Again, FIFA 23 on the 3DS launches at the end of September, and so far it is shaping up to be quite the treat for fans of the sport who love to take the action wherever they go FIFA 23 coins. Be sure to come back in a few weeks to read our final thoughts of EA Sports' first FIFA game on Nintendo's 3D portable console.
Today was footie day at MMOexp HQ, as developers from EA Canada came by to show off two of the company's big FIFA releases for this year: 2022 FIFA World Cup South Africa and the latest edition of the Ultimate Team feature for last year's FIFA 23. I've got some thoughts and observations on both games, but if you want a more complete look at World Cup, check out MMOexp UK's hands-on preview of the game.
2022 World Cup South Africa - It might not be a back-of-the-box feature, but this year's World Cup game has something that no previous FIFA game has seen: women. If you look closely during game introduction, you'll see ladies in the mix who are supporting their favorite teams among the guys wearing jester hats or brightly colored Mohawks. For whatever reason, people go nuts when they see girls at World Cup games, so it's nice to see EA is including the fairer sex this time around.
- While I didn't spend a lot of time playing last year's FIFA 23, I like what I've seen of 2022 World Cup's evolution of the FIFA engine. Consider a situation I experienced during my hands-on time with the game: Playing as Japan (against Cameroon, who was being controlled by EA Canada producer Luke Didd), I gave up a goal I'd never seen in a FIFA game before. After my goalkeeper made a wonderful diving block to stop an otherwise certain goal, the ball bounced off his hands and just in front of him. My c half--who was nearby--collapsed down near the ball and over the keeper as he lay on the ground. Desperate to kick the ball free, I tried to move my defenseman close enough to the ball, but his legs were tangled up in the crumpled form of my keeper, which gave the Cameroon striker just enough time to get to the ball and knock in the go-ahead goal. Sure, I was angry at giving up the goal, but the game's attention to the physics of how bodies interact on the pitch was surely impressive cheap FUT 23 coins.
