About FIFA 23
Among all the football games that are in the AAA market like Pro Evolution Soccer, FIFA is by far the most lucrative in terms of sales as it’s quite evident by the consistent releases it gets every year. FIFA 22 bumped up the gameplay mechanics to a more realistic type of football simulation and fluid gameplay, which fans of the series can agree to. Career Mode is fantastic while many found FIFA Ultimate Team disappointing. The latest game is aiming to change that as it features many new things like improved mo-cap animations, a Women’s club team, an intelligent dribbling mechanic, and a lot more.
After running the series for such a long time, EA will continue the game and will go on to establish their own football game without being associated with FIFA. We just have to wait and see how the fate of EA’s football game will turn out.
