    Its my fault that I had high expectations from EA this year. And sadly, yet again, EA disappoints. FIFA 21 is basically FIFA 2020 with a new cover. Thumbs down!

    Regret buying this game already and only played it for a day, I love career mode but am unable to play it as anytime I simulate a match I can guarantee at least two severe injuries with the injured players out for at least two months. Pathetic game from a pathetic money grabbing t*** of a company.

    No changes at all, lazy developing with nothing new added. The gameplay is the same no efforts to change it. The small changes made have made it worse, now you can’t tackle. Crossing still awful, and heading a ball seems to be something you can’t do. Kept scripting in because everyone loves to play a game with a predetermined outcome. career mode always over looked, the changes they madeNo changes at all, lazy developing with nothing new added.

Ultimate team needs to be banned or removed from the game. If it stays in the game then you should not be able to pay for packs. Expand

    Absolutely awful, how can it get worse every year. Something needs to be done to stop this shambles. Pay £90 (Ultimate Edition) for the same game with a few changes to make it different but still the same. EA should be sued for this.

    Same again. Career mode includes some football manager style additions but largely the same again. It needs a big revamp.

    It is a card trading game and not a football game.
    The cancer that is FUT has destroyed it completely.

    As a FIFA player since 2002 and its as if FIFA is simply getting worse year in and out. The gameplay is quite mediocre and has no realism at all. THE DYNAMICS ARE ABYSMAL! Can't believe they would rob someone out of $100 for a version of ultimate team that is the worst thing I've ever played. Should have saved my money or maybe a transition in to PES is needed now.

    Get rid of packs! Absolutely awful development for the entire game to be based on purchasing micro transactions and not creating a better pro clubs experience or any other mode for that matter. All that matters is the money to EA. Pitiful.

    Absolutely disgusting game. There used to be a time when FIFA and PES would compete to be the best football sim game. Nowadays FIFA is just an arcade game for little kids who are just trigger happy with their mums Visa and want to buy packs and do tricks.

    The amount of goals scored in each match is incredible (6-3, 7-2, 5-4, 4-4, etc). Should have named it Volleyball 21. The gameplay is

    The amount of goals scored in each match is incredible (6-3, 7-2, 5-4, 4-4, etc). Should have named it Volleyball 21. The gameplay is not realistic AT ALL. If you're good with skills and the "new" agile dribbling crap you'll score a tonne of goals but passing doesn't get you anywhere.

    Tackling is horrifying, you tackle and the ball is just put in a 50/50 situation with 99% of the time your defender blanking and leaving it there. Scripting is still here of course and don't even get me started on the AI or lack of. Best one so far is having my opponent come 1 v 2 and my 2 defenders just wanted to go check how the sidelines were doing. Even a pass going by less than 30cm from a defenders foot and doesnt even bother to intercept it.

    I've been buying fifa since 09 now - this is my last one (including all other EA games). Very disappointed i can't sell it as I bought the digital version.

    Absolutely shocking. Just a re-hashed FIFA 19/20 absolutely pointless. At least PES have been honest and said it's not changed and only charged for a season update for the people that are bothered about kits. Would love a 3rd company to come into the football world. FIFA is just pay to win on FUT unless you can spend hours and hours per day. If you're working full-time then it's notAbsolutely shocking. Just a re-hashed FIFA 19/20 absolutely pointless.

    The same as it has been for 5-6 years, how shameful for big company like EA to get so greedy. I can’t believe players like Mbappe are taking a part in ad campaigns and take money so EA can continue this sh*t

    Definitely it’s not fair to loyal fans to just copy & paste the same thing every year EA. Honestly I wish I could of returned 20 when I bought it, in that case I’m already playing 21. But this year I’m forced to PES 21 a way better football experience.

    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]
