Blog:My honest thoughts of FIFA 22

My thoughts on FIFA 22
FIFA 22 was a game released by EA on September 26,2021. It was released on a lot of platforms and even on next gen. This would be the perfect time for the guys at EA to really be a monopoly in the football genre as Konami released eFootball which was awful.

Ultimate Team
What else do I have to say as this mode is the same as the previous FIFA's. It feels like nothing has changed! Same pay to win just with an updated roster and stats. Other then that it is the same mode literally no new modes were added.

Pro Clubs
My favorite game mode on FIFA 21. Somehow they managed to fuck this game mode even more. First off, drop ins got a redesign that now you can play drop ins with friends. Thats the only improvement in pro clubs. On other FIFA's you could find a match in 30 seconds or 2 minutes in unlucky but in this game its awful. You can find games but its not uncommon to be in a 5 vs 1 in drop ins. One time I wanted to play drop in's, it took me 8 minutes to find a match that wasn't a 5 v 1 and in one of those matches the guy immediately left the game meaning I had to do this whole process again. After being in the game you play a match and you realize that goalkeepers in this game are OP. They save everything and the only way to score is by tap ins or a lucky 1v1. This makes having the option of playing goalkeeper pointless! After that drop in match you decide to use skill points and this is my main problem. It takes forever to level up unlike last FIFA where it felt easier. They added perks and you can only have 3 but you have to unlock them. The problem is some of the perks like second wind which is easy to unlock in other FIFA's takes forever! You have to reach I believe level 22 just to unlock it! And that is way too much time as you have to unlock xp. I really tried to like pro clubs but I couldn't...

Career Mode
Its the same as FIFA 21 but almost nothing has changed. Wait they added create a club but even that is flawed. I made a team and told them to be a very youthful team. All the youth players were like 50 rated while everyone else were like 60+! Whats the point of saying you want a youthful team if they will be so bad while the experienced players are good but old. You cannot customize your players as well it is a pre determined squad so if you wanted to make India into a world footballing power too bad for you. This is the only thing worth mentioni

ng as everything else is the same thing. If you wanted to do a create a club just get Silgo Rovers and put them in the English 4th division and there you go thats pretty much the same exact thing as that mode!!! And if thats not bad enough they will give you certain objectives that are bad. Like one objective was to sign 3 North American players when my team are all 85+, or in year 7 have an objective that says use 2 youth academy players in your year 1 like how am I suppose to remember that? Player Career mode did get some new features like a bar to show you how happy your manager is but that is broke. I played 5 games at ST and scored 7 goals yet the manager was upset in all but one game... I stopped as it was clear that this mode is awful.

VOLTA
VOLTA is dead. No one plays it and usually when I did drop ins it was the same users I had last match. Not to mention one time I was stuck on a black screen and had to close my application. They added 3 special traits but thats all they added. No other improvements gives.

Gameplay
You would think they gameplay would be the same but its not. They made defending even harder somehow as it looks like the AI will just skill move blast you and if you get a tackle it will go right back to them Im not the only one with that problem. They will score great goals from 30 yards out and remember the thing about goalkeepers being good in pro clubs? It feels like in career mode your goalkeeper is awful and your opponent has a good goalkeeper. Passing is bad as well. I cannot say how many times it passed the ball to the wrong player. I would have a player making a run and my player would play a through ball backwards.... that defeats the whole point... All the other game modes are the same and nothing else changed

Final thoughts
This is the worst FIFA I have played. EA took a step backwards and they ruined pro clubs. If you go on the Pro Clubs reddit you will see a few post about people saying how bad the mode is this FIFA and that's something that wasen't common in FIFA 21. At least customization was better so that's a positive but thats all that was good. Not to mention the Switch Version is just like FIFA 19 with nothing. I would not recommend this game to anyone as even my friends who ive played FIFA since FIFA 19 rarely get on pro clubs on how bad this game is.
