The verdict
A well-liked football sim for its gameplay feel and career mode, but dead servers, the EA app and heavy scripting/pay-to-win complaints hurt it. Skip it if you want online play or a hassle-free launch.
Great for
Offline career mode, Volta and couch play with friends, and Linux/Steam Deck players who liked pre-FC FIFA
Main risk
Online servers are shut down and the game may not launch through the EA app.
What players love
Realistic feel, HyperMotion and ball physics
Mentioned in ~1 in 9 positive reviews
“Good, slow gameplay with a tactical focus. Realistic animation, collisions, clearly improved ball physics.”
