    Bad gameplay favours people who just sit back and hit on counter if you play a high press contain game with skills like previous fifas you're just asking to get clapped on the counter attack by a mediocre player who can't pass can't do anything bar field 10 men in their box Ai blocking is ridiculous needs to be more manual cbs literally don't need to be used half of the time ai does all the work

    Worst fifa game i have ever encountered... O have had all versions since the 2004 version, and this is the worst of the pile... Does the goalkeepers even work in this game?!?! Career mode has improvements but is lacking a lot.. FUT is incredible bad

    Absolutely disgusting game! No skill required anymore to play this garbage! So fake and scripted! Defending is non existent, do the people who make these games not watch football in real life??? 4-4 at half time, 9-8 at full time!! Seriously

    Played fifa 20 and have been playing fifa 21 for 2 months and have to say that i would have more fun going to the casino and playing slots and betting my life away because that is just like playing fifa these days, ea have made one of the worst games known to consumers, just for their greedy company , if i could i would give this game a minus 10

    В этом году разработчики окончательно убрали мясо с джостиком из игрового процесса, все сам делает ИИ. забивает, пропускает, создает моменты и все, чем бы вы хотели управлять сами передано в руки нового улучшенного искуственного интеллекта.
    А ты, чмо с джойстиком, сиди и смотри как красиво нарисованы лица

    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

    You would think a game that came out every year could eventually get it right. Fifa has basically become a copy and paste from previous years, with minor changes. I'm not sure what game the professional reviewers are writing about, or is they have to say its good because it is very far from it.

    First up, the defence in this game is just...non-existent. They introduced more attacking "improvements" and once again have done nothing to make the defence any better. Often your players will just stand there and watch as the opposing players run past them, either with or without the ball. If you are playing with CM's then be prepared to have to control them ALL the time, otherwise the same above will happen, they will just stand there and rotate (not turn) as players walk past them. I cant even tell you how many times the ball has rolled only a few inches past them and they have done nothing, or had to watch as i control my cb to track a strikers run whilst my CM stands completely still as players walk past them.

    The game in an attacking sense is all about pace as well. Quicker players = better players. With the extremely over powered through ball combined with this pace and the inability to defend, it is next to impossible to defend, just sit back and hope for the best really. In about 95% of games i have played there has been over 5 goals in total. It becomes a game where literally every attack can lead to a goal.

    Goalkeepers may as well not be on the pitch, they are useless. Often they just fall under shots, and very rarely will actually save anything, let alone hold onto it. Most corners are punched out straight back to the opponent. If the ball goes back to a keeper from , say, an oppo bad through ball rather than being able to control the keeper they will normally slice the ball away for a throw in.

    Corners can be okay, but if the other team manages to win the ball it's very easy to score on the counter.

    In FUT (if you play that) the variety is gone. I remember the old fifas when this was about mixing teams up etc, now i rarely see a team i haven't played several times before (back 4 of mendy, varane, dijk walker).

    The matchmaking system is broken. It does not take into account the level of your team, only your skill rating, why not just combine the two? There is no point me with my average team constantly playing against people with in form ronaldo and other legends making up their team just because they have the same skill rating. The gap in sides you face negates the evenly matched skill rating. It also means there is no real point building any bronze/silver teams.

    And my final point, the broken mechanics of the game. A huge glaring one is kick off goals. For some reason after scoring, its very easy for the other team to simply run through your whole team and score a goal. Especially with the kick up "glitch", not necessarily a glitch but a player juggling a ball can travel from the halfway line through to the goal with relative ease. Its broken things like this that still have not been fixed, and ea probably wont bother until Fifa 22 comes out to do it.

    Before writing this i have played over 100 games, thinking that was a fair amount to give an honest and unbiased review of the game. It's completely broken. Defence as mentioned is pointless, the cpu off the ball do nothing to help anymore, instead just standing there and watching. Your best bet is basically to go for the all out attack. It isn't uncommon at all that i've found myself 3-0 down from 3 attacks in 20 minutes, only to win the game 8-3 in the end.

    Overall, the game is extremely bad, theres no way around that. FUT has lost any variety or need to build different teams as well.

    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]
