Unfortunately, FIFA 23 Coins street football vehicle, Volta, suffers a similar fate, epitomised by the new 'Take Flight' Signature Ability that turns you into an aerial maestro. Since the ability is based on working together and crossing the ball, the majority players simply pick Power Strike and haphazardly smack the ball on the back of a stunning run.

The good news is that it seems EA has listened to my pleas for an upgraded Volta Arcade, so I take full credit for the fact that it has now been expanded into an even more intense battle royale game with fun mini-games and obstacles that remind me of some of the best things about Fall Guys. I'm still of the opinion that it's a crime for it to be only offered on Saturdays but.

Quelle surprise, Ultimate Team has received the most attention. And the team-training mode I've wanted to find has finally arrived with FUT Moments. Moments offers bite-size pockets of FIFA gameplay that reward players with rewarding challenges designed to examine your form and understand how different cards play together.

It's still early, but there's tantalising scope to follow the career of players and recreate iconic moments of football's history through this method. The current game includes highlights from golden years of Jurgen Klopp as well as Kylian Mbappe, but in the coming year's game, it would be amazing to see what EA's team can do together with other greats of the game like Pele and 'King' Kazuyoshi Miura.

Additionally, there are major changes to the chemistry system. Chemistry doesn't have to be affected by a player's location in the formation compared to other players, an improvement that allows for greater diversity between nations and leagues. I'm not sure it's going to impact anyone's strategy much However, it's nice that you're able throw in wildcard players and have more options to connect them to top-division players.

Searching for the perfect midfielder to get that "33"-like chemistry feels much like a Squad Building Challenge now, which seems to be deliberate. Squad Building Challenges are a fine way to lose an hour doing nothing, but buy FUT 23 Coins 'sudoku for football nerds' ideal for playing on the companion app, far from Ultimate Team's sluggish menus for consoles.
