 but got 2021 on sale the following year on June 2021. We are here again at the pinnacle of the season where EA would usually releaseits next installment of Fifa only this tike I decided to get on Day One due to next gen console - my PS5. Read some reviews and O convinced myself - how bad can it really be? I mean hey, next gen! I got that usual excitement on its intro with Beckham doing a cameo alongside Cantona, Thierry Henry and even Lewis Hamilton in the VIP box. Fun fact. That's all there is for the excitemnet.
    Yup. Apart from the slightly clean finish of players texture and rendering, you're basiccally playing Fifa 2018 with more customizable avatars for Volta football, Career and Pro Clubs. And there instqnces where your players went missing after a celebration and EVERYTHING feels even more scripted than before! Your defenders refused to defend (as usual) and worse part? They make that abrupt stop after a standing tackle, allowing the opponent to recover the ball and all that beyond your control. Nuff said. I tried guys. I tried to believe and give another chance but this time it seems like EA has reach that milestone for releasing the worse Fifa

I signed players up to new contracts, all of a sudden in the player chat tab here’s a message moaning about a new contract, then shock a transfer request, how can you combat this? You can’t. Then my manager confidence rating plummets from 90 to 39, despite being top of the league and completing two of the three main objectives. I got sacked and the work that I put in to creating a new team, playing through the matches and winning the league goes down the toilet, as does my money, this is criminal. I also tried player career mode and found it boring, uninspiring and just as lifeless as it is every year, with very minimal changes, that only satisfy the very easily satisfied. As for pro clubs, I haven’t played it but I can imagine that it’s just the same, this series is made for one reason, to make money from EA’s twisted ultimate team mode.

    As for the gameplay, where do I begin? Finesse shots were once overpowered, now they are underpowered, long shots however are a joke, be prepared to concede an insane amount of goals from 30 yard shots. Some of these critics must be living on another planet, or they’ve been given a completely polished version of the game to review. My career mode experience ruined the game completely for me, it’s bordering on criminal, if this game constitutes a 9/10 rating, then these critics are simply lost, corrupt, or both.

    EA are one of the most morally bankrupt, hideous game companies, this game is further proof and sadly with the way PES has gone, they no longer have competition to FIFA, stay clear from this rubbish game.

    And F those reviewers giving this game 8's and 9's they're so unbelievably deluded and are clearly getting paid by EA for giving those reviews.

    Worst FIFA in 20 years. Feel like they’ve truly spoilt the game. Terrible gameplay that doesn’t reward good play and ability, attackers pace too overpowered vs defenders and a clunky defensive system. Really disappointed as FIFA was my go to. Pro Evo might get a chance to impress

    By far the worst fifa I’ve ever played. 19 was bad, but this game is unplayable. Mechanics are not to be found, keepers save everything they shouldn’t and whiff on everything that they should save. Players can’t show skill via skill moves, or even passing for that matter. The game is horrible. They would have been better off shipping 21 with a new Home Screen. It was bad, but NOTHING closeBy far the worst fifa I’ve ever played. 19 was bad, but this game is unplayable.

I’d rather play backyard soccer circa ‘04 on my pc than this game. It is by far the worst sports game I have ever played.. if you haven’t bought it, until they completely fix this atrocity of a game, here’s a tip: DO NOT BUY THIS GAME! It is one of the biggest regrets of my life. I’d sooner purchase a ticket to Fyre Fest than buy this game again. If I could refund it, I would. Please don’t buy this game until they show some sort of effort to fix it. Expand

    No cross-play with PlayStation again. I'd buy this game every year but I'm on PC and only my console friends buy this game. There's no point in getting to play alone. I know consoles are great but I don't want one, gamed on console for a decade but can't go back after experiencing PC, personally. Why does EA hate money from PC players?

    One wrong pass will cost you a lost or maximum a draw in the game .
    Most of the streamers close the ps5 edition and start playing ps4 edition where you can score goals and theres no automatic defense! Very bad gameplay after more than 50 game in ps5 you will just move to ps4 edition .

    PS4 Version at least is much better then the previous games but totally based on Fifa 21 but improved version.

    EA, fix your mess!

    Some side-notes: Please give career mode more attention. It is super buggy; The game is switching around my players position on the field when i'm changing tactics (And when I try to save and overwrite every single tactic, but the system forgets about my changes...)., the AI freezes when having ball possesion, the "hidden" difficulty-adjustingsystem is still a thing (it feels like a script - some games become almost impossible to win), etc. So sad!
    In addition to the bugs, you are making some strange choices for the games' direction. Nobody cares about attending live press conferences, transfernegotiations or playing the the trainingpass every god damn week. It's niche and boring AF after the first time. Such a shame you seem to focus more on making chores rather than making fun gameplay. Maybe your developers should try playing the game while creating it - you know, just to get a feeling of which parts of the game is fun to play and which parts seems to be unneccesary features that nobody wants or ask for.

    0/10 - unplayable. Better luck next year...

    FIFA 22 shows its wasted potential every step of the way. When everything works as it should, it’s the best FIFA in years. The problem is that while sometimes the new HyperMotion technology works great and really makes a noticeable difference, the game often picks wrong animations from its mind-boggling array of 8 million. Let’s hope EA Sports builds on these promising foundations, fixes what needs to be fixed and delivers a truly great experience next year. [12/2021, p.36]

    FIFA 22 has improved the feel and smoothness of actions, but there are almost no changes in the game mode and gameplay. The reduction of stand-alone content makes it not very suitable as the first FIFA entry for newcomers.

    FIFA 22 looks amazing on next-gen hardware which was to be expected. What was not to be expected is the brilliant gameplay. It still isn’t a full-blown simulation, of course, but it’s way more tactical and fun than before, including the (in)famous Ultimate Team. The only thing that truly suffers is the neglected Career Mode.
