    Tutti questi voti negativi sono ingiusti, tralasciando l'online, che ormai al giorno d'oggi è scandaloso quasi ovunque, l'offline è tanta ma tanta roba !! Giocatelo full manual con visuale televisiva, cercate di simulare azioni di calcio , e guardate cosa è il vero fifa ..cosa può diventare ♥️ . Promosso a pieni voti ♥️

    This game is an insult to any football lover it’s year after year of virtual extortion. I’m tired of playing every game and having 9 goal score lines on AVERAGE. This is **** Patch the game and actually spend time on gameplay instead of this FUT loot box nonsense. Utter disgrace

    Worst game ever. Last time i played a fifa it was fifa 16.

    Absolutely ridiculous. I have never been so powerlessly disappointed with a football game. I have played Fifa 06, 07, 08, 09, 10, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 and PES 6, 2008—2020. I would swap FIFA 21 for ANY of the others.

    The only good thing is the squad update, that's all there is. Could have been a patch for fifa 20, except this is not fifa anymore it is PES from the Playstation 2 era, arcade football game. Defender are useless even if you tried as hard as you can, goalkeepers are non existent, everyone can score goal, finishing doesn't matter anyone.

    It probably doesn't deserve a 0 as a standalone game, but the fact is they have taken fifa 20 and made it play badly. The AI is my biggest gripe.

In defence the AI allows defenders to stand well and truly out of position. To have centrebacks jogging back from halfway while an opposing winger is streaking down the sideline is atrocious AI. In attack, the best goals I've scored have been when the AI has pinged a pass that was a good 90 degrees off where I had my stick pointed. Attackers make great runs and either stop as you play the ball through, or the through ball will be absurdly wrong. Most of the goals conceded and scored by me have been pure garbage. The really fast players, particularly mane, are so fast the look surreal in the way they run. It seems to be impossible to tell if your ayer is going to give a first time pass or take a touch. The games seems to decide if if it wants you to be tackled and takes that extra touch. There is zero skill to scoring from shots. You either get in position for that diagonal shot or you have your shot blocked. If there is a defender anywhere near by your player will take forever to wind up a shot. I'm really hoping they can fix this pile of **** with some updates..… Expand

    The fifa community is critizing the game every year but everyone knows you will buy the game even if you know nothing will improve.

    Usually leaving FUT with 1000 more wins than losses by the time the new skin comes out. (Cos thats just how i roll)

    As for FIFA 21 in particular. I seriously have very little idea what is going on for the most part. Its genuine carnage. If i wanted to play destruction derby 2 id play destruction derby 2.
    Likewise if i wanted to play a rugby game id play a rugby game. If you dont want to try play the beautiful game but yet u want to win matches on fifa i suggest passing the ball one player at a time to the wide position then run for a try just like rugby. Seems to be the best bet.

    Why is there no safe side to pass the ball too?

    You cant build an attack up theres zero way of moving the teams around the pitch using creativity it just doesnt work.. the reward u get for being clever in this game is punishment ..

    For example... Passing the ball around and its all compact and tight with very little room for manoeuvre,

    Ur opponent gets caught out From a lovely little move in the pitch now there is room to exploit finally you play the simple pass for it to be cut out somehow? 1 pass from what looked like aimless clearance
    To the furthest forward player that none of ur 11 men want to step in front of and mop up simply like they would in football for some reason The all new collision system kicks in turns it into some sort of winner takes all tussle (the rest of the team sit and watch they do not consider any sort of danger)
    Lucky irish striker rick oshea gets in on goal and scores. Rewarded for zero thought. Ive been told many of time to.. do it back to them.. but im sorry i want to play a football game.. ive had tellens in the past i grew out the aimless stuff yet im thrown back im just because im a fan of football!! EA STOP! You have proven you do not know what football is. Also i think you have glitched the nhl pitches into fifa because it feels like you have zero imput when it comes to player movement If football was kicking it unto an empty space for a fast guy then usian bolt wouldnt have been binned when he tried it.. give us a break! Swore in fifa 20 id nevee give them a penny again and i fell into the trap just because its gonna give u it on ps5 as well, this game has made my whole perception of the new console change completely because if this is whats getting sold for a brand new futuristic console then im sorry im either done with gaming all together or im the best game developer in the world, i just haven't tried yet!    … Expand

    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.

    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.

Juego sin terminar y lleno de errores, con una jugabilidad obligatoria si quieres poder competir en la cual es mas efectivo hacer regates am aire que tratar de descomponer la defensa con buen movimiento de balon. Considero que este juego no se parece en nada al futbol. En el FUT existe un meta muy cerrado si quieres poder competi, en el cual si te sales de los jugadores met, por muy bueno que sea realmente en atributos y en el futbol real ese jugador, no vas a poder hacer nada. Ejemplo de esto el caso de lo frustrante que llega a ser enfrentar a diego carlos o joe gomez, jugadores de 83 de media, y lo facil que mis rivales corriendo recto se vuelven inparables con jugadores tales como chiellini o koulibaly, con 88 y 87 de media. Ademas cabe resaltar los voraces micropagos, lo cual hace que los jugadores mas fuertes del meta, independientemente de su media, esten a unos precios prohibitivos para jugadores que nos negamos a los micropagos que afectan al juego como es el caso. Y pasando a hablar de los defectos en jugabilidad, defensas inutiles dependientes por completo de jugar repliegue y auto block de los tiros, puesto que los porteros no paran ni un taxi. El pase suda por completo, es decir, es mas eficiente un mediocampo basado en velocidad con de jong, marcos llorente y valverde, que uno basado en lo que realmente importaria, media, pase y equilibrio defensivo. Como ejemplo a esto, llorente roba el doble de balones que casemiro, simplemente por el hecho de correr mas. Ademas añadir lo frustrante que llega a ser el hecho de que independientemente del atributo pase de tu jugador, el balon ira a donde le salga de las pilotas a EA. Este juego llega a ser una experiencia frustrante, aburrida y repetitiva, que incrementa mas con la toxicidad de una comunidad que solo piensa en ganar aunque tenga que vender a su abuela para lograrlo.
    Fuera de eso, en otros modos de juego no han cambiado nada de nada, clubes pro con una jugabilidad lamentable, como el año anterior, modo carrera acaba siendo aburrido y repetitivo por no hablar del "magnifico" ( notese el sarcasmo ) volta. Llevo jugando fifa desde el 2005, y es imparable la decadencia de la saga, que cada vez piensa mas en un modo sin futuro como estan haciendolo y es FUT y sinceramente pienso que este año el juego vive de los micropagos de algunos que prefieren meterle 1000 euros al mes al juego, que dejar el juego morir y que EA se de cuebta que asi no puede seguir. Para el año no comprare FIFA ni sin querer, ya normalmente no llego a jugar mas de 3 meses pero este me canso en 2 semanas. Gran acierto de PES el no vender como nuevo lo mismo sino una actu.
    EA deberia abrir los ojos de una vez y darse cuenta que si sigue teniendo jugadores es porque por ahora no hay real competencia, pero a este ritmo alguien lo aprovechara y matar la saga.
    Y me gustaría añadir para los que dicen que si te quejas de la defensa aprende a defender, que puede decir que defiendo bastante bien, y que si me maracan porque dembele es 8 veces mas fuertw que chiellini o koulibaly pues no es mi culpa. Y tñpara los listos que hablan de si te quejas de clmo es el juego es porque no has tocado un balón en tu vida, he jugado al futbol, lo veo aub a dia de hoy y sebque si yo tengo que defender aun tio dandome vueltas delante como una peonza, le parto la pierna y se acabo, no me mete gol ni giro a su alrededor como un tontopolla.    … 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]
