    You would seriously have to wonder has anyone in the EA development team watched a game of football before? A truly horrific experience.

A truly horrific experience. You only need to play against the AI to see the game has many exploits and broken mechanics. The funniest part is that the AI will utilise these broken mechanics in order to win, showing us that EA know that they are releasing a game whereby certain mechanics can be used to win, and they do it themselves. I've never seen anything like it from a company who so blatantly release broken games year after year, and now they actively abuse their own haphazard design? Defending is non existent and if anyone at EA reads this, not every foul is a yellow card. Playing games on legendary difficulty will just result in a game where the AI will abuse impossible dribbling techniques and pass the ball around the back for the whole game. Let's not even mention the shielding technique which makes it impossible to get to the ball. Honestly EA, just have done untold damage to your reputation these last few years and it won't ever come back. The worst game I have ever played, a player rating of 0.8 is too generous Expand

Seriously EA do you think that gamers are so stupid to belive in your words? I am scared to even think how the game would look like without changeing a release date. Trash, stupid arcade game for Kids. It is outrageous !! Dont buy the game, dont waste the money like I did Expand

    Опять все та же FIFA 19, баги, графика, да притом начали терять лицензию на клубы, хотя деньги текут рекой от идиотов, вливающих в этот продукт низкого качества. Этот продукт достоин приобретения только на распродаже в 90%.

    Same ol bad Fifa. No effort from EA to improve. Still bad passing, pin ball football with random shooting, slow animations and AI is still on all time low. The graphics do NOT save it for me.If you hate the 19 and 20 version , skip this one - it is pretty much the same bad game.

    The game is totally awful ! Everywhere full of bug ! Goalkeeper can’t take a simple ball ! Defenders are just potatoes ! Some top players are extraordinary uncontrollable ! Stadiums are the same ! Fans are the same ! Celebrations are sucks ! I recommend not to waste you money on this !

FIFA 13 was my first FIFA and also my favorite, would play the game for hours without stopping, passing worked, tackling worked, crosses and headers worked, defending worked, attacking was awesome and best of all anyone could play anyway they liked, and it all simply worked.

    I bought this game 2 days ago and I already regret the purchase. EA what on earth are you doing? FIFA 13 was my first FIFA and also my favorite, would play the game for hours without stopping, passing worked, tackling worked, crosses and headers worked, defending worked, attacking was awesome and best of all anyone could play anyway they liked, and it all simply worked.

    14 was essentially the same but players couldn't turn quick enough and headers were somewhat OP, so i kept playing 13, 15 was okay too but this was where it started that the game wouldn't let me play how I wanted, it was like I was actively playing against the game itself. Didn't play 16 & 17, 18 was okay but nowhere near as good as 13-15, but i still enjoyed 18 quite a bit, 19 was horrible (time finesse nonsense), skipped 20, and now we have 21.

    But this 21, EA what is this, is this even football? This is not football!! as much as i hated 19, it was still football, i could attack, defend, players could actually turn and move and etc... But this 21, what is even happening in this game?

    Defenders just stand there and let attackers pass them.
    Standing tackles don't work (tactical defending has been ruined).
    Defenders are so slow I just don't understand.
    Players (especially defenders) turn too slowly.
    Player switching is erratic, the right stick switching is more reliable.
    Attacking AI runs are better, but i think this is just because the defense is horrible.
    A lot of times when you successfully tackle, you get stuck to the opponent and he still gets the ball back.
    When I get tackled, my player refuses to recover for a good second, they get stuck in this weird passive animation, i just don't understand.
    A lot of times, players just dont react to loose balls as if they're not concerned.
    Passes a lot of times go to the wrong person, like i was aiming at the other guy, what's happening?
    Interceptions are just weird and inconsistent.
    Feints are ultra OP.

    EA has even managed to automate everything, the game basically plays itself.
    In the controls we have;
    Auto shoot
    Auto block
    Auto dribble

    What's left for me to do if i enable all these? And one cant disable the auto block because all your opponents are using it, if you disable it you'll never win anything.

    Also we have keeper assisted saves, mine is on semi and I the difference is glaring when playing against others, there keepers are just saving everything, now i have to put mine on assisted too.

    Even when i play bad passes the game autocorrects the trajectory and makes it a good pass by force. What's all this?

    Now playing against others is just a horrible experience, i can tell these guys are bad players and I still lose anyways, now why is this?

    1. All they do is run with fast players and do feints, now my defense just cant handle feints for some reason.
    2. Stats are everything in this game, I play online seasons with atletico madrid and everyone else uses Real Madrid, Barca, Liverpool, PSG or Bayern, that's it almost always these teams. It's so hard playing against these big clubs because the difference in stats is just too much. Eventually i switched to Man City, played against a guy using Athletico, and after 2-0 by 10 minutes he quit the game, I had to message him to not bother using atletico.
    3. Most use constant pressure and well they just wont lemme breathe throughout the match. Sometimes I can swear people are using legacy defending.

    EA, your game does not work, why can't we just have a good game at launch, why? All these mechanics worked when i played FIFA 13, i never complained about passing, defending or player switching, how is it that you're just making the game worse every year, how?

    At this point I'll just settle for a FIFA 13 remaster or something.

    And for some reason, the UI is laggy, SMH.

    El peor fifa de la historia. Todos Los n jugadores pisan la pelota como si fueran Neymar.

    The ONLY GOOD thing is THE LICENSES, which would be too good for PES; FIFA is a game created reluctantly that you reach the goal with just 3 passes, completely boring, meaningless to the most loved sport in the world. NOTHING RECOMMENDED.

    Without a doubt, the worst fifa I have ever played and I have played fifa since 1994. I did not think they could make the game any worse than fifa 20 but they proved me wrong. It is so scripted and pay 2 win to the point, they don't even try to hide it anymore. Save your £60 and don't buy this crappy game

    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]
