FIFA 23 players bash Ultimate Team chemistry system over lack of creativity

FIFA 23 introduces a new chemistry system, and players are not very receptive to the massive change.

Instead of the usualchemistrylines FIFA players grew accustomed to, chemistry no longer works on a number out of 100. Instead, players have individual requirements based on three thresholds; league, country, and club.

The change is one of the largest inFIFAhistory and is sure to take time for players to adjust to. EA advertised the new chemistry system as a way to grant players more freedom when crafting their dream team.

Unfortunately, some FIFA 23 players believe that the system has had an inverse effect, making squad building more “restrictive” than ever.

One playerresponded, “the new chem system requires too much (3 of league or nation) whereas before, only one other player could be enough. It seems sort of strange as it is a huge step back.”

A second userargued, “After playing the beta, it feels like I’m being forced to play certain nations or leagues.”

Players criticized the new system for being overcomplicated and cumbersome when trying to build a squad. Before, players could get full chemistry with just one strong link between players, but in FIFA 23, it could take up to three additional players, if not more.

A third userresponded, “This new system is hilariously convoluted. This is truly an instance where they got Chemistry right the first time.
