How to Speak to FIFA in FIFA 22: A Guide to Voice Commands

FIFA 22 and other FIFA games have continued to evolve, offering more features to enhance the gaming experience. One of the fun and immersive features in FIFA 22 and other recent editions is voice commands, allowing players to interact with the game using their voice instead of just the controller.

In this blog, we’ll guide you through how to use voice commands in FIFA 22, explain how to set it up, and share some useful tips to make the most out of this feature.

Setting Up Voice Commands in FIFA 22

First things first: Before you can start talking to FIFA, you need to ensure that the voice control feature is set up. Here’s how:

1. Ensure You Have a Microphone To use voice commands, you’ll need a microphone. You can use a headset, the built-in microphone on your gaming device (e.g., PS4, PS5, Xbox), or a connected microphone. Make sure the microphone is properly connected and configured to the system.

2. Check the Game’s Settings

   • On PS4/PS5, go to the Settings menu from the main menu of FIFA 22. Scroll down to the Audio Settings.
   • On Xbox, head to Settings from the FIFA 22 menu and then to the Audio section.

3. Enable Voice Commands Look for an option like "Voice Commands" or "Speech Recognition". You may need to enable this feature in the settings. This will activate the voice recognition system and allow you to speak to the game.

Using Voice Commands in FIFA 22

Once you’ve set everything up, you can start using voice commands while playing FIFA 22. Here are some of the most useful and common voice commands you can use during gameplay:

1. In-Game Commands

• "Shoot": Command your player to take a shot at the goal.
• "Cross": This will make your player cross the ball into the box.
• "Tackle": Make your player attempt a tackle on the opposing player.
• "Through ball": This command sends a through ball to a teammate.
• "Change player": Switch to a different player automatically.
• "Defend": Tell your player to defend the ball when under attack.

2. Tactical Instructions

• "Attack": Direct your players to switch to an attacking mentality.
• "Defend": Switch to a more defensive play style.
• "Possession": Focus on holding possession of the ball.
• "Pressure": Apply pressure to the opponent’s player when they have the ball.

3. Pause or Restart the Game

• "Resume": Unpause the game to continue your match.
• "Restart match": Restart the current match.

4. Change Game Settings

Voice Command Tips for Better Control

To ensure that voice commands work smoothly, here are some tips:

1. Clear and Concise Commands: Speak clearly and use short phrases. Avoid long sentences or overly complex commands.

2. Game Mode Compatibility: Voice commands may work differently depending on the game mode you're playing (Career Mode, Ultimate Team, or Kick-Off). Check which features are supported for voice control in each mode.

3. Practice: It may take some time to get used to speaking commands while playing. Practice makes perfect, and soon you'll be able to give your FIFA team instructions like a pro.

4. Use Voice in Combination with the Controller: While voice commands are useful, don’t rely entirely on them. Use your controller for movement, and speak for more tactical or gameplay instructions.
