    Worst fifa by far, defending non-existent, each game i play online finishes with at least 4,5 goals for each side. Only way to play it is ultra attacking, and hope to score more goals than the opponent. Sadly this has become a game of pure luck and not skill. I sure miss my fifa 12 and fifa 15 on ps3.

    Too easy to score and comical goals scored.
    Defending is absolutely **** and any rates striker can score from impossible angles.

    The worst fifa i’ve tried in years. All the bucks and fails, is bothering me so much. Your opponent can litteraly win against you from 4 **** goals, because of the stupid things that happens in the game. Please listen to your customers and do something. Im very dissapointed...

    Where do you start with yet another disappointment of a game. Just the same game re-packaged, new kits and not much else. Not a fan of ultimate team so very happy to see career mode was getting a "revamp", sadly not much changed. EA congratulations, outdone yourselves.

Some other years have brought in new things, such as the champions league and certified leagues. But this game has absolutely nothing new offer but an absolute attack focused game. There is no balance to it and clearly very boring. At this rate I’d take PES, Jesus Christ. Pathetic.… Expand

    Fifa 19 was bad, fifa 20 was worse and somehow fifa 21 is the worst! Absolutely riddled with bugs that is making it impossible for me to play fifa 21. Every year it feels like I'm buying a game that isn't complete. We end up waiting several months for updates to fix certain problems to make the game playable. This game isn't worth £60 simple as that.

Passing is so much worse than Fifa 20. If you thought that was bad the skill gap is even more non existent this year.

And the best part it’ll be 70$ next year and some will buy it, and those sellout reviews will give it good scores and then post the **** online like it’s “part of the fun” “oh Fifa” like we are paying the same amount for cyberpunk, God of war and many of the best games out there and act entitled if there are any ****, and you’ll see how some will lose it if there are **** in cyberpunk, but you okay to pay EA 60$ if not more because you want to gamble your money on bloody cards everu year? Seriously? And some take pride in being loyall to EA? To EA’s wallet they ain’t loyal to you, they give you the same rubbish every year with a downgrade and a few tweaks plus new kits and a football star on the cover. I quit PES after 2009 because it became terrible and now Fifa since 18, I swore that I’ll only get second hand games or I’ll pay less than 5$ for these games, because they don’t deserve more than indie games. I took 18 and 19 from a friend and bought 20 for 5$ on the summer sale, and I don’t think I’ll actually try to even get 21 even for free, I’ll just wait for Konami and see if they deliver on their promise. Honestly screw EA, stop buying from them, all their games are terrible and you all remember Battlefield, and how you buy a game for 60$ and then you have to pay 20+ for the actual fun maps, seriously? Stop buying EA And don’t only flex your muscles on companies that are working hard to give a good game and working for years plus the overtime and you complain about them, but no one does the same to EA?! Hypocrites. I didn’t like the last of us 2 too, but apart from the story, everything was breathtaking and still everyone cried about it, I know why we all fell in love with the first game was because of the story, but in the new one they did an amazing job building the world for years and it looked amazing, and killing people was fun, but EA gives us the same crap and people are like “loyal to FIFA” or “well, can’t be a Fifa game without the funny ****” like nah bro I paid money for that, it shouldn’t be this bad. Just remember you are paying the same amount of money on Fifa, the same amount of money if not more if you are one of them addicts as you would pay for fun titles that have been worked on for years and years, millions upon millions and hours of work and sweat and tears and then you dare complain if there is the slightest **** but when it comes to Fifa I guess your “loyalty” to a company that doesn’t care about you is beyond reason.

    It's an EA game (instant-0 nowadays), it's absolutely a Ctrl + C - Ctrl + V of FIFA 20
    Oh, let's not forget that we got lootboxes in a $60 game
    They're always looking for the easiest way to make a game, look at the cover, it's literally the first photos you find on google when you search Mbappe, all just cropped together on Microsoft Paint, we, as players, really deserve better.

    This game is garbage. They have had the same engine which is garbage for almost 4 years, it is a disgrace. The gameplay is awful, sometimes the player I am controlling will stop moving, it is so frustrating to play. I don't recommend this game

    I must say I am surprised by this game. I have been a Fifa player for years upon years and I really reached the end of my tether last year after enduring the scripting, poor gameplay, pack abusing mentality of pay-to-win. However, the game seems to be making some strides this year to improve. There seems to be more opportunities at a lower in-game price to achieve better players.

However, the game seems to be making some strides this year to improve. There seems to be more opportunities at a lower in-game price to achieve better players. Premier League POTM players for 50k on an SBC is progress. It is no secret this game needs to ditch the packs and the pay-to-win element but I cannot see that happening until EA is forced to do so. Therefore we must embrace little wins. I truly believe PES 2021 Season Update is a better alternative for those who purely want a career mode experience. The games feel more hard-fought, realistic and the whole experience is more rewarding. Konami need to develop their own rival to Pro Clubs and then we may see people shift as Pro Clubs is very neglected and could be the shining light of the FIFA experience. EA will not change until they are forced by government to remove gambling or forced by a fanbase that leaves to pursue a better experience.

    On a plus note, for those that enjoy Ultimate Team - for the time being the changes seem positive. It remains to be seen if they stay that way but I am enjoying the experience currently.    … Expand

    Fifa 20 version 2 but worse. Defence doesnt exist, every game is goal festival with results 8:6 etc...Volta is pointless, Carrer mode has some new additions but its boring, FUT is there just to make EA money. Basically its pointless to have player with high passing, driblling, stamina etc, only important is PACE. PACE PACE PACE, this game is a joke.

    Apart from a few minor changes and i mean minor, this is a copy of fifa20. Ctrl+c Ctrl+v is all the devs did and yet they still managed to release the game full of bugs. I dont know what they actually spend their time doing. They arent making new gameplay features or drastically improving game mechanics.

    Nothing has changed unless you play career mode.

    - the goalkeepers receive goal from any position even from players with low rating shooting, almost any shoot from the box is goal.
    - on my side I noticed that goalkeepers defend more the shoots from high rate players (such as Mane or Salah) and easily receive goals from players with low rate (such as Ansu Fati); really WTF EA ? are you serious with this? any noob now can score with any player from inside the box!
    - If FIFA was arcadish before, this Fifa 21 is King of arcade.

    Overall a mess! don't buy it people and don't play it!

    1 - I rated this is like how much changes they did to this game. Just added 1 to the title. Noice.
    I’ve played this game since 15 version and think that there is a lot of difference between them but in this year it is a huge step back.

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    … Expand

    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]
