    It's more FIFA again, if you aren't bored of it yet then you might like it but there's very few gameplay updates. If you told me it was FIFA 20 i'd believe it.

    Probably the most annoying part is how bad some players still look, there's barely any updates each year but still so many players look nothing like they should.

They must be making an insane money with it, because the efforts in designing and improving other modes of this game are pathetic. They have gotten away for decades to charge us full game price for minimal upgrades, biggest scam in gaming history.

    I was hoping that FIFA 21 would be the title to get me excited about next gen, about getting PS5 or new Xbox but it's far from. Its minimal, the story mode has been pretty much removed (yeah Volta is a cheap trick and a joke). The changes in Manager mode probably took a week for some junior designer to come up with. The menus are sad, boring and uninspiring, depressing almost. There is the excitement of soccer, the motion, the action and dynamic energy of players? So much missed opportunity. I am guessing and hoping its all due to little investment from EA in developing this game rather than skill of individuals working on the game. The game is a good replication of how football is experienced during this pandemic, there are some great moments of good football, buy overall its pretty lifeless and the energy is missing.

The game is basically the same elements as last year however now it seems to have almost put your defenders on rails making sweaty tactics, pace and absolutely non realistic game play more desirable than ever. Prepare for hoof balls galore as well as abuse of the agile system as players turn 10 times in your box whilst your defenders move about as sluggishly as a slug stuck in concrete. I said last year was my last until they make some significant changes to the game. This year it is, the game has become an arcade meta of sweaty tactics that encourage nothing other than a shallow experience of the game of football whilst trying to bleed kids dry of mum and dads money.

    Yoo all know everything about this game.

    For me, like, for the player, who played every previous part since FIFA 04, the score for this one formed like that: Ultimate team - 0 or 1, it is getting worse and worse. I played this mode less than ever before; Volta - 3 or 4, it was something new and fresh for me, but not so long; Career mode - 4 or 5, some new features, some more

    Goalkeepers are very very very bad, and not stopping much tbh. Since scoring goals is a big part of football... and goalkeepers are not stopping any shots in the penalty area, this is breaking the game and makes a simple match a complete non-sense goal fest. Getting scores like 8-6, 7-0 etc on 4-min half time.

    Giving a 2 because they did do some good enhancements in the career mode. But

    Giving a 2 because they did do some good enhancements in the career mode. But playing actual football match is now incredibly arcady, speed is unrealistically fast, ball control unreal and the ball stick to players feet. Last year's Fifa 20 was a lot more balanced, shots could go outside of the goals, and keepers could stop the balls. Fix this and I ll increase the mark to a solid 7 or 8.

    Zamanına göre oynadığım en kötü fifa oyunu. Defans yapamıyorsunuz, topa hiçbir şekilde müdahale edemiyorsunuz, rakip oyuncuya omuz koyamıyorsunuz. Kaleciyle bile rakip kaleye kadar gitmek çok kolay. Tek güzel yanı aşırtmalar çok hoş olmuş. Onun dışında oynanacak gibi değil.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Par où commencer, déjà c'est clairement pas FIFA 20, c'est pire...
    FIFA 20 durant le mois d'octobre 2019 était vraiment bien calibré entre l'attaque et la défense il y avait un jeu bien réalisé et équilibré dans lequel on pouvait prendre du plaisir.... MAIS!

    Suite aux pleurnichards venant des anglais qui s'en sortaient pas, le jeu a subit une MaJ détruisant tout le gameplay mis en place dans le but de satisfaire les english wales (et ouais c'est l'argent qui drive le gameplay) du coup on a eu un jeu avec une vitesse de jeu augmentée, tellement que le GameEngine ne suit même pas, on peut le constater en regardant les animations des joueurs qui glissent sur le terrain, symptomatique que l'animation est trop longue par rapport à la vitesse du jeu, du coup l'animation est accélérée ou n'a pas le temps d'être jouée.

    Pourquoi tout ce bla-bla, tout simplement parce que FIFA 21 hérite de tout çà, ce n'est plus un jeu de football. Ça fait 3 années que c'est de pire en pire, le dernier jeu vraiment bien étant le 17. Avec cet opus le jeu est méga speed et full arcade (tu tires dos au but, t'inquiète le joueur va faire un 180° en calant une lucarne, ce n'est qu'un exemple parmi tant d'autres...). Le moteur de jeu gérant la physique est le même et commence à être à bout souffle, les joueurs patinent sur le terrain, font des dingueries avec la balle aimantée à leurs pieds... bref ils ont pas sorti de démo, on comprend mieux pourquoi. J'ai très peu d'espoir pour la version next gen, dev un nouveau moteur de jeu prend du temps (minimum 2 ans).
    Testez-le en EA access (c'est 4€ versus 50€), 10h c'est amplement suffisant pour se rendre compte de la nullité de cet opus.

    (perso j'ai annulé ma précommande direct, rdv FIFA 22 en espérant revoir un jeu de foot, l'année 2021 va être longue)

Somehow the most important aspect of their game remains just as broken as it was when i played FIFA 19. After 19 being my introduction to FIFA, i skipped 20 because of how unfun it was to play the actual game. I made the mistake of trying out 21 anyways, and the same problems came up time after time. Consistently awful connection despite getting between 20-60 ping, clueless AI and absurd animations, and even a glitch that forced me to forfeit a game and lose my match bonus. This is all aside from the fact that EA is a ruthless, greedy company with no desire to make good video games. For a game that used to be so popular, even among people who didn't care about the pro leagues, there's literally no hype around it anymore. This game is made for little kids that have never played any other video game, anyone else would have high enough expectations to know this game isn't worth touching. The only saving grace is the menus. But you might as well play FM at that point. Expand

    CM finally got a decent upgrade, but it's still so far off from being a solid mode. Two thirds of the additions over the last decade have been horrible, so each year half the game is just fixing the broken stuff introduced in the game from a previous year.

    FUT is a toxic and exploitative game mode that is only rewarding if either you have boat loads of time to trade in the market or if you're willing to spend money on packs. And the game modes aren't even that much fun.

    Can't wait to see what PES does next year after taking a year off.

Instead, they've somehow made it worse. FIFA 20 was the worst in the franchise, however I actually believe 21 is much much worse. Defending is awful, it's RNG, you tackle someone, but you either win the battle or you lose it. I had Inaki Williams who has 90+ pace, but somehow Alderweireld with 60 pace caught up with him, pushed him off the ball, and lobbed a 50 yard pass over the top to Bale who smashes it in with his right foot from the edge of the box (Bale has 2 star weak foot).

    The only positive from this game is Career Mode. Many good changes which makes career mode enjoyable, from training your players separately, Simulating matches which allows you to watch without having to play, official licenses for the Champions League and Europa League. However, I don't think Career Mode is enough to spend a minimum of £60 on the game.

    Overall, don't buy this game. EA do the same every year. They will make one patch in a week or so, make the game even worse, then kill it off by introducing insane microtransactions and promote gambling non stop.

    Gameplay this year is absolutely ridiculous. The defenders now seem to be stupid and can't track runners. You have to manually flick your way round the defenders to the one u want to control and hope that you are still in time. Everyone relies on the through ball and pace which is unstoppable now. Early games online have them ending like 5-6, 6-8, 7-5. Everyone is just trying to outscore each other. After some practice in defending, you can keep the score down but it's really not realistic as the games are still like ping pong games and you just want to defend and counter all the time.

    Against the CPU, on World Class, games are ending 8-0 or 9-0. You just have to exploit the through balls, and contain the CPU.

    It's not even a good simulation of the beautiful game now. It's a ping pong game of high scores.

    I don't even want to talk about micro transactions.

    Graphics - 1 (Low low score as nothing has changed for many years)
    Gameplay - 1 (Ping Pong game. who can finish better wins)

    This has to be the all time worst fifa, and personally the worst game I have ever played. The mechanics the way fifa used to be played doesn’t exist anymore. The game isn’t about football anymore, position and timing don’t matter anymore. Everyone plays the same because the game only favors one type of play style. Absolutely terrible, really regret spending my money of it.

    On the gameplay side, the main change is the increased focus on skills and improvements to the attacking AI, whereby any online game is about who can pull of the most skills in a row and flick skill passes left and right which defy gravity. For that reason, I wouldn't call this a football game at all, its more of an arcade game set in a football environment, and even that it does poorly.

Questo gioco è la palese e più recente dimostrazione di quanto la EA sia il male dei videogiochi, una casa che produce una spazzature di gioco come FIFA 21 (identico al 20, ma non c'erano dubbi a riguardo). Hanno sbagliato su tutta la linea: sempre proposto una demo prima dell'uscita annuale, questo anno- magicamente- non viene proposta ma anzi se si vuole provare questa schifezza di "copy&paste" è necessario pagare un'ignominiosa tassa di 4 euro. La vergogna maggiore però sta nel gameplay sul quale mi limiterò a portare un semplice, ma efficace dato personale: da FIFA 15 (anno in cui ho iniziato a giocare, malauguratamente, al FUT) non mi era mai capitato prima di avere un rateo W/L di 14/50, mai in vita mia. Hanno provato ad abbindolare la gente proponendo una personalizzazione infantile e ridicola degli stadi, dimenticandosi però che il gioco è nel campo, non sugli spalti. Onestamente, per concludere, credo che le aziende interpellate nel valutare questo schifo, aborto mancato, prodotto dalla EA, abbiano ricevuto qualche compenso o altrimenti abbiano giocato ad un'altra versione di questo gioco, non ancora disponibile al pubblico, rimarrò col beneficio del dubbio anche se in cuor mio conosco già la risposta. Se negli ultimi anni FIFA arrancava ed era più simile ad una creatura moribonda che un gioco divertente, posso concludere in estrema sicurezza che FIFA 21 sia la definitiva pietra tombale su un gioco ormai morto da tempo e una ulteriore conferma della incapacità lavorativa della EA, che IMHO faceva schifo da ben prima. Spero vivamente che un'azienda così ottusa e criminale (il pay-to-win a mio avviso è un sistema al pari del gioco d'azzardo e per tale motivo proibito) trovi presto un epilogo rapido. Quando quel momento arriverà solo allora i videogiocatori potranno sperare in un videogame fatto da gente che capisca non solo di videogame, ma anche e soprattutto di calcio. La mia misura è colma e se potessi richiedere il rimborso per un contenuto digitale del genere, giuro che lo farei. Expand

It feels like in this company works artists and no any developers. They paint new decorations, badges, card designs, pack designs and totally forgot about adequate game mechanics.
    The main reason of my 3 times burned butt is the ea logic: for example you have mainstream game mode fut, so you have to do every single part of it that gamers want to play it more and more. But what we have here? They merged weekend champions league with division rivals games. So we have to choose what to do play 30 games of dr and 30 games of wl in 3 days because it is the only option to take all benefits from these mods or choose between these modes which one will use 30 point profit games. Seriously? I’ve just started
    What the football team is? 11 players that participate in the derby? Nah it’s just 10. There is no goalkeeper in there. These dumbasses forgot to take him hands and any quite reason to play normally. THIS POSITION SUCKS EA! Did you see how funny these **** is trying to save any post shots or ... f&ck they can’t save anything.
    Let’s move on
    These players have stats. Another applauses to artists. These digits means nothing, literally. You can see how 99 long shot addicted player hit the 4th post in the game and meanwhile some broken bastard with 50 shooting lay down the ball from 20m right in your cheek. Or when slow player overrun your brand new pacey player. Riiiight.
    Also take this **** burger of digits, combine it with dumb ai sauce and you will feel that you have never ever eat this **** till your hears. Ai is so dumb that when the ball slightly walked near the player... he passed this player. No any reaction attempts, it does nothing, no matter 94 player or 77, dumb as f0ck.

    Special cards - is like buff to any current card but it is not an option for defenders, a little bit less for midfielders and in priority for strikers. Why? Because of ea logic again? What strikers makes the greatest? Score a goal. And that logic ends here. To be the greatest defender in this game and get inform player must score in real game? No matter how awesome he performs in defence, nope, no 2 goals - no cards. Jeez, it is like if strikers get inform for how much it saves in the square

    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]
