The positive is that it appears EA took note of my requests for an enhanced Volta Arcade

Set pieces require the ability to grasp the fundamentals of FUT 23 Coins Physics, with the game giving you complete control of exactly where the ball is struck by the player. It's easier to grasp on corners than free-kicks where it is necessary to be more precise in order to be successful, but it has more logic than the odd stick-flicking mechanic that was used in FIFA 22. Penalties have also been revamped by introducing a new time-based system that places more pressure on the players as they should work.

It is the first time that Volta Football and Pro Clubs have been combined into one neat section, and they coincidentally both suffer from similar issues. We all know that hell isn't just for other people and nowhere is that more evident as in Pro Clubs, where drop-in games are awash with wingsmen who overpower the AI with absurdly sloppy calls to play the ball. It's enjoyable to build your"creative" goal-maker with a closet of snarky hats but when your progress is tied to your in-game rating, you're expected to make a flurry of skill actions that even Saint Maximin wouldn't bother with.

Unfortunately, FIFA's street soccer car, Volta, suffers a similar fate. The proof is in the new "Take Flight" Signature Ability that transforms you into an aerial expert. Since the power is based on working together and crossing the ball, the majority players simply pick Power Strike and haphazardly smack the ball after a glory-seeking run.

The positive is that it appears EA took note of my requests for an enhanced Volta Arcade, so I take full credit for the fact that it has recently been upgraded into an exciting battle royale mode with fun minigames and obstacle buying FIFA 23 Coins courses that are reminiscent of the best of Fall Guys. It's still a bit risible being only open on the weekends, though.
