The tricks you need to master to beat the best players.

Learning skill moves in FIFA 22, whether you are playing Ultimate Team or not, can make the difference between narrow defeat and thrilling victory. The very idea of skill moves can sound a little off-putting and complicated (what’s wrong with a bit of pass and move?) but you don’t need to perform pad-shredding feats of dexterity to add a couple of neat tricks to your gameplay. Here are some of the most effective in FIFA 22.

‘FIFA 22’: How to win FUT Champions Playoffs and Finals

Qualification can be tough, so maximize your chances with our guide!

FUT Champions has traditionally been the pinnacle of competitive play, but in FIFA 22 that’s no longer the case. That mantle falls to the new Elite Division of Rivals, around which EA now expects the very best to coalesce. But FUT Champions is still here, and this year it has had a makeover, with mixed results.

Qualifying is much easier and it takes less time overall to participate. The competition is now structured in two phases, Playoffs and Finals. The rewards are better, but only if you can make it past the Playoffs stage. We’ll do our best to help.

‘FIFA 22’ vs ‘eFootball 2022’: Which one’s better? The (not so close) virtual soccer race

There’s a clear winner here.

Every year soccer fans have only one question: FIFA or PES? Which game’s the best? In 2021, this question is just slightly different, as Konami thought it’s a good idea to change the franchise’s name – a move EA is apparently mulling over, too. But the core question stays the same: is FIFA 22 better than eFootball 2022, or vice versa? Virtual soccer has always been a tough challenge to pull off, but this time the answer might be a little easier, though.

To be honest, soccer fans can’t say they’re 100% satisfied with either FIFA 22 and eFootball 2022. EA’s game has an unrealistic pace that makes it feel more like a flipper sim than a soccer simulation, and its Premier League inspiration doesn’t really serve as a good excuse. Konami’s eFootball, on the other hand, is way too slow and suffers from a number of technical issues, ranging from its cheap AI to some often incomprehensible referee decisions.

So, FIFA has tried and offered an improvement upon its usual weaknesses with its first true next-gen chapter, but the new game’s DNA is still the same. With a comparable stubbornness eFootball 2022 is pretty close to how soccer is played in the Italian Serie A, but has so many and longstanding flaws, it gets annoying before you can get any fun out of it.

‘FIFA 22’ review: Spectacular soccer action, but is it truly next-gen?

Next-gen soccer is here, or is it?

With the release of next-gen consoles, it often happens that gaming enthusiasts expect sports video games to be the ones to prove their technical prowess. That’s partly why FIFA 22 has been so anticipated by fans.

EA Sports had already provided a solid update to last year’s iteration, showcasing next gen’s muscles for the very first time. However, now’s the time to take full advantage of that potential, not only for aesthetics but especially for what matters the most – gameplay.

The game has been on point when it comes to spectacular action for a while now, while missing the point of what soccer is all about. Did EA nail it this time? Let’s have a look in our FIFA 22 review.

[mm-video type=video id=01fgm7dm6gag8q4pwpsp playlist_id=none player_id=none image=https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/video/thumbnail/mmplus/01fgm7dm6gag8q4pwpsp/01fgm7dm6gag8q4pwpsp-72b98852d9234fc8de382916dcd336c6.jpg]

FIFA 22’s biggest risers and fallers: Whose overall rating changed the most this year?

Cristiano lost a point.

Soccer. The ol’ gridiron. A good walk spoiled. There’s the version that happens inside stadiums, and another manifestation, just as real to us at the moment, that takes place on our OLEDs. A symphony of deft right stick waggles, perfectly weighted trigger presses, and furious cutscene skipping that’s kept us enthralled in FIFA’s ecosystem for decades. Anyway, listen, the new one’s nearly out.

And that means a fresh chance to scrutinize the overall ratings and use EA’s player database as a bellwether for the form of world soccer’s elite. Not to mention giving us an irresistible chance to complain that a beloved player from our own team who, hand on heart, we know isn’t better than a 79 has failed to attain a 90-plus. Shelvey not rated as highly as Mbappé? Insult. Get it right EA. 

So, then: this game’s biggest OVR risers and fallers. We’re using FIFA’s official FIFA 22 and FIFA 21 databases, and taking the latest values from 21 – so although the likes of Lacroix jumped from 66 to a 79 based on his first appearance in FIFA 21, in actuality he’s currently a 78 in last year’s game so it’s only a one-point increase. 

Claro? Claro. Bring out the players!
