    Another year, another rushed game by EA Sports. They clearly do not care about their customers yet again just your money. Game is poor year after year with issue after issue.

    Same game as 21, no changes to the best game mode, Pro Clubs. Gameplay is slow and hardly a difference from 20. I can still hear music at halftime even though I turn it off. To reliant on animations that remain unchanged. DO NOT BUY this!

    FIFA 21: Full price roster up date and more gambling. More and more clear EA only cares about money, recycling the same dog **** rushed gambling games disguised as sports games.

    This a pantomine horses arse. Dreadful, arcadey mess of a game that is even more unresponsive. Full of scripting as always and the only changes from 20 made it worse. Good game for a simpleton perhaps. Don’t listen to the fan boys and EA plants on here - buy this game and you’ll regret it. Spend your 90 bucks in the pub instead and have some fun.

    We ALL know how this will play out, the Early Access is THE best time to play and once servers become bombarded with users, and then the patches come thick and fast... in 2 short months the game will be unrecognisable from what it is now...and sadly that NEVER means for the better.

    FIFA has a big identity crisis. It tries to add little stuff every year but fails in having good and enjoyable game mechanics. Also, the graphics still suck, certainly compared to its biggest concurrent. It is broken in its very core. It also tries to knock money out of your pocket any chance it gets. EA is a lazy money-minded developer.

    Another perfect example of why you can’t trust any of the games media. They are just extensions of the publishers public relations teams. The game is a copy&paste **** show. Solely designed around micro-transactions. With less actual features than years prior.

    The gameplay is awful, it's like playing 200kg players on ice, the ai got way worse, especially for goalkeepers. It's even less challenging than last years version and improvements in career mode are not only barely noticeable, they also make the gamemode more boring to play. Overall the worst Fifa I played since I started with Fifa 06!

Every attacker seems to have become a streetfootballer with many tricks and because the defense is not developed like the attackers, you can do very little against approaching goals.

I will go through each important mode and aspect of this game starting with:
    Career mode: Although there have been several changes to the mode, the same old gameplay hold back this mode's potential yet again. The simulation aspect to the manager career mode, where you can sim matches and jump in at any time you want, make subs, and change the way your team played, is what the community asked for many years ago. There will be no passes given on that. Also, contract and transfer negotiations still take longer than ever. There is no setting to change the speed of this cutscene, so you must sit there and watch your character barely talk through their lips.
    Ultimate Team: There have been no significant changes to make me want to play this game mode. Another year, another game to advertise to underage children and create bad spending habits. The stadium upgrades was something that I was looking forward to, but with no motivation to actually grind out the FUT Champs and Squad battles modes, there is no reason to play the game. EA continue to screw your decaying body by having a worse pack luck than Fifa 20. I spent $20 on both games to compare how many rare players I would get, and the result was staggering. Not only did Fifa 21 lose to its predecessor, but it was a chore having to watch the same stupid pack opening animation every time I opened one. You get no stars for the absolute shafting you give this game mode every year.
    Key Gameplay Changes: Fifa 21 did make some key gameplay changes with this Fifa. The frequency of attacking runs, and the lethality of these runs have been slightly modified to suit some players needs. However, it just seems like most of the time the players are lazy and not wanting to make attacking runs behind the defense, or opening up in space to receive a pass. It truly doesn't surprise me when EA said they would fix these things, and they are lack luster at best. And to be honest, I think that's all I noticed when actually playing the game. Everything else is STILL THE **** SAME.
    In conclusion, I realize that me saying all of this is not going to change anything, because us football lovers are stuck with Fifa. Playing Fifa is like an abused partner going back to the abusive partner. Battered Wife Syndrome I believe it is called. They keep beating us down with crappy cut-and-paste games every year, and frankly, I don't know what else to do. I just wanted to play a football game that can make me feel something. Some joy, some hope, some self-esteem, and make me feel like what I play is worth it. EA takes advantage of every consumer they manage to persuade. Like that same abusive spouse coaxing their battered partner back with promises, they themselves know they won't keep. What should happen with the next Fifa? It should be cancelled, class-action lawsuits should be filed, and us football lovers should get what we deserve; a loving company, who is willing and determined to give football fans around the world the ability to experience an AUTHENTIC, FUN, and UNCOMPRISINGLY GREAT GAME. I am fully for cancelling yearly releases so that developers can actually make good improvements to a game that I love very much. in closing, Fifa 21, EA, you are a disgrace to consumers around the world. And I hope that someday you will realize that making good games this the key to making money, not this phoney monopoly money you think is good, tangible success. I rate this game a 1/10.    … Expand

    Fifa 21 is the worst fifa in last 5 years. I gave 2 only because they improve career mode a little bit. Gameplay is the worst one i have ever played, as in ut as in career. Sharpness in career is so unneccesary thing. Pace doesnt matter because pique is faster than someone with 90 pace. FIX FIFA!!!!

    It's just FIFA 20 copy and pasted. So many assets are reused from the last game. To charge full price every year for this is just flat out criminal. The career mode has had some new tweaks but the menu and gameplay still feel exactly the same.

    If this was a new IP, then it would score higher (a 6 maybe). But after fifa 14/15 nothing has changed massively. The only improvement, which was a feature in older FIFA games, is the simulation option in Career mode. You can step into the match at any point.

    For the rest, you are playing an old game with new rosters and old bugs that excist for years, which are still not resolved.

    For all those who do not know how stupid this game is, I will only mention the "momentum" / "handicap", which during the match causes your players to move in slow motion, have delayed reactions, cannot pass hard enough to the runner forward and Mbappe is slower than Hummels (really). The AI ​​of the defenders and midfielders in this game is Monty Python. I've already tried all the settings, but they are still passive. They do nothing. The defenders still break the offside line, and the midfielders come back on a slow walk. I understand that the game is created by a North American company, where football was watched by few (maybe it was modeled on MLS). Neglect is evident at every step. This game is over and there is no chance of improvement, because it is the frustration of the players that makes them spend more money on the players, being so naive that they will win something this time. But that's just EA. A company built for money, not for players.    … Expand

In an exhibition match (me vs wife) the game gave me a penalty cause the GK (with the ball secured) got up on his feet but there was one player close to him that fall off and well... the game called that a penalty.... this is the worst FIFA I ever played since the first I recall in 94.

    Awful. Defending is difficult, shooting is crap, passing is even worse. The amount of blocking is beyond a joke, FUT is just a money whore. Pro clubs is the same sorry sight it's been since fifa 17.

    Pro clubs could be brilliant if they stopped thinking about money and focused on the players would make it a brilliant game mode.

    Fifa 20 continues its dominance, albeit in the absence of real competition. The new tricks give us more entertaining offense play and the career mode is more dynamic than ever. Volta has also been updated to the point of almost becoming a separate game. Despite this we do notice that EA cannot go further than this on today's consoles, and we look forward to a new entry for the Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X.

    Chances are that you’ll already know what you’re getting into with FIFA 21; while it may be broadly similar to last years effort in its game feel, with a few good tweaks and subtle changes, that’s kind of to be expected with an annualised sports franchise. The improvements that have been made across some of the modes are welcome, and offer up new ways to enjoy the series. It’s also rather lovely to look at, and should be a fine showcase for the upcoming Series X|S come launch day!
