In FIFA 23 you can carry out the World Cup online, but it’s not exactly realistic. Because 2 nations are just so good that everyone picks them.
Besides the contents for FUT, the new World Cup mode in FIFA 23 offers the opportunity to conduct the World Championship online. For this, you choose a nation and start directly in the round of 16 against a random online opponent in your region. If you win, you advance to the quarter-finals and so on.
But if you win a few games, it quickly becomes apparent that something must be wrong. You do not encounter the different 32 World Cup participants. No, if you progress in the World Cup mode, you almost exclusively see two teams: Brazil and France.
France and Brazil cause curious world championships
Why is everyone picking these nations? Probably many choose these teams because they have the supposedly best individual players. Both nations have absolute superstars like Mbappé (91), Kanté (87), Benzema (91), Neymar (91), Vinicius Jr. (86), Casemiro (90), and Alisson (90).
Of course, many simply want to play with the best players. Another reason could be that the World Cup mode finally introduced a fully licensed squad for the Brazilian national team. Previously, there was only a Brazil team with generic players among the normal national teams.
Here, a lethal_breach on reddit shows that he encountered Brazil three times on his way to the finals, which would be absolutely unrealistic in a real World Cup.
This is what the community says about the situation: On reddit the issue is being discussed, and we have gathered a few voices for you.
- Jealous_Foot8613: “That’s the same as in the season mode, everyone picks PSG.”
- ellisisbae4: “I’m trying to win the tournament with Canada! It’s very hard, I have already lost several finals against Brazil and France.”
- chukaluk: “Because it is the first time in years that Brazil is represented with the real team in FIFA.”
- trupes: “Some people just have more fun when they win.”
- COMMUNISM_69: “Just because Brazil is the best team. People are not interested in playing with their own country, they just play the best team.”
