FIFA 22 Realism Gameplay X + Attributes

Hello friends, I think i must found the most realistic gameplay combo for FIFA 22 which changes insanely the level of realism ( gameplay in videos ). So basically it is a gameplay mod ( REALISM GAMEPLAY X ) by hatesince97 applied in combo with squads I made myself :
- reduced attributes for mostly all players ( reduced speed, agility, ball control, etc ) and that changes the way the game plays completely for the good ! Check the videos
- ball moves more freely and slower on the pitch ( passes, shots, shoots , etc )

VERY IMPORTANT > You can use this gameplay mod in 2 ways :
a) Realism Gameplay X mod + REDUCED ATTRIBUTES V1 mod > here you want the default FIFA 22 squads, otherwise a crash is possible !
b) ONLY Realism Gameplay X mod + any other mod you wish ( like EEP or something else ).

Below are instructions for option (a) ! For (b) variant just ignore step 2 and use your own squads or patch ....
1. Apply Realism Gameplay X
2. Apply REDUCED ATTRIBUTES V1
3. Check the list order of your mods. It should be as in screenshot !!!!
5. Launch the game via FIFA MOD MANAGER
6. Recommended sliders : are all at 50, except :
Sprint Speed = 49,
Acceleration speed = 49,
Pass Speed = 45,
Marking = 65,
Team Length = 41 !
Of course you can tweak them as you want, these are only my recommendations.
7. Enjoy the game


Additionally I added the eSIM Camreal mod for a better experience ( my settings are > Broadcast camera : height = 12-15 depending on the stadium, zoom = 8-12 )

UPDATE : Career mode works !!!

I’ve been enjoying this. Curious if you’ve modified shooting? I use manual shooting and I find it quite difficult. I need to be very careful with power or I will sky it into the crowd (reminds me of PES6 shooting).

The FIFA 20 and 21 shooting seem to be more powerful and forgiving (which is more enjoyable as I’m banging in more goals). What I don’t know is if this is part of the mod or inherent to the game.

the gameplay mod was created by @hatesince97, but it seems he deleted his account on evoweb. That's why I posted it here so people enjoy it. Answering your question : yes - the shooting mechanics was refined by him to make it more difficult ! This is all I know

Hey mate, will this still work with youth players that come through in career mode?

lower shoots are slow. i buffed grounded shoots.
sometimes goalkeepers cant handle simple shoots. i buffed handling of keepers. may you want to try

Hey @EauRouge are you still modding FIFA 22? If so, could you release a version of the gameplay with slower player movements and animations? I like yours gameplay, but I think the players turn around too quickly with the ball, etc. Also, more fouls would be useful, and the gap in midfield would be closed. The AI CB and CDM move backwards when I run my player down the middle... I know it's difficult to achieve, and every newer FIFA suffers from this issue. And I can confirm: the mod for reducing attributes doesn't work for me either; I get a message that these aren't FIFA 22 files.

beer spilled on my pc. so i dont have pc anymore untill i'll get new one. i'm so sorry. i'm following news from my business laptop
 
Seeing this thread made me reinstall FIFA 22 for the first time in a while. I'm really enjoying FC 26 right now with the FIFER and Anth mods, but when I gave FIFA 22 another shot, I was surprised by how fun it was. Honestly, I'm pretty confused. I've been playing on PC since FIFA 21, and sure, FIFA 22 was the one I put the most hours into — but was it really this good? I'm not using the REDUCED ATTRIBUTES V1 mod because I want to use FIFER's mods, but I'm still on the fence about your recommended setup for getting the most out of it. Either way, I'll enjoy both FIFA 22 and FC 26 side by side for a while!

Mate, don't forget also the sliders they are important part of the gameplay. Mainly the marking & line length one. You can definitely use the Realism Gameplay X ( without reduced attributes) + any other mods. I also try to find a good gameplay for FC26 but it so unbalanced. Players have no weight & gravity. For example, i use the latest Anths James Natural X for FC26 - and is so easy to attack ( CPU AI doesn't cover the flanks at all )

No worries, I've already set up the sliders! Anyway, FC22 is just so much fun — the controls feel really satisfying. But getting the ball into the net isn't easy at all. That weight and gravity on the players... I never thought it would feel this good!
I'm using Anth's mod too — Natural COMPOSED with a few options. It feels pretty solid honestly. But playing FC22 made me realize what you mean about FC26 lacking that weight and gravity. I'm trying all sorts of things to get closer to that feel, but you know how it is — Anth's mods aren't exactly straightforward to configure 😂

Yea mate. I own all of the latest FC & FIFAS and personally :
- My issue with latest FC is the AI being impotent

- FIFA 22 ( modded ) & FIFA 23 ( modded) has the greatest potentials of all of them. FIFA 23 is closer to 22 than to the FC SERIES in terms of mechanics, but with the next gen graphics. I'm trying to tweak a bit the gameplay now to see where it goes

I've been playing since FIFA 21 (modded), but when I actually checked my playtime recently, the ranking was 23 → 22 → 24 → 21 → 25. There was a difference of over 500 hours between 25 and 23. The numbers don't lie, right?


That said, I totally get what you mean — FC26 definitely has its own appeal, no doubt about it. But FC22 is just so good that I'm thinking about tweaking Anth's gameplay settings a bit and starting a new career mode. Though if you tell me FC23 is that good too... I'm in trouble 😂 I won't be able to move on to FC26 at all!
 
Following your commentary, i did also compare the hours spent in FIFA 22 & FC 26 . The diference is insane : check the screenshot attached !
- Why I mention FIFA 23, is because basically is the same mechanics as FIFA 22 but with the next gen graphics. The issue i have with FIFA 23 is that there arent any gameplay mod i tried close to Realism Gameplay X we have for FIFA 22. But i know it is possible to create one - at least something closer to it. Sadly I dont have deep knowledge in modding and guessing the values would take an eternity lol.

- Why I dont enjoy FC 26, FC 25 even modded : the lack of players weight as I mentioned before. It affects mostly all the aspects of the gameplay. Players are moving , turning like some spaghetti in a boilling pot for me - with no gravity laws. For example, take one player and just with your L stick move him around ( 360 degree turning ) : the movements are so akward and quick. I cant believe EA is doing this to us even with AUTHENTIC FEATURES ( thats basically why I bought the game and EA got me on this one more time - again ). Passes & shooting also seems to be more of a predetermined trajectory than the result of a player action. The good thing is that modding community has proven that it can be fixed but also depends deeply on the core & game mechanics. And there the FC titles are downgrading year after year from my point of view


- Would be nice to port the Realism Gameplay X from 22 to 23 but idk if that is even possible

Take a look at my screenshot — even I’m a bit worried about how many hours I’ve put in… but that just shows how much I love this game.
For now, I booted up FIFA 22 again and yeah… it’s just fun. Really fun.

This might not be the case for you, but I absolutely hate generic faces — that’s actually one of the main reasons I use mods. In that sense, FC 26 has definitely improved a lot with generic faces, which is why I want to stick with 26.But at the end of the day — and it sounds obvious — it all comes down to gameplay. I really felt that again this time.

For 23, I remember enjoying Paulv2k4’s gameplay mod — or maybe it was AI MOTION. I played quite a lot with one of those.
But right now, hatesince97’s gameplay is exactly the kind of feel I’ve been looking for.

I’ve tried a ton of different gameplay mods, and I think each of them has its own strengths. I totally get your point, but I’m probably a bit more on the casual side. Still, I do care about gameplay in my own way — because that’s what really keeps me enjoying the game.

Amartingil’s gameplay for FIFA 25 was also amazing.
But I had already moved on to FC 26 by then… still, that one’s been on my mind too.

Right now, I’ve actually started continuing a FIFA 22 career again — I can’t even believe it myself lol.
At the same time, I’m also messing around with FC 26, trying to find my own “sweet spot” using Anth’s gameplay as a base.
FIFA 23… yeah, I’m trying not to think about it for now lol.

Try using only the Realism gameplay mod ( without attributes). It should work flawlessly


- if you want to use also the ATTRIBUTES mode : it should be played with the default vanilla fifa 22 squads. Any other mode that edits the squads or database will conflict .I clearly mentioned this in the description. And must create a new career mode.
