FIFA 21
The new FIFA is as fun and annoying as its previous editions. Although there have been some noticeable changes, the new decade for the series certainly doesn't start with a breakthrough.
Game Revolution: 4.5 / 5 by Paul Tamburro
FIFA 21 may not contain any brand new modes or major new features, but by providing substantial changes to gameplay and introducing key improvements, it has easily positioned itself as the best FIFA yet. Combining challenging yet satisfying defending with ludicrous goal-scoring opportunities takes its on-the-pitch action to new levels, while additions to its Career, Ultimate Team, and Pro Clubs modes make this an essential purchase for football fans.
Shacknews: 7 / 10 by Donovan Erskine
FIFA 21 is about what you’d expect from a new FIFA release. Some quality of life improvements over the previous title though nothing that really signifies a leap in class from past games. That being said, the quality in the FIFA series is fairly high, giving EA Sports a nice cushion to fall back on every year. FUT maintains the same inherent issues as it did last year, despite some shiny new features. FIFA 21 is another serviceable, yet standard entry in EA Sports’ soccer/football simulation series.
IGN: 7 / 10 by Simon Cardy
All in all, FIFA 21 is a year of small improvements with much to enjoy, but little to shout about.

FIFA 21 Description
FIFA 21 is the next installment of EA Sports' series of football simulators, developed since 1993. The game again offers both single player and multiplayer mode. As every year, we can find real players and teams in the game, which we lead to victory in the next matches.
Gameplay
FIFA 21, like the previous parts of the cycle, allows players to play matches and tournaments with licensed national teams and football teams from leagues around the world. Although the basics of the game have not been changed, the game offers several novelties, mainly in the field of artificial intelligence and career mode.
The game introduces two new SI systems. The first one, Positioning Personality, affects the positioning of players on the field. Thanks to it, the players can avoid offsides and block the passes more efficiently. The second one, Creative Runs, is changing the way we build a positional attacks.
In addition, changes have also been implemented in the movement of players with the ball. Thanks to contextual agile dribbling, we can now perform precise and fast dribbles to deceive our rivals.
The career mode has also been expanded. As in the previous games, the player will be able to intervene in the live simulation and observe a number of statistics, such as the match rating and endurance of the player. The game allows the players to freely choose the training scheme for their players (which will improve their attributes) and for the first time ever change the position to which they are assigned. The transfers has also been expanded so that we have more freedom to modify the squads.
In a multiplayer the main attraction remains the extremely popular Ultimate Team mode. This year, it has been enriched, among other things, with special social challenges and the possibility of co-operative game for points with friends.
FIFA 21 also features the VOLTA Football mode, introduced in the previous part of the series. It is possible to play matches on football fields located in the urban environment. However, it has been expanded and enriched with new locations and protagonists of the mini story campaign.
Crossplay
FIFA 21 does not provide for any cross-play modes.
Technical aspects
FIFA 21 runs on the Frostbite engine, which results in a detailed graphic design. The novelty is the implementation of a new system of realistic tackles. The game also features a professional commentary.
