    Same game as Fifa 20 with little changes. They fix one issue and create two new, developers are finding an easy way to release the game, changing a few attributes and making cosmetic changes.

    Its actually a copy and paste of FIFA 20, except with squad updates! I am so disappointed I purchased it and should have just stuck with 20. There is also a team license issue where they have less teams than they used to. I think after this I will go back to buying PES again.
    DO NOT BUY!

Pro Clubs, Player Career Mode, Online Seasons, all the exactly same thing not only as FIFA 20, but as FIFA 17, 16, 15.

    Defense AI is one of the ugliest seen ever in a sport game, there is always a man free to shoot in the penalty area, and it happens both for you and for the opponents, making the matches finish at unrealistic results like 4-4 or 6-5.
    In conclusion i think that those were the 69 euros worst spent in videogames of my life, leaving me with big disappointment.

There is absolutely no difference from FIFA 20 or 19 apart from new kits, updated rosters you’d expect each year and somehow an even worse soundtrack than its predecessor. The gameplay is still sluggish, unresponsive and incredibly frustrating. Career mode, once again, has had no significant features added. Ultimate Team is still the absolute scam it always has been, with little chance of competing against the YouTubers who pile thousands of pounds into the game each year, not to mention the infamous FIFA points remaining the same price as they always have. £79.99 for 12,000 FIFA points - with a high chance of receiving absolutely nothing in return - quite simply sums up the greed and shamelessness of EA Sports. What once was a fan favourite is now dead and buried. Please, if you’ve taken the time to read this, do not buy this game. Please give your money to a developer who has put time and effort into their game. It will pay off. Do not give any more money to these criminals.    … Expand

    Fifa 21 follows the same trend of the yearly released titles, the difference with Fifa 21 is that it feels less like a new game but more like a refined experience of Fifa 20 with small changes. Each review I do of a Fifa game seem to be very similar perhaps this will change when more effort is put into the game.

    Every year we seemingly get very little return on the money we invest into    Fifa 21 follows the same trend of the yearly released titles, the difference with Fifa 21 is that it feels less like a new game but more like a refined experience of Fifa 20 with small changes. Each review I do of a Fifa game seem to be very similar perhaps this will change when more effort is put into the game.

    Every year we seemingly get very little return on the money we invest into EA's Fifa title, this year is no different. The career mode changes with regards to player growth EA decided to borrow a lot from PES so that every player can have a plan to grow and improve. So, however long Fifa has been around it has took this long for the ability to change a player position it doesn't seem groundbreaking because its not. Once again EA also recycle old content and bring it back to make it out as if they're doing something new, yes the loan to buy option is back. In summary the changes made are minimal and seem lazy.

    Gameplay follows the same trend of Fifa 20, if you didn't have some minor UI changes and new kits you'd be forgiven for mistaking Fifa 21 for last years game. The changes to gameplay are more in the responsiveness of trick moves, last years Fifa had a seeming delay behind tricks and often times they wouldn't register. Some AI changes have happened as well you will see your players make better runs and throughballs seem better for cutting teams open, you can also direct your AI teammates with what direction they run. Minor changes, but overall welcome which improves on 20. Finally, ofcourse, its not a Fifa without the weird scripting this year no different the system is here to stay im afraid.

    Graphically the game is starting to show signs of age, nearly every year and we see little change with this either. Generic non scanned faces are hard to look at, this is something that needs to be upgraded on but for whatever reasons its not. Another issue is not enough scanned faces and EA's lack of drive to add more and give the fans a means to add them themselves.

    I haven't really touched Ultimate Team, but I don't think this detracts from my review. The audio is fine usual old typical Fifa tracks, nothing that really adds to a higher overall score of the game.

    Finally, capping my review off with some important point for you to consider before purchasing this. This game is more like a seasonal update, ask yourself this, is a game with a few years work done on it worth the same as games with 5 year plus cycles? I believe PES 21 did the right thing, they did an update and didn't charge the excessive unfair amount that EA expect you to pay for 21 whilst going through the usual rubbish grind with Ultimate Team pack openings. I am aware iv went down into a bit of a rant, but how far does a company have to delve before the consumers call them out on it? Verdict, its good to see career mode get a little attention but its simply not enough. There isn't enough meat on the bone 4/10. Could have been a 7 or 8 if it was packaged rightfully as a seasonal update.    … Expand

    It's a big shame for company like EA. They get a lot of money from FIFA every year but they don't want to make their game better.
    They sell for $50 the same game for Switch for three years in a row! You will get new logo, kits and transfers. It's ridiculous.

    The 'incredible new features' that EA, still plaguing the gaming industry in 2020, have introduced in FIFA 21 are a laughable excuse for an upgrade, with the focus still clearly being on FUT because of the given that most gullible players will always buy their game no matter what happens to it.

When they do implement some 'new' features in for instance career mode, all people get are features that were already in the game 10 years ago and should have been in the game 5 years ago, like being able to intervene when simulating a match or changing the position of your players. Then there are game modes that they barely or don't even bother to touch, like player career mode or pro clubs (where you can now edit multiple players, hooray). It is so incredibly obvious that EA gives those game modes the bare minimum of their attention while still convincing customers that they are constantly innovating on all fronts.

    Gameplay is still focused on cheap tactics and unrealistic spamming of the same overpowered skill moves and tactics, with the game becoming less realistic each year in comparison to actual football. Even the AI is now starting to use the same cheap moves that every single player on Ultimate Team has been doing for multiple years. It is simply no fun to play this game anymore, and at this point not even comparable to their only competitor in PES (which does a way better job in improving their game and caring for the fan base).

    And how can I forget the ever growing exploitation of their mostly younger fan base with microtransactions and gambling features. This game is still rated for people over the age of 3, even though the game clearly contains elements that encourage or teach gambling (like stated on the PEGI website) and try to shove it down your throat any chance they get. For this problem alone the game should receive a 0 out of 10.

    This game is a disgrace to all parties involved, and it is about time that people finally open their eyes to what is truly going on within this franchise and stop supporting this lousy excuse for a game developer.    … Expand

    A great disappointment this year FIFA. I was hoping for more this year as EA should have known already what the players complaints are from last year. Basically it is the same game with a little gameplay change which is making this game to look worse. Passing, defending is so unreal and collision sytem is so bad...

Career Mode its even worse without leagues and country not fully licensed, now with Champions League can't be fully authentic coz missing clubs, new features are still not good enough for the price. Menus are bugging more than usual it desperately needs to be changed. No changes to Pro Clubs. FUT that gambling-money-hungry mode I won't even mention here. Gameplay it's bit different, passes are better and slower pace are more enjoyable than previous years. Goalkeepers need better reactions for the long shots. Volta, now it's much easier to score, grounds for VOLTA (I played 4v4) are same as last year. Don't buy, I didn't, it's not worth. As next month, new era starts for next-gen consoles it's easy to say FIFA on current generation was a miss.

    First things first: DO NOT BUY THE GAME

    Ea acted very smart this year by not releasing a demo version of the game so that "they can focus on the game a little more". Big suprise, that was a lie. Everyone who starts a new Fifa game sees at least little changes, the game always felt a little different. This year with Fifa 21, NOTHING CHANGED AT ALL.
    I had to double check if I really put in the Fifa 21 CD or if the CD of Fifa 20 was still stuck in the console. It has no difference to the previous game, it looks the same, and it feels the same gameplaywise. I was more than disappointed by Fifa 20. That's why I was foolishly hoping for a better version this year, but they simply copy & pasted the previous game with a new layout... its dark blue now, not white! Good job EA !
    Let me give you a good advice, don't spend money on the game, DO NOT DO IT ! It should be illegal and seen as a scam to copy & paste the same game the way EA did with Fifa 21!

    So, what's good / new and bad about the game ?

    Bad things :
    - It's the same buggy **** as in the previous year.
    - The passing and crossing system is still the worst so far. Don't even press the square button.
    - The pysics are worse.
    - You need 3 hands to defend this year since the A.I. is even more stupid. Yes, you heared that right, IT GOT WORSE ! Not a single player is actively doing something. They all stand arond, don't even fill spaces or intercept obvious passes. The only player active in the game is the one you control, the rest is basically afk.
    - If you were hyped about new modes, or significant gameplay changes, nope. It's Fifa 20 all over again but a little more messy.
    - The new offensive dribbling (where you can dribble with the ball closer to your foot) looks and feels unrealistic. You look like a moron who can't even walk with the ball properly.
    - The changes to Volta are almost unseeable. New locations, an even shorter story, same gameplay, celebrations, etc. It is basically the same game.
    - The career mode has 2-3 new features. But since the negotiation A.I. and the overall game A.I. is as smart as a boy who finished 3rd grade, it still makes no fun at all.
    - Pro clubs remained the same. You can now change tactics a little. Something that you can do in the kick off mode for years by now, thanks for that Ea. But let's be fair and not call it a "gamechanging innovation / new feature"
    - Ea does not try to create a realistic football simulation by now. They have a cash cow named ultimate team that makes them money, so basically : Low effort and less budget in terms of game changes, so that the profit is high. There are enough dumb people, me included, buying the game anyways. But the ones paying extra cash into the ultimate team mode, you are the the worst.
    - I could go on with this list and name everything that was wrong with Fifa 20 back then. Ea did not listen to the community at all, the same flaws and bugs are still in the new version of Fifa 21.

    New / good stuff:
    - The game has a blue layout now.
    - You can now wear a sports bra for women AS A MAN in Volta. That's the thing the community was asking for. Thanks for listening to us Ea ! BIG GAMECHANGER thx for that.

    So guys, do yourself a favor and DON'T buy the game. It's like a very very cheap dlc version of Fifa 20 with almost no changes at all. It's about the money. If you expect a halfway decent football simulation, you will be disappointed. If you expect a better improved version of Fifa this year, you will be disappointed. I know that you can't reinvent the football sport, so the changes get less every year. BUT YOU DON'T HAVE DO REINVENT IT, JUST DO IT PROPERLY ! A GOOD FOOTBALL SIMULATION WITH LESS BUGS IS ALL WE ARE ASKING FOR ! Show all modes some love, not just your ultimate team moneymaker & change the gameplay. I am playing Fifa since 1999 by now, and I have never been this mad about the sequel. I learned my lesson by buying it too early this year. I regret it, never again.

    Game for fans who either need to work online at FUT every day, or instead want to try a modified career mode, which is starting to really look like Football Manager. Otherwise, it's a decent update for the full price. [Issue#307]

    The FIFA series desperately needs a fresh start. Right now, it relies mainly on the Ultimate Team mode and marketing, while going around in circles. Instead of leaping into the future, FIFA 21 takes half a step forward and two steps sideways in an attempt to differentiate itself from its predecessor well enough to rationalize spending money. If you already own FIFA 20 and are not addicted to Ultimate Team, you can sit this one out. [12/2020, p.44]
