Finally, after however many years, in 2021 I burned out on FIFA. Will never, ever go back. In September, I saw The Show 21 was free in my Game Pass so I downloaded it on a whim. Had never played before but always wanted to try. I played 21 straight through till March 30. I can't believe how much fun content is in here without the need to spend money. I'm older now, don't get long extended stretches to play, but there's a million different options offline. (I'm an atrocious online player.)
Anyway, I was so geeked to play 22 from the very beginning and I'm having fun so far, but I can't believe how negative the tone is on here. Glad to see someone talk about how there is actual fun to be had.
