    Whilst FIFA 21may be an insult to Switch players everywhere, it is also the most authentic football game on the market and rather enjoyable at that. [Issue #2, p.57]

    EA Sports did it again: they updated the teams and their uniforms from FIFA 19 and sold it at 50€. This is an outdated game, which is not at the same level of what it is available on other platforms and that does not include every game mode and options it should. The gameplay is good, so it may attract football fans.

    FIFA has so much potential on the Switch, but it seems that this is how it is going to be going forward. FIFA 21 Legacy Edition is still FIFA 19 and while that game is still actually pretty fun, especially online, it is now extremely outdated – and it was outdated two years ago. This game should not be full price.

    FIFA 21 is the straw that breaks the camel's back. After initially impressing us with FIFA 18 (despite it being based on the previous year's outing, FIFA 17), EA has completely shut up shop and made no effort whatsoever to improve the series on Switch. By now giving us a second Legacy Edition in a row, while also removing the previous games from the eShop to ensure this is the only option that remains, EA has inadvertently created another, more realistic option: ignore this game entirely, and don't give out your hard-earned cash in return for being insulted.

    If last year’s release was borderline insulting, this year’s is just plain disgraceful. EA, please do better.

    Enough EA. You are the worst game developers in the world now. What a joke.
