The latest Fifa are the worst ever

What are the best Fifa games from the very first chapter released in 1993 to the last one in 2022? This year was the last title before the change of the name to EA Sports FC which will declare the end of the historic agreement between Electronic Arts and the international football federation in 2023. To give a ranking of the most popular video games, a possible answer comes from the reviews on the popular IMDb portal published by gamers in the last twenty-five years, based on the thirty-seven titles produced by EA so far. And surprises are not lacking.

Thanks to the work of Odds-Comparison.com, it turns out that the most loved Fifa game was Fifa 13 released in 2012 with an overall score of 8.1 out of 10 to reward a significantly improved graphics with the previous version and an excellent online counterpart. The two chapters Fifa Soccer 12 of 2011 and Fifa 14 of 2013 reached 8 points out of 10, thanks to a balanced mix of graphics, simulation and in-game function. It is quite emblematic how all the most recent releases occupy the lower part of the ranking with the latest Fifa 22 released in the penultimate position at 5 just below Fifa 20 of 2019 and above all the worst Fifa game according to IMDb users or Fifa 21. The 2020 title was very little appreciated due to the suboptimal controls on the players and the deficiencies of the defenders. But what really doesn't go down to the players of the last editions is the suspicion that, especially in the FUT mode, artificial intelligence tends to favor pay-to-win dynamics.

Here is the complete ranking:

It is worth noting that even Fifa Mobile, born to be played on smartphones, did not hit users at all, who gave it average ratings of 5.9, just below pass.
