Much like my Liverpool fandom over the past 20 years, I vacillate between happily obsessive and begrudgingly bewildered with FIFA. Like Liverpool, when FIFA works like a well-oiled machine, play on the field is beautiful, slick, and drives my football-loving brain to elation with dopamine hits. However, FIFA 23 feels like FIFA 22, which was similar to FIFA 21, with additions ranging from mildly impactful to invigorating.<\/p>\n

FIFA has focused on one facet of soccer for years: the attack. It\u2019s almost arcade-like when you feel how quickly and smoothly players change pace from a controlled dribble to a sprint. Cross-field balls behind defenders for a winger to rush onto are exhilarating. The much-debated trick stick is hard to master, but even a couple of flicks can launch an audacious stepover or the famous Maradona spin to beat a defender.<\/p>\n

EA\u2019s HyperMotion2 technology enables more natural animations between dribbling and shooting, but it\u2019s barely noticeable even during replays. Most goals look similar to those scored in FIFA 22, which isn\u2019t bad. It\u2019s just that HyperMotion2 doesn\u2019t revolutionize the presentation, making it feel like just another yearly update that is just a bit smoother.<\/p>\n

One positive addition this year is the ability to play \u201cMoments\u201d in Ultimate Team. Reminiscent of FIFA 2006 World Cup\u2019s global challenge mode, you play different scenarios, like overcoming a two-goal deficit beginning with a penalty kick in the 70th minute of a match. These scenarios reward stars used to unlock cards like Ted Lasso and his right-hand-man Coach Beard for Ultimate Team. It\u2019s a fun and quick way to grind for cards.<\/p>\n

Chemistry in Ultimate Team provides stat boosts to your players if you assemble a team with players in the correct position and of the same nationality or league, and it accumulates differently this year. Players can earn up to three chemistry points, but this time, you can hit chemistry maxes with, for example, an English attack and a La Liga backline, allowing for more satisfying and creative team building. <\/p>\n

Career mode is more robust this year, offering fun for those looking to go through a season solo with their created avatar or a real-world player. Players must complete targets set in-game to please the manager, but it still feels like only scoring and assisting matter to your rating instead of simply staying in position and completing passes. What does spruce it up quite a bit is the addition of Playable Highlights during your player or manager career.<\/p>\n
