Career mode has FIFA 23 Coins undergone revamped visuals to be more consistent with the gameplay, however, it is played largely like before. If you are the player, there are RPG-style points that you can earn by how you conduct yourself on and off the field, plus you can choose to inhabit the body of real-life players and coaches rather than making your own from scratch.

What's less clear is the ongoing attempts by career mode to have you play less football. EA already had added several training components that felt like admin in the past, but now you can opt to watch the highlights of games instead of playing for the entire 90 minutes. When it comes to football, it's slightly baffling.

FIFA might not be the most appropriate game to showcase the power of your console, but there are some neat features that can help increase that sensation of realism a small amount whether it's the way the goal net ripples or the way that sliding tackles cause the field to be cut up over the course of 90 minutes.

EA is determined to promote the effects of its HyperMotion2 motion-capture technology, which lets players' movement appear more realistic. In the past, it's been utilized by females as well as for the males. Although the physical differences are not as obvious as they are when playing with male players, it's an additional step towards making the women's sport feel less like the game of a few.

There's still some way to go. Addition of Women's Super League and France's Division 1 Feminine takes the number of teams up to buy FUT 23 Coins 41 but they're not available to play as in all modes with career mode and FUT the most glaring omissions.
