Instead I advise building competitive squads around the other big leagues, at a fraction of the all-EPL cost. I’ve muttered ‘what a ball’ more than ever this year, most often after spotting one of my wingers in space and switching it with a dreamy late lob across the pitch that leads to a dazzling equaliser. The latter alone is a brilliant time sink, with 80 designs to pick from, made by authentic manufacturers: Nike, Adidas, Umbro, Puma, Hummel, and New Balance. Traits are divided into four different categories: Standard traits, CPU AI traits, Career Mode traits, and VOLTA Football traits.

Now, with the release of FIFA 23, we’ve moved on to the final few phases: our sadness has turned to acceptance, and we’re now at peace with the fact.

Players still clatter into each other and fuse into well-paid Cronenberg monsters, making the ball’s trajectory anyone’s guess, but it’s a rare occasion this time around. However, the Career Mode upgrade that I appreciated most was a simple quality-of-life tweak that lets you bypass Training Days and simulate them at the highest rank you’ve previously achieved, which cuts out a lot of the menu monotony.

FIFA 22 received "generally favorable" reviews for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC versions of the game, according to review aggregator Metacritic. Whilst these goalkeeper controls and techniques will require some practice, they can be very effective in-game and can help to take your overall game to the next level.Bayern Munich and Barcelona are also featured in the game with licensed players and kits, but do not have their stadium licenses and thus play in generic stadiums. This may sound like brain-numbing marketing jargon, but it actually results in tangible improvements on the pitch. The tournaments are held exclusively on PlayStation 5 where players participate in teams of one or two for in-game rewards and cash prizes.

FIFA 22 Legacy Edition (Switch) Review - IGN

And it’s why, if you were to take the Switch version of FIFA 19 and put it side-by-side next to FIFA 23 on Switch, with the exception of kits, rosters, menu images, and the soundtrack you are essentially playing exactly the same game four years down the line with no changes whatsoever to any of the gameplay mechanics or game modes. Dr_Luigi Konami could have the Switch football market to itself if it released a version of PES on it. Attacking is fun and fluid, defending is a real challenge and an art to master, but goalkeeping leaves a lot to be desired and the AI is inconsistent in several ways. I sincerely hope it fails this time, but I know it'll substantially sell in Europe because of football fans being blind to quality and treating this as merchandise more than anything. Others would say that, hey, at least EA actually released something, unlike Konami who won’t even bring its new eFootball game to the Switch, even though it’s on mobile (not that we’re missing out there, of course, but it’s the principle of the thing).The Career mode is now so prehistoric they could probably extract DNA from it and clone a raptor, while everything else has been left untouched for so many years we’re surprised EA didn’t add ‘dusty’ to its list of weather options. Indeed, the sole new feature present in the Switch version of FIFA 23 is presumably only in there because it involves the least amount of effort. Please note that this will also affect the functionality of mod managers - downloads, updates, endorsements etc. Take a look for yourself, then consider building your own for that league, or the Bundesliga (which is particularly great for bargain defenders).
