FIFA 23

I've been playing this game since FIFA 09, and up until FIFA 12, I felt like there was progress and creativity being pit into the game. Although I already was prepared to be disappointed, I didn't expect it to be as bad as it is at the moment. First off, it is very clear the EA has abandoned all game modes except for Ultimate Team. Pro clubs somehow feels worse than FIFA 22; all of the things that the FIFA community asked to be included in Career Mode are of course absent from the game, and even Ultimate Team is 99% the same as the past few years. The only difference I saw this year was some of the tactic options, and minor details within the gameplay such as set pieces. Aside from that, its the same old disappointing game we have had the pleasure of playing for the past decade. Hopefully, with FIFA 23 being the last FIFA that will be produced by EA, we may be able to have a little hope for the future, but my expectations remain low.

FIFA 23 gameplay sucks, its too slow, dribbling is bad, keepers are weird, the graphics are bad, only shooting is a little bit good, but FIFA 21 & 22 had way better gameplay then this crap, i hope the content will be good, career mode is the same as FIFA 22, nothing changed and its boring, pro clubs is the worst game mode in FIFA 22, Everyone is not waiting for days, and not for months, and not for 1 year, and not for 2 years, and not for 3 years but literally for 5 years to waiting for crossplay in pro clubs. Volta is fun, actually it was Every FIFA fun, if you play it for the fun its actually great, but i still don't like FIFA 23, i think its the worst FIFA, but maybe if the content Will be awesome i think second worst.

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.

Almost unplayable on pc, can't change many video settings and not even the fps limiters work. Game feels super sluggish and just makes me really happy that I didn't spent any money on this sad excuse for a game.

The fans make fun of EA for releasing the same game every year, but somehow this is much worse than FIFA 22.

The 70$ pricetag is ridiculous for all the microtransactions this game has... Incredible how greedy a company can get. And even if you spend money on it, the next FIFA comes out in a year and you have to start over again.

Please don't pre-order games, always wait for reviews!

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.
