First, here you need to create a character that can be both a man and a woman. Next, you need to play football and upgrade the characteristics of your avatar. Between matches, it is often suggested to practice and work out one or another aspect of the game. By completing various tasks, you can open new equipment. By the way, it seems that its quantity and variety has increased compared to FIFA 20.
The plot itself is present here only as a formal explanation of why the street team travels to tournaments that take place in different parts of the world. Despite the triviality of the story, it contains such legends of the past as Thierry Henry and Kaka, as well as a glimpse of Lampard, Schmeichel and Zidane. Actually, you can get them to your team, winning various tournaments after the end of the story.
Otherwise, this regime resembles last year’s. Fighting various teams, you can add one of the defeated players to your squad. This approach encourages you to oppose a stronger rival, because in this way, in a few hours, you can collect good football players and play for your own pleasure not only with artificial intelligence, but also with other gamers from the network.
As before, the matches differ in the number of athletes in the squad. The style of play and some other nuances depend on this. For example, in the 3v3 variation, there is more room and opportunity to play one-on-one. Dribbling here works much easier than in the main modes, and given that this element has become faster, then Volta can be played very nicely and spectacularly without much effort. In 4v4 and especially 5v5 matches, there is less room for maneuver, so here you often have to rely on short transfers and count each trick or trick based on the position in space and the surrounding rivals. Some courts have fences, in which case the ball goes out-of-bounds only when flying over them, which opens up the possibility for “billiard” passes with the calculation of a ricochet or makes it possible to beat the opponent using a wall.
Volta mode in FIFA 2023 feels more holistic. Perhaps in the future it will become as integral to the series as Ultimate Team. Personally, though, I’d really like to see a full-fledged Volta-based game.
