Alright, so I wanted to mess around with Haaland in FIFA 23. I’ve heard so much about how overpowered he is, so I figured, why not give it a shot myself?
First, I jumped into a quick Kick Off match. Just a standard game, nothing fancy. I picked Manchester City, obviously, and set the difficulty to something manageable – I think it was Professional. Didn’t want to get completely destroyed while I was figuring things out.
My initial plan was simple: get the ball to Haaland. I mean, that’s the whole point, right? So I started passing it around, trying to work my way up the field. I noticed pretty quickly that his pace is insane. Like, seriously fast. Defenders just couldn’t keep up.
- First attempt: I tried a through ball. He outran everyone, no problem, but I messed up the shot and it went wide. Classic me.
- Second attempt: This time I tried a long shot. He has very good long shot attribute, so power shot straight at the goal post!
- Second attempt: I got him into the box, tried a little finesse shot, and bam! Goal! It felt so easy, it was almost unfair.
I kept playing, just feeding him the ball whenever I could. I experimented with different types of shots – headers, volleys, you name it. He’s pretty good at everything. I even managed to score a few goals from outside the box, which was surprising.
My Overall Impression
Honestly, he’s as broken as everyone says. It’s kind of ridiculous. I ended up winning the match like 5-1, and Haaland scored four of the goals. It’s fun for a bit, but it also feels a little cheap. Like, you don’t even have to try that hard. Still, it was a fun experiment to see just how dominant he can be in the game. I probably won’t use him every game, but it’s good to know I have a cheat code in my back pocket if I need it.
