    A lazy, uninspired, shameless rehash of previous years content with some shallow cosmetic work added.

    It's an ok FIFA game. Everything is the same as usual, same gameplay, same weird player ratings, and essentially the same graphics. Just play last years, or the year before, or the year before that....

I almost thought to go to see my doctor but then I remembered something...I remembered that I play this Ea gambling simulator since 2015 and nothing changed. I remembered that I even talk to my friends when we were out and they wondered why don't play FIFA this week? And I always said that my players are tired or they are "stupid again". It feels so clearly that the game decides will you win or will you lose. Will you lose like a man with a 3:4 score or like a baby boy with 0:5 which will make you go and buy some FIFA points to open another **** pack? Ok guys I'm really sad that the PES series is dead (I played from 2004-2012) I'm sorry that there is no company big enough to bring us a good football game...… Expand

    It is the same game every year only with smaller changes. Ea has added hypermotion to the game but i can't see the difference between fifa 22 and fifa 21. The modes are boring and the same from fifa 16.
    Fut is a "money printing" machine for ea, but they have changed the colour of the menus.

    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.    … Expand

Make no mistake about it, charging up to £89.99 for this piece of junk is a sick crime, the list of bugs are endless. Player chat bug, check, manager confidence rating bug, check. 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.    … Expand

    Have not tried career mode or some of the other mode as I mostly play season and oh dear is that an RNG fest. They try to "simulate" but in the end it's all there is, it's randomly simulating every activity from passing through touch, goalkeepers and shots even. If it's your lucky turn and it works it can be enjoyable but once the generator is not on your side you will mispass majority of passes even on 5 star team, the amount of games it just would not work for me, slow to move, to pass or shoot, especially playing against PSG, you won't be able to get to them sometimes to take the ball while you won't be able to attack cause your team is not able to put 3 passes together without passing to opposition and Mbappe... he is on superman mode.
    The goalkeepers are unpredictable, sometimes they parry the ball outside, sometimes inside, other times they will lie down before the ball hits the air resulting in silly goals. Finesse shots outside the box curling in from crazy angles by the top players quite often.
    There is no balance or consistency and your skill or ability is really only 50% of the input. The rest is driven by the randomness, maybe you can see that in real live football/soccer sometimes but here it's is a little effed up.

    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.
