    It's a great FIFA game that provided me a deep and fun experience. As a Chinese, I like the Chinese commentary so much! Really a master piece!

    People must have rated this game with a 0 because they cant score with a goalkeeper anymore. Ea should better release remake of an old Fifa game rather than trying for something new and nonsense.

    Why should review score terrorism for Nintendo switches be applied to PS4 or XBOX ONE????
    FIFA 21 for PS4 is fun and makes soccer a festival.

    Gameplay got wayyy better than in FIFA 20. Career mode is really fun this year. FIFA Ultimate Team sadly got no big changes, except the new stadium options. For me this FIFA is The best FIFA since FIFA 16. Player ratings pretty f*cked up but that is no reason do change my opinion on the game. FIFA 21 is all in all a pretty good game.

    Brilliant fifa. Better than fifa 20 by miles. The way players move in game. The graphics are more polished. And the career mode improvements make it a realistic football sim. I’d say imo it’s the best fifa to date.

    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.

    Definitely seeing improvements over pretty much all the game modes. Menu content is getting better each year, especially in UT, but career mode also received major improvements this year. Game play has problems but usually is enjoyable. A lot of additions in game play that are leading to a higher skill gap. Micro-transactions still hinder the potential for a better rating.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Boys and girls, the time has come for FIFA 21 to be released (also known as FIFA 17 DLC 4), so it’s time for an honest review, based on the last couple of years of the franchise. This is mainly for those of you who are lucky enough not be addicted to the game yet, for those unaware parents thinking about buying this game for their children and those of you who are simply new.

    Looking at the feedback from early game and the beta, it is clear as day that this is yet another DLC with tweaked bars and different menus. It was obvious to most as the game runs on the same engine, but it was important to note that. Now, some people, like the egg head American, little fat Mexican and some other YouTubers, may tell you otherwise, but that’s because they make money on this shambolic product.

    So, why is FIFA so bad?
    - CRAP SERVERS
    - CRAP GAMEPLAY
    (45/90 min goals, cut back goals, drag backs 24/7, rebound goals, 4231 - 1 depth, drop back, constant team pressure). This will obviously change, drag backs from previous DLC will be replaced by el tsunami crosses but make no mistake, it’s the same pattern over and over – two overpowered skills, one formation that everyone will play, one or two broken team tactics.
    - DDA/HANDICAP/SCRIPTING
    According to the official source, it doesn’t exist in the game (lol). There are 1000s of videos on YouTube proving otherwise, and many well-known players spoke about it on multiple occasions. Why is this so bad? Because you invest time to get better at the game and you can lose to someone a lot worse than you. This often leads to insane amount of frustration and that’s why FIFA is known as the game of broken controllers. You are 2:0 up and then bang, you can’t pass, your players are not making runs anymore, defending suddenly becomes obsolete. All you can do at this moment is to watch while your opponent score goals and disrespect you with a childish celebration. Do you really want that in your life?
    - THE FORUM
    Would you like to find out more about the ‘hidden game mechanics’ above from the official forum? YOU WILL GET BANNED by a volunteer if you talk about it, seriously! And yes I said a volunteer.. working for EA.. to moderate their forum.. Ever thought you failed at life? Think again. These guys are banning you within minutes and don't get paid (props to Radioshaq, the biggest rat in known universe)This is the only game forum I have ever seen that talking about game mechanics will get you banned. Same goes for mental health. Due to the way this game is designed, a lot of people struggle with their mental health while playing it and go to forums to discuss it. Their posts just disappear.
    - ATROCIOUS PACK WEIGHT
    You open a pack and it say you have less than 1% of getting a player from a special promo cards. What does it mean less than 1%? Is it 0,9% or 0,0001% because that’s a massive difference. Even more so, in those special promos, some players are really bad, others are amazing. Needlessly to say, the chances of pulling Mbappe as a promo card are a lot smaller than getting Bendtner but you won’t know those odds. We live in a world where every scratch card tells you the exact % of getting the first, second and so on prize. How is what FIFA is doing even legal? Let’s not forget THIS IS PEGI 3 GAME!
    - DID I SAY CRAP SERVERS?
    - LACK OF SUPPORT
    The game is being released, usually it’s in appalling state with lots of bugs, errors and broken mechanics (basically shouldn’t leave beta). Some get fixed, some never do. While the basic bugs will eventually disappear, every single patch make the game a bit worse gameplay wise. Instead of focusing on 100s of feedback posts they receive, they will update some Volta animations, which no one plays anyway. Once the game is released, aside from minor tweaks, that’s it, see you in the next DLC.
    -REALLY CRAP SERVERS
    Official response? ItS YoUr CoNneCtiOn. 350 Mbps Virgin Fibre can't handle this state of art game apparently. What we know unofficially? It’s something called lag compensation. Google it for more details.

    Unfortunately EA did not pay me for this review, as they did to Game Revolution who gave this game a score of 90, or IGN Spain with their 93 for previous DLC, so I can only rate this game as 8/10 -'Absolutely Recommend!'. Masterpiece of a game, splendid, astonishing, breath-taking. The only downside is that you guys will have to wait for 7G in order to play without lag. Thankfully for me, I am now free from this torment and will invest my time and money into a different game.    … Expand

    Anyone complaining about how bad the defending is on the game just needs to learn how to defend on it. Better than FIFA 20. Menus aren’t perfect but hopefully a patch will speed them up. Gameplay is entertaining and fast at the moment and once people start to work out the mechanisms I’m sure more types of playing the game will be discovered.

    Tackling -especially short tackling is very unrealistic, if your tackle fails the tackler will be totally dead and useless. I have reported this before to fifplay and it seems it was considered in the latest title update but the issue still exists. Another thing is the shaking of the post which is not realistic, it works well at volta but not for the normal pitch.

    0.8? Notes here are a joke. Everybody knows it is not worth paying the full retail price if you already have the last iteration and are not a hardcore fifa player. But the note should be about the quality of the game itself not about EA economic model.

    Well...then, my honest review. ;) I am a career mode player and I personnaly appreciated this Fifa 21. Having the possibility to jump    0.8? Notes here are a joke. Everybody knows it is not worth paying the full retail price if you already have the last iteration and are not a hardcore fifa player. But the note should be about the quality of the game itself not about EA economic model.

    Well...then, my honest review. ;)

    I am a career mode player and I personnaly appreciated this Fifa 21. Having the possibility to jump in/out in a simulated game is gold. The option to change player position is nicely done. Managing sharpness is a little bit too time consuming in the beginning but after a while you can simulate almost every session. New player development is a mixed bag. I am delighted I don't have to play repetitive mini games to improve every attribute but it is way too easy to improve skill moves, wrong foot & work rate. These huge improvements should be limited (only 1 star to choose for each player) and come at a price. Atm, every young midfielders & forward can become 5 stars geniuses with high working rate in less than 6 months.

    Gameplay wise, the game is almost the same as fifa 20 imo, only faster but you have the option to slow it down so it looks less inhuman. I almost never used the new ability to control the direction of my teammates runs but the option is there for the gifted players. As usual, defending is too hard. Defensive midfield abandon you and full backs deliberately leave huge spaces in their back. Playing the offside is very difficult and goalkeepers have not improved.

    On legendary or Ultimate difficulty, you will suffer the classic Fifa scripts. If you lead 1-0, prepare yourself to see your best forward hit the post from a position he usually always scores while on the other side of the pitch your 90 rated defender controlled by the AI suddenly lose all defensive awareness and freeze so your opponent finally equalize at the last min of the game. Really really annoying game design.    … Expand

It's astonishing how disinterested they are in creating an experience that is reminiscent of what we love about football. Instead they bring us excruciating frustration.

    Instead they bring us excruciating frustration.

    First evening the game felt extremely responsive, and fun. Both attacking and defending felt fun, even though I conceded goals. The flow of things and movement of players was faster and more fluid than before.

    Of course, this didn't last. Within hours things slowed down. Sluggish movement, lagging gameplay and all the things we know all too well from Fifa. I play via 500/500 fibre connection. It remains like that.

    - Keepers this year is absolutely non-existent, btw. It's ridiculous. Most shots on target will go in.
    - Beforehand it was announced that they would amend chaotic situations with player collisions. I've seen more of this stupid stuff than ever before.
    - It's also detrimental to the experience that they let opponents cancel your celebrations/replays. Football is about big moments. I get that it could be trimmed down, but to put the power to end a replay in the hands of an opponent is just blatantly ignoring a huge part of football. Joy and celebration. Emotions.

    A perfect Fifa should essentially work like an RPG: (your stats)*(your skills)= the outcome and resulting gameplay. Instead players and games are constantly effected by server performances below par which inhibit their development within the games mechanics. You could work many hours trying to learn the game's mechanics, but truth is the performance of those mechanics are constantly manipulated by inconsistent servers.

    The game looks good, the darker presentation is more pleasing to the eye than in a long time. The soundtrack is also a lot less annoying than recent years which is good. But the game itself is just a tweak of an old recipe. They enhance and reduce certain mechanics usability each year. That's basically it. This year headers are back. Next year through passes might be a waste of time.    … Expand

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. 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

    Worth noting that this game is a definite improvement on FIFA 20, however that’s not saying much because it couldn’t have gotten much worse.

    Essentially the same game with a few fine tuned gameplay elements, the game’s passing and players making runs behind does seemed to be a bit of an improvement. Also a nice, albeit subtle, presentation element is the inclusion of traditional songs before games that weren’t previously present: This is the One (Man United); Blue Moon (City), Liquidator (Chelsea).. theyre all there and it’s a nice touch. However, for everything good this FIFA does, at a minimum it does an equal number of things badly... Defending is considerably harder this year, which isn’t necessarily a bit thing as long as there was reasoning behind it. However, a lot of the tackling doesn’t make sense and the AI does nothing to help you in situations where it usually would.

    Presentation wise, despite what I said before, seems to be lagging at this point. The same reused animations for the last 6 years, along with commentary that’s in desperate need of innovation... also, a small point - Man United walk out of the OT tunnel on the wrong side?... like, this is very menial but Jesus Christ it’s a basic unnecessary error. You only have to watch a United game to see they walk out on the opposite side...

    As for the goalkeeping, don’t get me started. A top keeper can go from making an unbelievable close range save to watching a slow 40 yard shot just meander in without making an attempt to save, very odd.

    What’s also painfully evident at this point is the triggered animations and the general AI positioning. Everything feels pre determined and it’s completely unintuitive with being able to make decisions on the fly. Your players also don’t move in to space and hang offside a lot of the time. These floors are becoming painfully obviously in a next gen era where the likes of PES are so superior gameplay wise it’s not even funny.

    As for game modes... FUT is what it is - the cash cow that keep EA Sports relevant. Without it they’d be nothing with the quality of the game they produce. I personally don’t play it, namely because I don’t fancy investing $100’s to just get a half decent team.

    As for everything else... career mode is disappointingly stale now, despite them banging on about changes they’re pretty rudimentary and really don’t make much difference to the experience at all... Volta? Genuinely what is the point. It’s not fun, it’s not fifa street, so just can it. So what to say... you’d hope they pulled a half arsed effort out because they’re concentrating on the next gen version of the game. That’s the optimistic take, but I’m sure they’ll just keep churning out mediocrity until the end of days... so sad, this series used to be so cutting edge and enjoyable.    … Expand

    Remember when people talked about how AI was going to take over the world? Rest assured, FIFA21's AI isn't that smart. Even the IQ of my toaster is greater than that.

    You can make the game much better by only considering the successful points made in FIFA19 and PES2013 and the mods made by the mod communities. I'm afraid PES2022 will be better than FIFA22.

    Much like it's predecessor, FIFA 21 fails to innovate in almost every game mode. The manager mode introduces several new features, yet still feels in need of an overhaul. FIFA's flagship game mode in ultimate team remains largely unchanged, a few icons have been added and the added peripherals provide little reason to sink in endless hours into it all over again.

I decided to buy this one since it was on sale for 10 dollars, so I though “sure, why not?” It’s painful to see how little this game has changed in the past 4 years. It feels like almost exactly the same game as 17 except I’d say the goal keepers are worse than before (I can’t speak for 18, 19 or 20 since I didn’t play those). Defending still feels like your players don’t entirely understand how to play their position since at times they will leave players wide open for an easy goal (I play on world class difficulty so this CANNOT happen). Attacking also largely feels the same, it’s very easy and straightforward to find an opening and thread the ball between the defenders for the most part. Over the head through balls feel really overpowered and way too easy to perform. Since every team plays exactly the same, once you’ve found a strategy that works for you, you’ll pretty much always be able to create chances on goal no matter which team you play. It’s a simple rinse and repeat, the thing that will cause you to lose games is whether you’re able to capitalize on your chances or not. Since there are often times the AI will score on you even though you did nothing wrong, or couldn’t have prevented them from scoring because your AI defense left them open, this is what will ultimately decide if you win or lose in the end. Not because you didn’t play better or because you played worse, but because the AI decided certain things were going to happen. I’m not saying this is “scripting” but you could certainly argue that the AI seems to plan out certain things. Overall, the game really hasn’t changed much. Career mode is largely the same, ultimate team seems to have gotten all the focus as usual. If you see it for dirt cheap like I did, and you don’t have PES (which is a much better game in my opinion), then go for it, it’s worth 10 or less dollars, but any more than that and I’d say don’t waste your money.… Expand

Frostbite isn’t made for sports games, FIFA has proved this the past few years with lacklustre releases that resemble players ice skating round a pitch rather than running. Whilst both FIFA and PES have flaws, the latter is a mile ahead with gameplay and that’s even with their own Fox Engine issues. If you want a soccer sim avoid FIFA, it might look pretty (most of the time) but it’s certainly not a realistic depiction of the beautiful game.

    FIFA has always been flash with very little substance especially at the end of this console generation with it’s only real appeal being it having licenses (which can easily be loaded into PES in less that 10 minutes using an option file). FIFA 21 is no different, it’s pretty much the same game as 21 with a comical “Agile Dribble” which looks ludicrously unrealistic when players such as CBs can do it at will. Players still feel wayward, defending is as bad as it has ever been and the inevitable scripting is there with some very obvious bugs where defenders stop balls with superhuman stretches and balls getting stuck on the crossbar amongst others.

    The fact that so-called journalists are giving this game 80+ ratings is a joke, scores reserved for Good games that aren’t full priced updates of an already stagnant formula that seriously needs a shake up with PES changing engines for 2022. It shows you can’t trust those sites, stick to YouTube and listen to people who aren’t EA influencers or on the end of their ad money.

    Career Mode has gotten some attention which has been sorely needed but when the game is in the state it is, where’s the fun or point of even putting time in? EA wants you to be playing FUT, spending money on a team that will reset next you and you need to start all over again.

    Avoid FIFA, avoid EA’s production line sports titles which are regurgitated every year with very little improvement yet they still expect you to fork out the price of an AAA game. But people won’t, they’ll buy FIFA and will just enable EA to keep releasing rubbish.    … Expand

    Fifa 21 follows the same trend of the yearly released titles, the difference with Fifa 21 is that it feels less like a new game but more like a refined experience of Fifa 20 with small changes. Each review I do of a Fifa game seem to be very similar perhaps this will change when more effort is put into the game.

Each review I do of a Fifa game seem to be very similar perhaps this will change when more effort is put into the game.

    Every year we seemingly get very little return on the money we invest into EA's Fifa title, this year is no different. The career mode changes with regards to player growth EA decided to borrow a lot from PES so that every player can have a plan to grow and improve. So, however long Fifa has been around it has took this long for the ability to change a player position it doesn't seem groundbreaking because its not. Once again EA also recycle old content and bring it back to make it out as if they're doing something new, yes the loan to buy option is back. In summary the changes made are minimal and seem lazy.

    Gameplay follows the same trend of Fifa 20, if you didn't have some minor UI changes and new kits you'd be forgiven for mistaking Fifa 21 for last years game. The changes to gameplay are more in the responsiveness of trick moves, last years Fifa had a seeming delay behind tricks and often times they wouldn't register. Some AI changes have happened as well you will see your players make better runs and throughballs seem better for cutting teams open, you can also direct your AI teammates with what direction they run. Minor changes, but overall welcome which improves on 20. Finally, ofcourse, its not a Fifa without the weird scripting this year no different the system is here to stay im afraid.

    Graphically the game is starting to show signs of age, nearly every year and we see little change with this either. Generic non scanned faces are hard to look at, this is something that needs to be upgraded on but for whatever reasons its not. Another issue is not enough scanned faces and EA's lack of drive to add more and give the fans a means to add them themselves.

    I haven't really touched Ultimate Team, but I don't think this detracts from my review. The audio is fine usual old typical Fifa tracks, nothing that really adds to a higher overall score of the game.

    Finally, capping my review off with some important point for you to consider before purchasing this. This game is more like a seasonal update, ask yourself this, is a game with a few years work done on it worth the same as games with 5 year plus cycles? I believe PES 21 did the right thing, they did an update and didn't charge the excessive unfair amount that EA expect you to pay for 21 whilst going through the usual rubbish grind with Ultimate Team pack openings. I am aware iv went down into a bit of a rant, but how far does a company have to delve before the consumers call them out on it? Verdict, its good to see career mode get a little attention but its simply not enough. There isn't enough meat on the bone 4/10. Could have been a 7 or 8 if it was packaged rightfully as a seasonal update.    … Expand

    The gameplay started to be nice, but later on, there comes a lot of patches, making it harder to get along within the game. Just a watch a couple of videos and depending on the latest patches, you will see some laws of physics bending bugs like balls-through-bodies or having your defenders running away from a ball, they most definitely would have intercepted. Whats my point ? It’s not a football / Fussball / Soccer simulation if I am not in control of the action. Will this improve over time ? Probably , but I really wonder if the developers want you to pay a lot or if they want to deliver an impressive simulation. Time will tell.

    There are some things though, that I like about the game and it is the amount of content and special cards I could get in the first three moth of playing. But I beg you , if you love football simulations as much as I do, don’t spend to much money. I had the best season ever without spending cash extra, and it made the experience much easier for me to know that I can proceed in the game without paying. But until Fifa decides , that this game is about skills rather then it being a rail-simulation, we just gotta wait and see. Or maybe we take a glance on a famous Japanese company who came up with a cool simulation a couple of years ago.    … Expand

    I bought this game 2 days ago and I already regret the purchase. EA what on earth are you doing? FIFA 13 was my first FIFA and also my favorite, would play the game for hours without stopping, passing worked, tackling worked, crosses and headers worked, defending worked, attacking was awesome and best of all anyone could play anyway they liked, and it all simply worked.

    14 was    I bought this game 2 days ago and I already regret the purchase. EA what on earth are you doing? FIFA 13 was my first FIFA and also my favorite, would play the game for hours without stopping, passing worked, tackling worked, crosses and headers worked, defending worked, attacking was awesome and best of all anyone could play anyway they liked, and it all simply worked.

    14 was essentially the same but players couldn't turn quick enough and headers were somewhat OP, so i kept playing 13, 15 was okay too but this was where it started that the game wouldn't let me play how I wanted, it was like I was actively playing against the game itself. Didn't play 16 & 17, 18 was okay but nowhere near as good as 13-15, but i still enjoyed 18 quite a bit, 19 was horrible (time finesse nonsense), skipped 20, and now we have 21.

    But this 21, EA what is this, is this even football? This is not football!! as much as i hated 19, it was still football, i could attack, defend, players could actually turn and move and etc... But this 21, what is even happening in this game?

    Defenders just stand there and let attackers pass them.
    Standing tackles don't work (tactical defending has been ruined).
    Defenders are so slow I just don't understand.
    Players (especially defenders) turn too slowly.
    Player switching is erratic, the right stick switching is more reliable.
    Attacking AI runs are better, but i think this is just because the defense is horrible.
    A lot of times when you successfully tackle, you get stuck to the opponent and he still gets the ball back.
    When I get tackled, my player refuses to recover for a good second, they get stuck in this weird passive animation, i just don't understand.
    A lot of times, players just dont react to loose balls as if they're not concerned.
    Passes a lot of times go to the wrong person, like i was aiming at the other guy, what's happening?
    Interceptions are just weird and inconsistent.
    Feints are ultra OP.

    EA has even managed to automate everything, the game basically plays itself.
    In the controls we have;
    Auto shoot
    Auto block
    Auto dribble

    What's left for me to do if i enable all these? And one cant disable the auto block because all your opponents are using it, if you disable it you'll never win anything.

    Also we have keeper assisted saves, mine is on semi and I the difference is glaring when playing against others, there keepers are just saving everything, now i have to put mine on assisted too.

    Even when i play bad passes the game autocorrects the trajectory and makes it a good pass by force. What's all this?

    Now playing against others is just a horrible experience, i can tell these guys are bad players and I still lose anyways, now why is this?

    1. All they do is run with fast players and do feints, now my defense just cant handle feints for some reason.
    2. Stats are everything in this game, I play online seasons with atletico madrid and everyone else uses Real Madrid, Barca, Liverpool, PSG or Bayern, that's it almost always these teams. It's so hard playing against these big clubs because the difference in stats is just too much. Eventually i switched to Man City, played against a guy using Athletico, and after 2-0 by 10 minutes he quit the game, I had to message him to not bother using atletico.
    3. Most use constant pressure and well they just wont lemme breathe throughout the match. Sometimes I can swear people are using legacy defending.

    EA, your game does not work, why can't we just have a good game at launch, why? All these mechanics worked when i played FIFA 13, i never complained about passing, defending or player switching, how is it that you're just making the game worse every year, how?

    At this point I'll just settle for a FIFA 13 remaster or something.

    And for some reason, the UI is laggy, SMH.    … Expand

    The game is very good, but it is terrible, because I've lost 10 hours of gameplay because my fifa 21 just have crashed. I've payed R$400 in this trash and it was I've received

    Fifa 20 is no different. The only good thing is the innovations in the career mode.

    Argubly one of the worse sports games ever. The defending is a joke, every team you play against plays the same style of play and keeps the ball for ages and then you just counter amd score. Every game finishes 4-5 or 5-3. Such a joke

    Gra git ale w Division źle dobiera przeciwników w lidze 9 nie da się wygrać bo grasz tylko z zawodnikami z grającymi jak zawodnicy z 1 ligi . Na początku roku była fajna ale od lutego się popsuła.

    After 3 years of being on team PES I started feeling that there HAS to be a better football experience so I decided to go back to FIFA just to give it a try.

    The last decent FIFA I played was 17, 18 was quite bad and 19 was just unplayable and that is where I switched to PES.

    The last decent FIFA I played was 17, 18 was quite bad and 19 was just unplayable and that is where I switched to PES. Sitting down to play FIFA for the first time since 2018 was certainly quite a shock. To sum it up - this has nothing to do with football, it's a football game for people who have never watched football.

    Let's start with the pros - good soundtrack. Volta is also ok.

    Now time for the cons:
    The gameplay is disgustingly awful. Nothing has weight to it, the scripting is absurd, players are flying all over the place, you need to attempt a body slam to get a foul and the skill moves are pulled straight out of shaolin soccer - this is not what football looks or feels like.
    The presentation is actually awful. I had gotten used to people telling me that PES doesn't have good presentation but I decided that I was making a trade - presentation for good gameplay. But nah, most of the players look NOTHING like their real life counterparts, a hefty amount are using VERY OLD (we're talking 2015) player models and a very small fraction are actually up to date and looking like the real deal. Menues feel laggy and the graphics have this "coated in vaseline" feel to them.

    The only game mode that has received any attention is FUT which has always been a waste of time to me. Everything else is more or less the exact same as it was back in 2018.

    EA have once again managed to hit a new low... and no one is surprised.    … Expand

    I'm sorry, but this is a real review, not a review bombing. I bought the game hoping that the career mode changes made it more interesting offline, but this new feature made the game an unuseful hybrid between football manager and the old Fifa.
    Moreover i found the gameplay a big step back from the last Fifa i bought (Fifa 19), Footballers animation are a lot worse than years before,    I'm sorry, but this is a real review, not a review bombing.

    Moreover i found the gameplay a big step back from the last Fifa i bought (Fifa 19), Footballers animation are a lot worse than years before, every aspect of the gameplay is far far similar from a real football match, thing that i can accept in FUT, but not in the career mode.
    Defense AI is one of the ugliest seen ever in a sport game, there is always a man free to shoot in the penalty area, and it happens both for you and for the opponents, making the matches finish at unrealistic results like 4-4 or 6-5.
    In conclusion i think that those were the 69 euros worst spent in videogames of my life, leaving me with big disappointment.
    I gave EA the last chance, but the result i far from a good game    … Expand

    This is the worst in the series in some time. It plays out like a cartoon. Any hint of realistic game play has been done away with to appease players that were unhappy last year with the pace system. Games can still feel scripted. Defender A.I. is still lacking and the career mode has changes but they are ones that no one really asked for. Goal Keepers are atrocious at every level.

The game is garbage and EA have some stones on them charging €60 for it.… Expand

    The game is incredibly unbalanced in terms of attack and defense, implying in a less realistic football environment. Still could have some hours of fun with the game, but that's not the point.

    Played FIFA for years, at this point have entirely given up on FUT due to the canyon sized gap between players who spend real money and those who don't. This review deals primarily with career mode or games vs. the AI. The rating is only a 3 due to the options and diversity available in career mode. Everything else about the systems operation when playing the AI is abysmal. RoutinelyPlayed FIFA for years, at this point have entirely given up on FUT due to the canyon sized gap between players who spend real money and those who don't. This review deals primarily with career mode or games vs. the AI. The rating is only a 3 due to the options and diversity available in career mode. Everything else about the systems operation when playing the AI is abysmal. Routinely finishing games with the AI/Human GK save count at 13/1 or 16/0. Ending games with 16-23 tackles, 0 fouls, but significantly less possession because the ball bounces back to the Ai every. single. time. Not to mention the number of incredibly cheap fouls on the last man or a man in the box that either do not get called or don't produce a card. AI defending is solid at times, at other times hysterically bad, but the worst aspect of defense this year is the case of the always missing full-backs. It simply does not matter what your LB/RB's work rate is, what his/her positioning rating is, the instructions you use, or the position adjustments you make. No matter what you do, one or both of these players will track to the very center of the midfield, almost to the CDM position. The AI will receive the ball high up the pitch, make two below average passes, and then blast a full-field through ball down the wing which, regardless of who you've brought back to defend it, will work. Then comes the classic sprint to the sideline and retain possession because every steal goes out of bounds. It's no exaggeration to say this happens, minimum, 15-25 times a game depending on AI possession. Even when it's not threatening or even when your fullbacks are pacey, it still ruins whatever realistic feel might have been there originally. The only defense is spamming offsides trap. Maybe just one attempt to attack up the middle, out of the hundreds and hundreds of attempts to the exact same spot down the wing would be a good idea. It is possible, through significant manipulation of the sliders, except for the GK slider which is broken (yours will always get beaten 90-95% of the time and the AI will always save it 90-95% of the time except on rare occasions against bad teams) to enjoy a season or two on career mode. Granted, we sound a tad spoiled considering EA's FIFA is one of the best soccer simulations available but there are obvious, obvious errors with the new features promised each year. If a collection of gamers on reddit and twitter can figure out how to patch those gaping holes with only things like sliders, it shouldn't be that hard for EA to do the same. Overall, if you're looking for a calming experience with a game, you're in the wrong place. But, if you're hopelessly addicted to this series of games as most of us are, wait for the next title. Hopefully it'll be better.… 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]

    A consummate package of shooting, slide tackling and swearing, but with some familiar current-gen frustrations. The saving grace could be FIFA 21’s free PS5 upgrade. [Issue#182, p.137]
