EA Games have a reputation for releasing unoptimized games on launch and fans particularly hate it, especially the newly released title, FIFA 23. It brought many fine improvements over the previous title in terms of content, visuals, and next-gen features. However, the poor optimization and bugs made the experience far worse and many people complained about it on Reddit and EA forums.
