A: No. Ultimate Team mode is available in every single edition.
A: No. Ultimate Team mode is available in every single edition.

Q: Should I buy FIFA 22?
A: The first question everyone should do is if they are going to buy FIFA 22 or not. If you are reading this guide, it is because you probably already made that decision. In fact, only you know how important is money, and if it is well spent in FIFA 22 or not. The best we can do is to explain what we think about the buy.
In our opinion, if you are a FIFA fan you definitely should buy FIFA 22. However, you can expect a game with the usual issues, like slow servers and lots of bugs. On the other hand, if you are a casual player and you are looking for a football/soccer simulation video game, FIFA 22 is still a good choice. You have to choose between FIFA and PES and it looks that the EA’s title is still much better than Konami’s video game. If you are not a football fan, then there are many other games that can make you much happier than this one.

Q: Which edition should I buy?
A: If you usually do not play the Ultimate Team mode, you should choose the standard edition and save some money. Many will say to you to pick the Ultimate Edition, but we have a different opinion. We know that FIFA Points, the 4-days early access and the free OTW and Hero items are really tempting but they not worth the extra money.
