This lets you pump in the typically dazzling soundtrack, with FIFA 23 Coins Bad Bunny bangers and underground Earworms from DOSS or Cryalot. There's something about squeezing in a Bruno Guimar?es assist as you listen to the pumping German Drill that makes grinding out a lousy Career Mode season much more appealing.

Beyond the immediate gameplay, FIFA 23 predictably focuses its modifications on the feature that earns EA more money. The microtransaction-ridden Ultimate Team is flush with additions, but Career Mode and Volta Football barely get a look-in, which says much about EA's long-standing attitude to these modes, especially in this supposedly ornamental final FIFA-branded entry.

It's the same problem we've got regarding Madden NFL 23 and NBA 2K23: despite how we hate the way they alter the field of play in favor of whoever pays the most, so many players are playing and investing in it that EA simply keeps increasing the number of players on it, instead of the fair and balanced options we've come to love more.

FIFA 22 promises the next generation of virtual football and , while it's not re-inventing the ball, the attacking and defending gameplay is now fluid from moment to moment. The occasional blunders in goalkeeping and inconsistencies with the visual aside the fact that this year's FIFA remains one of the most refined and enjoyable multiplayer sports games available on the market. And, recent additions across Career Mode and Volta Football have made FIFA's major modes more fun to play.

Microtransactions continue to be a huge issue yet small tweaks and the power of modern-gen consoles combine to make FIFA 22 feel like a worthy upgrade, without needing any groundbreaking or exciting features on the part of EA. -- Jordan Oloman, September 27 2021

Player Career offers a fresh personality system which lets you, in most dramatic air quotes, pretend to be your favorite footballer. For me, this was equivalent to receiving 25 "Maverick Points to purchase a 'High-end Hybrid Mattress' for a Serbian striker in the K-League as well, so you could imagine the time I spent with the system.

You can now choose a real coach (or Ted Lasso, however real you think he might have been) in Manager Career. a Manager Career however, other than playing as a muted Jason Sudekis, or dress Eddie Howe in a lovely sweater vest, there's nothing else to do except watch the ridiculous cutscenes. The time invested in making the decision to import AFC Richmond for its brief novelty would have be used for, for example, implementing Women's Club Football into Career Mode and FIFA 23 Coins for sale yet it's not available. This is unfortunate because the women's game is such an impressive example of the efficacy of EA's HyperMotion motion-capture technology, offering authentic motion-capture animations that ramp up the immersive tension.
