    Game is utter crap. They have objectives and puzzles which are nice but often they require 85 rating cards for nice rewards and they hardly ever drop.

Defending sucks in this FIFA 21 game, constantly overwhelmed by speed douche bags. Not possible to win limited cards like surev. I bought fifa packs a week before team of year not realising team of year was soon being new to this sought of game as i thought all cards would be in packs from start , because they are not in means they have greatly damaged the odds getting and the odds per pack are fixed in an unfair way. Example you would expect odds to increase the more you buy packs but because you open 1 at a time the percentage remains the same so its always 1% of opening a super rare thing. The odds are sqeweded stupidly and packs outrageously expensive. Packs should always contain 1 85+ player so that people can do the SBCs , Packs should be cheaper so kids with pocket money can actually get them. Promo packs and special packs should be avaliable all the time and fifa should allow players to buy coins with real money. Every single card should be given a stastical odd of being in a pack but this is not possible to do as there are too many cards which means your more likely to get low level cards. I can't win better cards, any mangerial games game is utterly crap for new players I got A in the skill things offline. Marketing System is crap and not a real way to make coins and neither is squad battles, It would be nice if you could buy a transaction card for the market place (fifa gets money) you trade one in for a card you want from another player, the transaction card becomes the amount of coins the card was listed for. All of fifas cards should be tradable no matter where you get it from , single player trading also needs to return to game so you can swap cards with friends. It would be nice to have a simulation mode to gather coins that makes you make descisions as manager for a few minutes in order to ensure wins/loses as a manger. The simulation mode should count as winning if you manage to win in order to help people earn cards that require wins. The qui is terrible You can accidentlaly spend more money when trying to bid why can't there be a button for buying out right (triangle, y) and a button to place highest bid (square) finally quick sell should be attached to something else to in case you accidetally quick sell and used your 30 day quick returns. Spent 25,000 coins or 4 pounds on a promo pack for example got me nothing but stuff below 80 , 25,000 coins is an average of 10 games per 4000 so about 40 games in squad battles for garbage. Everything about game is bad. Too many dishonable players too with slide tackles, skill move manipulation shots. To feel okay about a game I like to score just one goal but most of time the opponents will just keep slide tackling me to stop any attempt even if they are 6 above me, there is no need for unsportsmanship like conduct or the creation of a toxic enviroment. Accesability sucks as if you use it your at an even bigger disadvantage so basically being disabled is not consdiered at all. They make they system x for pass and circle for shoot but disable defensive abilites which means your worse off. Don't buy this or furture products from this series. I like the puzzles but dislike the requirements of rating, I like card packets but not if they are rigged unfairly e.g no list of every card in a pack (how can you have a percentage worked out unless every card is given a percetage value out of 100. according to google there are 16,000 different day 1 cards yet I still get mass duplicates when opening packs????. They don't tell you there are 16,000 cards , they don't tell you what cards are avalaible meaning spending money on those packs was pointless i did so because card pack opening should be exciting in fifa its terrible they give you crap in gold packs like tifos , balls and mangers, and player contracts none of that needs to be in packs and obscures getting players even more. Promo packs and other packs that some times come on sale should be avaliable all the time as i spent real money on gold packs cause i thought those where the only type i could get. Don't buy this game its utterly terrible , unrealistic and trash. I really want to snap the disc in two and chuck it away.… Expand

    i buy every year fifa, cause of FUT. BUT this year's fifa is so unreal... New dribling is arcade fun but no realistic. Defending is bad, slow and it's very dependant on just guessing where oponent will run to.
    Most of my online games, are like polo ones: scores like 4-6, 5-7, 6-9 (lol) etc
    That's not football...

    Career Mode is not good. These so called new features are actually not functioning in the game. These features are only cosmetics text for the eye. Do not get fooled.
    On the PC Version of the Game, if you are using Nvidia graphic card, you are likely to experiment crashes and freezes. There is no good optimiziation for the PC users.
    This is just not football.
    And the PC Version will not get the next gen upgrade like the console users.

    So you want to know how bad this game is? I have been playing video games since I was 5 years old and got my first super-nintendo. I have been playing thousands of games for over 20 years but have never reviewed one before today..

    I felt obligated to tell the world how bad this game, because it is not only the normal kind of bad, but the worst kind of bad.. After Fifa 2019 I told    So you want to know how bad this game is? I have been playing video games since I was 5 years old and got my first super-nintendo. I have been playing thousands of games for over 20 years but have never reviewed one before today..

    I felt obligated to tell the world how bad this game, because it is not only the normal kind of bad, but the worst kind of bad..

    After Fifa 2019 I told myself "I am never going to buy another EA game ever again". But for some odd reason I got tricked into believeing the hype this year when someone said "the game mechanics are really good this year". Let me perfectly clear: This game was only made with one purpose, to make money, lots of money.

    Some of the new fun parts introduced in this years game is that speed is even more meta,and defenders move like the mountain from game of thrones..

    But whats even more sinister than the shameful gameplay is how a certain company has perfected their "money making scheme".

    For the the first 10 games it actually feels fun, but that is short lived because this game is perfectly scripted from the start. For my first 10-games on world class difficulty on ultimate team I smashed my opponents 6-0 with a crappy team. But after I got to around 10- games something started to change.

    Suddenly the AI was making impossible moves, all my shots were hitting the post, and I was missing shots on an open goal. And it became perfectly clear that this game is scripted and forcing you to "go and buy some fifa points" so you can upgrade your stupid squad.

    I really hope that someone somewhere start making some new laws so that the gaming industry can stop promoting gambling to kids. But since "money talks" I am not getting my hopes up.

    So what is fifa 21? Its a simulator made only to make money and the simulator is always rigged slightly against you because as you all know "the house always wins".

    Please dont be a donkey like me and buy the game.

    This game is only made to make money, and it doesnt care if you are 5 or 80 years old, as long as you can press some buttons and buy fifa points.    … Expand

    I won't bother repeating what many others have said, I agree with most that the core gameplay has not changed much from 20 and this is essentially a roster update for full price... again.

    The positives, EA have finally made strides in career mode with a few positive tweaks which has been a long time coming, but a year of development that has only produced a few tweaks to a mode that    I won't bother repeating what many others have said, I agree with most that the core gameplay has not changed much from 20 and this is essentially a roster update for full price... again.

    The positives, EA have finally made strides in career mode with a few positive tweaks which has been a long time coming, but a year of development that has only produced a few tweaks to a mode that hasn't had any attention in years is incredibly underwhelming, but par for the course for EA. I will mention that I am genuinely enjoying a lot of the music in this year's soundtrack and the people who curate the music are the only employees I like at EA.

    Main negatives, dribbling is more loose and fun to run around with, but it is incredibly arcadey and unrealistic to a point where defending is becoming more useless and players with high dribbling look like they are bugging out.

    I really do not understand how there are objectives you can grind out for days/weeks or however long, and your reward is Tifo artwork... that's good, I don't want to improve my team to compete with credit card children, I just want my stadium to look pretty.

    Special shoutout to the FIFA Tubers who are designated "game changers" and don't do anything to help address community issues but instead come out with a video 9 days early with 120,000 FIFA points ready to entice those kids with a pack opening... you truly are a blessing to the community. Thankfully, not all of them are like this, but for those that are, you're as trash as EA.

    Oh and one more thing, this ratings commission or whatever, please remove your head from whichever orifice it may currently be stuck in... They did my boys in Munich dirty because their high school commission cannot get over the fact that they signed an exclusivity deal with Konami, yet they will continually overrate premier league players every year. This one is just my personal complaint, but it looks like the community has noticed as well. Let some other group rate the players, or poll the fans because it looks like you guys do not watch football.

    + Career mode improvements
    + Soundtrack is great, lots of unique tracks

    - Gameplay is not much different from 20 (or even back to 17)
    - Dribbling has become incredibly arcadey and laughable in precision mode
    - FUT is still pay to win (Did we expect this to change?)
    - Defending seems to be getting worse every year
    - Toxic community as per usual
    - Reward items in FUT have become more vanity-oriented (less packs, more aesthetics)
    - FIFA Tubers and Twitch streamers are useless
    - Player ratings are terrible, EPL bias is clear this year more than ever, F for Bayern fans like me

    Overall, another cash grab by EA, it would be nice if I could think of a FIFA that isn't like this, but as games move forward into more corporate-oriented directions, I don't think we'll see a good FIFA ever again, and it is kind of sad.    … Expand

I installed this beginning of the month with EA Play and uninstalled it before even using my 10 hours. It’s the same game as always, defending is up to crap again, fast players just push through, slow defenders will just cause fouls. Player switching sucks so I always use manual which seems to be a bit clunky and slow - all round just a frustrating experience once again. Look at PES, at least they tell you that 2021 is an update to the previous year and comes at a reduced price...*cough cough EA*. 1 star simply because they went through the effort to rebrand the game by updating everything that said 20, to 21.… Expand

    Would've given a 0, but honestly the MINOR changes from 20 to 21 at least warrant a 1.

Passing is still terrible (your most important passes will not go to the player that you were intending to pass to), defending is still terrible (ball bounces around awkwardly and rebound goals are pretty much the only goals people can score), and if you don't have a majority of skill move combinations memorized then you won't win many games. Put simply, this game is not intended for the casual player, only sweats. To give credit where it's due; Dribbling is more lifelike, and pace is more controlled, which are about the only improvements from 20 to 21. These improvements don't matter though, as the negatives IMPRESSIVELY outweigh the positives.… Expand

Every year EA takes 1 more function from the game and replaces it with a function for FUT that adds "value" to microtransactions/gambling. The simple fact of the matter is that if FIFA could be renamed FUT & released with no updates every year then EA would do that. No updates to career & btw a new roster isn't an update. No updates to pro clubs. No updates to online seasons & in fact they even removes the EA catalogue so if you play offline or without friends, your now unquestionably **** for having fun. The next point of contention is the graphics. FIFA 21 for PC is LAST GEN graphics with terrible looking walk outs and super imposed pictures on the main screen background just looking terribly photoshopped and most likely done by a blind man. After this we have the introduction of Volta. A glorified FIFA street mode that nobody wants. See if you know most people only play FUT, why take away the main story to replace it with some half arsed 3-a-side pish that nobody asked for? EA have gone too far this time & even paying the RRP for this game is DAYLIGHT ROBBERY. At least the people at Konami where honest & told the player base Pes2021 would just be a small update to 20. EA would steal your granny and sell you her back if they could. Probably as an assortment. For £1.96 a piece I would guess. Disgraceful attempt to please the player base & I shall refrain from buying or promoting any EA product from now until I die. Good Luck EA. I'm coming for you.… Expand
