Currently, FIFA 22 is included in PS Plus, and you should give the game a chance – whether you are a newcomer or a returning player. We show you 5 reasons why you should definitely download FIFA 22 on your PS4 or PS5.
FIFA should probably be a term known to anyone who has something to do with video games. The football simulation is released annually with new squads, improved graphics, new animations, enhanced modes, and gameplay upgrades.
Now there is the current (really good) series installment in PS Plus, and we tell you why you should try it out.
1. There’s something for everyone among the numerous modes
These modes are available: Whether you prefer to play alone, compete against other FIFA players, or go for goals with a friend, FIFA 22 truly has something for everyone.
You can grab a club in Career Mode and act as a manager to sign your favorite players and try to lead your club to the top of the league. Or you can create your own player in Player Career, control only this one, and attempt your luck at a club of your choice.
In FIFA 22, VOLTA brings back street football. In this mode, you can compete online as well as offline in small fields with just a handful of players and have a gaming experience that is much more arcade-oriented.
However, the main reason to play FIFA is likely the various online modes. Because there, the rule is:
2. FIFA 22 is perfect for those who want to compete with others
If you like to play competitively and want to fight your way to the top of the leaderboards, then FIFA 22 has the right modes for you with Online Seasons or Ultimate Team.
In Online Seasons, you can simply choose from licensed clubs and play your way from League 10 to the top. This can even be done with another player, which adds a special appeal. Because competing for victories and worrying about promotion or relegation is particularly fun when playing together.
It’s also competitive in Ultimate Team. Here, you collect so-called FUT cards and create your own team from current and former top stars. This is particularly challenging at the beginning of a FIFA season because there are not many top cards available and the prices for the best players are correspondingly high.
However, things are different now: There are tons of top cards that don’t cost many coins or can simply be earned through tasks.
3. Now is the perfect time to start with Ultimate Team
Currently, it’s a really good time to take a look at Ultimate Team. Because rarely has one been able to assemble a top team for so few coins. The prices for many cards are at rock bottom, and the big Team-of-the-Season event ensures that prices continue to fall.
So check out Ultimate Team and put together a strong starter team and compete in Division Rivals to earn rewards in the form of card packs. However, if you are after the best rewards, you should qualify for FUT Champions.
Here are a few really strong gold cards to start with:
4. Got friends? Fire up FIFA 22
What has always distinguished FIFA is the fun of competing against friends on your own sofa. And that hasn’t changed in FIFA 22. Here, you can play with up to 4 players simultaneously, organize tournaments, or just play 1v1.
Additionally, there is a selection of fun modes like Surprise Ball, where the ball grants the player various abilities like maximum boost or maximum shot. Or Survival, where after each goal, a player gets sent off. In these modes, realism is set aside, and fun takes center stage, which can provide a lot of enjoyment on the sofa with friends.
5. Be sure to try Pro Clubs with your friends
Since FIFA 22 is currently included in PS Plus, your PlayStation friends likely also have PS Plus and thus access to the game. It’s a great opportunity to try Pro Clubs together. There, you will create a club together, where each of you controls an individual player and you form a team together. The more friends you can rally, the more fun Pro Clubs will be.
You earn experience points, improve your player, and try to climb up in the various leagues. It guarantees exciting football evenings with friends on the console.
