    I am embarrassed that I have yet not learn my lesson and still blindly trusting EA Sports`s new releases. This is the last time and I will never buy any games from EA again.

    If you want to pay full price for a new game just to get some new colored theme and roaster update then this game is for you. If you expecting a new game after paying a full price then stop! This is the exactly same

    Since EA loves copy and pasting their games, I'll copy and paste a review. Credit to user Daanvh26.

    Full priced version of the 19 & 20 game with new shirts and updated roster. EA states in the store page that no gameplay features have been updated since 19 & 20. Normally people jokes that this is what EA does every year with their sport titles and they lived up to expectations with this

    How to make a EA Sports game:
    Step 1: Go to your coding program ide/compiler and load last year game's code.
    Step 2: Ctrl+A and Ctrl+C the code. Step 3: Open new project and Ctrl+V the old code into the new project. Step 4: While still in the IDE/Compiler, update only the player names. Step 5: Go to modeling program and only update logo banners (or dont! The more obvious, the better!)

    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 This is an outdated game, which is not at the same level of what it is available on other platforms and that does not include every game mode and options it should.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Edition is still FIFA 19 and while that game is still actually pretty fun, especially online, it is now extremely outdated – and it was outdated two years ago.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.
