FIFA 23 Reviews
FIFA 23 is the same as it has always been.
FIFA 23 brings some great gameplay changes, but the sins of its predecessors still drag the game down.
FIFA 23 makes incremental improvements to last year's game, but the looming presence of Ultimate Team's microtransactions cast a shadow over everything.
FIFA 23’s slick and dramatic virtual football is fitting for the series’ last hurrah under its long-time name, but familiar frustrations abound, and it still greatly undervalues some of its most beloved modes.
FIFA 23 is the final entry of this footballing franchise under its current iconic name, and it's not really one to remember. While the gameplay continues to strive forward, most of the other new features are rather undercooked and the overall package lacks a bit of polish.
There’s a famous saying from former footballer Gary Lineker that “football is a simple game – 22 men chase a ball for 90 minutes – and at the end, the Germans always win.” I want to make a similar assessment of EA’s yearly soccer game: FIFA 23 is a good game – it’s flashy, fun to play, and has a lot of modes – but in the end, you realize it’s mostly the same game you’ve been playing for years.
For football purists, it’s overall a great experience considering the general flow of the game, while others looking for that specific arcade feel might not be as impressed.
I can safely say that ground is suitable for playing football in FIFA 23's current state. However if we know EA they'll definitely change the game drastically to reshape FUT and I'm not sure if we'll like all those changes. That being said, FIFA 23 is your best option to satiate your hunger while the World Cup is approaching.

FIFA 23 marks an end of an era. Fittingly, its synthesis of everything good and bad that the franchise had, especially in the last years. It is not at all a breakthrough sports game that will mark a before and after in history, but it is not a disaster either. FIFA 23 lives calmly in the mediocrity that EA made a standard.

FIFA 23 shows that EA still knows how to make a good football game that should please the fans. It may not be a perfect goodbye to the series - gameplay has its issues and the game’s strong “TikTok vibe” can worry a bit, but there’s no denying that it definitely is a good game.

FIFA 23 is the best FIFA game that you can play right now. But unless you’re an Ultimate Team diehard, FIFA 23 might not do enough to convince you to upgrade from the mechanically similar FIFA 22.
There is less to dislike with FIFA 23 than there was with last year’s game, but I also wasn’t blown away with the advancements in several features such as career/franchise mode or the visuals. While it’s technically a better game than FIFA 22, it may not seem like it to those who don’t spend most of their time in FUT or VOLTA. Color me satisfied, but not overwhelmed.
Despite quite a lot of changes, FIFA23 somehow feels much the same to its previous title. However, As the final title that uses the name of FIFA, the game seems like a stepping stone, preparing for the next bright future. By the way, training center for those who are not used to this genre was quite impressive.

FIFA 23 says goodbye to the name in its best form in recent years. It's not brilliant, but it is uncomplicatedly the best soccer game you will find this year in all aspects: gameplay, graphics, game modes, and above all fun.

FIFA 23 is one of those entries in this series that, in fact, improves several aspects and meets some criticisms or requests from fans. The career mode is more customizable than ever and introduces some important additions, and the expansion of women's football modes is a great step forward for the game. What's more, the fact that we now have a really fun set-piece system and that the new animations make every game moment more realistic and exciting, deserve all the praise. I just can't say that this title enters the top of the best simulators for the insistence of errors and unresolved problems, and for the fact that its most popular mode continues to be incredibly unbalanced and uncontrolled. But if you are fans of the king's sport, you have one of the most solid offerings of recent years here, which is presented as a great goal at the end of the curtain.

In the last title with the famous name, EA Sports FIFA 23 brought good news and kept its greatest qualities. For example, the FUT mode is still addictive, the gameplay now has a better balance between cadence and speed, and we have many ways to play football. There are still issues, such as visually and mechanically, but they don't compromise the overall experience. It remains to be in the crowd so that the next title continues to reinforce and improve the squad and, who knows, be considered a true champion.

If 'FIFA 23' is the last image that we will take from a mythical saga that has reigned over the video game industry for more than 30 years, there is nothing more just and poetic than closing its "last dance" in style with a work that exceeds all expectations and sets a new standard for how the titles of the ninth generation of consoles should look, feel and play.

FIFA 23 is good old FIFA with a lot of little tweaks that will surely appeal to a section of fans. If you've skipped a year or two or have a new console, the differences are noticeable. For others, there are some good things.

All in all, then, while not a revolution, EA hasn’t rested on its laurels when it comes to FIFA 23. From meaningful tweaks and additions to modes, to a noticeably improved on-pitch experience, it’s simply bigger and better than its predecessors in every single way. And so the FIFA series, at least with EA at the helm, is going out with a bang rather than a whimper. But if EA Sports FC is to truly impress, it’s going to have to deliver something fresh.
FIFA 23 keeps the series tradition, with extremely fun gameplay, good improvements in comparison to last year, beautiful graphics and rich game modes that will keep you entertained for hours and hours. It may not the most accurate football simulator on the market, but it is so far ahead its competition that, if you are a soccer fan, this is the game for you.
