First impressions are often misleading, and FIFA 23 should be very grateful for that. A cringeworthy introductory sequence lets you create your “avatar” for this year’s game, and includes the worst performances by Thierry Henry and David Beckham you’ll ever see. Neither are actors, that much is apparent, so thank goodness FIFA 23 feels incredible on the pitch so far.

Pretentious nonsense aside, even though it’s too early to be talking about how good FIFA 23 might be in the long run, a few hours on the pitch is so promising, that it’s enough to have me sweaty-palmed after a 2-2 draw ****ween Liverpool and West Ham. A friendly that I (as Liverpool) immediately dominated, going 2-0 up thanks to a Jota tap-in and a Thiago curler into the bottom corner. Complacency is easy when you’re dominating possession 60-40, so substitutions are made: I’ve broken the team flow of my own volition. Oh hubris…

It finishes 2-2, and West Ham has thrown the kitchen sink at a backline that’s exhausted, but I’m too scared to change. Truth be told, it’s a single friendly match I picked two random Premier League teams for, just see how the game plays. Yet I’m exhausted, crumpled on the sofa in a sweaty mess, mulling over what’s just happened. Every match can’t be like this, can it?

Well no, obviously not. These are two teams that are well known and play a certain way, but it’s replicated ****ter here than I’ve ever seen in a football game before. The players have personality, locomotion, and they feel like they are on the pitch, but not stitched to the grass. The ball feels alive, and when you mishit a pass, it17;s your fault, not the game. Whether or not all of this will extend to Wrexham vs. Bolton, I17;m not yet sure.

Coins are an important aspect of FIFA 23 and are necessary for players to build and strengthen their squads. The more coins a player has, the more they can invest to get ****ter players and improve their chaances of success on the virtual court.
