FIFA 22 Reviews
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.
FIFA 22 takes steps forward, while staring at the past

FIFA 22 may not be the revolutionary and unique version we expected, but it does come with positive changes and additions.

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 is an undeniably fantastic football game, once you get on the pitch. HyperMotion Technology, and a push for enhanced visuals, physics, and more, make this an incredibly tactical experience and closer to the real thing than ever before. The inevitable problem is when you look at the insidious inclusions off the pitch, such as FUT, which - while somewhat more generous with the in-game currency - is still incredibly predatory and push on the in-game gambling mechanics.
This year the winner for best football game is easily won by EA’s Fifa 22. HyperMotion is a true positive difference that makes the game so much more fluid and realistic.
It feels like the EA Vancouver team has done a job to strengthen the immersion. The "Hypermotion" technology brings that much desired extra realism and authenticity, the gatekeepers are finally credible and the ball physics is more advanced. However, FIFA 22 is not the expected revolution, especially because the new features have little influence on the gameplay.

As always, new FIFA game tries to fix the problems of its predecessors, while making the necessary updates to the core gameplay, in this case, turning FIFA 22 into more methodical and realistic game.

Despite having had a greater evolution than its predecessors, once again EA releases a game that could have been a major update from the previous year, raising again the question about the annual release of such a title. The few changes in game modes do not justify the upgrade for those who play the predecessor title, mainly due to the hefty price. So, wait a few months until the value drops to play with the updated squad.

If you’re a fan, you have probably already picked it up—but if you’re someone who has missed the past few entries and wants a sports title to use on your beefy next-gen console, this is a difficult one not to recommend.
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.
Despite its noticeable faults, FIFA 22 is still a decent installment in the series. It offers players fun gameplay and an excellent visual experience to football lovers.
Overall, FIFA 22 is the best new entry in recent years. But the nefarious gutting of play-to-win rewards in its most popular mode means that the shadow of pay-to-win microtransactions looms ever more over FIFA's latest entry.
Fifa 22 raises the bar compared to its predecessor, getting very close to what all players are looking for in a football simulator: a fluid and realistic experience. It also brings new game modes and a greatter implementation of the female gender, bringging to the game a more diverse and representative experience. We certainly recommend FIFA 22 not only to fans, but to anyone looking for a new experience in this genre.

Wonderful and distasteful all at once, it entertains and fails in turns, like Frank Worthington. But I loved watching Frankie.
FIFA 22 introduces welcome new features such as the Hypermotion technology, a more balanced gameplay and improvements in several modes, but it fails to get rid of some historical flaws that now clash more with the improvements received. The result is, as always, a football title of the highest caliber, both on the technical front and in terms of pure fun, but we start to feel the need for a more marked change of pace to really push the saga into the new generation.

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.
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.
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.
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.
