FIFA 23 (PS5) REVIEW full of the best details of the game

Football has been in my life for many years now. I’ve been playing simulators since forever, and I had the privilege of following their evolution, successes, stumbles and everything else that is part of the gaming universe. If I had to sum up FIFA 23 in a simple sentence, I could easily say that this is the best simulator ever made. But now let’s understand a little more the reasons for this.

The grass is always greener

First of all, it is necessary to highlight the gameplay. There are a lot of differences compared to last year’s version. The feeling I had was to have more control of the players, and also of the direction of the ball, whether in the pass, launch or kick. Now it is necessary to have the player minimally well positioned to perform the move.

In the field of kicks, in addition to the traditional ones, we now have a new type: the super kick . In an extremely crude way, it’s the famous boll weevil and be what God wants. It is possible to activate or not a small zoom on the screen when it is activated and the ball goes out at an incredible speed. Particularly, I used it when I was very close to the goalkeeper and I knew he would catch it in some miraculous way, but there are many ways to use it, it depends on each one.

Particularly, the graphics of the previous ones in the FIFA franchise never pleased me. The dolls looked like they were made of wax, totally unrealistic, but this time they’re cute. The most famous players, like Messi, Ney boy, Son and many others are very faithful. Another point to be highlighted here is the movement of the hair. In the race they follow the patterns we see in reality, which is really cool to see, especially when we score a goal.

And speaking of grass, it always starts clean and smooth, but at the end of each match, it is totally detonated, just like in real life. Did she take a stroller and put both hands on the floor? There’s the brand.

Other changes were in penalty kicks, corners and free kicks. Penalties lost their aim, and now they have a hit system with a circle that opens and closes. The closer to the center of the ball, the better, and thus easier to score. The fouls and corners are similar. Now there is a line that more or less shows the trajectory of the ball, and it can be changed according to the effect we choose to give at the time of the hit. That is, some training will be necessary to master these changes.

Career mode is still very fun to play. Now there are some complementary scenes to increase the immersion, like the coach taking a player who left the club to the door, or receiving an athlete. Scenes may vary slightly depending on the player’s level. This is basically perfumery, but it brings something extra to the game.

One thing that was really cool was the fact that they put several real-life coaches in their respective clubs. That is, it is possible to choose Guardiola and coach Manchester City . For my test I chose Tottenham , with Antonio Conte as the coach, and the quality was very high. The “broadcasts” of the matches were also a show apart, and it seems that we are actually watching a game on television instead of playing FIFA . Another thing Electronic Arts added was coach Ted Lasso , from the TV series, and also the team he runs. A full plate for fans of the work.

In addition, Volta and Pro Clubs modes will be shared, meaning the same player can be used in both. This ensures that more rewards are received over the course of the seasons, which happened at set times.

In FUT mode , Fifa Ultimate Team , the chemistry has changed, making it easier to increase chemistry between players. In addition, the packages will be able to give items that serve to customize the stadiums, placing mosaics and other things, all to make the house your way.

Crossplay

FIFA 23 will feature a crossplay system , that is, the possibility of playing matches against users of systems other than your own. The division was quite simple: PlayStation 4 and Xbox One players can play against each other, while the other platforms, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S|X and PC are part of the other group.

In my test, I played 3 matches against a friend on PC, and adding him to my friends list was very easy, as well as starting matches. There were no lags , delays or anything like that at any time during the matches . You can even chat with your friend.

This system facilitates the inclusion of friends in the games and encourages the creation of unofficial tournaments. A huge hit by Electronic Arts .

Goodbye FIFA 23

The deal between Electronic Arts and FIFA is apparently over. That is, starting next year, we will no longer have FIFA -branded games , at least not in the way we know. The trend is for a name change, which should be EA Sports FC . So FIFA 23 is the last of its name. Because of this, perhaps, there’s no way to know, this has been the most whimsical edition of the franchise in recent years.

The gameplay is excellent, and all the additions make this a unique game compared to its predecessors. You can make the game happen your way, and the streams of matches are even better than last year.

One of the few sins of the game is not having the Brazilian league. However, this is more a mistake made by Brazilian managers and players than by Electronic Arts. Here everything is messy and there is no league that can negotiate for the category, leaving everything to God. A feather.

The game modes make us stuck in FIFA 23 for several hours, without remembering the problems of life. For this one who writes to you, this game, without a doubt, is the best simulator ever made. And we’ll just have to wait and see what happens to our beloved FIFA, or whatever it’s called next year.
