    Neglected career mode as per usual except a couple of minor changes. Player career mode is untouched, these are two modes that have untapped potential and it's a shame to see it so neglected. Late to the review party, but seeing the 0.7 it's vastly deserving of much less than that.

    I've been playing fifa for nearly 20 years and this is the worst one they've made yet. They release the same terrible game every year now.

    FUT is shocking I wonder if my keeper is actually playing or if it is just a hologram. Every single shot goes into the net. It’s all based on pace again, yet low shot, low strength players still beat your slightly slower but supposidly better stat players. Awful !!    … Expand

    I havent bought it, but played at my friends. We both are really good players, eve though we were able to score easily 6-7 goals. Defending is just shambles in here. Like last year the game is scripted towards the end

    To easy to score and to difficult to defend. The only thing that has improved are the crosses, but everything else is even worse then fifa 20. Besides that no real changes were made to the game in comparison to fifa 20.

    What the f*** is the defence AI? It is the most horrendous thing I have ever used. It just doesn't help. Players with the ball inches away don't make the least of efforts to tackle it. Defenders only run when the attacker is already 1on1 with the keeper. Goals are so easy that every single one is equal to previous. Go waste your money on a knew sweater!

    Absolute dog poo. Scripted nonsense. Penalties given left right and centre, low cross is broken, division placement is unreal. Waste of money. Hoping they've put their efforts into the ps5 version. The only reason I won't ask for a refund

    Same **** every year, maybe instead of releasing a new game every year you should just update the squads until you come up with something fresh.

Those mechanics I like are a part of the franchise so I will not consider them in the review of a single title, it's like giving a car a good review because it has an engine. Since Fifa 16 the gameplay has actually got increasingly worse every year, there has been attempts to add some nice feature but each year EA have a habit of making the game suit the player who does nothing but play FIFA. To elaborate on that, I mean that they release the game with some decent new functionality and then a YouTuber finds a way to exploit a problem and then it becomes the only way to win. I thought that they might have learned from FIFA 20, the game went the entire run without 2 main mechanics ever working, heading and timed finishing. Last year stamina was a joke, people used team press and constant pressure to win games, the main issue being that for some reason those tactics effected the opponent's team and AI , misplaced passes from 2 yards, AI teammates running away from play and to make it worse there was no effect of the users stamina, it's the same this year. The free flowing and fun football experience is destroyed by every single player using the same completely unrealistic tactic. The worst thing is that when EA do fix it the same players start to complain because they don't know how to play the game without an exploited tactic and then EA change it back and call it "more balanced". FIFA 21 is another lazy, badly designed and maintained game that we have come to expect from a money grabbing company like EA. Will I play it, of course, it's FIFA and I will complain about the broken mechanics and refuse to use exploited tactics each time. Hopefully PES use this year off to bring a big challenge to Fifa. They have already showed how easily a major patch could do everything that FIFA does with its yearly title release.… 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]
