We have borne decades of whining about how FIFA never really changes enough to warrant a new game. But, sales for the game are ever-increasing at its peak, selling over 20 million copies. If you expect the best FIFA game of the series, we ask you to temper your expectation. Instead, FIFA 23 is the amalgamation of everything right and wrong with the series in one game.

Why stop now?

Predictably, the FIFA organisation got a little greedy, doubling their licensing fee to a rumoured $ 1 billion. So next year onwards, EA (Electronic Arts), the company that owned FIFA will continue the game under a new brand, EA Sports FC. It is also rumoured that FIFA might shop the franchise to other developers, which would create interesting competition in the football space, considering there is already a Pro-evolution soccer AKA e-Football PES. The good news is EA still has its licensing deal with around 19,000 players, 700 teams, and around 30 leagues which mean championship trophies will be part of the game, but the World Cup will not.
