The FIFA series can be incredibly difficult to review. It faces criticism for putting out the same game every year FIFA 23 coins, and while I don’t necessarily think that’s true, trying to pick apart the finer issues of the game does seem to highlight a lot of similarities to last year, and the year before that, and the year before that…

But then, the single biggest problem with FIFA 20 was that crossing didn’t work. In FIFA 23, crossing is back – not so easy that every game features five headers apiece, but no longer a complete waste of time to be avoided. As far as the visuals go, it looks great, with hundreds of lifelike player captures, but it also looks stale, with everything bar Romelu Lukaku’s hairline the same as last year.

FIFA 23 feels like a picture of food on a restaurant menu. It looks nice enough, but it’s missing the smells, the textures, the warmth and the emotion. It’s not food, after all, just a picture of one. And you order the same food because it’s your favourite, and it comes and it’s nice and then it’s gone. Until you go back and order it again. It never looks quite like the picture, but you’re hungry, so you eat it.

Through Interactive Match Simulations, players will be able to make tactical decisions and adopt the role of a manager as they make decisions on the pitch from a top-down simulation view.

 
Other new features in FIFA 23 include Active Training, new transfer options, alongside an enhanced opposition A.I, which will present more challenges as computer controlled teams act with more realism than ever before.

FIFA 23 is set to launch on October 9 on PC, PS4 and Xbox One. Next-gen and Google Stadia versions of the game will launch at a later date cheap FUT 23 coins.
