FIFA 22 Review

FIFA 22 reviewed by Jordan Oloman on PlayStation 5. Also available on Xbox, PC, Switch, and Stadia.

FIFA 22 heralds the next generation of virtual football, and while it doesn't reinvent the ball, the attacking and defending gameplay gains moment-to-moment fluidity. Goalkeeping blunders and visual inconsistencies aside, this year's FIFA is still one of the most nuanced and enjoyable multiplayer sports games on the market, and new additions across Career Mode and Volta Football have made FIFA's major modes more fun to play. 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.

At this point people should understand this game is literally just a yearly subscription

[dazzaMusic]

“It’s makes you feel like your playing the same game each year” IGN 7/10

[monstermarc]

if everyone stopped buying this game every single year, they would have no choice but to make improvements to the game

[kristoferjefferson]

Imagine an Indie company putting out a near identical game at full price each year. They would not be getting 7/10s....

[del.see.oh.]

They could make the ball green and people would still buy it.

"Small changes. The same sports game. 7/10"

- IGN It blows my mind how you guys say the exact same things every year/review and still will give these games a 7 with a straight face

Edit: Some of you in this thread are proving why they get away this.

[robotroboti]

"It makes you wonder, who's REALLY being kicked around....the ball or us?" 7/10

[setokaiba]

Ea: Get on your knees
IGN: Yes master.

[_AIAH_]

The lack of competition has lead us down the path of mediocrity

[raselpathan]

IGN: “It’s pretty much same as FIFA 21”.
Also IGN: “7/10”

[fringeboi]

"When you kick the ball it moves" 10/10

What they should do is just bring out one game and update it with updated squads new players and keep working on it throughout the season for around 2-3 years then bring out a new one with new graphics gameplay tweaks new modes arcade stuff etc would be so much better

[nancygonzalezgarcia]

It’s the same game from the past 30 years with a new player and number on the cover, so it’s the best in the series
— Roger Ebert, IGN

Just make a game called "Fifa Forever" update it once a year DLC £20 for new kits and updated squad.
Few tweaks here and there on free updates.

[ovrdos]

IGN: "An entire casino of gambling mechanics aimed at children. 7/10".

“It really makes you feel like a soccer ball” -IGN

[ktynn]

They simply ignore the fact that PC is getting old gen versions and misses out on those 4000 new animations. Wow.

[haroldinho]

Going from fifa 18 to fifa 22 is so amazing. It took a while to get used to all the different things.

[kh]

An American calling the game by its real name 'football'.

You sir, have earned my respect.

[hotcrossbread]

Idk why they don’t just say “if you liked the last fifa you will like this” and then recycle its score 💀
