What's less clear is career mode's continued attempts for you to play fewer football. FIFA 23 Coins already included many training elements which felt like administration and now you have the option of choosing to watch the highlights of games instead of the full 90 mins. For football games this is a little confusing.

FIFA may not be the best choice to showcase the power of your console, but there are some amazing features which help enhance that sensation of realism a little bit more, whether it's how the goal nets ripple or the way players' sliding actions can lead the field to split over the duration over 90 minutes.

EA is keen to trumpet the positive impact of its HyperMotion2 motion-capture technology that helps players' movements appear more realistic. This year, it's been utilized by women , as well as males, and although the physical differences may be not as evident as they are when playing alongside male players, it's a further step in making women's sports feel less like an unimportant inclusion.

There's more to go, however. The addition of the Women's Super League and France's Division 1 Feminine takes the number of teams to 41, however, they're not yet available to play as in every mode as career mode and FUT being the biggest omissions.

FIFA 23 is more authentic than everbefore but when you're able make a name for yourself as AFC Richmond from Apple TV+'s Ted Lasso, but not as Chelsea or Arsenal's women's team There's clearly some room for improvement.

Many will buy a brand new FIFA game regardless of this review or any other suggests however, for those who are wondering whether it's worth the cost of an additional PS60,FUT 23 Coins is more than a pile of new kits and updated squads.
