The origin. The constant development from the developer. The community. This game is definitely one of the best games of all time that is in the heart of gamers. Personally, about 5 years ago, I frequently played that neighbour game DOTA2, whose some of developers decided to separate from the studio to make a new one and create this LOL. But that game is more difficult to play and enjoy as it’s more competitive. The reason solely got my friends switched from DOTA to LOL. one by one. Finally, my biassed mind stopped and I tried playing this game like 3 years ago. I’d say that I still prefer my good old game where every detail counts, one person cannot win the game, teamwork is compulsory. But when I played this game with my friends for years. I feel like my IQ’s decreased but it’s ok because the game requires less thinking than DOTA. I now truly understand why people prefer this game more as women can enjoy it as well. The game is well designed for community expansion. I'm not gonna lie. In this game, most of the characters or you all called the champions have very high capability of solo play such as healing, swift movement, stun in pocket to turn the tide in every fight, every time. Not to mention that there are extra abilities called the summoner spells that are freely given to players. The game is heated and enjoyable from the first minute of the game where the character is low level and weak to the late game where every player gets all the items and power and is ready for the final fight of the game. Actually, there are some points that I dislike. First is the microtransaction. You can play it for free without spending real life money on the game but it requires new players a lot of time to achieve as much as those who spend. I personally don’t like this kind of system in every game where money is the way out and advantage over other players. Another is the community. The player. People in this game seem to be fragile and untouchable. Every mistake makes people insane and want to concede at 15 minutes (the game allows a team to vote to concede at 15 minutes if they give up). Luckily, my good old game is more toxic. People flame others like they killed each other grandma but they rarely give up since there’s no concede choice. Therefore, I can easily handle this toxicity. I always vote no to give up but the other four vote yes. Such a devastating mentality. I just want to play the game. Win or lose. It does not matter. Just play it to the end. But that's ok cause I can play with my friends who have positive mental attitude and enjoy the game.

Unlike last year's release, there aren't too many noticeable issues that need improving on either. EA have been afforded more time to get this game to where they need it to be, and they seem to have done exactly that. On the other hand though, there are still modes with untapped potential that EA have to put more focus on in order to appeal to their full market of players. It's a strong release from EA, one which will keep them at the top of the footballing sim market, but without a leading competitor to challenge them, that isn't awfully difficult. FIFA 22 is a slower game than FIFA 21 as a result, but that doesn’t mean it’s all about defence. There’s not a lack of goals; you just have to earn them with careful passing play and vision. Patience often seems to trump pace, which is very refreshing. 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. There are quite a few problems. Career is near unplayable thanks to loads of bugs and glitches, Ultimate Team is still a pay-to-win fest and a lot of modes are clearly less important than cash cow Ultimate Team, which is understandable, but still frustrating. You may love FUT. You may never have spent any extra money. Most players also don't. but someone is paying. That makes the game hard to grind and unenjoyable to match up with those who spend more money on their team. After last year's debacle, Fifa 22 is fortunately taking another step in the right direction. It's far from the level of Fifa 10 or the best parts of the previous generation. FIFA 22 has achieved a successful acceleration with its features and new dynamics. But despite all these innovations, it can barely get rid of the "same game" feeling. We're still waiting for EA to reinvent the wheel and shock us with a refreshing take on virtual football.
