    Good advice for all true football fans. Save your time and money and don't buy this football parody and instead play a few matches with the competition for free. This scam that has been repeated for at least 10 years is not worth your attention. it's the garbage of the gaming industry.

    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.

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

    Has nothing to do with football anymore. Too fast paced, games always finish with 10 or more goals, which is completely unrealistic. This is because the game is online focused, they made it like this so a match is never truly over, even if you're winning or losing 3-0. Not a simulation at all.

Your defending players will never run fast enough when defending for some reason, simple switch of play is mostly not accurate. I get fouled and the opponent gets the freekick. Goal keepers are superhuman. Physics of the game down right horrendous. Attacking player’s dribbles into my player and somehow passes him like he is an hologram. Square play never gets intercepted even when you position your player to intercept it. I honestly cannot name one single thing good about this game. Not one single thing they got right. This game turns ny best of days into the saddest most frustrating days in just two matches. F**k off EA for charging $100 for this and I will never buy an EA game again… 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.

    Rival CB with speed around 50 run twice as fast as my 90 speed LW.
    The acceleration is even more egregious, my players need at least 2-3 seconds to start doing anything. All rival players always achive max speed instantly. Rival CB are even crazier, max speed in one direction, made a 180º turn and instanly max speed again. My CB look like a train trying to change direction, needs several meters just to stop.
    It looks like the rival defenders intercept a lot of balls, but the true is the game just makes your player pass the ball to the opponent.
    The ai is constantly making faults but the refery does not care, you make a clean tackle inside your area, penalty.
    Your defenders controlled by the ai are constantly opening spaces for the rival.
    All rebounds are for the ai players. You can't even try, your players freeze until the ai team has de ball.
    in the same game a pass with almost no power goes far away and the next one a full power pass stops after 5 o 6 meters. This happens especially when the ai players make a strong pressure, all your full power passes fall short.
    The goalkeeper constantly concedes goals from balls that go to his body. Make some weird animation and falls liike someone has shoot him.
    When the game doesn't want you to score it's just impossible. Every shot goes to the middle. One on one situations, you make a shot or dribble and your player decides he needs 2 o 3 more steps before obeying you. Te keeper or a defender just rush you.
    The gameplay is only better the last games of the season if there's nothing at stake. If you need to win the last matches to win the league or a tournament, the cheating just go crazy.
    When the ai tackles you, they just activates an animation that makes your player unresponsive while the ai player goes like a cannonball to the ball. If you play a lot of games, sometimes they activate that whith the player to far, and you can see the ai player that is 10 meters away just flying over the field and making the perfect tackle. Literally flying, with one step he covers 10 meters.

    A gameplay like this sucks even if you win games, the game feel horrible and you contantly feel cheated.

    I make mistakes, but if when i try to correct a bad game decision I can't even control my players because they need 2-3 seconds to start doing something or need another 2-5 seconds just to select the player I want, or my defenders start running toward the bands to open spaces to the ai players, even if the play started by my mistake I feel cheated. The ai didn't need that to score but it does, because it is programmed to play like this.

    And the press conferences are incredibly stupid.
    I am in the last games fighting to win the league and they ask me if I think I will avoid relegation.
    Or ask me about my bad results the last games after a streak of several victories.
    Also ask me if I will manage to remain undefeated when I have already lost a game that season.    … 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.
