    FIFA 21 is very much an incremental upgrade to last year's outing, but what has changed here makes for a much faster, more fluid and fun game of footie than we've seen from the series since perhaps as far back as 2017. New tweaks to off-the-balls runs and passing are welcome, headers are viable options once again and keepers have been nerfed to the point that all-manner of long-range efforts, vicious volleys and fancy finished shots are back in vogue.

    Simply put, the convenience of launching FIFA 21 without downloading can't outweigh the technical issues presented by Stadia as a platform. It feels harsh to say that Stadia is the only thing holding the game back, but there's no other culprit to be found when the core problem is the constant barrage of network issues.

    I wasn’t expecting for the PS5 version of FIFA 21 to be an impressive technological showcase, considering the current world situation and higher percentage of last-gen consoles out in the wild. The graphical improvements didn’t exactly wow me, but I definitely did not expect for EA to come up with one of the coolest implementations of the DualSense’s adaptive triggers to date. It makes me look forward to what they’re capable of doing in maybe two years, when everyone will already own a PS5 or a Series X. As it stands, the PS5 version of FIFA 21 is worth checking out, with tons of modes, teams and licenses. But Ultimate Team still sucks.

    Through small tweaks and refinements, FIFA 21 plays as well as it has done in recent memory, but lacks the relatively big features that are usually used to justify a new version of an annually released game.

    This is a substantial package that's propped up by exciting gameplay that puts the onus squarely on attacking football. There are moments of frustration on defense when the balance doesn't feel quite right, but then you'll go down the other end and score a Puskás Award contender that makes you forget why you were mad in the first place.

    FIFA 21 is a rather good game, but doesn’t really feel a lot different than it’s predecessor. Many things feel the same as in FIFA 20, with some minor changes made to in-game features, like the ability to play FUT in co-op. The AI-controlled players still move around with no real knowledge of the game and will be of no help at all when building up attacks. Playing with others in a co-op mode feels a bit better for us, but this could also be a personal matter of feeling. Volta Football offers another interesting chapter as a story mode and is ideal for those longing to play FIFA Street.

    Another disappointment

    This FUT is making me hate this game that I played for over 20 years. 0 efforts made in the career mode as for the last 3 or 4 years. The gameplay updates must stop because at the end you find yourself playing a truly different game than the one you initially bought

    Both football games need to step up significantly on next-gen. As home consoles enter an era of unprecedented potential, in terms of pure fun neither FIFA 21 nor PES 2021 get anywhere close to those respective series’ PS2 heyday.

    The last time i played FIFA was on PS2 and thank God it's more playable this time around. Managed to win on Legendary difficulty even tho AI keeps doing "imaginary" skills in gameplay. EA knows how to win on presentation. Kudos to their big fund. Gameplay is okay not perfect. Defending needs to improve.

    If you ever played football in your life, you know that this is not football. You run with the ball at top speed, with no downsizing, your goalkeeper will exit from the goal with less effectiveness then ever, your defender are impotent in front of fast goal scorers. Bad bad bad. hope next generation goes in an other direction.
