If you haven't purchased FIFA 23 yet, do not bother. Stick with the older edition you might already have because it will be miles better than the latest.
Playing against the AI is just ridiculous. Playing the worst sides in career mode is ghastly. The worst players and sides in a league turn into Messi and Real Madrid all of a sudden. The team can be on the bottom of the table prior to the match, but start passing the ball like Manchester City and score worldies like Ronaldo when you play against them.
It is SO unrealistic.
I just had my striker sprint towards the middle of the pitch, when I had the ball with a winger, right on the penalty spot. I nearly tapped X to pass it the striker, but rather than either remain stationery or move into a better position (which is typically what happened on every other edition of FIFA in the past), he turned away from goal and sprinted towards the other end of the pitch.
I've had dozens of other similar instances, but I cannot be bothered mentioning them.
I now understand why EA have decided to make FIFA 23 the final release of this once great game. They can no longer make a good football game that is fair and balanced.
I will say though, the music is pretty good this time around. Of course there's some stuff I don't like, but most of the tracks are easy listening and some are excellent.
