A colossal keeper, and proof positive that FUT 23 Coins goalies can individually win your big finals. Did you see a better, more persuasive performance in Courtois' position than that of the Champions League final last season against Liverpool? His shot-stopping doesn't stop just off the pages, he's actually mentally strong, too. If you go back more than 30 years of European football, and you'll struggle to find a better, more powerful keeper.
In the past, Volta Football and Pro Clubs have been merged into one beautiful section, and also share the same problems. The reality is that the worst thing about other people is that they aren't and nowhere is this more apparent than in Pro Clubs, where drop-in games are brimming with wingsmen who are able to overwhelm AI with ridiculous calls to move the ball. It's entertaining to grow your create-a-pro into a Shrek-adjacent goalie with a closet packed with silly hats however, when your progress is tied to your in-game rating, you're incentivised to perform dispossessing skill move runs that even Saint-Maximin wouldn't even bother with.
Unfortunately, FIFA's street-football automobile, Volta, suffers a similar fate. The proof is in the new "Take Flight" Signature Ability that transforms you into an aerial expert. Because it relies on the ability to cross and teamwork, many players simply pick Power Strike and haphazardly smack the ball to celebrate a winning run.
The positive is that it seems EA took note of my requests for an improved Volta Arcade, so I fully credit the fact that it has now been expanded into an exciting battle royale version of silly minigames and obstacles courses that bring back the best elements of 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 highest amount of attention. Additionally, the training mode for teams I've wanted to find has finally arrived in the form of FUT Moments. Moments offers bite-size pockets of FIFA gameplay through enjoyable challenges that allow you to determine your physique and determine how different cards work together.
It's still early but there's huge potential to chronicle player careers and recreate iconic moments of football's history through this mode. The current edition contains highlights from the great times of Jurgen Klopp and Kylian Mbappe. In next year's game, it'd be thrilling to see how EA's team could do with other football legends such as Pele and 'King' Kazuyoshi Miura.
Elsewhere, there are sweeping changes to the process of chemistry. Chemistry will no longer be affected by a player's location in the formation relative to other players, which allows for greater diversity across leagues and nations. I don't think it will alter the strategy of any player however it's great to know that you are able to add wildcard players and have more ways in connecting them with top division players.
Trying to find the perfect midfielder to get that "33" chemistry is very similar to an Squad Building Challenge now, which seems to be deliberate. Squad Building Challenges remain an ideal way to waste some time doing nothing. But EA's'sudoku for football nerds' best played on the app that comes with it, away FIFA 23 Coins for sale from Ultimate Team's unresponsive console menus.
