    1.)Same game as fifa 20. 2.)Some of the minor added features are features that were removed from previous fifas over a decade ago.
    3.)Too much football in this casino simulator.
    4.)MOST IMPORTANTLY... EA doesn't understand the football culture to ever improve on this foundation, hence the same game every year. STOP BUYING THIS TRASH, THEN MAYBE EA WILL DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. Otherwise

    Terrible game, terrible company. How they can continue to make games that contain gambling mechanics in games that are aimed at children is beyond me!

    U play soccer in this. It's a sport. Also, fifa is a big reason the playstation got off. For me, that was the end of nerd culture in a small way, the time when the big companies turned their back on the nerds to cater to the jocks and bullies. I hate this with all that i am.

    copy pasting the same game every year with new paint, despite having extra in-game revenue from FUT. don't know where all that money is going, definitely not into game dev. Laziest game production ever!!!

    I wanted to give the game a 1/10 because of the changes to the career mode but by doing so i would have risen its metascore and tbh i feel like 0.9 is just perfect for this copy-paste pile of ****

    Player switching is god awful. Passes seldom go to the right player. The runs are mostly wrong.

    Pay to win makes it a very unlevel playing field in online modes, career mode is severely lacking any changes for the last four years, club teams in lower leagues missing sponsors and is not an good experience.

I've only played FIFA since FIFA 98 so you'd think I'd be one of the best by now, but with my refusal to dig further in my pocket I am actually one of the worst players now, no fun and I'm sure controllers TVs and consoles will be destroyed in frustration from such an unfair game - not E-sports ready!!

    Why should review score terrorism for Nintendo switches be applied to PS4 or XBOX ONE????
    FIFA 21 for PS4 is fun and makes soccer a festival.

    This game is simply dreadful. Don't waste your money. EA doesn't deserve it. The same crappy game we already know with a different cover. Not only the gameplay is bad, but the ratings are ridiculous. Take FC Bayern for example: They won the Treble and every single player of the team bar Neuer, Lewa and Kimmich got downgraded. Gnabry got a MINUS EIGHT pace downgrade, which made him slowerThis game is simply dreadful. Don't waste your money. EA doesn't deserve it. The same crappy game we already know with a different cover.

    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]
