In the past, I have just pre-ordered when it was available, but after this year i have been left disappointed and won't be doing that again. Will you wait and see what FIFA 23 will be like or just order anyway , and do some of you pay the extra for the ea early access thing, if so is there a good reason ?

    I want to see what the competition is like before getting anything.

    100 percent waiting - servers have got worse and worse- but this year is the straw that broke the camels back for me.
    I always pre-order but not for 23 and won’t be buying until I see some feedback

    Taking a couple years break 100%

    While I love football games

    Fifa just brings out the worst in me
    Efootball is awful
    New games? They will need a year or so to mature.

    Let’s be honest. We’ll all be loading up the 10 hours free trial and throwing on some additional FP to get a head start on the rest (who are also doing the same thing).

    Not me. Spent too much time to trade to get virtual coins who are soon to be worthless.

    Will only get the game around Tots when good cards are distributed in icon swaps rewards

    I’ll buy it soon as available, it’s a video game and I don’t take it serious like some so it’s been absolutely fine for me

    Gameplay has done me in on this one, it’s been by far the worst of the 3 I’ve played (20,21&22). Going to find something more useful to do with my spare time.

    Yeah I'll be getting it.

    How I see it is that if I stay in a few weekends playing it, that game has paid for itself - No brainer for me. Will try not to load any Fifa points this year, as tempting as it is.

    Have to be honest I've really enjoyed this year... played it a ton from start to February and then had a few month off and am back again for more... had good gameplay all year. I'll be going again next year and I was ready to quit after 21.

    Going to play different this year and not worry so much about trading... was painful this year and not worth the hassle. I usually just have 1 team and try to make it the best it can be but I'm going to do minimal trading this year and keep a team for each league, even if I end up with fairly average teams all year, so be it.

    Not getting caught up in the fruitless chase.

    Easy to say. I started the year with the aim to have 1 good team and went way beyond that. The trading aspect is more addictive than playing for me.

    What is the point?

    The game during trial hours may be brilliant, the best one yet. However during the following weeks the patches start, then the game exploits will be exposed and the 'meta' discovered. The game then slowly descends into nonsense as player numbers ramp up and servers struggle. EA's money grab tactics increase rapidly, rewards are underwhelming and players get more and more frustrated as the year progresses. Engagement requirements ramp up as EA need you playing more and more.

    Each promotion is hyped to hell by the content creators and coin sellers, then we reach the pinnacle of the year....TOTS. The BEST cards in the game, FP sales go through the roof and hype reaches the max level possible at Ultimate TOTS. Then one week later most of those TOTS cards are made obsolete by Summer Heat! / Futties / Shapeshifter or whatever promo is there to keep players wanting more.

    PIM SBC's dumped in the final month, and (last year) the 85*10 dropped to kill the transfer market so people don't continue on playing that years game, and move to the new game.

    That's exactly the pattern that has been played out over the past few years, nothing has changed. The exact same will happen again. The exact same complaint threads will be written on the forums.

    Definitely not doing it again.

    See you in 23!

    No i wont.
    • I have played pretty much every FIFA since FIFA 10 except for 1 or 2 breaks in between. At this point i know what im gonna get.
    • Early gameplay isnt indivative of how much i will enjoy the game anyways. Early gameplay is always season and much slower than Ultimate Team gameplay. OP tactics and mechanics havent been discovered yet so game will play totally different once those are set anyways.
    • EA patches the game 1 month in anyways.
    • Cant get a feel for the game just from watching gameplay. FIFA is one of those game you have to play yourself to know how it feels to play.

    Nope.
    It's the only game I play.
    Only game I have time to play.
    So definitely will be pre-ordered...hopefully with a PS5.

    I am elite division player around 1900-2000 points from start of the game. But i will not make the mistake to buy fifa 23. it will be trash game like 22. Its the last licenced fifa so they will not make many changes. Wil be copy paste

    I came back to the game in April after a five year break and it’s been fun, but already starting to find the game can be frustratingly inconsistent and that the community for the most part are awful. Definitely not pre-ordering.

    Absolutely not, will pre order fairly early with the promo content.
    It's been great this year, never had any connection issues or delay commonly mentioned, I am sure there is no smoke without fire, but for me It's been enjoyable and ultimately I have players this year I'd never have gotten in previous years. Have really enjoyed the set up.

    Not for me. My plan is that this is my last FIFA. A football game shouldn’t be more rewarding the more you rely on ai (manual drop back defending and pressure tactics). Between that and everyone trying to spam broken mechanics, the player base suck the joy out of the game.

    And the gameplay becomes more unpredictable each year, bounce back in tackling, passing and through balls being utterly random.

    It’s just a hot card collecting mess. It’s been fun, but last one for me.

    Gameplay will never change, I got this edition only because of them hyping about hyper motion thinking it will make a difference…EA is just not capable of making a balance game and the extra BS that comes with it puts me off.

    Nope will pre order no matter what just like the last 10 years. Overall 22 has been better than say 20 and 21 so no reason whatsoever to not get 23.

    No point gameplay will be fine ... then after a few weeks the patches start coming in to destroy. I will wait til it's 11 bucks or free on Gamepass to get 23.
