They also had much more success at blocking shots on goal, and these blocks looked more realistic than in the past. made smarter decisions, blocked more effectively, and positioned themselves based on how the play was shaping up. During my hands-on time, I noticed the A.I. movement this year that better complements the pace and style of Volta. The focus is still on keeping the experience fast and fun, but you can expect A.I. For FIFA 21, the mode is getting a lot more focus and attention, but is it enough? Here’s what we discovered after several hands-on matches and a presentation detailing EA’s vision for Volta Football.

Of course, some will still make 'Ronaldo-goal' their game plan with the Red Devils - and that's totally understandable. The arguable GOAT isn't alone in making United a tantalising option for FIFA 22 players, though he's joined by the midfield wizardry of Bruno Fernandes and Paul Pogba, as well as fellow summer arrivals Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane. Sticking Cristiano Ronaldo in any team would instantly enhance your FIFA experience - and his return to the club where he made his name has enhanced their team.įIFA 22 New FUT icon cards revealed ahead of the new game In FIFA 22, only Messi is rated higher than Lewa (92) - while Bayern can claim another 90+ star in Manuel Neuer, who's one of the more 'playable' goalkeepers on the game. The prolific Pole is already into double figures for the season, having found the back of the net 48 times during the previous campaign - numbers which, aptly, feel like they belong in a video game. If you like your FIFA with goals, you don't want to look much further than Bayern - and specifically a certain Robert Lewandowski.

It's just a shame animated Jurgen Klopp isn't quite as, well, animated on the touchline as actual Jurgen Klopp. The Reds are seriously entertaining to watch - as they reminded us of in their thrilling 3-2 Champions League win over AC Milan - so it follows that they're one of the best sides to pick on FIFA 22.įIFA 21 tips 10 attacking tips to help you win - by using principles of real players and managersĪlisson, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk, Andy Roberston, Mo Salah and Sadio Mane all rank among the top 20 Premier League players on the latest edition of the game.

Three of them - Thibaut Courtois, Casemiro and Karim Benzema - make the top five with ratings of 89. Of the ten highest rated LaLiga players on FIFA 22, five belong to Real. N'Golo Kante is the Blues' highest rated player on the game, so bossing the midfield should be a breeze - and Jorginho adds a little bit of excitement to penalty-taking (although that could easily turn into an overwhelming urge to hurl your controller at the nearest wall). His rating of 88 feels a touch low, but it still puts him among FIFA 22's finest front men.įIFA 22 Who are the commentators in the game? Chelseaįrom one elite number 9 to another: Romelu Lukaku has made FIFA-world Chelsea a hell of a lot more exciting. The 18-year-old's extraordinary talent means he won't be sticking around with BVB for much longer - and nor will Haaland, so enjoy having them on the same team while you can. In fact, Erling Haaland alone would have been enough justification - the best young striker in the world is so terrifying largely because performs like he's being controlled by someone playing FIFA with the difficulty set to Beginner.īut there's also the small matter of Jude Bellingham: star of the future for England and star of right now for his club.
