FIFA 22 Reviews
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.

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 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.
Even when FIFA 22 doesn't really offer a great jump for the series, fans will get the usual whole package with lots of small steps into the right direction. The new HyperMotion technology and the option to create and manage your own club in the career stay the only real highlights.

EA Sports delivered a good football game that mostly advances things in the realism front, showing of what we can expect from the series in the current gen platforms moving forward.

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.

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.

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.

FIFA 22 does have some room for improvement, but by and large, this wasn’t a bad start for EA and the FIFA development team.
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.

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 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.
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.
