It's all kicking off
One of our biggest criticisms of MultiVersus during its pre-season Battle Pass was just how glacial progression felt.

News FIFA 23 Collaborates with Marvel for FUT Heroes in Ultimate Team
Comic book card art incoming
For the longest time, one of our biggest criticisms of FIFA Ultimate Team – aside from the obvious – has been the crappy card art. Compare to games like NBA 2K22 and MLB The Show 22 and EA Sports’ soccer sims have some of the worst looking collectible cards on the market. At least with FIFA 23, it’s aiming to...
