We're pleasantly surprised by FIFA 22 on Xbox Series X. The franchise had a good first outing on next-gen consoles last year, but the gameplay has really been taken up a notch this time around, seemingly proving that "Hypermotion Technology" isn't just another throwaway buzzword. It's not perfect, and there are certain areas off the pitch that we wish could have received even more attention, but this is the best FIFA has been in quite a few years, and we just hope it isn't ruined by unnecessary gameplay patches down the line.
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 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 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.

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 takes steps forward, while staring at the past

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

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.
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 could be a new beginning for the series thanks to a better football sensation. The gameplay is smooth, slower and fun. Sadly, many of its mode still lack that extra edge to feel different to FIFA 21.

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 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.

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