    Its a well polished turd as always .
    The defending and player switching are just awful in this game.
    I really wish everyone at EA dies.

    gameplay itself is fun but overall game is terrible because of the obvious scripting. you can literally totally dominate your opponent but they still beat you much of the time. i know this happens in real soccer/football but the frequency at which it happens in this game is totally unrealistic and is honestly a joke. terrible game overall.

    No wonder FIFA is revoking this game rights to use their brand name in their games. This is not football, there are plenty of arcade football games from the 90's that are far more advanced and better as an overall game than this trash. Game is hacked and cracked and I'm talking about the live version, so many cheaters and the game doesn't give you any option to report cheaters.

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

    Anything you do in the game is controlled in the background by algorithmic code. You might press buttons to do actions on screen, but the outcome will always be controlled by algorithms.

    Thank god FIFA have finally seen the light of day and will be branching out with other companies to make other football games, taking away the monopoly EA hold so dearly.

    Dear EA, My word, you really know how to screw up a game after the first week of release, year on year! Hypermotion!!! What a laugh. Copy and paste from FIFA 18 to FIFA 22.

    Shambolic game play, take about 5 mins to find an opponent and when you do, guess who it is... PSG. Please trust me, do not buy this game, it is not fun at all.

    They managed to **** up the only good part of the fifa series: before if you played with a 3 star team, you could set up the game in auch a way, that you would only get opponents that also played with 3 star teams. Now regardless of my setting, I get opponents playing with 5 star teams. Such a garbage...

    The only good thing is that the game is slower.

    VOLTA Futsal Mode is the best soccer video game I've played since International Superstar Soccer Deluxe in 1995-1996.

    Absolutely perfect in everything, mechanics, physics and movement. I am required to give a grade of 10.

There's no question, that when EA touch a game, that have little to no flaws, they all of sudden turn it into a crap game. It is astonishing to me to see all of the changes that were made that make the game worse.
    Offline Modes: Career mode is still dull, with the twist of creating your own club, crest, and kit. However, you still cannot build your own stadium, which I find rather odd. You still cannot change your kit after a season, and overall the customization still lacks. Skill games are the same, still no reason for me to play them. Skill games in the past used to give points in the EA catalogue which let you have cool in game items. They were fun, and would often play them friends to compete with them. Now they aren't really that fun, and just fodder I skip past to get to the game.
    Volta: It is improved, but if you can't play online, then you're basically screwed. Still not very fun, and very frustrating to play.
    Pro Clubs: Haven't got to play this much, but from what I can tell, it's still being neglected.
    Ultimate team: Congratulations EA! You really made FUT **** again. It's truly gobsmacking to see you ruin a game mode this year. It is more than true to say that high rated players are less easy to attain. As someone who plays the game pretty consistently, and who opens packs regularly, still getting crappy players. SBC's are also almost impossible for someone like me to open, because I have to constantly sell players in my club or use them in other SBC's. The players you want are simply unattainable, and that's what separates players who have unlimited amounts of resources and time, to beat out the people who just want to play with Messi or Ronaldo in their team. It is pay to win and they know it. The more money you put into the game, the more you can benefit. But it shouldn't be like that. It should be the quality of game that you play. Rewards for playing are still dismal at best. There is no way someone can reasonably can have a good team without sending EA their work check. Instead of working on new ways to help the player be able to afford good players and craft sbcs, you guys find ways to line your own pockets.
    Gameplay: EA did it again. The end of Fifa 21 wasn't perfect , but was way better than this. Instead of working off of the last game, and making subtle improvements, EA change the entire game. At launch, keepers were insanely good. Now, since the last patch, keepers seriously can't do anything. Finishing is the worst it's ever been. Finesse shots are useless. Passes, through balls, and crosses are worse than ever. Defending is mind-numbingly bad. Scripted moments are back, and it seriously feels as if the game doesn't want you to have fun. Chemistry doesn't effect anything anymore. Don't get me started on connection issues.

    See EA, as soon as you make a product that is somewhat viable, there always has to be an end line. There always has to be something wrong. There always is another fix. Its a shame. Im very excited for UFL and new games like that so we can stop playing games that aren't worth it.

    Update: As of May 2022, I have stopped playing fifa. It is by far the worst fifa title I have ever played by far. There are no redeeming qualities to this game, and I assure you that you will go into a deep depression after playing this game. It makes you hate yourself for playing it. The rewards seem unattainable for casual players, and there isn't an end in sight. The game doesn't feel rewarding anymore. Everything is unbalanced. Nothing works as advertised. I'm done with fifa. It's over. The game I played growing up is now dead forever.

    It’s hard to find where I stand with FIFA 22. I was a die hard FIFA fan, and bought every single game at launch until around FIFA 17. I stopped because it felt like the new gameplay mechanics were always unpolished which made them feel like they were going backwards with each year, and it felt as if the only thing EA cared about improving was FIFA Ultimate Team, for obvious reasons. IIt’s hard to find where I stand with FIFA 22. I was a die hard FIFA fan, and bought every single game at launch until around FIFA 17. I stopped because it felt like the new gameplay mechanics were always unpolished which made them feel like they were going backwards with each year, and it felt as if the only thing EA cared about improving was FIFA Ultimate Team, for obvious reasons. I missed the past two years of FIFA, and it definitely feels like all of the updates they made previously are more refined. This is a good thing, but it says a lot about the intentions of the company if it takes them 3-4 years to fix new mechanics that should have been ready to go when they first rolled out. Regardless, we are finally here. It finally feels like a smooth FIFA experience again.

    At it’s core, FIFA 22 is a solid FIFA game. It does not shine in any areas, but it’s also not overtly weak in any areas either. It feels like a game that is exactly what it is, a game that is overall very good but makes minimal progress year after year. I think the long running sports franchise is in need of a reboot, just rebuild the entire game from the ground up, because it feels way too similar to the FIFA games I played 10+ years ago. I understand this is generally how sports games are, and from a business angle it makes perfect sense, but I think we are due. The only major issue I have with the game is that it feels like the AI has become much worse. It almost feels like every player has a “zone” they operate in, and they have become more rigid with only playing in their zone. It’s far too common when I send a second defender to pursue the attacker with the ball, he kind of hovers near them and then completely stops covering them, leaving a huge open for a super clean cross. Auto switching and player pursuit has always been an issue, buts noticeably worse.

    The graphics are good, but still feel like they are from last generation. The sound design is the same as always, which I must admit has been very good for awhile now. The presentation is just about the same - minor menu changes, minor overlay changes, but it’s all the same. FIFA also needs to figure out something with the Italian league, not that I’m a fan, but they are losing teams a bit too often now.

    All in all, I enjoyed FIFA 22. It’s a solid FIFA game, if you enjoy FIFA then there is no reason you wouldn’t like this one. Objectively, I give the game an 8/10, but the series as a whole needs some changes.

It used to be fun to use the bronze/silver players in FUT as a way of easing in to the game. Now, the only thing that matters is how fast you can get your credit card out.

    Still wondering why people are playing this game if they are doing everything except playing football in order to score, runing straight at the kick off, using all the possible bugs and overpowered things of the game, the community is full of 12 to 15yo kids, which don't care about football, they just play in, order to win without any consideration for the football. It's true that EA doesn't seems to care about bugs and op things, but this trash community isn't helping it.

    Guys if you don't like football, don't play a football game.

    Would go for a refund (if only PSN gave me that option) as I have uninstalled this piece of abomination of a game. What's next? Going back to F21 or just dropping the franchise completely (been playing since F13) as I can do something much better with my spare time than get randomly frustrated.

    Shame, I had high hopes for this one.

The enemy AI almost always hits the ball perfectly and transforms almost any ball (whether it’s Ronaldo or a 4 league player). However, the AI of your fellow players is all the worse. The keyboard input is sometimes simply ignored (which can quickly lead to goals), in the penalty area no man cover is made and the opponents are free to shoot.
    All in all, the gameplay this year is really bad and if something doesn’t change quickly I will probably stop playing this game and look for other alternatives.

    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.

EA tells me this is due to my "internet", which is the same internet that produces absolutely no lag on ANY other game including Fifa 21. Half of the time I try to play friends offline I can't even do that because of the "ghost controller" issue where a random controller is assigned to a team in which the entire console must be reset in order to fix. This game in no way reflects actual football and is a COMPLETE joke.

    Think all players agree its more obvious than ever that RNG determines who wins.

    Keepers will let in or save goals at random and not on the difficulty to save. I got lucky with packs and have a few million coins and I can safely say affordable prem players will probably win you more games.

    The goalkeepers will decide who wins and outfield players will have little to no influence on the game.

TOTAL pay-to-win. It's all about buying new packs. Gameplay - After couple of wins you will lose every single match 5-10 times in a row even vs full gold team with 75 overall controlled by a monkey because your players will get -50% to all stats. Enjoy playing with your bronze team. 99% of the times if you win 2-0 before 30 min you will lose 2-3+ (50%+ you will be COMPLETELY DESTROYED) because your team will start passing to your opponent and play against you + you will see situations contradicting the laws of physics at almost every stage of the match including notorious penetration of the ball through the body. After 1-2 wins your next match will be a complete disaster. It will be 90 min of pure madness. You will see how the ball is bouncing back to your opponent for 90 min non stop, sometimes 10-20 times in a row... WHAT ARE THE ODDS XD???? You can predict when you will concede a goal even 30 sec earlier because your team is literally doing everything to help your opponent. This game is a joke like whole EA. Complete pay to win.

    I've just read the first comment saying "we have a real football simulator". I'm baffled at how blind, or oblivious, this person might be. This might not be the worst FIFA in franchise's history, at least not in every category, but it is an awful game.

    Anything, from offline to Ultimate Team and Pro Clubs is made to be completely random, controlled by the omnipotent AI which decides
    I've just read the first comment saying "we have a real football simulator". I'm baffled at how blind, or oblivious, this person might be. This might not be the worst FIFA in franchise's history, at least not in every category, but it is an awful game.

    Anything, from offline to Ultimate Team and Pro Clubs is made to be completely random, controlled by the omnipotent AI which decides your fate as a player, in many circumstances, and this is what so many people refer to as "scripting".

    This could not be further from a real game of football, if we except the graphic value of the game, the only reason for which I give a point to it. You would think playing with friends against other people on the Pro Clubs mode would minimise the influence of the AI. But it still finds a way to destroy your/your opponent's game somehow. Sometimes through a full match, sometimes for just a period of time. Through balls in the air are overpowered, AIs completely unbalanced between one team and the other, and the "momentum" shifts completely without any warning, after scoring a goal or two.

    In a good game, controls are meant to be accessible and hard to master, making the gameplay rich and a strong player should most of the time beat an average player, or a bad player. In FIFA, this goes to the bin. The dumber you are, the more likely you are to win games and have the game help you at that. Of course, there is a threshold, and people who triumph in worldwide competitions most likely understood the broken mechanic of the game, and use it to their advantage, but this only proves my point which is that the game is not fun, and those players don't play it for fun anymore.

    There is input lag, again, from time to time, on certain plays, which you can do without any issues in other circumstances, but all of a sudden your player takes an extra touch, or slows down his movement, without being tired. Even so, other tired players (often AI players) find a second wind out of nowhere despite their stamina meter clearly showing they're tired.

    I used to think scripting was a myth in FIFA, because the game was much more balanced, and fun to play. This hasn't been the case for years now. I believe most people would forgive EA even with their marketing campaign, promoting features that already existed in old games of the franchise, before disappearing and being used as newly introduced content to make sure people tune in. That gameplay is unbalanced, biased, chaotic, random, sometimes hand in hand with luck.

    What is worse, is that it has spread in the mind of the dumbest, sweatiest players that you only complain because you're not good at the game. I can hold my hands up high and say without a shadow of shame that I'm not good at this game anymore, because this game sucks. But I don't know if what worries me more is the fact no competitor is offering anything decent to fight EA's monopoly, or the fact so many people seem to believe this is actually a good game.

    Another awful game added to the Fifa franchise. Gameplay is subpar and the AI is atrocious, teammates literally stand there watching balls go by them, the AI is so bad it genuinely feels like that part of the game is still in beta testing. EA sports continues to put out garbage even on the new systems, what a shocker!

    Terrible game play, unresponsive, defending is worse than 21, penalties are all apparently free kicks from the centre spot according to the voice over/ commentator. Feels rushed and pitch looks fake from some angles in game play. Wish I never paid for the ultimate edition. Feel like my money has been robbed

    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.
