I honestly think this is the best fifa for about 3/4 years. The gameplay is slightly slower than last year and player movements aren't as erratic giving the game a little bit more of a realistic feel. Goalkeepers are actually making saves that they should be and making a string of saves in a row. People complaining about goalkeepers are OP but I find it makes the game more interesting and if you're playing Premier League football, you expect a keeper to save a fair amount of shots and not concede 4/5 goals every game which is a problem I detested in fifa 21. I 've also noticed that passing has a more realistic note to it. Rather than have every pass going to target there's more of a highlight towards the players attributes aswell, for example in fifa 21, you could pretty much long ball with any player with any long ball stat and hit your target 8 times out of 10 where as now the long ball attribute will play a big part in just how often and how accurate the pass will be. Defending has definitely improved, tackles are more realistically executed and also players throwing themselves in front of shots is also alot more common which is something that was lacking in fifa 21. Impulsive interceptions are more common rather than letting the ball roll past a yard ahead of the player they actually actively try and sometimes succeed in intercepting. The create a club mode is a nice touch, reminds me of PES and its something that I've always wanted put into a fifa game and I've finally got my wish. In terms of online I don't really care for as my Internet isn't quite a strong enough to have a stable consist connection to allow for online gaming to be fun. So my review is purely based on gameplay in offline modes. As I said at the beginning this fifa is definitely alot better than fifa 21 and in my personal opinion the best the series has produced in atleast the last 3/4 if not 5 years. Naturally there's people that will disagree and each to the own.
