Next-gen football for next-gen consoles

In the discussion, the leaker said:

Player Switching: When defending, pressing R3 lets you choose between 3 of the closest players and they all have an arrow set for the direction you flick R3 towards Can still also use R1 or flick the right stick as normal.

2nd man press: It is nerfed a bit, there’s a little green arrow above the player that is 2nd man pressing and it depletes quickly (3-4 seconds max), soon as it depletes the player’s press isn’t as intense and basically non existent, also pulls your player out of position.

The ongoing COVID pandemic has forced many teams around the world to play their games with the stadiums closed, leading to some memorable and sad images that will remain forever in football history. It will be interesting to see if we can play games in FIFA 22 without any spectators, but what’s for sure is that the game will make many players forget about the older titles from its series.
