The players are at the heart of this new, weightier feel, which is certainly an improvement over last year's hyper-ball, but sometimes it feels like they react too slowly to your commands. There's a new Explosive Sprint (R2 / RT) mechanic but I find it barely makes a difference. Players seemingly take an age to pass or shoot after you've pressed the button. Playing FIFA 22 can sometimes feel like getting 11 tiny oil tankers to run after a pretend football.
