    I just cannot recommend playing FIFA 22 on the Nintendo Switch. I don't think it's worth it to be honest.

    Para mim, é a mesma coisa do FIFA 21: Legacy Edition, que já era literalmente a mesma coisa do FIFA 22, então.. É. É literalmente a mesma coisa.

    It's the exactly same game since Fifa 18, and they charge a full price for it every year.
    It's not bad, but there is no reason at all to buy it for switch,

    Only EA can sell people the same thing for years and still make money with it. You would have to laugh if it wasn't so impudent.

    The game itself is technically fine. It's not broken in any technical sense. It's the business practices of EA that's the real issue. EA is putting no effort in really updating the game, and there's no real reason for it other than complacency, sheer laziness, and misinterpreting the game market.

    If you haven't picked up a FIFA game on the Switch in a few years, yeah, I suppose it'll scratch an itch and fill a void you've been missing. It won't even seem that bad. But the bad reviews, even from professional critics, are bad for a reason: EA doesn't care.

    The worst part is, if sales slump (and they will) EA execs, with the big brain power they have, will completely misread the situation as being no one wants FIFA on the Switch and they'll stick to the other 2 big consoles in the XBox and PS5. The thing is a lot of people want FIFA on the go. It's not for everyone, but there's a market and they're leaving money on the table. The biggest reason why seems the simplest: It's hard to nickel and dime people out of microtransactions if they're only playing it on the bus or train to work, so why bother putting any effort in? Only put effort in for the people willing to pay the most microtransactions.    … Expand

    Once again FIFA Legacy Edition on Nintendo Switch proves that EA doesn't like getting money from Nintendo Switch gamers.

It looks like it should be on the original Xbox, PlayStation 2 and Nintendo Gamecube. I wouldn't even dumpster dive for this game.… Expand

    I believe that their score should be the same as the amount they put into these games. FIFA legacy edition is simply not worth it if you already own any other edition of FIFA on switch.

    besides all the insolence that FIFA allows itself, the game is also bugged. invisible players. Strange ball physics. Jerseybug etc. Dont buy it.

    This trash should be for free, it’s such a waste of money just to have the same port as 2019 and it’s bad to know that EA don’t trust Nintendo Switch to get it with better graphics and more modes to play, such a disappointment

    My expectations for fifa 22 legacy edition was honestly very low to begin with but the worst aspect of it is that is the same game as fifa 18 on the switch. No new features nothing, just updated squads and not even the squads are really up to date and sometimes Ive seen players dissappear from the squad.

    this really perplexes me, you rerelease the same game 4 times youd think atleast it would be functional, but of course not. So do we really wanna give EA more money at this point. I personally used to buy fifa almost every year for awhile back in the day when I owned an xbox. But this version of the game is an insult to sports fans and an insult to gamers. Most importantly though, shows how little EA as a company cares about their reputation and about customers.    … Expand

    Again, the same game with a different number. EA could port Frostbyte for Nintendo Switch to run good games on this handheld, but why can't we play a full FIFA 22? Nintendo Switch can perfectly run a full FIFA. One more year disappointed of EA with Nintendo Switch. Come on EA do something.

    It is a case of same old story for FIFA 22 unfortunately. Without any hint of a change in the way the Switch ports are approached, there is very little to recommend. Purchasing this would only add to the EA mentality that a 'Legacy Edition' is a perfectly acceptable option in today's market. If you've never owned a football game on a console, this is probably the way to go, gameplay is thankfully passable and there is not another out there with such fully comprehensive licensing domination. For everyone else however, until the whole mentality of EA changes in regards to showing respect to what fans deserve if gaming on the so called 'lesser' consoles, this is a clear own goal.

    FIFA 22 marks the third time EA has given us FIFA 19 with a different shirt on. It may clearly state Legacy Edition on the title, but being kicked in the groin isn't any less painful if your assailant tells you they're going to do it in advance. Once again, EA has insulted Switch owners by giving them the version it usually releases on dead systems. Do not accept it.

    FIFA 22 on Switch is the latest example of little to no respect being paid towards a fanbase being asked to pay a premium price for a virtually unchanged product. It’s just not good enough.
