    90% of goals scored in this game, you won't see them in real life!

    -Take the ball from the one flank
    - dribble the defender even if you have Maguire dribbling - Pass to the attacking forward like he is alone in the football pitch (defenders could avoid the ball if needed)
    - score the easiest goal in football history
    REPEAT

    .. ARCADE..

    30 years of developing football games and they still can't bring everyone together to enjoy football. Players feel sluggish, passing has a mind of it own, finishing is decent, camera glitches, goalkeeper hit boxes disappear from time to time and if you don't put money in you can forget about competing in FUT, they have ripped the soul out of football games.

    It's just not fun anymore, thankfully with EA losing the FIFA license, we may end up with a real football game. EA you will not be missed.

    Best advice: Save your money and buy a pet, sure it will urinate and crap everywhere like EA but at least it will learn, change, grow and feel part of the family - leaving you with that money well spent feeling.    … Expand

Lazy developers more focused on in game purchases than the game itself. Here's some broken features.

    • Refereeing logic is inconsistent and moronic. Incorrect penalty decisions, flawed advantage and idiotic decision making in general. Definitely the worst seen in any Fifa. • Pin Ball Simulator- Tackle animations consistently lead to the ball going back to attackers. As do blocks and interceptions which often fail in critical situations. The ball is more slippery than a bar of soap in a prison shower. • Broken defensive AI - Defenders run backwards constantly leaving a huge gap to the midfield. Midfielders do not track back. If you play a high line to counter this issue, there's an auto offside trap activated randomly without logic or reason. •Player Switching and manual defending - Just a horrible system that rarely works in any version of Fifa. Trying to use either is a stressful experience. • A one-dimensional, predictable meta, set up for counter attacking and sprint trigger merchants. Using any form of possession outside of spamming through balls using direct passing is going to be a painful experience. •limited gameplay modes within FUT, generally making the experience repetitive and boring. •Kick off glitch - Anyone who has played Fifa knows what I'm talking about. •Broken corner logic - defensive AI force's players to sit inside they're own box rather than pushing out.

    •Broken keeper animations - often leads to goals scored where a keeper reacts incorrectly to the situation. For example, running past the ball or diving the wrong way. • Frequent Kit clashes in FUT unless you select your home and away kits. • Over powered AI assisted pressure tactics which break attacking Player mechanics and animations. Works even with depleted stamina and leaves opponent with no passing options •PC Cheats impacting Cross play •Practice mode broken - No first person perspective on free kicks • Step Over Speed boost overpowered The list could go on and on. Just a crap game    … Expand

    This game wasn't finished when it was released, i got no doubt about it, the sluggish and sloppy gameplay and unbalanced physics proves it. Tradable sbcs were removed so that game becomes even more pay to win. EA never has a sympathy for players, the only thing they care about is their own pockets.

    Too much random rubbish in the gameplay. Keepers are terrible. Dive out the way for balls that are hit straight at them. AI is incredibly unintelligent. There are times when all AI defenders are standing still. Also strikers standing 5m in an offside position. Rebounds ruin the game. I put hours into a career mode only for it to be wiped. Glad this is the last year.

The gameplay has been the most unfortunate part of it as the developers decided to decrease players’ response time to compensate for ‘building up your gameplay’. I would have totally understood this if maybe teams like Liverpool who have clearly dropped in form and quality were exempt from this feature and left overpowered. The incessant hard tackling without foul calls that stemmed from FIFA22 is now worse. Did I mention that Neymar Jr has been intentionally watered down and Liverpool defenders (Even Fabinho) will catch up with your strikers regardless of the distance?

    At the time of writing this review, the latest update made Nunez bald (looks like Jonjo Shelvey now) which makes me believe that the developers had no interest at all in detail and just wanted to put something together to sell and put their lazy feet up. The commentary is still the same, drab and unintuitive. Another waste of money if you care about it and honestly EA needs to actually stop this piss poor development and and be serious.

    3rd straight year that I can't play FUT from Turkey, because of the latency issues. It is nearly impossible to play if the ping is higher than 35ms, and this year it is always between 40-50.

    Can play volta/seasons without any issues that tells me fut servers are insufficient. Make a 10 dollar version if you won't supply us with the FUT service. Disgrace.

    The passing is completely broken as it will not go where it's intended to, even with proper power and direction inputs. Through ball is exactly the same problem, that's why people is now abusing lob through ball because it somehow can fly to the target with great accuracy. Trivela, yes, trivela, one of the hard skills to master in real football now is being used everywhere in Fifa 23. Shooting, crossing and even ground passing, people are now using trivela everywhere! You heard it right, EVERYWHERE!!! And did I mention the horrendous servers of EA yet, which always cause lag and delay in most of the games? This year the lag compensation went another big step ahead and prevented all good setup to have a smooth game play. Got a PS5 with exclusive 1Gpbs wired connection, cool, but your players will never move as you expected, it's all muddy and clunky, extremely unplayable. Just don't trust their marketing brochures and videos, they're all fake. Hypermotion 2 is totally fake on new gen. We can't control the players at all as they give extra touches out of nowhere, while unable to do a simple turn without going a long way chasing the ball. When the gameplay is fast and responsive for you, the issue seems minor, but when it becomes horrible with lag and delay, you'll feel it, as of now when everyone I know is complaining of EA servers. Check reddit and see how the world is talking about this **** game.
    I made a mistake buying this game and I regret it. Just don't buy this game as it's not fun at all. Spend your quality time with your family and friends, not this game. EA will be EA, they're like war: war, war never changes!    … Expand

The game is now entirely based on skill dribbling, and without it is simply and plainly frustrating. The players on the ball have become so unbelievably slow, that there is no chance of creating any kind of space. Even with players with a pace of 90+, if you managed to create a ball that leaves them alone in front of goal, the defenders will manage to be there in a matter of 2 seconds and take the ball away in 90% of the cases. Even if you keep up a high passing rate and try to play your way to the box, there is no way of creating space because the players have the worst 1st touch of all time. It feels like they all carry around 1 tonne of weight, and even I could turn easier with the ball in real life, so that means, that left stick dribbling has been entirely eliminated. Of course, there is another way of "becoming good". You just buy all the players with the maximum speed and hope for the best. These players again have a high skill level. So if you play against someone with only fast players that knows how to skill move, you have no chance whatsoever. This game has nothing to do with football, and it feels like EA actually want the game to be purely based in skill moves, If I would want something like this, I would play VOLTA. If I could, I would ask for my money back. This is 100% the last FIFA (or however they will name this game next year) that I will every buy from EA. The career mode seems better than before, but even if you play against the AI on legendary level, the only thing the players do is skill dribble the whole time. This is not realistic, and I am asking myself if any of the creators of FIFA have ever played football in real life. I could keep on and talking about the bad animations of goalies, passing is basically a game of chance no matter what pass you choose, how the players pass the ball directly into the feet of defenders even though there is a 20 meter gap to get the ball to your player, how the only way to protect the ball is to turn your back to the attacking player, and how one week after release all teams are already made out of M`Bappes, Neymars and Icons, but I will rather burn the Disc now, because that is the only way you will have some fun with this game. Because that is what EA have done, they have simply killed all the fun in FIFA. I give a rating of one, because I like the new power shot, which is the only positive thing added since FIFA 22.… Expand

    FIFA 23 is perfectly serviceable, the gluttony of FIFA fans won't find much to complain about. Truth be told, the formula is so one-dimensional that it is hard to get wrong after iterating on the same product year after year. Subtle tweaks to gameplay do mix things up, but not enough has been done to refresh the modes on offer. Either EA are out of ideas, or they are storing them up for their next game in their new franchise. Anyone looking a football game in 2023 though should certainly stick with the tried and tested FIFA.
