FIFA 23 Review: EA's last ever FIFA game isn't quite a clinical finish

[ad_1]

If you’ll allow me to torture an analogy, trying to make the perfect FIFA game must feel a bit like Guardiola’s vintage Barcelona side trying to beat Jose Mourinho’s 2009-10 Champions League-winning Inter team. You can do seemingly everything right, but for all the swashbuckling beauty and idealism of the world’s best attacking teams, there’s nothing like the obstinate force of reality to bring everything tumbling down.

FIFA 23 takes another crack at the impossible balancing act that presents itself to EA Sports every 12 months, with accessible, realistic football simulation on one side and intense gameplay with an extreme skill gap on the other.

So while FIFA 23 is yet another utterly compelling dopamine factory that I’ll no-doubt be playing until the day before the next game comes out like every year, it’s still very easy to criticise and will ultimately be as divisive as previous entries over the last 5-ish years have become.
