There's way more on Career Mode to come in this article, but here's a nice initial observation. Some of the new cutscenes that play before matches are a stunning reminder of just how good EA can be when they throw themselves head-first into presentation and start getting excited.

Seeing fans mingle outside the ground ahead of kick off, of your ground staff work on the turf earlier in the day, is the kind of thing FIFA needs more of. The devs could easily take this to the next level in EA Sports FC next year. Why not? It gives your Career way more of an immersive feel overall.

That's surely a big part of the experience.

One would say that the Beta is obviously unfinished, so some flags held aloft had glitching messes of code instead of player faces or slogans, but that's to be expected. Generally, the presentation has been upped in FIFA 23, which is lovely to report.
