FIFA 23 brings some great gameplay changes, but the sins of its predecessors still drag the game down.

FIFA 23 is a bombastic swan song for the series (under its current name, at least) with a welcome focus on theatrical flair. FUT Moments, action replays and viral-friendly gameplay revisions like Power Shots make it a more considered, memorable game of simulated football with intentional defending and plenty of drama and goals. But EA's Spartan approach to the modes that don't make money ensures FIFA 23 is an all-too-familiar beast to previous years, and Ultimate Team’s offensive focus on microtransactions continues to take much of the fun out of it.

FIFA 23 builds on the current-gen hardware foundations laid by its predecessor to rank as the most authentic and comprehensive soccer simulator ever made. It still can’t escape the gambling-adjacent frustrations that have tainted the FIFA experience for several years now, but the addition of HyperMotion 2 technology and refreshment of long-standing gameplay mechanics ensure FIFA 23 resembles something close to the swansong this decades-old franchise deserves.
