FIFA 22 Reviews
FIFA 22 marks the third time EA has given us FIFA 19 with a different shirt on. It may clearly state Legacy Edition on the title, but being kicked in the groin isn't any less painful if your assailant tells you they're going to do it in advance. Once again, EA has insulted Switch owners by giving them the version it usually releases on dead systems. Do not accept it.
All adds up to is FIFA 22 being the best it has been in years. Certainly in the Frostbite era. Changes to modes are oftentimes minimal, but at this point, it really is hard to knock a game that offers more modes than almost any other game on the market. Instead this year, EA has focused on what matters most – the gameplay. Subtle changes and additions all over the place have resulted in the number one sports game in the world finally, once again, feeling like a true representation of the sport.
FIFA 22 has achieved a successful acceleration with its HyperMotion feature and new dynamics. But despite all these innovations, it can barely get rid of the "same game" feeling.

FIFA 22 paves the way for a new generation of more realistic and intelligent FIFA games thanks to Hypermotion technology, but its content remains refined with a focus on Ultimate competitions rather than any other playing phase.
FIFA 22 does not reinvent football by simulation nor does it pretend to. With a new approach in which matches are slower and require more passing than dribbling, he seeks to shift the formula towards something less arcade and more realistic. The many game modes will suit any lover of the beautiful game, something that is appreciated, since they have not neglected the offline modes of the online modes, much more lucrative for EA. With something to polish the gameplay and a renewed Career Mode, more similar to the Master League, this is a very satisfactory title for all the fans. Or at least for those who were shocked at how arcade it had become. The only downside, as always, the burden of micropayments, which seems an endemic evil in the industry and which FIFA makes cash, as every year.

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

In FIFA 22 we will enjoy as much or more than in FIFA 21, with improvements in the quality of life of some titles, with updated rosters, with the Ultimate Team completely redesigned and if you are a football fan, you will have hours and hours of game modes in which to score one and a thousand goals. Although the improvements seem insufficient to go from last year's installment to this one, we will see that they have been enough to give a more than realistic football, improving the golden formula and making FIFA the best football game one more year.

I’ve been impressed by my time with FIFA 22 thus far, with it shaping up to be one of the tightest entries in the series so far. While it doesn’t offer a great deal in terms of new modes, the improvements made to existing staples of the series such as Ultimate Team, Pro Clubs, and Volta are all welcome, helping to diversify current modes and make them much more distinguishable. We’ll have our full review soon.
FIFA 22 adds some big improvements to the way the game functions, and better yet, makes the game feel even better as you play. Add to that some big changes to modes like Career Mode, and FIFA 22 is a huge improvement from past entries.
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.

EA Sports has delivered a strong next-gen experience with FIFA 22. The primary focus was on gameplay and the attention led to a tangible improvement overall. However, the feature set is still in need of more layers.
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.

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'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 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 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.

Wonderful and distasteful all at once, it entertains and fails in turns, like Frank Worthington. But I loved watching Frankie.
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.

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.
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.
