Oct 3, 2022There’s a famous saying from former footballer Gary Lineker that “football is a simple game – 22 men chase a ball for 90 minutes – and at the end, the Germans always win.” I want to make a similar assessment of EA’s yearly soccer game: FIFA 23 is a good game – it’s flashy, fun to play, and has a lot of modes – but in the end, you realize it’s mostly the same game you’ve been playing for years.

Jan 3, 2023Football is the world’s most popular game across borders, cultures, politics, and creeds because it offers fans the same exhilaration throughout the world. FIFA 23, when stripped of bland stories, greedy microtransactions, and mind-numbing team management, is a pure, exciting videogame. It’s the excess that ultimately mires it down.

Sep 29, 2022FIFA 23, like so many FIFAs before it, sums up the best and worst of football culture - a joyous game in the vice-like grip of profiteers.

Oct 3, 2022Without being the best thing since sliced bread, FIFA 23 is undoubtedly the most accomplished title of the series. The introduction of cross-play is a refreshing add, as is the change in commentators. Whether in terms of graphics or gameplay, the few small improvements made to the best-selling sports title in the world are quite satisfying. Managing the defence finally becomes interesting and one has a real chance to counter the previously overpowered strikers. The career mode, whether you are a coach or a player, is very immersive, which will delight the most demanding fans. Although there have been few changes to the FUT, its well-oiled mechanics will allow fans to indulge in creating their dream team. Lastly, the interaction between Volta and Club Pro is well thought out as it allows one to play with friends in different game modes. Ladies and gentlemen, all you have to do is put on your boots and get kickin’!
