You can be playing the worst teams in the game and they pass it around like they are Barcelona, never losing the ball.
What is with all the high passes this year, everytime you go to close a player down they knock it over you. Even when they don't need to knock it over and just play a through ball they still knock it over.
It is not realistic by any means. It has to be the worst FIFA in a long time.
I'll start by saying this game does have improvements to the overall look and with that ends the complements.
This game is a disgrace to the sport and EA is simply exploiting peoples love for the football. I refuse to fall victim to this gambling racket that EA passes for a football game. Henceforth I'm going to throw my money at PES and every other football game developer just so that EA stop making FIFA games. I'm not going to say what is wrong with the game - look up FIFA 17, 18, 19, 20 - it has the same issues.
You developers need to be ashamed of yourselves, selling your soul to this worthless company, and not using your skills to create something worthwhile.
Andrew Wilson - you can keep the change you filthy animal.
GOOD RIDDANCE!
I came back to FIFA in the last few years from the competitor .I may go back. Playing the player career as a striker the team defence is now shocking. May as well not have one
Previous years the defence was far to good.
I may sell this one and buy the competitor.
1) Connections.. why does the ping show 20 and when I play... screen will freeze?! And due to that I lost a lot of games because opponents are playing and all my players are down there watching opponents showcasing their skills move and of course.. scoring against me.
2) Why is it so hard to defend against what you all call kick off? It seems to be this “kick off” thingy have been around since the longest time.. my defenders and keeper literally just do all stupid stuff to let opponents score. And I really hard a lot of problems scoring against them despite I having more shots / shots on goal. Their keeper seems to be unbeatable. Even when I managed to penetrate the deeper part of the penalty box like always. My strikers seems to like to kick the ball towards the keeper.. if not, the keepers made save that my keeper literally doesn’t make.
3) Through ball impossible to defend against. I really have to learn the hard way to defend against such goals by taking loads of insults from opponents after they score. Still very inconsistent sometimes because my defenders (Varane, Ake) doesn’t have the “strength” or pace to guard against them.
4) Constant pressure.. this is what I read.. it seems like when certain tactic are apply, all these rebound and problem getting the ball out of my own penalty box happens which I really feel it. I have near to zero chance to make things happen.
Just sharing some of my thoughts. I know more problems is within the game and hopefully, someone or the project manager of EA will do something to make the next version better
Point 1: Dribbling is approximately impossible in 1 vs 1 situations. The players are too heavy.
Point 2: when I use a midfielder or defender to cut passing lanes, it doesn't work as it is used to be in fifa 21 even if my defender or my midfielder is 90 in defending. For example, I position a player between 2 opponent players to cut passing lanes but I get surprised when I see my player leave his position with no reason and that is unacceptable. This is like cheating. This is not the way to learn.
Point 3: The correct through balls doesn't work.
Yes, most of the the correct through ball situations doesn't work, whether you press triangle or triangle + L1. The balls gets overhit and the player who is excepted to get the ball, keep changing his place randomly just to not get the ball. The only situation that works is when the runner gets parallel with the defender. Fifa makes the defender step back and stop running and instead of intercepting the ball and the runner is left alone and 1vs1 with the opponent keeper. This is like cheating and it is not the way you learn.
Point 4: slides tackles and interceptions are too bad. If you intercept the ball, tackled the ball or perform a slide to the opponent, the ball will again goes to the opponent player, eithet the same player or different teammate. This is like cheating. This is not the way you learn.
Point 5: offensive and defensive player positioning is so bad. If i played a pass with x button, my teammate will start running forwardly and the ball will not reach correctly. And if my teammate was running and i played a through pass, my teammate will suddenly stop running or start changing his direction randomly.
Point 6: ai defense is too bad. They leave their places randomly even if I make the defence tactis as balanced. And if they leave their place and go near the opponents, they keep staring at him instead of intercepting the ball and I cannot get auto switch to them. They doesn't cover the penalty area correctly and doesn't chase runners and position correctly. In addition, sometimes I leave a defender on the goal line. The opponent shoot the ball slowly and at an angle near my defender. If my defender just move his leg, he will save the team and become hero but the defender prefers to stare at the ball getting insde the goal. Defenders are imposters.
Point 7: Passing doesn't reach to the player that I want especially in through balls. And auto switches in defending are too bad. Fifa doesn't switch me to the player that I want whether I make it ball relatives or player relatives.
Point 8: player rating. I am sorry to say that rare gold player ratings are so bad and unfair. For example, paris lost last year and this year. So it is unfair to keep neymar 91. He misses too much in front the goal, and it will be unfair if his shooting rate did not decrease. The same thing applies to ronaldo ( who is poor in skill moves but gifa make him 5 star skill moves while other players deserve ), salah, mane, werner, messi and other players. Another example, as you saw in liverpool matches, alisson performance was disappointing this year. It will be unfair if he remained the same rate 90 in fifa 22. You have to increase the rate of better goalkeepers like ederson, chelsea keeper, navas etc... Another example, liver lost 7-2 to aston villa and lost many matches. Is it fair to see Van dajik with 90 defending in fifa 22 ? It is unfair. Other defencive player deserve to increase their rates.
Point 9: the refree ends the match in critical monents. For example, the refree ends the match before i play my last pass and make the striker in 1 vs 1 situation with the keeper.
Overall, I think that FiFa 21 is designed to help the noobs and encourage them to play this game. So it is a bad idea to design a game that will pleasure the minority, ignoring the opinion of the majority. Believe me fifa, the people doesn't need a good graphics, a green grass. The players need a fair and logic games. Please design a game with an advanced artificial intelligence, return back the dribbling, make the game fair and logical.
Hopefully they’ll fix it and make it a good and fare game again. Recently I’ve posted some comment on Twitter and it seems EA didn’t like them, cause since then, the game is unplayable for me
My packluck is so good considering I haven't spent money or trade. EA acts like you need to open so many damn packs to get good packs, and their packs cost like 20 euros! how can a 20 euro-25 euro pack have the chance of giving me a fully unusable pack? how can I spend 20 euros and get an 83 rated as my best? this game is a joke.
Dont even get me started on body types, How can the shape of a body make player better? how is base ronaldo with 89 pace so strong when hes just 6'2 and with like max 90 strength? I have team of the season dias whos 94 rated and with an anchor makes every single defending and physical stat 99? why is every single promo based around the top 5 teams and relevant players? why not add good value sbc's? Why does a Sabitzer with like 88 pace, 85 shooting, 86 passing cost like 500k and then a card with a broken body type, 97 pace 90+dribbling, 87 shooting David Neres be so cheap like 150k??
How on earth are icon sbcs fair. why am I spending 8 hours grinding icon swaps for a base icon pack, just to get a 85 un useable Hagi? 500k+ for vidic 90? 500k for 89 Lineker? Really??
There has literally been proof that ea has full control of your luck. A while back this year, Companion players had acces to the moderators menu and saw everything and there is proof everywhere on YouTube, why on earth can people buy icons for 1000$ but when you spend 1000$ on packs you get half the price of that player? The fact that people like that are hired is a joke, Hire me and I can do a better job. hire a blind man with no ligaments and he will do a better job. Look at every review, 90% of them are negative, do ea even listen to their customers? my friend discarded my packed Kevin de bruyne at the start of the year and I had no recoveries left and I had to wait 7 days and almost lost my kdb, I contacted ea help and didn't receive a reply, even if they straight up told me they can't help me, I wouldn't have been mad, but I didn't even recieve a reply. Its a shame that people play this game, I really hope that people play pes next year and fifa gets their lowest ever play count and first day plays so they actually change their game. Why is fifa getting worse every year :( I really want to play fifa and have fun but I really can't. everyone uses the same players and pays to win. its alkmost like if you spenf money then youre already getting better packluck in fifa. I really hope ea see this review and every other negative review and change something, I wouldn't even mind if they didn't change one thing in the code from fifa 15-18, because at least it would be enjoyable. Its such a disgrace that fifa gets this much attention and plays simply just becuase its the only big football game, because pes is known for being in fifas shadow, nobody will play it. the second Pes becomes good and fun and not rigged like fifa then Ea will change their game but because they have no rivalry they can keep the same boring, pay to win game with the same meta abusing people. Worst community, nobody enjoys this game.
2/10 for me, I only give this game a 2/10 because I have good luck for the first time in years. if not, I would have quit the game in December and given it a 0/10. FIX YOUR GAME.
Durante los partidos, desesperante. Vas ganado 2-0 y empiezan a pasar cosas raras. El rival empieza a jugar como si llevara siendo campeón los últimos 20 años. Sacas el balón jugado desde atrás... Rebote en el rival. Tiras a puerta desde fuera del área... Rebote en el rival. Tu portero la para y el balón cae al rival. Parece más un juego de tenis en el que el rival devuelve todo.
No quiero que el juego sea fácil, quiero que sea real. Y cuando metes dos goles a tu rival, no se viene arriba y te arrasa. Tus jugadores no empiezan a cometer errores de juveniles. El balón no rebota continuamente contra tus rivales.
Como conclusión, es el Fifa más desesperante que he conocido, porque no sabes realmente como jugar. Y además con cada actualización estropean algo y no dejan el juego tranquilo.
Los juegos cada vez tienen menos calidad, y los de fútbol con el monopolio de licencias que tiene Fifa, más
Levels do not increase in difficulty, but rather realism. Have any of your game developers even watched a football match? Even once?
When Willian becomes a team’s strongest defender (Van Dijk level), it’s a waste of time.
Football fans need to push for PES to get the same licensing. Gameplay is much better.
EA sports - you manage year by year to ruin the greatest sport on this planet.
Congrats.
Yours sincerely
Still Fifa 20 player.
Too many people saying its worse than 20. Was that possible. And weekend league wow. How do they assess who plays who? Im a fan of playing against pros and winning nothing. Sarcasm incase u can't tell
I’d like to file a very important complaint towards your game.⚽️⚽️ You have taken away little 13 ♂️year old boys’ lifes, all they play is Fifa, they are addicted!
Their girlfriends♀️ are gettingt tired of them forgetting about them because they are on Fifa⚽️ with the lads️. It is valid that i sue this game! They leave us on delivered for hours and hours andwe reply within minutes✝️.They would 100% chose Fifa⚽️ over us⚽️ which is unacceptable behaviour and we do not tolerate that.
I don’t care that you opened a pack♂️ on Fifa⚽️ and that it was a Shit pack JOKING Don’t get too offended boys that’s Why me and isla would like to SUE➿ Fifa⚽️⚽️⚽️
Kind Regards⚽️
After playing fifa since fifa 2007, i see that Gameplay is getting worse and worse, so annoying to play, this is sick.
I prefer to play fifa 2007 or fifa street 2 then this rubish.
The image quality its better but the Gameplay and Carrer mode its só confusing, for God sake just give us a game to enjoy and not just because its similar to real life!
The most frustrating thing Is, that FUT was so good 16, 17, pretty good 18, 19 was bad, 20 was frankly awful. 21 is just indescribably bad.
In fifa 17, I only played online.
My records were something like 550 wins, 290 losses and a number of draws.
This year, I have far more losses than wins.
I suspect that the game has become pay to win and if a user doesn't buy any packs, they are nearly always put against a better team. Infact I can't actually remember the last time I played against a team that wasn't way better than mine.
Tonight is a great example why your stupid "momentum" aka scripting just doesn't work.
I started the night with skill rating 526
Finished the night with skill rating 350ish.
Nearly every game I went ahead by more than 2 goals and then the opposition beat me in the last 10 mins. About 3 of the times the winning goal was a dodgy penalty that would have never been given otherwise.
The fact is, FIFA have sold out to the casual player that isn't that good but is willing to pay.
It's the last one I'm buying fifa. I cannot remember the last time I enjoyed your game. It's a shame, because just 4 years ago, it was an excellent game but the scripting and continued f***ery with the game play make it an extremely turgid experience I never wish to repeat. Done.
And my favourite trick moves, they are unstoppable one player is able to get throgh whole defence, doesnt really matter how many defenders you have 4, 5 or 6 easy deal for any striker.
EA please make football simulator with logic and close to real game not this crap.
