    This is very late but, This game is awful.

    1. Goalkeeping is useless. You can easily score and the game is so predictable. 100% a breakaway goal is always going in. but if you take a finesse shot it will usually be saved. Making Finesse shots useless at this point. 2. VOLTA is a wasted game mode. The Defending AI is complete garbage. the Goalkeepers make no help in like in 11v11.

    2. VOLTA is a wasted game mode. The Defending AI is complete garbage. the Goalkeepers make no help in like in 11v11. They will likely easily miss the ball and the Goalie AI will usually be insane.

    3. Career mode is still awful. the fact that you have to go into the calendar just so you don't get stopped every 2nd day is so annoying. (Luckily if you beat the training once with an A. Your players will always get an A. which I'll give them that) The player's conversations are so repeatable it's insane. The press conferences are still the same things with no new dialogue.

    4. Gameplay. Gameplay is very predictable. if you're playing on Ultimate with competitor mode on, you'll be seeing the same spam skill moves with drag-backs and more. there are some moments where it feels good however that's where we go into my next part

    5. Formations, The only one that works is 5-2-3 or 5-1-1-3 for me at least. If you have only 4 defenders you're going to get defeated and destroyed (sometimes) maybe this is just me.

    6. FUT. I don't play this mode however the stadiums look cool. but can't believe it took them till FIFA 22 to add them and they are a big feature.

    That's all I have. This game is pretty crappy at its heart. FIFA 22 is coming with some bug fixes for 60 bucks. Create a Team looks fun. but this has been in the game years ago and they didn't even add sponsors. I think FIFA 22 will be an improvement but not like the Glory years like FIFA 10-15    … Expand

    There is not one positive I can give this game. I think a lot of people would agree with me when I say that this is THE worst game EA have conjured up. Glitchy, unfair, and repetitive, EA have somehow made this Fifa worse than the 5 before it despite it literally being a clone of them. Not buying Fifa 22. I sincerely hope that EA dissipates.

    I don’t understand why EA refuses to address fundamental issues with their games, issues present for years. Sloppy, lazy development, and it’s not just this game, it’s every single one. Year in and year out. Please stop buying, please unsubscribe from EA Play.

    Avoid ultimate team at all costs. Spent a lot of money on players, they disappeared one day. EA have no record and basically my money might as well of been thrown down the drain. Aside from that the game is glitchy and feels rushed. Been playing fifa since fifa 96 but will be returning to PES

    Game is nothing like football, it’s ridiculous to even watch gameplay, even worse to play it yourself. It should be free play at this point. Give us football SIMULATOR for the money

    I didnt think this game could get any worse, but boy how wrong was I? This is just a random game of ping pong. I decided to give it a go as it turned up on Gamepass but even for free it's not worth the download. Dire doesnt even begin to describe the online game. Just truly terrible. If you are thinking of giving it a go.... Do yourself a favor....DON'T!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was your supporter since fifa 18 on Ps4, but F21 is my last edition and I tell you why:

    * cards from the packs - I have played more that 1k mateches since F21 has been launched and never received player worth more than 50k. Whar would be the cost for you giving me unchangable player ?
    * Fut masters - its really frustratring me, I am 4 DIv player and know what skills they are representing. When playing Fut champions, I feel i may receive 4-5 players inside my skils for every 15 games I played. It means more than 10 players seems to be skill 1-3 DIV. Why championship matching looks like this ? Game should give some fun to the user, If so many players are outside of my level of skills there is no fun to play. most of them are outside of my skills, that making games really annoying.
    I can understand its championship, but when I am loosing 1-2 games system should match a player with simmilar skills to me to keep championship fun.
    * rebounds - when playing with a player with a skill seems to be greater than mine, algorythm shold help me to keep the ball when rebounds happen, Instead of it, most of the rebounds comes back to my oppoonent, its really annoying when opponent is trying to shoot from my box and the ball comes back to him at leat 2-3 times,where are my defenders ? , its nothing realiistic.

    As i said , F21 is my last edition, you were made everything to discourage me as a player from bouth new edition in NOV21.    … Expand

    This is without doubt the worst FIFA in its history. Gameplay is shockingly inconsistent, matchmaking is very poor, connection in gameplay is laggy and glitchy. EA obviously don't care what their customers experience in this game, its all about making money. Buy FIFA points to have the best team to win. Such an unfair game. Last one i will be buying. One of many customers leaving id imagine.

    a gang of thieves and a useless and cheating game. FUT is a real insult to intelligence. Years went by and the gameplay made this game a joke far from a true simulation of the football game. don't waste your money.

    The worst FIFA.
    I have been playing FIFA since 2015. Despite the poor graphics, a small number of different game modes, etc. in the past parts of fifa I wanted to play around the clock. I started to dislike the game with the release of FIFA 19. Nothing has changed, and the gameplay has become worse. However, there are some things that make FIFA 19 and 20 different from 21:
    1) In Fifa    The worst FIFA.
    I have been playing FIFA since 2015. Despite the poor graphics, a small number of different game modes, etc. in the past parts of fifa I wanted to play around the clock. I started to dislike the game with the release of FIFA 19. Nothing has changed, and the gameplay has become worse. However, there are some things that make FIFA 19 and 20 different from 21:

    1) In Fifa 21 you can quickell your “cheap beasts”, because the difference in the game is made only by players whose price is above 50k. Bailly, Mertens, Gervinho INF, Zakaria. Remove them from your club. Thus, EA are trying to make you donate.
    2) Coin inflation. I have never donated to FIFA, only trading. For comparison, I will give an example, Eden Hazard cost 250k in December in FIFA 18, but in FIFA 21 he cost only 40k. So, it’s not interesting for me to play and trading coins anymore.
    3) It's unbearable to play with a computer in offline match. For example, you are winning 2:0, but at one point the computer starts to play as an esports player and after a few minutes you are losing 2:3. It’s so unrealistic, isn’t it?
    4) nothing decides in a match like a handicap. Now it’s really difficult to play with weak player, it’s simply unreal!
    5) Since FIFA 19 gameplay gets worse and worse. Now, it’s unpleasant to play in this game. EA only trying to raise more money from the player instead of working on gameplay and career mode.

    I will advice you to leave this FIFA, showing your protest. I play FIFA 17 and happy enough, this Fifa is awesome for me. I waste 60 $, so I don’t want u to do so, even when FIFA 22 will be released.

    P.s. I’m from Belarus, if you find a mistake, don't judge strictly, okay?    … Expand

    The games relatively well made and all from what I’ve seen, but honestly there’s not a big enough difference from FIFA 20 and FIFA 21. Same goes for FIFA 20 and FIFA 19, every game is just a copy paste (from 2016 and onward) refuse to pay over £60 for a copy paste folder. Also ultimate team is a waste, don’t spent money on it, just get a new video game in general....

    FIFA 21 hasn't re-written the wheel but it is fun, fast attacking football and hopefully EA have big plans to shake up the franchise next year for its true next-gen console experience.

    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!
