FIFA 22 is the improvement that many fans have been waiting for. Shifting the focus away from pace, the game has managed to achieve a new level of realism. Due to HyperMotion Technology, players act and move intelligently, increasing strategic possibilities in offensive and defensive scenarios. With a litany of tweaks and refinements, FIFA 22 is the best iteration of the sport in the franchise.

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.

‎I am very happy with this new installment. FIFA 22 introduces us to the biggest gameplay change for years to bring more realism to a game mode that although it does not need it, if it brings it closer to the sport from which it is nourished. Whether the changes are positive or negative will also help the time and opinion that is formed throughout the season. But that we have to learn again to play and to look for ingenuity and strategies with which to succeed again in the game modes I see something positive.‎

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.

The EA Sports revolution comes to life in FIFA 22 for next gen, but in our opinion we are facing a starting point and certainly not a goal for Canadian football. The novelties guaranteed by Hypermotion Technology, a real pillar of this year's offer, give the scenic impact and gameplay a realism that is unprecedented for the series.

FIFA 22 is just like any other FIFA game. It’s a very, very good football game, and with NBA 2K taking its eyes off the prize in favour of the State Farm drip, it’s left with a tap-in to be 2021’s best sports sim. HyperMotion makes a difference, create-a-club adds some personality, and everything else is the same. What more were you expecting?

FIFA 22 is the best in the series to date, even if its revamped animation isn't as revolutionary as billed. As a standalone title it's fantastic, even though avid players will likely feel that changes are negligible compared to last year.

After years of big promises, FIFA 22 takes all the things the series does right and even more to the table. It's the best FIFA in years.

FIFA 22 is a break from tradition in several ways for EA Sports as it leans heavily on the more realistic approach. Whether this move will satisfy their core audience or cause a backlash remains to be seen. But the fact remains that EA Sports are running out of ideas in delivering an annual title that is worth spending on.

On the pitch, FIFA 22 is the best the series has ever been, but offline modes have again been neglected in favor of FIFA Ultimate Team.

Microtransactions still loom large, but small iterative changes and the horsepower of new-gen consoles combine to make FIFA 22 feel like a worthwhile upgrade without needing anything revolutionary or terribly exciting from EA's side.

FIFA 22 incorporates enough novelties in its game system to vary the rhythm of the matches and improve the experience. A great simulator, punctuated by the importance of microtransactions and the absence of major developments in its different modalities.

FIFA 22 brings significant and substantial improvements to the most important fundamentals of the game, response, ball physics, animation, and artificial intelligence improvements, all of which contribute to a smooth and enjoyable experience.

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 is either the leap into a new generation, depending on the version, more or less of the same ... or the annual impudence.

FIFA 22 excels on the pitch with a patient and more methodical style, but additions elsewhere are only incremental and microtransactions still leave a bad taste.

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 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.
