In these hours, after the launch on Friday 30 September, FIFA 23 suffered a rain of bad reviews by users on Metacritic and Steam. Is it review-bombing or are there several reasons behind this phenomenon?
Steam, at the moment, sees the average of positive reviews standing at only around 30%, with 70% of negative comments. On Metacritic the situation is more serious, since the average rating of users is slowly stabilizing at 2.5. Before reaching any conclusions, however, it is necessary to analyze the matter carefully.
In the specific case of Steam, for example, most of the negative reviews complain of bugs and technical problems, most of which are strictly related to the new anti-cheat system, which is causing a lot of discussion. In the past few hours, between forums and reddit, several users have reported that they are unable to start the game, suffer from complete freezes of the game, and encounter sudden disconnections on the front of online modes.
The question is different with regards to Metacritic, where the complaints instead follow the usual grievances made towards the FIFA formula year after year. In the user reviews, in fact, there is talk of few changes compared to FIFA 22, of more of the same, there is lashing out against the system of microtransactions at the base of FIFA Ultimate Team, in short, the same script is written that accompanies the launch every year. by FIFA.
The fact is that, despite the complaints that accompany the release of FIFA every year, the title continues to impose itself almost unrivaled in the ranking of best-selling video games. That said, it is instead important that EA pays due attention to the problems that have emerged from the anti-cheat system, which are heavily penalizing the experience of PC players.
