Fan Reactions to the FIFA 23 trailer
It didn’t take much time for the FIFA game trailer to go viral. However, the fans were divided into two parts after its reveal.

Y’all wasted so much resources on women game modes and gameplay when rarely anyone plays womens games on fifa.. all that time should’ve been put into making the game better and more enjoyable where it really matters (gameplay), better career mode, better pro clubs, but no 🤦🏽♂️

The players will also be having updated faces along with the new ratings based on their latest performances. And not to forget, the game will feature the team kits and squad lists for the 2022/23 season. It would also feature a World Cup mode. However, the biggest selling point for the game is Women’s Football.
FIFA 23 would be the first game to feature Women’s Leagues. In the past, the Women’s National teams were the best that had been featured. Further, the Chelsea and Australian soccer player Sam Kerr featured on the FIFA 23 cover alongside the Frenchman and Paris Saint Germain striker Kylian Mbappe.
