    Same game as Fifa 20 with little changes. They fix one issue and create two new, developers are finding an easy way to release the game, changing a few attributes and making cosmetic changes. Stop milking us EA and try to focus on what the community is saying. We need a game where attackers are running, goalkeepers can make a save and defenders can make a tackle.

    Its actually a copy and paste of FIFA 20, except with squad updates! I am so disappointed I purchased it and should have just stuck with 20. There is also a team license issue where they have less teams than they used to. I think after this I will go back to buying PES again.
    DO NOT BUY!

    Same game as FIFA 20, and when i say same game, i mean the same **** garbage. Almost no changes at all, despite some tiny additions, what makes me wonder, how can a company sell this game at 70$?

Ultimate Team remains to be the same toxic and mercenary **** and EA continues to suck the players up with those damn microtransactions, even raising the price of the fifa points. Last year they added Volta football, and it was so bad that i couldn't play more than 2 games, but don't worry, this year is even worse. Pro Clubs, Player Career Mode, Online Seasons, all the exactly same thing not only as FIFA 20, but as FIFA 17, 16, 15. Make yourself a favor and don't buy this **** is almost worse then Madden 21, that's not and won't ever be a football simulation, don't waste your money on this horrible company that only cares about robbing you and not giving you a good game.… Expand

There is absolutely no difference from FIFA 20 or 19 apart from new kits, updated rosters you’d expect each year and somehow an even worse soundtrack than its predecessor. The gameplay is still sluggish, unresponsive and incredibly frustrating. Career mode, once again, has had no significant features added. Ultimate Team is still the absolute scam it always has been, with little chance of competing against the YouTubers who pile thousands of pounds into the game each year, not to mention the infamous FIFA points remaining the same price as they always have. £79.99 for 12,000 FIFA points - with a high chance of receiving absolutely nothing in return - quite simply sums up the greed and shamelessness of EA Sports. What once was a fan favourite is now dead and buried. Please, if you’ve taken the time to read this, do not buy this game. Please give your money to a developer who has put time and effort into their game. It will pay off. Do not give any more money to these criminals.    … Expand

    Moreover i found the gameplay a big step back from the last Fifa i bought (Fifa 19), Footballers animation are a lot worse than years before, every aspect of the gameplay is far far similar from a real football match, thing that i can accept in FUT, but not in the career mode.
    Defense AI is one of the ugliest seen ever in a sport game, there is always a man free to shoot in the penalty area, and it happens both for you and for the opponents, making the matches finish at unrealistic results like 4-4 or 6-5.
    In conclusion i think that those were the 69 euros worst spent in videogames of my life, leaving me with big disappointment.

    Fifa 21 follows the same trend of the yearly released titles, the difference with Fifa 21 is that it feels less like a new game but more like a refined experience of Fifa 20 with small changes. Each review I do of a Fifa game seem to be very similar perhaps this will change when more effort is put into the game.

    Every year we seemingly get very little return on the money we invest into    Fifa 21 follows the same trend of the yearly released titles, the difference with Fifa 21 is that it feels less like a new game but more like a refined experience of Fifa 20 with small changes. Each review I do of a Fifa game seem to be very similar perhaps this will change when more effort is put into the game.

    Every year we seemingly get very little return on the money we invest into EA's Fifa title, this year is no different. The career mode changes with regards to player growth EA decided to borrow a lot from PES so that every player can have a plan to grow and improve. So, however long Fifa has been around it has took this long for the ability to change a player position it doesn't seem groundbreaking because its not. Once again EA also recycle old content and bring it back to make it out as if they're doing something new, yes the loan to buy option is back. In summary the changes made are minimal and seem lazy.

    Gameplay follows the same trend of Fifa 20, if you didn't have some minor UI changes and new kits you'd be forgiven for mistaking Fifa 21 for last years game. The changes to gameplay are more in the responsiveness of trick moves, last years Fifa had a seeming delay behind tricks and often times they wouldn't register. Some AI changes have happened as well you will see your players make better runs and throughballs seem better for cutting teams open, you can also direct your AI teammates with what direction they run. Minor changes, but overall welcome which improves on 20. Finally, ofcourse, its not a Fifa without the weird scripting this year no different the system is here to stay im afraid.

    Graphically the game is starting to show signs of age, nearly every year and we see little change with this either. Generic non scanned faces are hard to look at, this is something that needs to be upgraded on but for whatever reasons its not. Another issue is not enough scanned faces and EA's lack of drive to add more and give the fans a means to add them themselves.

    I haven't really touched Ultimate Team, but I don't think this detracts from my review. The audio is fine usual old typical Fifa tracks, nothing that really adds to a higher overall score of the game.

    Finally, capping my review off with some important point for you to consider before purchasing this. This game is more like a seasonal update, ask yourself this, is a game with a few years work done on it worth the same as games with 5 year plus cycles? I believe PES 21 did the right thing, they did an update and didn't charge the excessive unfair amount that EA expect you to pay for 21 whilst going through the usual rubbish grind with Ultimate Team pack openings. I am aware iv went down into a bit of a rant, but how far does a company have to delve before the consumers call them out on it? Verdict, its good to see career mode get a little attention but its simply not enough. There isn't enough meat on the bone 4/10. Could have been a 7 or 8 if it was packaged rightfully as a seasonal update.    … Expand

    Same as FIFA 20, the defending on this game is absolutely shambolic.

    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]
