FIFA always has a bit of a monkey’s paw change. We might get better defending, but the pace is ripped out of the game. Crossing is improved, but headers are terrible. Beckham finally looks like the real person, but his body is tiny (honestly, I think that’s happened with this year’s game).
From my time with FIFA 22 so far, one of my big takeaways is that goalkeepers are better. They get into better positions, particularly in one-on-one situations, and they pull off more impressive saves. You can’t just finesse shot your way to victory.
This doesn’t mean I haven’t already scored some blinders in my handful of hours playing, but I’m not constantly looking at my keeper and wondering why he’s still pulling in £100k a week. All in all, I’m pretty happy with FIFA 22 in its current state.
