FIFA 22 Reviews
Doing better than FIFA 21 was inevitable for FIFA 22. And the task was pretty busy, between a pleasant interface to handle, an ever more addictive Ultimate Team mode and a more defensive gameplay, this time. But some defects persist, others have emerged and overall, the container remains the same from one year to the next. If EA has made the choice to reform the form this season, and under the condition that the patches improve and do not destroy what has been put in place, it will be necessary for the developer to urgently look at the background, which purrs and would need to be fleshed out.

For those who haven't picked up a FIFA title in a few years, however, this is certainly the best time to jump back into the franchise, with a skew towards offensive soccer minds that will no doubt result in quicker pacing, attractive games, and a strong pick-up-and-play appeal for those just looking to play some soccer here and there.
FIFA 22 is a clear step forward in the franchise, thanks mainly to the arrival of much-needed changes. It still misses a generational leap, but it is undoubtedly a great football game.

While not the breath of fresh air many hoped for, FIFA 22 manages to at least improve the experience of FIFA 21. Ultimate Team still has its intrinsic issues, but manages to make itself more appealing thanks to less-infuriating gameplay and a less-punishing Division Rivals system.
If you've been avoiding FIFA for a long time, this edition is a great opportunity to change that and play some matches on virtual stadiums. If you're a regular, on the other hand, you're probably playing as we speak, but this time, you're probably fully satisfied. Right?

FIFA 22 offers a slower, more deliberate game of football on the pitch, and that's a good thing. But with minimal investment in new modes or updates to existing ones, this is a good upgrade, rather than an essential one.
FIFA 22 is the best FIFA game in years. HyperMotion pushes the action along, with a renewed focus on Career Mode more than welcome. It's a more refined, well-developed package this time around, and I'm excited to see where the series is headed in the future.
It is hard to recommend buying FIFA at all this year. Like no other yearly release in the franchise, FIFA 22 is a game of thin margins.
As the sum of its parts, FIFA 22 is the best FIFA in years…and plays a strong game of football on the PS5. The decision to go more sim-heavy is long overdue, with finally a befitting pace and defensive posture to the beautiful game. Online contests – even with exploits via microtransaction supercharged players – are much more balanced. There's so much to do both online and offline, it's an easy recommendation for both casual and committed football fanatics.
FIFA 22 has improved the smoothness of its feel and movement compared to its predecessor, but there have been few changes in mode and play.

FIFA 22 makes some important changes on and off the pitch, and though there's still plenty of room for improvement, it's still the series' best game in recent years.
FIFA 22 will no doubt change over the course of the next couple months by way of patches stemming from community feedback, but if you're looking for a solid soccer title to scratch your footy itch then FIFA 22 is your game. There are plenty of modes to enjoy, online is solid as ever, and the gameplay is finally good enough to propose a rewarding challenge thanks in large part to the attacking/defending balance.
FIFA 22 improves things where it's needed and is the first actual next-gen FIFA.

Combined with the new animation work, linking a few passes together to score a beautiful goal feels (and looks) fantastic.
But even if EA does get its head out of the pile of gold, it's got troubles on the pitch too. FIFA doesn't feel like football anymore to me. To be fair, it never really was — thanks to pitch size, pace dominance, and all that — but now it just seems to be going away from the sport it claims to represent each year. Maybe a new challenger can shake things up. We badly need it.
FIFA 22 may not be the revolutionary and unique version we expected, but it does come with positive changes and additions.

Despite a full year since the launch of the new console generation, FIFA 22 doesn't offer anything groundbreaking, on or off the pitch. The changes are largely minor and exclusive features are not worth fretting over. It plays a solid game of football, as always, but we're still left waiting for a true next-gen leap.
FIFA 22 is undoubtedly a step forward for the franchise, and the new Hypermotion engine on new-gen consoles is totally worth it, though it’s pretty clear it’s not everybody’s cup of tea.
FIFA 22 on nextgen is the the most realistic and fun FIFA game in years, but it still has some flaws in its (lack of new and interesting) content.

FIFA 22 offers the closest experience to football among recent versions of this simulator series, while also providing the excitement expected from a video game.
