Believe it or not, many FIFA fans aren't actually complaining about FIFA 22 this year. Instead, they're praising it as having the best gameplay in a long time, but they've been clashing with select pro players who have a different view.
We've seen a couple of notable instances of this since release, and the latest example brings pro player SNG ZBM into the mix, who recently took to Twitter to claim FIFA 22 was the "worst FIFA title of all time":
In contrast, fans flocked to social media over the weekend to respond with praise for FIFA 22's more "enjoyable" style of gameplay. For a community that historically has been very negative about the series, this is quite the turnaround:
We reviewed FIFA 22 for Xbox Series X earlier this month and found it to be a refreshing breath of fresh air for the franchise, proving slightly slower and allowing for more varied gameplay styles compared to last year. There are still weak points, of course, but calling it the "worst FIFA title of all time" certainly is a bit of a stretch in our view.
Then again, the new style of gameplay won't suit everyone, and there are certainly players who aren't so keen. SNG ZBM's tweet ended up receiving 4000 likes, so there are still plenty who don't consider themselves "fans" this year.
The debate continues to rage on, so what are your thoughts on it? Tell us down below.

Pro players can go suck a lemon.
If one is such a pro at a game, then one should be good enough to adjust to the new gameplay mechanics that were designed for the majority of people who just want to have fun with a game and not designed solely around those who dissect a game down to the individual animation frame level for the sake of trying to make a buck.
@GamingFan4Lyf Pro players loved the Arcadey feel too it. This year its been made much more realistic and more of a challenge.
As a career mode only guy Im loving it makes for a more testing game. The streamers et al who like pulling off daft tricks are hating it.
Fifa 17,18 were the best personally. Last years entry killed it for me.
FIFA's FIFA all the same to me
The guy clearly never played FIFA 64 before
