FIFA 22 Reviews
There aren't many notable changes in FIFA 22. My Career is still the most dynamic mode, and that's not saying much
Solid gameplay improvements overshadowed by the fact EA Sports still hasn't tackled FUT's loot box problem.
Combined with the new animation work, linking a few passes together to score a beautiful goal feels (and looks) fantastic.
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.

FIFA 22 improves things where it's needed and is the first actual next-gen FIFA.

FIFA 22 presents itself at the kick-off of the season with a renewed edition, with the much-heralded Hypermotion Technology playing the role of the protagonist. On a technical level, the (numerous) new animations shine above all, while the game structure is partly detached from what has been seen in the past, proposing slightly slower games and with a lower incidence of skills. An interesting choice, which overall works quite well even with some calibration problems (on all goalkeepers) that we hope will be solved as soon as possible through patches.

FIFA 22 feels like real football, and it's all the better for it. Impressive improvements to player positioning, ball physics, and animations make for a supremely satisfying simulation that underpins each of the franchise's flagship modes. Career Mode doesn't reinvent the wheel, but the ability to create a club is entertaining, and the changes to Player Careers are overdue. Microtransactions still rule supreme in Ultimate Team, and you'll already have your own personal opinions on that, but there's so much to do in this year's release that you could easily invest hundreds of hours into it without seeing a single loot box.
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.
FIFA 22 offers a lot of new elements on next-gen. Gameplay is finally going in a clear direction and provides a clear picture of what to expect from this iteration of FIFA. Even though the gameplay finally seems fine, there are quite a few problems. Career is near unplayable thanks to loads of bugs and glitches, Ultimate Team is still a pay-to-win fest and a lot of modes are clearly less important than cash cow Ultimate Team, which is understandable, but still frustrating.

FIFA 22 features tons of big changes in every element of gameplay, making this year's iteration the best version seen to date.
FIFA 22 is the most interesting and deep entry in the series from years to date, thanks to its new physics, AI and level of details. FIFA 22 gives players a game finally balanced, where defenders have the same power of attackers. The spectacular and televised identity of the franchise, though, is always the same, but this comes as a silent revolution which, if not muted after a couple of match in the name of metagame and pro gaming, it could be a great start for the future.

As a football game, FIFA 22 is very continuist. It doesn't offer anything spectacular or revolutionary in order to make you stand up from your seat, but it takes profit of its previous knowledge to provide some nice matches.

The team left no stone unturned for FIFA 22 and went all out in making a supremely-improved football game.
A superb second next-gen season on the digital turf – but subtle Ultimate Team tweaks amplify the 'pay to win' criticisms that stalk this series annually.
On the whole, though, the value for money here is ludicrous and every mode provides a different slice of footballing simulation goodness. Beyond all that, though: FIFA 22 is just a fun time. The game will change with patches eventually, but right now, it is the best at launch that FIFA has been in a long, long time. It leaves you with a smile at every small touch and with a satisfied feeling and you ping a cross-field ball. FIFA has finally brought it home.
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.

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 probably the most realistic, most immersive and best looking FIFA game ever, but there's also a feeling that with the right tweaks here and there, it could and should be a lot better.
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.
