PS4 version
Ok let’s start with the good points - there aren’t any! That was quick, unlike the game which has a sluggish feel to it in Seasons / Cup mode.
Volta football is pathetic now. Where you had a league in Volta Squads you now have a mad scramble of egoistic people running around like headless chickens with one aim and that is to score, forget about passing the ball. Kicking a ball against a wall to gain a point against four others is not really what football is about which is what you do in the arcade mode.
Pro clubs was always good. It is now slow to load because it searches for games that will allow you to play in your position. Don’t care in what position I play in as long as I get a game quickly without having to wait for ages. Haven’t got time for this EA! I said at the beginning there were no good points; sorry there is one in Pro clubs. When you make a good move, up pops a message in the top right saying , ‘ good pass ‘, etc. Nice touch EA. A minor, but good addition.
The Seasons / Cup mode has gone horribly wrong. The pitches are too light in colour and the game has an arcade feel to it. FIFA 21 pitches were rich and smooth. As I have read in articles on here and experienced myself, passing is non existent. Every time I press the pass button hard the ball goes a couple of yards. So having played nearly ten games in Division 10 I’ve won one game where as I was up to division 6 and winning a fair amount of games.
To be honest, FIFA 22 is so bad I’ve gone back to FIFA 21 which is far better.
I have to ask EA, are you just modifying the game knowing that a new customer will appear who will think it’s fantastic without considering the people who buy this title year in year out?
Rip off comes to mind.
