    I even liked Fifa 20 despite its defects but this years there's nothing new in graphics and game modes and they managed to get the gameplay much worse. The AI is terrible and the game is totally based on speed. Its like an arcade.
    Seems that you are playing a soccer version of NBA Jam. Simply bizarre

    this is just FIFA 20 with minor changes. if you like football then buy PES 2021. this game has very much scripting and if it wants you to fail. you will fail, and you will recognize that the first few hours you play it.

    Just terrible. There is no reason to play this game. NO REASON. With Fifa20 at least you could work around the gameplay shortcomings. Imagine you make a tackle and your defender just stands there idlely while the forward retakes the ball and slots it home.

    Imagine your passes are subject to AI whim so a perfectly worked build up play ends in a 2-foot through pass to nobody. Imagine

    Imagine your passes are subject to AI whim so a perfectly worked build up play ends in a 2-foot through pass to nobody.

    Imagine FIFA20 but 21% slower with almost no control over passes, defending and attacking. Basically you can watch the unravelling of your efforts like a slow-motion train wreck. The graphics are worse, the replays are shameful and there is literally nothing redeeming about this title except a new soundtrack.

    EA will go out of business because of tripe like this and thank God because it's probably long overdue.

    Scripting has become even worse than any other fifa in the past (Been playing since fifa 12). Gameplay is no fun considering you and your opponents have minimal control over the outcome of the game. Players stats don’t mean anything and it’s all simply a ploy to hook kids into gambling their parents money into rigged packs, preventing you from actually getting good players.

I am done giving my money to EA who clearly don't care about their consumers, and the community of one of their biggest titles. This isn't a football game- this is a lootcrate simulator disguised as a football game. EA are clearly going after people's wallets. Thus I've stopped playing FUT and indulging EA in their enormous greed. Now that I've spent more time playing Online Seasons, I can tell that EA didn't put much work into improving gameplay. They would rather release 69,794 versions of the same player card so people get dazzled by all the flashy colors and designs and spend their money on packs.

    Gameplay is still glitched and is DEFINITELY scripted. I am a divison 1 player in Online Seasons, been playing FIFA since FIFA 14. It is mind boggling how a defender with 50-60 pace can catch up to the likes of Coman or Dembele when they're through on goal. Defending is even worse than previous games. Defenders can go from world class to backyard children ball watching as a simple pass is played through to the player. Tactics don't mean much everyone plays stay back and counter attack eith over the top through balls to pacey wingers. This is FIFA 20 all over again with improved heading.

    This is the most infuriating AAA title I've played. You're playing against your opponent and the script that ultimately decides who wins the game. There are more issues with the game that I haven't covered.

    Bottom line, stop giving EA your hard earned money people!!

    there are some issues, every year the quality is going down, i mean, this is a pay to win game. there are features that are usefull, like the L2 for defend, is scripted, no matter if u play good, u will loose. i think this is a disgrace.

    Estoy muy cabreado con el juego, a pesar de que tiene cosas buenas, me cansó tan rápido que me di cuenta de lo regular que estaba, empecemos:
    Por fin cambió la jugabilidad en el Volta, después del añadido del año pasado, que era como jugar a fútbol 11 pero con 5 jugadores, este año cambió la jugabilidad, ahora se nota más dinámico que en otros modos, sobre todo el tiro a trallón, muy chulos esos detallitos añadidos.
    Otra cosa positiva, el añadido del modo carrera, aunque podrían haberlo pulido algo más, espero que sea de transición y que para el año lo vuelvan a mejorar, porque varios años así, se va a hacer pésimo, falta mucho detalle importante, pero bueno, se agradecen los añadidos, aunque es lo mínimo.
    Me parece asqueroso que no puedas tener tu propio estilo de juego jugando online, hay que hacer la dinámica que funciona, y si no, estás perdido, eso me aborrece, de verdad.
    El juego está demasiado lleno de bugs, pero mucho, fatal fatal hecho, con el añadido de mecánicas rotas por todos lados, lo dicho, lo que funciona es lo que funciona, y si no sabes, o no quieres hacerlo porque tienes otro estilo, estás fuera.
    También, me parece absurdo las cartas en Ultimate Team, no tiene sentido, se lo cargaron muy pronto, jodido de disfrutar si no tienes el juego directamente desde el principio, aburrido, un modo pésimo a mi manera de ver, o estás 24/7 metido en él, o no tienes oportunidad, y eso, no mola.
    No quiero añadir que hasta los trofeos estuvieron bugueados durante un buen tiempo, de verdad, un juego muerto para mí.

Whoever’s made this game needs to quit what they are doing because FIFA’s literally spoiling the beautiful game every year!! It’s so disappointing!! Expand

    Terrible game, probably the worst FIFA ever. Goalkeepers suck, it’s impossible to defend, dribbling is completely overpowered and the game is just extremely unrealistic. Awful! Don’t know why I continue to play FIFA

    The worst FIFA I have ever played in my life. Ultimate team is not too bad if you want to play squad battles and constantly smack your opponents 5-0 every game over and over again. However, career mode is a different story, one minute you’re winning too easily on legendary 6-0 then the opponents score 6 goals in 10 minutes because goalkeepers can’t save shots which are millimeters next toThe worst FIFA I have ever played in my life. Ultimate team is not too bad if you want to play squad battles and constantly smack your opponents 5-0 every game over and over again. However, career mode is a different story, one minute you’re winning too easily on legendary 6-0 then the opponents score 6 goals in 10 minutes because goalkeepers can’t save shots which are millimeters next to their bodies, the referee then gives away a penalty because your player slightly bumped the opposition with the body causing them to lose balance and stumble a little, think you can save the penalty? Think again! The penalty taker places the ball on the exact right spot to hit the post and fire into the back of the net and cause you to be now drawing a game which should realistically be won. You’re honestly better off simulating each game or even better, find a game which properly replicates a real life football game and not a 13 goal thriller between Liverpool and Sheffield Utd where the score line ends with you only just beating your opponent 7-6 in the last few seconds. FIFA 21 is by far the most unrealistic, lazy, tragic and scripted FIFA that has ever been made. EA only care about money which is as obvious as a blonde’s fake tan. Expand

    For a game that releases yearly and builds upon the codebase of each version, you'd expect it to only grow and become better. Yet, EA & their FIFA product line, seems to prove that the opposite is possible.
    I bought this used, for 10 euros, and I'm going to sell it on again after only +-10 hours of playing, because:
    - Keepers are still completely clueless, parrying shots central, diving
    For a game that releases yearly and builds upon the codebase of each version, you'd expect it to only grow and become better. Yet, EA & their FIFA product line, seems to prove that the opposite is possible.
    I bought this used, for 10 euros, and I'm going to sell it on again after only +-10 hours of playing, because:
    - Keepers are still completely clueless, parrying shots central, diving with their head towards the goal instead of reaching to make a save, sometimes even just coming out just to do nothing and give the opponent a free goal...
    - The game changes my formation mid-game to the 'default' team formation, this happens in roughly 2 out of 3 season games I play.
    - Players make the most unnatural movements, there's still a lot of 50/50 tackles and defenders still lock onto the ball instead of it's trajectory when a long ball is played in.
    - Game still seems to fail to recognize tackles & draw cards accordingly
    - Scripting / Dynamic difficulty, or simply bugged gamestate if you don't like the previous 2 words, is still very much a thing,
    - Do I even have to mention the cover art?

    They cut down budget on almost everything, except for FUT features, because that's where the money is. All other features get neglected, including gameplay.

    These are only a handful of things that I came across during a few hours of playing, while only testing seasons. To the people that say the career mode's been improved, has it really though? Remember FIFA 20's simply wasn't playable, so the bar isn't set very high.

    As a developer myself, it blows my mind, how a game that is a live product continues to release in a broken state and have the company get away with it, year after year.
    If it was a one-hit release game, I'd give it a 6 maybe, but since it's a continuous game service, this state is simply inexcusable and shouldn't be accepted by it's consumer base.

These guys need to be sued for fraudulent behavior and be made to refund all the money that any user has paid into it. It’s basically illegal. Stay away and go get a better game that won’t rob you of your money and time.

    Game for fans who either need to work online at FUT every day, or instead want to try a modified career mode, which is starting to really look like Football Manager. Otherwise, it's a decent update for the full price. [Issue#307]

    The FIFA series desperately needs a fresh start. Right now, it relies mainly on the Ultimate Team mode and marketing, while going around in circles. Instead of leaping into the future, FIFA 21 takes half a step forward and two steps sideways in an attempt to differentiate itself from its predecessor well enough to rationalize spending money. If you already own FIFA 20 and are not addicted to Ultimate Team, you can sit this one out. [12/2020, p.44]
