    EA sports just keeps making this game worse on every single update, it’s so ffn trash i deleted the freakin game... it is insanely $hit to say the least, penalties left and right, midfield does not exist, defending is **** passing is the worst so far, gameplay is manipulated... Faaaaaack EA sports for not listening to players and pi$$ing on a game that at one point was the benchmark.

    The game is just awful playing on the PC version. They have a delay everywhere in the game, if you hit an opponent whose delay is better than yours, you will not beat him. In drafts, they play bots who leave the match and defend your defeat. Also in the divisions they have bots with a bronze squad who also come out of the match. There is no gameplay in the game.

People pay a lot of money every year and EA sports laugh at how much you can tolerate it you need to sue them. A lot of people gave their earned money for a quality product, but they scoff at people every year!… Expand

    No genuinely, it's the worst FIFA that has ever been made and their have been some bad ones.
    For reference, I'm a player that has been in division 1 for the past 4 years and have not ever been relegated in this time. This is for online seasons not the money making scam of FUT which I refuse to play out of principle.

    Current record this FIFA 21 on PS5 only: W-194 D-22 L-43
    (I have a much better record on PS4)

    Firstly the goalkeeping is poor, very static and never read the game. The way they move is as if they aren't aware of their position on the pitch in regards to the goal leaving large spaces and parts of the goal to shoot at. This is particularly noticeable when coming at them from an angle. The difference also in shot stopping between an 85 rated goalkeeper and a 90 is far too big, that difference should be all around positioning and reactions but actually it just means that 85's don't make the saves they should.

    Onto the defending. Well their isn't any. When setting up a team to play one of the things you kind of expect is that the team does actually do some defending. What actually happens is the offensive team has runners and defensive team doesn't so you end up with having to try and switch between players constantly to try and track runs but of course in doing that you leave no pressure on the ball. The whole of the middle of the pitch therefore is non existent or you can play a press in which if they beat the press they are effectively in on goal every time. This is the part of the game the developers have broken the most. It was okay in fifa 20, quite good actually, some people complained that the AI was involved too much but actually it probably wasn't. You wouldn't expect to just be able to run through a team without being tackled however on this one you most certainly can. Jockeying is now pointless because of the fluidity in attack and the fact that the response time on the jockey means it's actually detrimental to do. If you jockey and then try to time when to stop jockeying to make an interception or tackle the game isn't responsive enough to do that and effectively mistimes it. Tackling is better if you don't use the tackle buttons...genuinely.

    Attacking play is too scripted, there is one of 2 ways to goal. Use a player with incredible control and just flick the analogue stick back and forth and as the defending is so non existent the defender will either not make the tackle or give away a penalty even when you haven't tackled. I have received more penalties and conceded more in this FIFA than any other for that reason. The second option is basically the quickest front 3 you can find, all 3 players on get in behind and just play it into the front line, knock it back into midfield, all 3 set off, 1 ball through and it's a goal. This is made worse by the fact all defenders are seemingly slow and all strikers are too fast. Very few players that have ever played the game are as quick with the ball as they are without it. Even the likes of Salah and Mbappe when running with the ball at their feet in real life they will get caught by players slower and quite considerably. On this though once you're in, that is it it's game over. Really poor understanding of how pace actually works from the developers. Probably the reason there is as many as 12 goals in a game. Should never be the case. Oh yeah, and every player is 2 footed. You should see what Salah can do with his right foot. Special.

    Overall gameplay: It's really bad, cut scenes have been added in like last minute goals and animations for hitting the crossbar. Due to the developers spending time on getting that right, for some reason it has to happen constantly. Thanks for putting it in but maybe don't force the game to have this happen and just put the animations in when they actually should happen.

    Players aren't responsive to the ball, genuinely they will stand there unless kicked directly to them, what that actually means is that when you control a player sometimes they don't lock onto the ball at all. You have no control of what happens, a player will miscontrol it or just leave it unnecessarily. Passing is soooooo slow, their is absolutely no tempo to the games. Possibly due to the poor control of the players or because passes are often inaccurate.

    Referees. I had an open goal and was scythed down. Not even a yellow. Missed the penalty of course because for some reason they put it in the game that the striker looks blatantly where he'll put the ball. They will get decisions wrong. HUH ? It's a game, it's not fun or quirky to put in that the referees don't get it right.

    The whole game needs an overhaul, a lot of money is spent on FIFA by it's users and it's been completely mismanaged. If EA aren't good enough to develop a genuinely good FIFA game then give it to some developers that can.    … Expand

    it is a an anti-footall simulator. There is literally 2 ways to play this game succesfully. Sit deep position your players and allow the computer AI to defend for you then hit the counter with ridiculous through balls, or you spam skill moves and skill move cancels until you find yourself in a high probability shooting position. It's like this at all levels but the higher up the rankingsit is a an anti-footall simulator. There is literally 2 ways to play this game succesfully.

It's like this at all levels but the higher up the rankings you go the more like this it gets.

    Different footballing styles are impossible unless you play way below your skill level. I like to play a possession game but increadibly inconsistant passing combined with atrocious AI movement mean that it is really difficult to break down defences unless you rely on counter attacks/ skill move spamming.

    Some defenders are almost impossible to pass. Varane and Mendy have been a nightmare for the majority of the game cycle. It's bad enough getting past players in this game but certain players seem to have "extra lives" meaning even if the opposition player messes up their angle or tackle, certain player will recover. They also do insane defending when the opposition doesn't even control them, making insane interceptions and blocks. It's a ridiculous advantage. It's a similar story in attack, with a handful of players showing (relative) intelligence when it comes to movement.

    This has led to a situation where the majority of players are playing with the same teams, making the same moves with 2 or 3 different tactics.

    This is not good enough for a game that has a monopoly on the use of everybodies favourite clubs and players. I will not be buying another FIFA until they make the game fun to play with a variety of different footbal styles.

    I'm not holding my breath.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is straight up trash. Passing is horrible. If you pass to someone, the ball goes to another player that is on the other side of the field. I get cards for tackling on the ball and I barely touched the player. Its amazing how they make it so bad. Props to trash EA.… Expand

    Maddens worse but this game is also garbage. Do not buy unless it’s on Nintendo switch and you play it on your work break or on the road.

    Terrible game. Forces crap teams/ players to win with last second/ miracle goals. Makes defenders foul or ignore the ball. Doesn't allow you to select players you desire to control often. All in the name of having you buy packs and spending money.

    Scriptelt játék, gyerekkorom óta játszottam a szériával, de kb két hete egy kezdő játékost sem tudtam megverni egy bajnokság alatt. A játékosaim lábán átment a labda. 28 kapura lövés 1 gól ellenben 4 ből 4 kapott, amelyek már egy kabaréba is beillettek volna. (Kapurarúgás után az ellenfél kapusának lábáról egészen a kapumba szállt a labda...stb) Mindezt 4 meccsen át.Scriptelt játék, gyerekkorom óta játszottam a szériával, de kb két hete egy kezdő játékost sem tudtam megverni egy bajnokság alatt.

    Simply put, the convenience of launching FIFA 21 without downloading can't outweigh the technical issues presented by Stadia as a platform. It feels harsh to say that Stadia is the only thing holding the game back, but there's no other culprit to be found when the core problem is the constant barrage of network issues. The reality is that Stadia is struggling with something as formulaic as FIFA 21, and that's legitimately troubling. It's yet another story of the highest highs and the lowest lows, and it spells further problems for the future of the platform.
