    I have to say I was impressed with the upgrades from the Next Gen. Still feel like there should be more. I am excited to say that I want to see the long term option. This is a start however. I can't wait to see the future ahead.

    If you doesn't play online mode and you have game pass system, this game is very good actually. Soft controls and good interface. As I said, to give 60$ to this game is ridiculous but ıf you buy in sale or in game pass, why not like that game.
    However, there are ridiculous mistakes in the game. For example, young people with potential hold a red card ...

    I'm not a regular FIFA player, so I can't judge if this is any improvement on the previous years. Unbiased, this is a great game with really nice graphics on the SX.

    per me fifa 21 è uno dei fifa migliori visto che fifa 20 non mi è piaciuto, tanto da disinstallarlo praticamente appena preso.
    ha fatto passi in avanti rispetto a tutti gli altri del passato come 18 o 19 pero cambierei sicuramente alcune cose come la carriera calciatore e anche i rigori e punizioni.

    It's good game but with old engines like ps4 and xbox one Era only graphics are much better

    Типичная проблема для фифы со сложностью. Ставлю, например, "Легенду", а играется как будто на "Любителе".

    I play in ultimate team. This is very bad. All problem stay in this part: arcade and unrealistic football, only speed and agility is major, bad connect, many types of cards with unrealistic skils

    Am I joke to you? Every second pack I open gives me goalkeeper as top card. I opened 100000 points pack and got 3 goalkeepers in top-4, again.
    The AI just trick you like a **** not playing good. Your player is so dumb it cand get a ball passing by

    So much attention to half the game. Defending is absolutely pointless.

    It's broken. As in it has game modes that are quite literally broken.

    In Be A Pro, you can be the best player in world football but if the team you play for doesn't play a player in your position, they simply won't select you in the squad.

    Between 17-21 this is the worst. I can’t stand how my players seem more in control by EA than the controller. Slow animations. Input lag. I tell a player to go one way.

Absolute tripe!

There are many games who are saying that if you want to have better results need to buy. This game is just a high lie.

    EA should stop producing these like McDonalds produces Burgers and start to think about quality.

    If you don't already own FIFA 21, we doubt this upgrade will convince you to head out and buy it. But if you're a fan of the franchise and are thinking of picking up a new console, the next-gen update might be the thing that makes you fall in love with football all over again.

    FIFA 21 on the new generation consoles is a largely familiar experience. There are no gameplay tweaks or improvements to talk about, but it does look marginally better due to a new lighting system and more realistic player models. There’s a heightened sense of atmosphere with crowds brought to life in more detail and contextual animations of making fans and players feel less like soulless AI and more like humans.

    A good soccer game with more strengths than weaknesses, loads of licenced teams and a great presentation. But while it looks better than ever it still is stagnating overall.
