FIFA 22 Q&A

[KG]

This year the FIFA embargo is pretty wide open, most likely due to EA giving codes out to a lot of content creators. I have the PS5 version so if you have any questions....feel free to ask away.

The only thing I ask is that you look to see what questions have already been asked so I can spend more time getting to other questions.

Have at it!

Re: FIFA 22 Q&A

I'm not all that bothered to hear too much more until I play it for myself next week, so how about this:

Related to gameplay, what have you liked most so far and what have you liked least?

Not related to gameplay... same question!

Related to gameplay

I really like the pace of play. It’s slow at times, faster at others but with a believe tempo. It’s not all end to end. Maybe because HyperMotion means the teams keep their shape better. Idk yet but it’s good.

What I like the least is how deep back lines can get in their own box. I haven’t tinkered either sliders but midfielders are better at tracking back. They still won’t get too deep into your own box to defend but they’re more aware and active. Hopefully sliders can sort out the back line depth.

Non - gameplay

The sounds and presentations for the EPL and Bundesliga are incredible. When you score a goal the place erupts. We’re just starting to get that feeling back in real-life and it’s replicated well in ‘22 within the top European leagues.

Liked the least….. career mode wasn’t really touched outside of create a club.

I'm confused, everyone can play it starting the 22nd.

It’s an advanced review copy for OS.

Can you create GK kits in create a club in career mode? Wasn't in the beta so i doubt it's in but that would be nice.

No, just your home and away kit it seems.

Thanks for the response. That's so frustrating man... The GK kits they generated in the beta were so generic it made the whole create a team feel generic and unrealistic. Destroyed all immersion.

Yeah I feel you. It's like "if you're going to make it customizable, go all out".

Honestly, create a club is basically the same as create a Pro CLubs team with a few more additions that came over from FUT.

Hi KG!


How is the CPU Offense? Is it somewhat believable? Do they cross when they should or just dribble back? Do they shoot outside?


Are the ball physics decent, when you cross specially? Meaning, is the arc of the ball natural?


Your thoughts in general about CPU offense would be great!

The CPU offense is much better than it was in the beta pre-patch. There are still times where they look confused on the wings but I've seen numerous teams across Europe send in crosses which is encouraging. I've only seen one shot outside the box, from McGinn (Aston Villa) so that's one area that could use some tweaking by AI.

Ball physics are improved but still nothing I would consider good. They're good on ground passes but balls in the air, especially headers are the same mess they've been for the past few years. I've seen guys back-peddling near the edge of the 18 and able to get a powerful header on target.

The AI offense isn't bad at all. There are times where they get ping-pongy but overall it's not bad. I think most of the team tactics are jacked up which makes teams play the same but I've had some good matches on Legendary.

Thanks mate!
I've heard about the feature of dynamic fans. For example, if you're far behind, fans leave the stadium. Does this also apply when teams are on the bottom of the tables or does it just happen in game when you are loosing. I really want to see half empty stadiums when I play bottom teams.

Im on a 2 year FIFA "break" (did play but for like a month or so) and most of the things i disliked are still there...



Not enough shots outside the box (except first time shots probably, those were pretty common before); ball physics still strange (crosses specially), headers are like rockets...


Also saw a video this morning were GK animation on a shot was him faling to the ground on the spot (without stretching) and shrunk his arms! it seemed it was something forced to let the shot go in!



Let´s see... i was hopeful with FIFA this year, since PES seems a terrible mess, but i dont know...

I haven’t personally seen that but I haven’t played too far into a career mode to find out. I have seen screenshots that show dynamic attendance

Regarding keepers

Keepers were really good in the beta pre-patch but people complained that they were OP’d and now they’re back to getting beat at the near post and not saving shots directly hit at them.
