As for making FIFA a better and safer experience for younger players, the discussion surrounding loot boxes and whether they should be allowed to exist in their current form rages on. FIFA has been at the center of those discussions from day one due to its most popular mode, Ultimate Team. That despite EA attempting to claim FUT packs are surprise mechanics when others have labeled them loot boxes.

FC 24 Review - Same Name, Same Game

SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT

To call upon a football cliche, Irsquo;m going to set my stall out early and declare that Irsquo;ll be saying very little about Ultimate Team here. Irsquo;m sure there are hundreds of reviews out there in various different forms which focus entirely on Ultimate Team, so this is the antithesis. I never play it, despite logging hours upon hours of FIFA each year, so Irsquo;m not in position to comment. I was given 4,600 FIFA Points for the review, and even after spending them all my team left a little to be desired - my only viable wide players were Coman and Son, both loan signings with just three games each.

After them, my best player was Trippier. As a Newcastle fan, I can see the excitement that comes with the ever more spectacular player reveals, but if I want to play as Kieran Trippier online I can just play as Newcastle or England anyway. After spending what amounts to around pound;35, my team does not feel worth it. With that, let move on from Ultimate Team completely.

There are a few differences in the gameplay this year, but that what they are - differences. Not improvements, necessarily. Dribbling is now more intricate, but pace remains crucial and players stand off a little more, meaning knock and run or skill moves do more than left stick dribbling. Tackles feel more robust, but they happen more rarely - a result of players standing off by default. Crossing is the best it been in years too, with around a third of my goals, maybe a little more, being scored via crosses. Heading ability doesnrsquo;t seem as important as the crosses themselves - Saint-Maximin has three headed goals for me, and my career has only reached November. It borders on overpowered, especially as fairly average players (with apologies to Miguel Almiron and Joe Willock) can pop in powerful, accurate crosses with a flick of the outside of their boot. Irsquo;ve got a team full of Cancelos and all my forwards are Tim Cahill mixed with Peter Crouch.

HyperMotion2 is the big addition in 23, an upgrade on HyperMotion introduced last year. Part of this is the tighter dribbling, which oddly encourages more open pace-based dribbling over technical ability. There also a new power shot which sees players line up their efforts then drive it home with force. Unfortunately the way the game slows down and zooms in makes it feel like Mario Strikers, and is a little too far from realism. It is a decent addition to your arsenal though, and it very satisfying to see Callum Wilson or Bruno Guimaratilde;es bury it from 25 yards.
