Career mode has been given an overhaul in appearance to bring it in line with FIFA 23 Coins the rest of the game but it's played identical to the previous. When you take control of an individual player, there are RPG-style points to be earned depending on your conduct in and off the field Additionally, you have the option to play as real-life players and coaches instead of making your own from scratch.
What makes less sense is the ongoing attempts by career mode for you to play less football. EA has already added several training components that felt like administrative in the past, but now you can choose to play highlights of games rather than the full 90 mins. In the case of a football match, it's slightly baffling.
FIFA may not be the best game to show off the power of your console. But there are some neat updates to 23 which help enhance that feeling of real-world realism just a little bit more regardless of whether the nets on the goal cause ripples or how sliding attacks can lead to the pitch to split up over the duration over 90 minutes.
EA is eager to highlight the positive impact of its HyperMotion2 motion-capture tech, which makes player movement look more natural. This year, it's been applied to women as well as the men, and while the physical differences between the two are not as obvious as they are when playing with males, it's yet another step towards making the women's game less of a token inclusion.
There's still some way to go, though. In addition, the Women's Super League and France's Division 1 Feminine takes the number of teams to 41, but they're not able to play as in every mode including career mode, making FUT being the most obvious omissions.
FIFA 23 represents more representative than ever before, but when you can take on the role of AFC Richmond from Apple TV+'s Ted Lasso, but not as Chelsea or Arsenal's women's teams there's certainly some room to improve.
A large number of players will purchase an entirely new FIFA game no matter what this or any other reviews say, but to those who are wondering if it's worth stumping up more PS60, FIFA 23 Coins for sale is more than just a bunch of new uniforms and updated squads.
