FIFA 22 Reviews
FIFA 22 provided a quantum leap in realism in crowd interaction and goalkeeper reactions thanks to HYPERMOTION technology, a great development in the series, especially in the Volta and Pro Clubs provided extra fun for the player, but with impractical menus and many technical errors that make the experience incomplete

If you're playing on current-gen systems, FIFA 22 may be a bit of a harder sell. The game itself is largely the same as last year, It's the next-gen graphics and gameplay that really make the game stand out. On next-gen, it's a must for longtime FIFA players. For everyone else, it's more of a personal choice. You certainly won't be missing out on much if you wait a little while.
FIFA 22 brings a smidgen of interesting additions to the series, although a few of them recoil – for lack of a better word – upon closer examination. Manager mode is relatively the same, Ultimate Team still heavily prioritises micro-transactions and Volta Football only edges slightly closer to the glory days of FIFA Street. A decent entry overall.
For now, the improvements to Career mode and commentary, the incredible visuals and all the new animations and gameplay flow, FIFA 22 has a refreshing feel to it.
Refreshed and revised, FIFA 22 offers something new. Not everyone will be able to experience it, but with the right equipment you will be satisfied.

FIFA 22 is a further leap towards realism in football titles. The inclusion of Hypermotion not only enhances the staging of the game, but also translates to the field. In addition, the improvements in the physics of the ball and the additions in the different game modes make FIFA 22 a more satisfactory delivery than the previous title of the saga.

FIFA 22 remains a good FIFA and a good football game. It has its usual attempts at improvement and tweaking, but it remains more of a festive presentation of the sport than a collective experience as a whole.

FIFA 22 has provided an improved style of play experience with additions to all the gameplay, but we are still waiting for bolder steps from EA to the integrated experience of the football world.

FIFA 22 could be a new beginning for the series thanks to a better football sensation. The gameplay is smooth, slower and fun. Sadly, many of its mode still lack that extra edge to feel different to FIFA 21.

We're pleasantly surprised by FIFA 22 on Xbox Series X. The franchise had a good first outing on next-gen consoles last year, but the gameplay has really been taken up a notch this time around, seemingly proving that "Hypermotion Technology" isn't just another throwaway buzzword. It's not perfect, and there are certain areas off the pitch that we wish could have received even more attention, but this is the best FIFA has been in quite a few years, and we just hope it isn't ruined by unnecessary gameplay patches down the line.
It feels strange saying this, but FIFA 22 is a sports game made with love, whose developers have obviously rediscovered the joy behind how a football sim should behave. The changes to gameplay and graphics, and the evolutions of established modes, give it the largest scope yet for a football sim - perhaps any sports game, ever. And it pays off. FIFA 22 is the most streamlined, self-aware and ultimately enjoyable FIFA title in years and makes a strong case for being its altogether best entry. It's just about the shakeup that the fans have been asking for for a long time, and it's a pleasure to say it's well worth playing for the next year.
FIFA 22 has some nice things, and the addition of HyperMotion shows where the series is going. But, for now, there’s a lot that needs to be built on moving forward.
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.

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 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.
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 may not be the revolutionary and unique version we expected, but it does come with positive changes and additions.

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.
Combined with the new animation work, linking a few passes together to score a beautiful goal feels (and looks) fantastic.
