-

FIFA 22 will be a football simulation video game published by Electronic Arts as part of the FIFA video game series. 

It will be the 29th instalment in the FIFA series. It will be released on 1 October 2021 for Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles. There will be enhanced versions released for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and Google Stadia. Watch a video of some gameplay in the video below. 

New features of this latest instalment 

The Career Mode allows you to create a club and lead them from relegation candidates to global giants. The overhauled Player Career experience gives you more ways to progress, achieve, and immerse yourself in your Pro’s journey through the game. 

EA Sports also talk about true ball physics. It says on their website: "Real-world data imported into FIFA 22 takes the game’s ball physics to a new level of realism. Tuned parameters including speed, swerve, air drag, air resistance, ground friction, and rolling friction mean every touch, trap, shot, volley, pass, and dribble will look, move, and fly like the real thing."

Ultimate Team news

Ultimate Team on FIFA 22 has redesigned Division Rivals and FUT Champions to create a more accessible way to test your skills and progress against other players, gives you even more ways to make your club your own with new depths of customisation both on and off the pitch. 

The game will also introduce FUT Heroes - the return of some of football’s most memorable players. The video below explores FUT Heroes in much more detail.

Do you remember the first time?

The first-ever version of FIFA was released on 15 December 1993. At this time, the game was ground-breaking. It used isometric technology, instead of 16-bit style which was popular at the time.

This version didn't use real player names and only featured national teams. The game contained a bug that allowed you to score goals by standing in front of a goalkeeper and also running away from referees to avoid getting a card. It was released on the SNES and SEGA Megadrive.

It's time to for another sliding doors moment in football  We travel back to 2004. Manchester United face Porto in the last-16 of the Champions League.  Author - Liam C What actually happened? A ontroversial offside call against Paul Scholes became a pivotal moment in European football history. The disallowed goal cost United a place in the quarter-finals, while Porto, managed by the up and coming manager José Mourinho, went on to win the competition and launch Mourinho into the managerial elite. But what if Scholes hadn’t been ruled offside? How might this alternative scenario have changed the landscape of world and European football? Scholes wasn’t offside: United progress Had the linesman not flagged Scholes for offside, Manchester United would have progressed to the next round of the Champions League. Scholes' goal was legitimate, and had it stood, United would have won the tie on aggregate, knocking out Porto and ending their European dreams. With the Red Devils moving

There has been a managerial change at Old Trafford. Manchester United have sacked manager Erik ten Hag due to the club's disappointing start to the season. Author - Olivia T Ten Hag's last match ended in a 2-1 defeat against West Ham , leaving the club in 14th place in the Premier League with only three wins from their first nine matches. The Red Devils are also 21st of 36 teams in the Europa League league stage, having drawn their three opening matches. Club sources from the club have reportedly suggested that this was a difficult decision but a unanimous one among all the key decision makers.  The club exercised a one-year extension in Ten Hag's contract after their FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May . However, just over three months later, he has been dismissed. United currently sit on 11 points after nine games, marking their second-lowest tally in the Premier League at this stage (only slightly better than the 10 points they had in the 2019-20 season)

Kilmarnock 1 - 0 Rangers Rangers remain six points behind the Premiership leaders after suffering a late defeat against Kilmarnock at Rugby Park. Author - Mark Lee In a lacklustre match, Rangers wasted several opportunities to secure three points. A combination of poor finishing and solid defending from Kilmarnock made it another frustrating afternoon for the Belgian manager. As the game was heading for a draw, David Watson's lob found Marley Watkins, who beat the offside trap and bundled the ball past Jack Butland. The Gers need to regroup quickly ahead of their Europa League match against FCSB on Thursday. Meanwhile, Derek McInnes' team has now moved to seventh place and are just outside the top six on goal difference. A closer look at how Kilmarnock stunned this Rangers side Home form has traditionally been a strength for Kilmarnock , but they had recorded five draws and one defeat in all competitions on their own pitch leading up to this game. ⚽️ Goal of the day: Mar
