    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.

    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.    … Expand

    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    Goalkeepers are very very very bad, and not stopping much tbh.

    Anything that goes in the air is almost impossible to defend. The bots are extremely slow and you can't play like that. DEFENDING IS JUST IMPOSSIBLE. you have to score 5 goals a match in order to properly win a game

    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.

Also please please stop with the skills leave that to volta or whatever as hardly anyone in real life ever does stupid skills in a real football match ea love them and as soon as you do them you cannot get near the player and they just run through your team!

Somehow the most important aspect of their game remains just as broken as it was when i played FIFA 19.

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.

    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.

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.    … Expand

    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]
