While the FIFA 22 production description reads: "FIFA 23 Legacy Edition will feature the same gameplay innovation from FIFA 22 without any new development or significant enhancements." It's a fact that EA even admits to (though probably not enough to turn away those that don't know better), with a line tucked away in the FIFA 23 product description that reads: The FIFA franchise's outings on the Nintendo Switch have been a long-running joke in the gaming industry, with each yearly release being little more than a reskin of the year prior.Īnd that has been going on for five years now and remains true for the recently released FIFA 23 Legacy Edition, meaning that the FIFA 23 game that Nintendo Switch users receive is FIFA 19 in all but name, with only superficial changes to kits and up-to-date squads providing any markable difference. FIFA 19, is that you? Answer: Pretty much.

It’s just not good enough.EA has done it again, with FIFA 23's Nintendo Switch game being essentially a reskin of FIFA 19. If you’ve never owned a football game on a console, this is probably the way to go, gameplay is thankfully passable and there is not another out there with such fully comprehensive licensing domination.įIFA 22 on Switch is the latest example of little to no respect being paid towards a fanbase being asked to pay a premium price for a virtually unchanged product. FIFA Ultimate Team comes with: Manager Tasks, Single Player & Online Seasons, Single Player & Online Tournaments, Single Player & Online Draft, Online Single Match, and Squad Building Challenges.Legacy Modes included in the FIFA 22 game will have the same features as FIFA 21: Kick Off, Career Mode, Tournaments, Women’s International Cup, Skill Games, Online Seasons, Online Friendliness, and Local Seasons.It does however come with an updated visual identity having a new design for the in-game front end and menu screens. It doesn’t come with new enhancements and developments. FIFA 22 for the Nintendo Switch comes in the Legacy Edition which offers the game with the gameplay innovation of FIFA 21.
