    Decepcionante trabajo de EA en este juego. La menor cantidad de novedades añadida hasta la fecha en un FIFA y la peor jugabilidad en años. Siempre este juego empieza con buen pie en cuanto a la jugabilidad, pero a los dos parches de la salida (unas semanas después) esta vuelve a ser la misma de siempre (muy simple en el online, basándose en correr y aprovecharse de exploits).

Siempre este juego empieza con buen pie en cuanto a la jugabilidad, pero a los dos parches de la salida (unas semanas después) esta vuelve a ser la misma de siempre (muy simple en el online, basándose en correr y aprovecharse de exploits). El hándicap continúa presente en el juego y eso hace muy injustos los partidos; y además han empeorado la interfaz con respecto a juegos anteriores. A todo esto se le suma el pay to win del online, siendo muchísimo más fácil progresar pagando por sobres de jugadores. Ya puede dar un cambio la franquicia porque actualmente este juego no merece la pena. A pesar de todo ello, posee muchos modos de juego y es entretenido de jugar con amigos. 4/10

    There has never been a Fifa game with worse defending than this. It may be an all round better game than Fifa 20 but thats not saying much when it's being compared to arguably the worst game i have ever played. This game isn't even worthy of a detailed review. I hate it.

So I guess i know what I am talking about and it's so painful how much they are destroying this game on purpose. The first main issue is this: FIFA IS NOT A SIMULATOR! It used to be. Now is not. Gameplay gives you the illusion that your actions matter, and that the match result will more or less reflect your gameplay, but we all experience the so-called "Scripting". It may be reasonable to take away some "simulation" just so newbiees don't give up when playing online, but just don't call it football simulator, is just a different thing.
    On career mode is just so silly, I remember good times with FIFA 2007 when instead of just brain-wash you with brands and teams you could create your own fantasy football club, starting from the bottom and eventually being able to make it an elite club, with options like investing in your stadium, etc. Now, is not a simulator on that sense neither. So what is FIFA? Just an illusion, good graphics, but at the end of the day is the same as watching a netflix show, if the match is meant to end on a specific way, you will experience a lot of very weird things so that the result of the match is as it's meant to be. Is not a football simulator, is not a management simulator, is not an e-sport, I just don't know what it is anymore... so sad...    … Expand

    While playing online, whoever the artificial intelligence wants is the game that wins. It doesn't matter how well you play. You may get nervous in the game. I haven't been playing for years, so I thought I'd give it a chance, and I encountered the same scene again.

    There are a lot of reasons why I think the game is bad, but I don't think I have enough space here to say them all, so, I'm gonna tell you only a few of them.

    First reason might be that it's almost the same game as FIFA 20. It's basically 90% FIFA 20. The only real change is in Career Mode, which is not even that big, and it clearly does not make the mode great, it might not be better    There are a lot of reasons why I think the game is bad, but I don't think I have enough space here to say them all, so, I'm gonna tell you only a few of them.

    First reason might be that it's almost the same game as FIFA 20. It's basically 90% FIFA 20. The only real change is in Career Mode, which is not even that big, and it clearly does not make the mode great, it might not be better then the previous one. The real big change is only the training system, which might become quite annoying after some time because you literally have to simulate it every time, why couldn't it play automatically? I mean I don't want to stop every other day just to simulate it.

    Another reason, might be the biggest, is Ultimate Team. I know is just a game mode and I don't have to play it, but it's the main mode and it should be good, right? Well, in EA's opinion, not really, it's enough to make money. Well, us, the player would really like to be able to enjoy it, it would be rally nice, I mean, if EA were capable to create a great game in the past, why couldn't they now? Because they don't want to, because they know people would buy it anyway. So, they don't really care if the gameplay is not enjoyable. The main reason why the gameplay is **** is the script, which we don't have a proof it exists, but we all know it does, and of there are 2 reasons it exists. First of all, they want this game to be played a lot, just like Overwatch, League of Legends, Counter Strike and all those kind of games, so they want you to have a reason to play again, that's why they make you lose, to have a reason to keep playing, to win and to grind, that's why a lot of players have a record which is about 50-50 because that's what they want, mediocre players to keep playing, and with that, you might be stuck in a division, just like me, today I'm in division 7, tomorrow 6, and in a couple days 7 again, because I win 5, and I don't just win, I destroy guys with much better teams, and then, tomorrow I get beaten like 5-0 with 70% possession and against a gold non-rare team, and that's extremely frustrating. The other reason why if you change the team you might be playing good for a few matches, is because they want you to lose after a while, so you will think the team is the problem and you will buy packs, because this game is **** PAY TO WIN. And, unfortunately, I think the problem is only about 60% percent EA's fault, and I regret to say it, but the community is a problem too, I mean, if you wanna change something, don't play the game they want you to play, they just want you to play only those OP players and be sweaty AF, even in friendlies, I mean why the **** would you include skill base matchmaking in friendlies ffs, and a match limit, in FRIENDLIES, which is supposed to be the game mode which should note be sweaty, it should be friendly, but luckily, not all friendlies have a match limit, so why couldn't you, the player, help the others in those matches? Instead of being sweaty and wanting to win no matter what, do the golden goal rule, or at least just let them score the goals, and after that you could play it the way you want. And the other problem is the guys that are buying FIFA points, they break the game, please, if you ever said that the game is **** because it's pay to win but you bought FIFA points, then you are part pf the problem, because even you probably didn't buy a big amount and you say it didn't matter because it was just like 20$, that's what other million people say just like you, and if a million people gave 20$ thinking that is not a really big amount and it wouldn't change anything, well let me tell you that it did, because that's a lot of money. And I get that you say that the streamers are the ones that breaks the game because they spend thousand of dollars on FIFA points, and I agree, but still, we, the community, might make a difference. So, if you lose, at least try to not get frustrated, because it might not actually be your fault.

    Another problem with the community are the toxic players. Some of the celebrations are so **** annoying, especially when Mbappé scores, because 90% of the times, the goal was not scored because your opponent is good, but because Mbappé is **** OP.

    Another reasons are the other game modes, and the problem is that EA don't **** care about them. Seasons used to be so much fun back in the game, and now are playing maximum 1000 players, it's **** dead. Pro clubs might be the only mode I had fun playing, but guess what, EA doesn't care about it, so it's **** hidden in the online section, which no one cares about, and it haven't been improved in YEARS. It might be the best game mode, if more people played it, or if constant updates were brought. I mean look at 2K, their main NBA game mode is MyPlayer, which is basically 2K's pro clubs mode, but it's actually made good, or at least better than pro clubs, which has so much potential.

    Don't buy FIFA.    … Expand

    0.8? Notes here are a joke. Everybody knows it is not worth paying the full retail price if you already have the last iteration and are not a hardcore fifa player. But the note should be about the quality of the game itself not about EA economic model.

    Well...then, my honest review. ;) I am a career mode player and I personnaly appreciated this Fifa 21. Having the possibility to jump    0.8? Notes here are a joke. Everybody knows it is not worth paying the full retail price if you already have the last iteration and are not a hardcore fifa player. But the note should be about the quality of the game itself not about EA economic model.

    Well...then, my honest review. ;)

    I am a career mode player and I personnaly appreciated this Fifa 21. Having the possibility to jump in/out in a simulated game is gold. The option to change player position is nicely done. Managing sharpness is a little bit too time consuming in the beginning but after a while you can simulate almost every session. New player development is a mixed bag. I am delighted I don't have to play repetitive mini games to improve every attribute but it is way too easy to improve skill moves, wrong foot & work rate. These huge improvements should be limited (only 1 star to choose for each player) and come at a price. Atm, every young midfielders & forward can become 5 stars geniuses with high working rate in less than 6 months.

    Gameplay wise, the game is almost the same as fifa 20 imo, only faster but you have the option to slow it down so it looks less inhuman. I almost never used the new ability to control the direction of my teammates runs but the option is there for the gifted players. As usual, defending is too hard. Defensive midfield abandon you and full backs deliberately leave huge spaces in their back. Playing the offside is very difficult and goalkeepers have not improved.

    On legendary or Ultimate difficulty, you will suffer the classic Fifa scripts. If you lead 1-0, prepare yourself to see your best forward hit the post from a position he usually always scores while on the other side of the pitch your 90 rated defender controlled by the AI suddenly lose all defensive awareness and freeze so your opponent finally equalize at the last min of the game. Really really annoying game design.    … Expand

It's a lot of fun building your team and making coins through the market or SBCs. But when it comes to the actual gameplay, it's just so so awful. Somehow the most important aspect of their game remains just as broken as it was when i played FIFA 19. After 19 being my introduction to FIFA, i skipped 20 because of how unfun it was to play the actual game. I made the mistake of trying out 21 anyways, and the same problems came up time after time. Consistently awful connection despite getting between 20-60 ping, clueless AI and absurd animations, and even a glitch that forced me to forfeit a game and lose my match bonus. This is all aside from the fact that EA is a ruthless, greedy company with no desire to make good video games. For a game that used to be so popular, even among people who didn't care about the pro leagues, there's literally no hype around it anymore. This game is made for little kids that have never played any other video game, anyone else would have high enough expectations to know this game isn't worth touching. The only saving grace is the menus. But you might as well play FM at that point.… 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]
