The FIFA 23 Coins TOTW 4 predictions had to be a little bit more complex than the previous set of guesses, with only one hat-trick scored in the football game's top leagues. This means that the significance of certain players' performances, and not the raw numbers, will no doubt be able to justify their inclusion into the Team Of The Week, given the amount of tension in the last few minutes of the biggest matches across Europe.It is the first time that Volta Football and Pro Clubs have been put together into one neat section, and they coincidentally both suffer from similar issues. As we've all heard, hell is not just other people and nowhere is that more evident than in Pro Clubs, where drop-in games are brimming with players on the wings who are able to overwhelm AI with bizarre calls to throw the ball. It's fun to transform your"create-a-pro" into a Shrek goalie with a wardrobe packed with silly hats but when your progression is tied to your current rating, you're forced to perform dispossessing skill move routines that Saint-Maximin himself wouldn't take on.
Unfortunately, FIFA's street football automobile, Volta, suffers a similar fate, epitomised by the new 'Take Flight' Signature Ability, which transforms you into an aerial maestro. Because the power relies upon crossing and teamwork, most just pick Power Strike and haphazardly smack the ball on the back of a stunning run.
The positive is that it appears EA has listened to my pleas for an enhanced Volta Arcade, so I acknowledge the fact that it has become an exciting battle royale version of silly minigames and obstacles that remind me of the best of Fall Guys. Still, I think it's unfair the fact that this game is only accessible on weekend days, however.
Quelle surprise, Ultimate Team has received the most attention, and the team-training mode I've been looking for has arrived through FUT Moments. Moments gives you bite-sized portions of FIFA gameplay that reward players with challenging challenges that test your body and discover how various cards can work together.
It's still early days, but there's tantalising scope to follow the career of players and recreate the most memorable moments from football history with this kind of mode. The current collection contains highlights from the great times of Jurgen Klopp as well as Kylian Mbappe, but in next year's game it'd be fascinating to see what buy FIFA 23 Coins team can create with other legends of football like Pele and "King" Kazuyoshi Miura.
