EA must be gasping for air with laughter. Imagine people giving you 60-70 bucks every year plus millions in microtransactions, just for you to update the transfer market and switch a few players around in each squad.
@@JGTH-cam0haha, maybe it’s just the camera angle giving a bit of an optical illusion but it’s honestly so dumb when I see these little midgets diving around and taking down Romero. They never should have mixed the male and female in ultimate team but there you go. Appreciate the comment too mate!
Player career mode doesn't event have the walkouts they fucking lied, I only olay player career and manager career modes, don't give a fuck about the multiplayer modes, but rush is indeed a lot of fun the first fun in online fifa sense probably ps3 days
Nothing substantial my friend. Nothing to justify the price. Tell your wife that you feel it’s best to put the money to buying her an outfit and become a hero instead.
I also havent bought fifa for about... 15 years i think. Paying full price for the same game year on year is why you can reliably say the human race is comprised of 99.9% idiots is accurate. 😄 Even more so with football manager. All youre paying for is an updated database which doesnt cost them that much. Maximum lazy for maximum profit. If FM has actually updated its match graphics with unity this year i might actually consider it.
Well, guess im the lucky few that actually enjoy this game. People wanted the game to "slow" down to match realism, but now they say its too slow lol. i been playing FIFA since '08, had every copy of FIFA since, this is the most ive had fun.
I honestly love when people share a counter view like this. Always important to have balance so appreciate you sharing mate. Regarding speed, it’s a funny old game. It will forever swing back and forth to appease players. My biggest bug bear is the speed of crosses so far (or lack of). Thanks again!
You don’t like my opinion? That’s ok mate. Baiting you guys with the video? Not at all… I’ve been playing fifa since the 90’s, and from the 2015 onwards you get less and less. If you watch the review at the end I say it’s the best football game there is, but I also say it’s not worth upgrading if you own a fifa in the last 4 years. I’d say most folks feel the same. And the lower score is for the scummy pay to win practices in ultimate team with loot boxes.
@autumraider6796 how so? It’s copy paste football season after season… hence why if you own the last few years there is no point in the upgrade as there isn’t enough of a change. Their own deep dive gameplay video was 4 minutes long on the reveal… that tells you all you need to know on how many changes they are making every year.
@autumraider6796 how much does ea pay you? Mate the game is dog. Players are still on ice skates it's not football. Stop being so hurt if people don't agree with you. Blimey...
I enjoyed Volta, loads of stadiums with different size goal options, beach football and etc. they replace it with a new mode with ONE stadium. How is that upgrading/moving forwards
It’s a real shame because I think they are onto something with Rush. One of the most enjoyable features for me personally this year, but as you say very stripped back.
They have over powered the elite teams so much that they may as well only put Champions League teams in the game. Play as anyone else against Real Madrid and you're almost certainly going to lose.
Seen guys already saying they regretted getting the game after day 1 lol. I warned people that this would happen when they were releasing the trailers but they didn’t wanna listen. Happens every single year but people are always hooked to a new game like it’s a shiny toy. Problem is, the game rarely changes but minor stuff that everyone’s sick and tired of in a week. Around October, there’s always complaint videos and I bet they’ll be stacked this year. It’s just going to be another year of rage and risk of health problems (that’s if you can control your anger and many people can’t as the game is broken and you will lose it at some point) Glad I didn’t succumb to getting this garbage especially after the shambles that was fc24😂.
first fifa i liked in ages. hard to complain about the gameplay when you can literally change it to ur liking . offline at least. simulation mode pretty gd . i tweaked sum sliders . n used dynamic ai behavior . really makes it much more unpredictable n fun in manager mode
I feel it is hard to be objective with a game like Fifa. It would be hard to realistically revolutionize the franchise since football is not changing. I feel that if the price was lower and the game came as an update, it would deserve a higher rating. Are you going to review football manager 2025 since it is moving on to the unity engine?
Very fair point that. Worth noting a ding Fifa for the loot boxes too so points always knocked off for that. I hate reading review after review online where the reviewer complains about the practice, explains how bad it is and then slaps an 8/10 score. As for football manager, I’m a big fan but honestly haven’t played one in a few years now. For sure I’ll put it down on my radar and see if we can fit it in! Thanks for a great comment here!
It's not about revolutionising the game. It's about giving a damn, and EA doesn't. There's 0 soul in these games anymore. No attention to detail. The gameplay has been broken for years. Players skating about. Bad AI. Too many animations. Scripting/momentum. Laggy servers. Unresponsiveness. Add to that the fact it's a gambling simulator for kids at this point. They only care about FUT and making money on packs.
Sometimes I hate the AI Defense in EAFC/FIFA.. They look dumb.. It's like they just allow the attackers to get past them. In efootball, it's little hard to get past through the defenses.. All players, MF, Attackers, they fall back to defend. And also in efootball, our passes often gets cut off, cause the defending players are so mobile and alert. Of course this depends on the difficulty level also but in general, defense is little weak in EAFC Or maybe dribbling is too OP
Pes fundamentally changed their gameplay and how it looks every year when it was out... Ea has zero innovation because it makes money, why change something when millions of morons buy the same game every year... At its core it's a rubbish football game
I wasn’t going to buy it this year. I have skipped a few before as I thought PES was better. Played it via EA Play and was actually surprised that how they managed to get rid of that horrible arcade style that has ruined the game for me. The players physically also feel different. The game isn’t perfect but I am actually tempted now.
Effootball is the supreme football physics engine it feels like you control the player with the ball not controlling the ball it's a dumb engine for casual football masses.
Am I the only one who doesn't think the gameplay is the same? The game is significantly harder than last year. Every pass gets intercepted, and every shot gets blocked
Listen, maybe it’s because I had a gap between fc 24 and 21 but I hate AI defending, took all the skill away from defending and made some things like skills a bit more obsolete. With that being said, tell me the AI defending has toned down
Mate, I kid you not, I always select in ultimate team “opponents default kit” where you don’t get to see the colour up front of course. I’m amazed though after all these years they haven’t worked a simple line of coding where two of the same colour can’t be shown. I had multiple games like this too.
Played every year since 07 but this will be the first time I’m not buying the game… only play for career mode. Sad but I’m tired of the same old, tired broken game
Very fair rebuttal and yes, I hear you on the patches! I remember have a disastrous time connecting to Pro Club matches last year and it took weeks for a patch to actually fix it. Was so frustrating. Fingers crossed then!
You are too kind mate, thank you so much for the donation. I’m currently battling through Diablo 4 DLC… it’s a big game so want to make sure I do it justice and give a good view of it. Will do my absolute best to get this out to you by the weekend! Thanks again mate, your support means everything!
Personally I hate it. I take fc24 over this any day. I've been playing it for a week and the gameplay is horrible to me. Plus they have removed inter and ac Milan and replaced them with dodgy fake names. I'm going back to last years and uninstalling this
This game has same mechanics that of eafc 24 Spamming Lob passes Kick off glitch Cut backs Side switching Corner glitch is still there Right stick switching is so much random , the game selects wrong players even if you do the right command , And i can keep going Fc 25 is even worse than eafc 24 in terms of connection
Last 2 years I have game shared on PlayStation cause I am not spending money on this, although 24 was on offer for 15 quid at one point so I just snapped it up. I think I’ll probably buy this, but looking more forward to FM25
You raise a good point… I’m trying to think back to the last time I paid full price fifa. I feel like it’s a classic every year for a Black Friday sale.
@@cockneygamer literally, I used to be so excited to get the new fifa after coming back from school but now it’s almost like a drag to keep getting it. I mainly play pro clubs and career mode so it feels as though there is no point
Player running with the ball is awful! You can hardly do any dribble and go past players smoothly without using skill based dribbles! Direction changes looks either jerky/disjointed or looks like players are skating on ice. That alone is a big bummer for me and I totally hate it. But some really good positives too if you play for an extended time - AI makes mistakes, AI mistimes tackles and lunges and gets red card, they make misplaced passes Rebounds can be random and can fall to any player (whereas in any FIFA till EAFC24 any rebounds or deflections would magically fall only to AI. Same is the case with clearances too. Even last minute clearance by AI will be a perfect pass to their own player,.
Its a decent game this year............. love the weather effects ......rain slows the ball down..............snow...players skid ........... new animations are great.............
Think its finally arrived the year i contemplate fifa aka eafc. More enjoy a story rpg open world games. It'll be the first year i havent bought it since 2006
Perfect time for the upgrade mate! As I said at the end of the review… still the best game of football… just never a yearly purchase that’s all. You’ll have a blast. Cheers for the comment.
same cut scenes, same gameplay same animations, same intro music, same entrance video, same goals same commentary same menu same stupid AI same defenders that can walk sideways backwards LOL

This game become the most manipulative game lately . It always was but novadays it just went through the roof . I ain't having the games that treat me like 12 yo kid that haven't grown brain cells yet .
EA now is too far away from “real” football. It is only trickers showtime which you rarely see it on the real life. No tactics more important than skill moves, and what I don’t get it - where on earth you see it is much easier bring the ball all by yourself than passing. Defender is having real issue to take the ball from trickster but they can stop the passing even 2 mtrs away from their body and they keep the ball. To be honest I have enjoy the game on early 2000s than now. is too much gimmick and only concentrate to have more microtransaction
Its definitely not thr best football game out there. Like have u been playing fifa undee a rock? Pes 21 with roster update beats this games gameplay in a second. So much fun still today. Gameplay in that game is superior in every way. Its just more fun.
If you haven’t bought the game, don’t listen to this video. Gameplay is wayy better. Besides the new CM menu, i have nothing to complain about so far. It’s a good game. Hating gets you views and that’s why most TH-camrs are bashing this game
Couldn’t agree more here. Played it even more since the review and honestly the players just feel the same no matter what. Definitely feels like PR bollocks. Thanks for commenting!
Unfortunately if we want the game to get better, we all have to stop buying it

You would be valid if they made the game free to play like effootball because they don't need the sales of the game
First year I've not folded and bought it and I'm not missing it at all. Same old garbage as always. Ultimate Casino basically
Me too mate hopefully this boxing games gonna be good to fill the void.
For real 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️😢😢😔☹️
How about the game yesterday pay all that money and I do not like it I am a soccer fan love to play soccer
Player career mode doesn't event have the walkouts they fucking lied, I only olay player career and manager career modes, don't give a fuck about the multiplayer modes, but rush is indeed a lot of fun the first fun in online fifa sense probably ps3 days
Last year was a game built from scratch on a new game engine. this year, I can’t even name 3 things that changed
Any difference(s) between fifa 22 and this?
I know there are no substantial ones to justify selling my wife to get the game.

go and watch a pro evo game from about 2004 here on youtube. It's amazing how much quicker them games were. Much better as well.
Also enjoyed the game. But only played about five division 6 rival games. Noticed that games are going to be reliant on tactics this year.
