FIFA 22 Discussion (Console Versions)

So, former PES- player here... Is there any way to enjoy FIFA online? I mean in ANY way (except against irl friends I mean)? I understand that FUT is the same crap as MyClub in PES so I won't be touching that.

A little tip for those who is thinking about getting the stadia version. If you buy FIFA you get a Stadia Premier Editition for free, which includes a chromecast ultra and a Stadia controller. That's a no brainer for me, if you want to play next gen and don't have a PS5.
 
Oh, I’m just here from the eFootball 2022 thread. In case any of you are depressed and need a laugh, you need to come and see how things are going over in the (ex-) PES camp.

For those of you who don’t have the time; figuratively speaking, eFootball has removed the pineapple from the pepperoni pizza and replaced it with herpes.

yeah, that looks off. the defender that shouldve stayed with the striker is moving into the penalty box too. did not notice that before so thanks for spotting.

1v1 defending. Unfortunately this stuff still happens, at least once a game.

I'm convinced switching on "Competitor Mode" helps, but unfortunately it ruins the attacking gameplay depending on the team.
 
Surprised at a lack of criticism about goalkeepers in the thread and social media. Is it just me? They're solid enough one-on-one, or when a shots down low and within their orbit, but anything else is a lottery.

Seeing this:



A lot.
 
@Flipper the Priest Personally I'm just grateful they're more unpredictable and a bit more organic, though they've toned it down massively from the first beta.

They started out fairly ragdollish - as in, they seemed more genuinely physics-based and less "overridden in an obvious way to stop certain exploits" than any other position on the field.

But the FUT complaints of "my goalkeeper sometimes lets shots go in, WAH" were listened to - in a weird way.

Now, they dig out absolute wonder-saves three times in a row - the type that would get you signed up for PSG immediately after the game - and then for the next shot, they just sort of... Fall over comically.

yes, keepers are sometimes broken (was saying that before). i noticed that a couple of times in similar fashion. but the error produced can be fixed, im sure (in hope). currently there is a problem with the keeper animatons. they sometimes choose the wrong one and an easy ball goes in.

I am surprised with the lack of criticism at all. There are so many inconsistent physics or animation sequences which really hurt when you are used to PES2021. And yes, they are forcing you to choose a different tactical approach as you would do in real life in the respective situations.

It has been accepted as fifa-ish physics and animation

I need to learn how to upload clips on youtube or some other yoke from xbox.
But yeah, in general, its so fluid that it doesnt feel like Fifa at all.
There's weight, momentum, ball physics is a huge step up. Immersion is there. AI is varied, its challenging, its fun, its a big yes from me.
Hope they will keep it this way.

Dont get me wrong - its not ideal.
But holy fuck - after F21 I did not expect they will ever develop something close to football ever again. This is brilliant when you come from F21

Im playing trial now. Only last night I realised I actually have Game Pass Ultimate, so downloaded game this morning.
I think its already patched tho, coz I have 3rd kits and people were saying there was no third kits at the start.
I think there's some other patch coming this weekend. If they dont ruin it by Monday - ill get it then

Thx. Let’s exchange version numbers later. :D I’ll show you mine if you show me yours...

3rd kit was there already from the begining actually. Some teams have, others don't. Maybe someone spoke too early before he noticed it.

I've got enough Joe Lewis issues to contend with in real life and in WE8LE without him stinking the place up in FIFA as well... It just feels to me as if the AI makes the goalkeepers the fall guys (works on so many levels) to manufacture high scorelines and drama.

At a crossroads now. Now I'm back in the groove I'm finding it a little easy. I used to see full manual as almost an extra difficulty level but I think I'll make the switch now and continue on World Class. This will hopefully disrupt my formulaic approach to the game and make me less effective without making the CPU flawless in and around the box.

Right now I'm seeing it as a return to form, putting it about par with 18. By my logic, FIFA 24 will be outstanding.

Do you guys have sliders and stuff sorted or what? Lol, I haven't got a clue how I will approach this game...

I used @Matt10 sliders, set it on slow, full manual, professional. A lot of my settings are saved from previous games.
There's shit loads of customisation, so it will take a while to find your sweet spot.

Ps. But if you play online - sliders, or game speed cannot be changed.. only your assistance settings.. so thats a bummer.

Hmm, yeah. But there should be a setting, like PES, that makes you play only others using manual passing online for example?

No idea, pal.. i only played online against friends. Never played any modes.
Someone else will have to take this one.

Yes, you can restrict your matchmaking settings to manual-only in certain modes.

When playing with friends, you can even set the game speed (but not sliders, sadly) and you can vote to turn off "enhanced attributes" (which makes the game much better).
 
There's good few bugs that need sorting, but even with them its really enjoyable.
Most annoying so far is Player Based Difficulty indicator. I like the feature itself, but I set Star Player Indicator OFF in settings. First match - I didnt know who the star players are and who I should I be afraid off.
Next two matches - there's a big fucking arrow over their heads and I cant switch it off anymore. Unless Im missing something.

Been mentioned previously. It's a bug that was present from the first beta. Not sure why they haven't fixed it yet...
