    The last FIFA game I played was FIFA 19, but I can honestly say this is a massive jump and overall step in the right direction.

    The real reason why FIFA 21 is great is because Career Mode got major improvements. I love it. Feels real. Gameplay is better and the game of football is always nice. Overall, this is soccer. And the experience on playing on the pitch is always a dream.

    I know that there's not much to say " oh wow that's new" but just the little tweaks especially the gameplay and the sin in career mode is a game changer. The gameplay is the perfect blend between Realistic and Arcade. The gameplay is the main reason I'm liking this fifa in fact the first fifa after fifa 15

    The only semi-automatic control of the game, the fact that in other games you can break the keyboard but here is a thoughtful game for the PC. But do switch the camera view from different angles damn it!

"Let's all aboard the EA hate train" is the sentiment echoed in some of the reviews I've read here and some of the negative reviews of this game are downright silly. I like to believe experiencing a product hands-on is the best way to get a good impression of it.

    This game is a truly nice one, best since FIFA 17 - so many good and positive gameplay innovations all over, a lot of ways to play with friends offline and even online. But playing against the computer on competitor mode is quite challenging and annoying. Still many bugs in the menus on PC and the goalkeepers are absolute nonsense, no second man press button yet again. It does get annoying at times but it's the best football game out there considering everything and is still fun...Would recommend as a football fan but not necessarily as a gamer. The pay to win aspect online still irks me!

    And NO it is NOTHING like FIFA 20 and I played hundreds of hours of FIFA 20, 19, 18, and 17. FIFA 20 was bad. Obviously, yearly releases will be similar, but it is nothing like FIFA 20 in almost every gameplay aspect: shooting, defending, and even passing. Many of the modes are retained but tweaked and feel fresh. Just try FIFA 21 on EA Play and see for yourselves ladies and gents...    … Expand

But the gameplay of the game did not change much compared to previous years, although, for example, the aglie dribling function, which did not simplify the gameplay much, but I still use this new function in gameplay.
    I continue to evaluate the game with game modes, I would start with Volta mode, this mode from last year, especially when gameplay in this mode bothers me sometimes pointless ball reflections when playing three to three 99.9% occur from players in front of the goal, but it is less consolation pitch where a smaller percentage of ball reflections occur in front of the goal. Another mode is career, a new function of instant entry into the match during the simulation has been added to it, and I like this function, and I use it a lot when playing a career. I close this game on a scale of one to ten, evaluating six points out of ten possible.    … Expand

    but FUT Mode is still a gambling cash grab. which i REFUSE to play. nothing has changed besides being able to customize your stadium. so, if that appeals to you, have at it. but EA has made it plain they will always put more into their cash cow instead of making CM what it used to be.

    all in all, it's a good time for me. it does things Fifa 20 didn't do, and the on-pitch play IMPO is somewhat better. if you get it I think you will enjoy it.    … Expand

    Mucho o nada se puede decir de esta saga, trata de innovar en modos de juego y poco o nada en su jugabilidad que todavía a día de hoy tiene mucho que mejorar para estar a la altura de los números que genera, yo como amante del modo carrera puedo decir que estoy contento con el trabajo de EA que no deja de lado a los de la vieja escuela y espero que siga siendo así.

Par contre j'ai rapidement désactivé les commentaires, trop répétitifs et peu pertinents. Le gameplay n'est pas trop mal mais largement perfectible sur bien des points, par exemple lorsque je déborde, mes centres ne sont pas suffisamment efficaces, alors qu'un dribble pour repiquer dans l'axe suivi d'une frappe précise et enroulé fera trop souvent mouche… Côté carrière c'est mieux qu'auparavant mais encore loin d'être suffisamment. Pour finir, je tiens à préciser que ma note ne prend pas en compte l'ultimate team que je n'aime pas, sans quoi ce serait la dégringolade. En effet c'est un gouffre à pognon pays to win, mécanisme que l'on retrouve habituellement dans un jeu gratuit, ce qui n'est pas le cas de FIFA…

    It is like set of voleyball, online matches finish like 10-7, 6-5, 8-6. How many real football games have you watched with those scores? A game made to make you spend money if you wanna play online. Sad to see, I would never think that crappy Pes 2021 which is a remake of Pes 2020 to be much better than Fifa 21.

    Most times in gaming history the successor is much better than the predecessor, eg. DMC 5, The Witcher 3. But FIFA 20 has done a better job than FIFA 21; e.g. free kick. The only thing what is better about FIFA 21 ist the updated roster.

    I even created a player with maxed out statistics, he still couldn't pass the ball in a straight line.

    With this said, it's extremely hard to play with the AI, which will never fail in pressing your players frame perfect, let alone playing online.

    Almost forgot, when the opponent does a high long pass, your players won't go for the ball, they'll either stay still or they'll keep running forward, the opposite direction of where the ball is going.

    It's still the same game as before. Minimal amount of positive changes for the price of a full game. The game is re-released every year just because of the existence of the FUT. Due to this, minimal attention is paid to all other game modes and gameplay aspects. The AI still sucks the same way. I don't recommend it.

    I feel like the PC version of this game is very rushed and badly ported. There is just something about it that makes it feel like its just generally worse than the PS4/PS5 and Xbox One/Series X/S. There is of course many similarities between all the different versions.

But the pc version has a lot less polising. And better yet, you still have to use money to actually be able to play this game.

    Another thing that i have found out is that they have nerfed some players. I packed a TOTY (which is a kind of special version of a player if someone doesnt know.) Messi which sounds like he should be one of the best cards in the game. But no, a 78 CenterBack could easily catch up to him. Messi has 91 Pace on that card if i remember correctly and if you give him a chemestry style which gives him more, he technically has 99 pace, which is the most you can have in fifa. But still a centerback which has a total of 60 can run faster than him.

    There is this thing the fifa community calls scripting which sounds fake, and i find it hard to believe. But now i really feel like there something like that. Whats happening is that if someone has a "worse" team than you, they automatically has won because his/her players gets boosted for being "worse". And it really feels like that sometimes, because if i were to come up against all the highest rated players in the game, i wouldve most likely won that match easily.    … 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
