I think that for wider handhelds like the Switch Lite, or what I use which is literally an old smartphone with a controller attachment that makes it sort of seem like a Nintendo Switch, you have to find a way for your arms to rest, how I play is usually laying on my bed, with some cushions and pillows on my back and neck, and with my arms to my side resting on the bed, it's the only way to not get tired quickly I think.
Sorry to bump the thread again but I was reading through some old posts for answers and came across this.
Good comments man - and I agree, it really plays a good game of football. That's interesting you've found gameplay differences from 20 switch version. Most of us hadn't played the older ones, so good to hear that it's moved forwards.I was hesitant if i should buy this or not, for various reasons.
Tempted and finally convinced to buy it, due to people's opinions here, and cause maybe it is the last game for Switch.
Wanted the digital version, but... Nintendo Europe stubbornness didn't give a discount, in contrast to Nintendo e-shop US, so i went for the physical copy, that is on 50% discount everywhere in Greek stores right now and delivery arrived today.

Played 2 matches already and i can assure, in comparison to FIFA 20 Legacy Edition, which i was playing till yesterday, that this version is improved, gameplay wise.
It worths its money 101%. I would like to say this game is a freakin Master Piece, but it sounds exaggerated, so i will just say it's improved.
The general pace is slower than 20, which was good already, so in normal speed, it's awesome for me, no need messing with sliders till now, the visual part, given the Switch shortcomings, is improved from 2020 too.
Τhe ball speed is also slower and more smooth in comparison to 2020. And the finetuned the passing, while using the flair and driven passes, it works better now and like the PS4 version, it is improved, for example when i was using the flair modifier on FIFA 17 i have it in R2 for me, and player was always excecuting a fancy backheel or some tricky pass, on latter version it was imrpoved, so the players did backheels and tricky passes less often. The same happened here, while comparing 2020 and 2023.
There's still the legacy glitch, sometimes when scoring, the screen blinks. I also noticed a new one, some hairstyles look buggy depending on the stadium lighting and the time/weather effects. It's like those PES 2008 PS2 glitched hairstyle, with missing textures.
But the gameplay is really enjoying and it gave me that "one more match" feeling.
I played both my matches in handheld mode, so now i wait for tonight, to try it in docked mode on TV. 🙂
Haven't played the next-gen big boys, since FIFA 20, so can't hold a point of relevance to compare, but this one version for Switch plays really good, basic but good.
Really Shame that this game is burned down by professional reviewers and amateur fans, just because of its label, "Legacy Edition", with the same repeated reviews again and again, FIFA 18.5, FIFA 15.5, same game different kits, etc, etc...
Makes me want to jump in and call'em "potato heads". Ok maybe the game doesn't worth 40€, possibly i would say.
But it's a game built on a very solid base, and fine tuned year after year. I can't even assume if the intention if the dev team in EA behind this, is to create a concept of art every year, or they just want to "moneygrab".
But i can assure that the final result, is much more than satisfying. Started my traditional CM save with HSV in Bundesliga.2 .
That's because most reviewers aren't football game experts or are as passionate about the technical aspects of the games the way we are over here. They have no idea the Switch version actually plays a more realistic representation of football than the PS5 version. So it's easier just to be critical of it.
In some ways, it reminds me of the PS2 legacy versions of PES from 2008-2014. Most of the main dev team moves on with the current-gen development and perhaps skeleton staff and younger talent carry on experimenting with the legacy versions because no one's around to interfere or bother them. And they end up making something a little more passionate.
Hahaha... thanx dude. Yeah there are minor differences, with the previous version, always speaking about 2020 Legacy Edition, which i own too, can't speak about 2021-2022.
And the bounds outside of the football field, are not implemented, meaning that, in any other stadium, when i mishit a ball, it hits the stand or the wall, back of the Goalpost, and bounces back. In San Siro, it passes through the walls and the adboards like a ghost. Not something dramatic, just a detail. 
I am sure it's another PS2 PES 2008-2014 case. If you check in PPSSPP emulator, the same applies for the FIFA 06-14 for PSP, it used the 2005-2006 gameplay core for PC/PS2 as a base, with some minor imporvements here and there, and also IIRC in PSVITA, FIFA 15 is also legacy edition, of a version i do not know, maybe 2011, something like that.
Hey man, sorry I missed this. It's the Tele cam.

Interesting...how interesting it would be to understand how the fc24 version is on switches compared to the console and PC versions
I assume it will be an "upgrade" to more modern standards, which will make critics, professional reviewers and journalists happy, but will destroy the beauty that the Legacy Edition development (Ignite gameplay preservation) created.
