FIFA 23

Just way too many issues for me. EA have had two years to fix some of these issues from FIFA 21 and still haven't! And some are new. Kit selection bug where they don't load properly, refs also still wear the same colour as the teams, full time whistle blows at any point even when attacking in the opponent's box, advantage is awful now: we scored straight after a tackle but ref brought it back for a pen and we saw other stupid advantage decisions where advantage was played-the ball instantly lost- and the ref didn't bring it back for the foul, ai scored a screamer own goal from the edge of their own box, reaction times are so slow-you hit a button and the player takes so long to respond it doesn't even feel like you're in control of the game, passing is off-sometimes it's fine and then randomly it will just pass way off either to the wrong person or just boot it out of play, player got injured in pro clubs and it kept telling us to sub him when there are no subs! So we got disqualified... some of the physics are really stupid- it's like the chuckle brothers on the pitch with players falling over themselves, when the ball goes out of play the player that retrieves the ball is no longer the player that's taking the throw so it's confusing when the screen changes, when people shoot now the camera does this weird power up arcade style zoom in that feels so cheesy and takes you out of the realism, even starting the game was a UX nightmare that made no sense, I can't believe you still can't import your pro face from the previous FIFA, keepers still boot the ball out of play when you pull them out and when they have all the time to pick a pass. All EA care about is looting children on ultimate team instead of making actual decent improvements to the game..Worst football game I've ever played.

This fifa is better than previous ones. I mean come on people have to accept if they buy it every year there is not gonna be drastic improvement. My main reason for loving this one is the amount of tournaments added in comparison to previous installments.

I love the WSL and have patiently waited for this to be featured in the games. Then much to my surprise we also get to enjoy the women's champions league. If you are playing this on the new generation consoles then you'll happily see the enhanced graphics. The women look fantastic now and the hair is amazing. They are closely resembling the players much like the men do.

Finally fifa is giving the women's game just as much respect as the mens. I love playing both as men and women it seems so much more versatile now. The corners and free kicks seem difficult to master, yet the penalties so right for once, a much improved penalty shoot out.

This is apparently the last to be called fifa and believe me it went out on a high.

It's the same game every year dude, the only changes are it gets slightly more buggy and bad. Don't waste your money just play FIFA 15 that was the last time the game improved at all. Anyway 100 characters are required so imma just write 300 words then copy paste the whole thing again. In summary, bad game, dont buy.

So I've played it for 3 months now, I've loved this game since it arrived on the mega drive in 1994. FUT is such a great concept but unfortunately I think it's now just a money maker. I've played up the divisions and get completely deflated at the poor rewards, it seems to encourage people to part with their money more than play the game for rewards.

The game play doesn't add up most players will experience the after goal equaliser that just boils your blood.

If a rare player appears in your pack 4 times in a row and it's usually a slow defender or GK does that really make them rare????

It's clear that you need to spend money to get the best players in this game, which in my opinion isn't what the game should be about.

Do waste your time or money on this game!

If you haven't purchased FIFA 23 yet, do not bother. Stick with the older edition you might already have because it will be miles better than the latest.

Playing against the AI is just ridiculous. Playing the worst sides in career mode is ghastly. The worst players and sides in a league turn into Messi and Real Madrid all of a sudden. The team can be on the bottom of the table prior to the match, but start passing the ball like Manchester City and score worldies like Ronaldo when you play against them.

It is SO unrealistic.

I just had my striker sprint towards the middle of the pitch, when I had the ball with a winger, right on the penalty spot. I nearly tapped X to pass it the striker, but rather than either remain stationery or move into a better position (which is typically what happened on every other edition of FIFA in the past), he turned away from goal and sprinted towards the other end of the pitch.

I've had dozens of other similar instances, but I cannot be bothered mentioning them.

I now understand why EA have decided to make FIFA 23 the final release of this once great game. They can no longer make a good football game that is fair and balanced.

I will say though, the music is pretty good this time around. Of course there's some stuff I don't like, but most of the tracks are easy listening and some are excellent.
