    It's just a copy and paste, the only 2 big changes they make for this game r, 1st the name change from fifa 22 to fifa 23, 2nd price increase to $70. Everything is the same. I feel sorry for ppl who only play pro club, getting excited and pay $70 to play literally same shiit over and over.

The only thing EA cares about is FUT FIFA Ultimate Team and to sell kids and teenagers packs, packs and more packs. A good competitive squad costs upwards of 4000$ and pro players will have to shell out thousands of dollars each year to stay competitve - for me this is epitome of a pay to win title and the gambling mechanics with lootboxes containing random players - Mbappe costing around 1500$ - a single player out of 11 in your starting squad is insane. EA tries to market it and belittle concerns saying this is merely "surprise mechanics" but there is several research papers that show that this can lead to compulsive gambling and I have heard numerous first hand stories of people saying they know people that actually spend way too much on games like these that are being sold to 0+ - children and teenagers. The industry tries to lie to us and tries to picture them as rich people, while the "whales" - the people spent the most are - same as with real gambling addicts that are addicted to e.g. slot machines - rather poor people that fall victim to these predatory in game lootboxes. It is no coincidence that in Belgium and the Netherlands EA has been banned from selling packs in game in FIFA.… Expand

    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.

    Tactics are irrelevant, you anchor players in defense and find yourself huge holes, and slow players outrun the faster ones.

    The transfer market is full of bots, but FIFA soft bans players who usually use the transfer market, whose only fault is wanting to earn some credit without shopping.

    With each update, the gameplay changes and often changes between games as well.

    Ultimately you can do whatever you want but in the end, it's always the game that decides whether you have to win or not.

    And the thing I hate the most are unfortunate accounts: it's not possible that in years and years of FIFA I have never released a valuable player, opening hundreds and hundreds of packs every season, while people end up with duplicates of Mbappe and Ronaldo, icons, endless special cards.

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.

I understand they have their rules but I believe ppl with no interest or good moral compass work there. More than that there is no phone or live chat (despite they say there is) on EA website

    1)I had a problem with game not launching, my case was auto closed with some link to quiz/faq
    2) I had a problem with some expensive players being wiped out, my case was ignored and random message we apologize but we can't do nothing, its always the same "we apologize but we cannot do nothing, have a great day". So you buy this game or anything else from EA and you are on your own, just so you know

    as for the game, this is the same exact game with exactly same GUI and updated teams

    One thing is that there is a lot of sbc content, but unfortunately the grind for it resembles going to work and not fun, from what I see its almost the same every year

    the community is super toxic, which is understandable given weird mechanics and magical scoring opportunities happening at 45' and 90' minutes, players loosing their pace and attributes all of sudden and so one, it can be seen with naked eyes

    overall the game makes me angry, nervous and anxious, it's a very toxic and exhausting experience, I wouldn't recommend to my worst enemies, I would need to deeply hate someone to recommend fifa

    The trading gambling system makes it so you need to invest real money into the game to be able to win with all those tots, icons et cetera, without it is like driving a fiat to beat a ferrari, yes you can do that but imagine how that feels

    6. That's why this game will never be among the elite in today's market.    … Expand

    Absolute **** garbage pile of a game. Pitiful excuse of entertainment media. Year and year again EA proves why it is the most shameful, hated, vilified, and disgusting company out there. The AI is absolutely **** brain dead, for starters. **** that should be obvious to do, the AI is uncapable of doing. The defense is the worst part. You just gotta love how the defense leaves mile-wide gapsAbsolute **** garbage pile of a game. Pitiful excuse of entertainment media. Year and year again EA proves why it is the most shameful, hated, vilified, and disgusting company out there. The AI is absolutely **** brain dead, for starters. **** that should be obvious to do, the AI is uncapable of doing. The defense is the worst part. You just gotta love how the defense leaves mile-wide gaps in your area and how bad they are at passing the ball. Worst part? This is done intentionally. Since EA is shamefully incapable of coding an Associate project level AI, they increase the game's difficulty by making your defense borderline brain-dead. The only thing they achieve with this is your frustration at the game, and the relief in the fact that you pirated this **** trash. Secondly, nobody in your team runs with you to the rival area when you're racing down undefended, leaving you alone with the defense trailing behind you and the keeper in front of you. It's like they're just watching you play. And even if they run down with (in the few cases they do), passing the ball is useless because your teammates can't for **** sake jump to get and air ball or put their foot a centimeter in front of their defender. I can get a raspberry pi and a monitor and make a better AI in the time I take a **** Finally, the absolute bafoon controls. Sometimes you're undefended and onside and press "Y" to get a trough ball from your teammate, but if you do that just a single frame after your mate passes it to you, your character will automatically pass it along to the front, wasting the opportunity and giving it to the other team. This is game design 101. If you have the same buttons mapped to different functionalities, you cannot have those two functionalities overlap suddenly during in-game time. Who had the **** idea? Please fire that idiot.

    Overall, this franchise has been the same since FIFA 13 and will remain so as long as EA keeps selling copies to all those **** idiots that buy it year in, year out. Please either pirate this absolute doodoo game or just call your friends and go play football outside.    … Expand

    In the end, the upsides far outweigh the downsides or omissions, and the creators' concentration on improving the modes that earn the most money is logical. As a whole, however, the game works well. [Issue#324]

    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.

    If better hair physics is what you were hoping for when it comes to the new edition of FIFA – you’re in luck! The hair looks gorgeous now. But as for the other, more important things we need, it is the same as always. It takes a bit of improvement and a lot to pay for it.
