FIFA 22 Beta: 10 Hands-On First Impressions
8. Tweaking Sliders Is A Must
Here's a top tip.
Visit this site, dip into the options menu (yes, even on the Beta) and adjust the gameplay sliders accordingly. Then, dive into the camera settings, change to "Broadcast" and have at it. That, dear readers, is a surefire way to squeeze more realism out of your FIFA 22 experience.
Konami loyalists will spot parallels with PES immediately after doing this, and that's hardly a bad thing. In fact, as any Pro Evolution nut will tell you, this is the way football video games are meant to be played. After running tests, and comparing it with FIFA's ping-pong gameplay, it's genuinely hard to argue.
Some patient gamers have done a sterling job of making FIFA 22 more realistic already. OK, so this won't suit everybody (some people like those arcade-ish goalfests), but there's no harm in giving the slider adjustments a try.
You never know - you might never go back to EA's defaults.
