STEAM DECK USERS can't play FIFA 23 on the deck because of the EA kernel-level anti-cheat software that detects Proton / SteamOS as "hacks", sort of. The only way to have it working is installing Windows 10 on the deck, which is bad news cause the overall performance gets worsened on the deck with Windows.

And why does it even have a kernel-level anti-cheat, if the FUT transfer market isn't shared with us PC players? If you're on console, the market is shared between ALL the consoles: ps4, ps5, X1, XsX & XsS. But we PC players are excluded & can only trade between us.
A kernel-level anti-cheat has way higher privileges then it should & having it installed is like having a hole in your PC's security that can be exploited by viruses. Now have in mind EA will be on charge... what could go wrong? Here's a video explaining this & its consequences in depth.

Putting that aside: This game lays off a foundation on which they should build upon in the following game. It's a step in the right direction compared with the last title, since at least now we got Hypermotion2 & crossplat for the first time in PC, but sadly there are aspects to improve (+ tons of bugs).

• You can't play Volta online with your friends like you play online friendlies, leaving a massive mode (volta) to be played only against bots. Horrible decision.
  
• If you enable "listen to music while on gameplay" (which allows you to listen to FIFA songs INSTEAD of the commentators) you WON'T be able to skip songs while you're playing a match & you'll have to wait until the match is finished in order to skip the song. Also, no songs in online modes. For some reason is just plain silence for me.
  
• EA has DISABLED "Remote Play Together", so you won't be able to invite your friends & play remotely, instead each one of you will have to pay $60. (Note that game publishers in Steam have the ability to enable or disable this).
  
• The mouse cursor hides itself at the center of the screen but in some instances it's still functional, meaning that if you're trying to select an option located on the edges, it won't let you & you'll think your controller is unresponsive, but is just the invisible mouse in the middle. So you'll have to move it away in order to be able to select the other options. You can reproduce this issue going into FUT > Moments.
  
• If you have 2 controllers & want to play split-screen, both players should use the same button layout. None of you can use different control settings because if one is different, it will overwrite the other player controller settings. This happens to some users since FIFA 21 across all platforms, yet it has never been addressed by EA, which tells us they only care about FUT.
  
• After scoring a goal, the ball keeps rolling even if the player takes it with their hands as a celebration.
  
• The "classic" button scheme has been remapped, which doesn't affect me but I'm just mentioning it for those who care: LB+RB has been changed to "power shot". To execute a "Low Driven shot" you should gently press B and release it asap. LT+B does an outside foot shot if you're running.
  
• Sometimes your controller & camera settings won't get saved after closing & opening the game, it's a pain having to set it up every single times.
  
• Australia women's national team has been removed.

There's a 10-hour trial of this new FIFA 23 on Xbox PC GamePass ($1 the 1st month)[www.xbox.com], & the whole game will be added to PC GamePass 7-9 months after its launch day (May-July 2023) like when they've added Fifa 22. So you should go try it. If 10hs aren't enough, you can buy EA Play Pro ($15 a month) & you'll get to play the whole game for 30 days, all the hours you want. Personally I would recommend waiting till the game hits $30, only then I'd buy it.
