Sort the keepers out its killing this game.
WORST FIFA YET. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME. The goalkeeping is non existent whether you have a good or crap goalkeeper. The stats on the fut cards don't mean f*** all. The stats are whatever EA make them for that game. I've noticed especially against AI that the computer will take control of your players and do things to help them score. On harder difficulties you have to tackle a player about 20 times before you win the ball. You can foul a player and that player will still carry on running while you're still on the ground. No matter what you do the ball will always go back to them. I've been sent off and given penalties away for challenges where I win the ball and when the game really wants to screw you you could go from 5-0 up to drawing the game including adding about 10 minutes onto the 2 minutes injury time just so they can win the match. The passing consistently goes AWOL so again passing stats don't count for s***. I've finally had enough of fifa. I've snapped my disc and I'm finally switching to pro evo and I don't even care. Be a nice change to play a decent football game for the first time in years. Do not feed EA's pocket. On top of that fut is technically gambling so EA are getting kids into gambling at a young age. It's disgusting what companies do just for money.
Fifa21 is dreadful
STAY AWAY FROM FIFA 21...After fifa 20 I didn't think things could get any worse, how wrong was i? EA need to fire their whole team that worked on this game they clearly never watched a football game in their lives, its dog crap on so many levels i dont even know where to start, be a pro mode is dreadful its the most scripted part of the game what ever happened to defending its like it doesn't exist in the game anymore players running around doing volleys if you tackle its a free kick if you do nothing they score? The bots might aswel not even be on the f*cking pitch they do nothing but pass to the wrong players and lose the ball constantly, they cant defend for sh*t either. Ultimate team where to start only bought 100 packs or so best player ive got has a whopping rating of 82! Seriously I dont know how EA have been getting away with ROBBING people for so long, but hey as long as all those "famous" youtubers keep packing all the top players we still have hope right? if things don't change in the updates this will be the last fifa I ever buy!
Edit player in career mode are great, also training mode are so realistic. Good job EA!
Doesn’t Matter
This game is appalling. The level of goalkeeping is laughable. The only way your goalkeeper will save shots is if you manually move him, otherwise he may aswell be an amputee because his arms and hands are rendered totally uselesss.
The game play feels smooth enough but attacking players make identical runs even with instructions set differently. When breaking 2 on 1 I don’t want the other forward to move towards me, stretch the defender and make him make a decision you big dumb bellend.
Defending is something else. The amount of work that has went in to attacking play you would think at least something should be done with defending but they are absolutely clueless to deep runs or players cutting in from the wing.
Full backs are shockingly bad at tucking in and defensive midfielders seem to have a wall that forbids them tracking a runner in to their own box... what the f*** is the point in him following them for 10 yards to stop dead and let him go?!
The game does have good points but because of the shambles outlined above, every game is like a f***ing cricket score.
I’m sorry but not every game need 6 goals minimum and just shows how bad goalkeeping and defending is on this version.
DON'T BUY THIS GAME!!!
This fifa is the worst game i have ever played in my life! If you have a s*** day, Fifa 21 will just make it worse. If you have a good day Fifa 21 will just make it a bad day. The only thing Fifa 21 gives you, is rage and a bad relationship with the people that you live with. Can't recommend enough to not buy this game. Its a big waste of money. This used to be a game i enjoyed but EA HAS SOLD THEIR SOUL! R.I.P
There is noting changed on FIFA 21:now new Competitions ay want everey year A New Competition Ay Dont Care witch Competition Just A. New One
Rivals games are not rewarding me with skill points. My matches are not registering. This latest FUT 21 is utter dung dont buy it. For three days now i cant get any rivals game to register skill points. Play a game, win,lose or draw nothing registers. Game is a joke!
Previously I let only positive comments for this year's FUT...but 2 things bothered me these days

1) Give the In-form to the players that deserve to get one and not to those that have a OTW item or simply because you want to build hype for the gamers. Just give to the players that deserve one. For example Lozano scored 2 goals and instead of giving him a TOTW item you gave it to Osimhen....I mean come on...

2)FIX YOUR SERVERS...I was suppose to play weekend league tonight but it has already been 2 hours and counting since I cannot connect to the EA servers...at the very least expand the Weekend League until Monday so that everyone can finish the WL. AND FIX YOUR SERVERS!!!
Namedoesntf*****mateer
Honestly Mate, I have no f***ing words for this game. It’s completely trash, a big, huge pile of s***. That dumping fifa21 in the ocean is way more disrespectful to nature. Some s*** like that you put it in a f***ing rocket a shoot it up to space. Like what in hell is wrong with EA. This fifa gets in my f***ing nerves everytime I try to play it. It’s completely s***. The worst f***ing fifa that I have to play. If I knew this game would be such a piece of s*** I wouldn’t have wasted my money on it. Unbelievable mate. They literally think that they’re making the game better, ironically they’re putting more garbage into the game. The very first time I know this game is gonna be a pile of s***, when they remove second defender. Now in this fifa the person my be f***ing stupid, if he or she knows how to dribble then they can win like WHAT THE F*** EA. For those who haven’t buy this game don’t waste your money buy another game that’s not f***ing fifa21 it’s a piece of s***.
I do not really know where to start. They thought minor changes could distract us from the utter s*** this game is. My defenders have no defensive awareness. I concede all the time to runs through the defence I cannot control. This usually happens after I have tackled them and it has still bounced perfectly in front of them. Keepers save f*** all unless the game wants you to win and believe me it is clear when the game does not want you to win. Hit the post three times in one game and ended up losing 5-3 had plenty of chances to come back but obviously his average defender becomes prime maldini. What makes it worse is that ea probably won’t even fix this s*** because it has been the same the last three years. It is a borderline scam, and that is excluding the pack system that definitely does not present gambling to the pegi 3 audience :). Some attackers are just annoying. I see a loan mbappe on the other team and I just consider leaving. Do I need to even talk about pace abuse. I remember in one of the adverts says you are never alone but when I have to defend against mbappe neymar and pogba and my other three defenders have the iq of a brain dead donkey AND my keeper has made like two saves in his long career, I kind of feel alone. Furthermore, what is stupid is when and where my attacking players decide to make runs. I have had my wingers just sit on the half way line when I am trying to get an equaliser. Strikers make the same run and subsequently run into each other or a defender like that is going to get us anywhere. There is a lot more as well. This game just pisses me off but I still buy it every year for some reason. It is a scam how they make you pay 50 pounds every year for a bog standard football experience. If these errors and blatant scripting wasn’t in the game it would most likely be enjoyable but that is never going to happen because I think ea just never care

Its an horrifically bad game the playability has gone completely.
I'd like a full refund for the £55 I wasted on digital download.
You should hang your heads in shame
FIFA 21 Pros and Cons (in its current state I don't suggest this game)

Pro: it is the best soccer game available. This could change soon enough.

Cons: Ratings are stupid and biased. English teams are always the best ratings even though they are s*** in the Champions League. Bayern wins everything and they don't even boost their ratings??? They are still destroying A Madrid today... can you finally respect their team? Alaba drops his rating for winning the treble? You guys are on crack. A team doesn't go down in ratings after they dominate like that in the Champions League. I doubt I will buy FIFA anymore with their biased ratings and bugs.

Lots of bugs with passing and players movements. At least they don't force you to pass to offside players anymore, but this game will never fix their s***. They need to release every 2 years to put out a proper game. Passing really is the core of soccer and this game is broken. I am aiming right at a player and the ball goes to the teammate far left. This is the murder of any of my tactics. Players will receive the ball and take 3 seconds to shoot even if he is Lewandowski who doesn't even know how to take 3 seconds to shoot.

I like career mode, but they never do much with it. I could still be playing FIFA 2019 and it was better than recent releases. Stop rushing out with your crap product. Loan to buy options are just more annoying. Now they don't loan my players and keep asking to by my future stars.
I only play career mode and making career mode as ugly as it’s been made so far is absolutely stupid.
1 the keeper is almost pointless
2 AI is always faster and more physical. My player would slide tackle get the ball away and AI just walks back and gets it.
3 you either have your team full attack or fully defensive there’s nothing in between.
4 it’s almost pointless to go for a 50/50 ball just forget about it.
5 the speed and accuracy of the AI passes and shots is just BS
6 If you play legendary where the stupidity starts then go to word class is like playing another game big big big difference between the difficulties. Losing 1 nil to legendary then winning 13 nil in world class isn’t world class.
7 When they said they’ll fix career mode I thought it’s all the above problems but none of that from the previous year was fixed.
This game is horrific! I would actually love my money back as I cant see myself turning it on anymore. The gameplay is worse than ever, if any of you long-time players can even imagine that. I constantly commit fouls yet end the game without the other team commuting a single infraction. EVERY game! The passing and defending are as if the players are drunk. 50/50 and ricochets always go to computer players. All I can say is aside from finally hearing youth players names announced and a really cool development system, this game is absolute garbage!
EA STOP choosing who you should give a TOTW card and give it to those that actually deserve it. I have been waiting for LW Lozano in TOTW 4 that feets perfectly in my team and he deserved to get a TOTW card (scored 2) but instead you gave an inform to Osimhen simply because he has a OTW item... STOP THAT IT IS SUPER ANNOYING...Just give it to the players that deserve an inform.

I had high hopes for Fifa 21 because fifa 20 couldn’t be any worse but i was wrong! All the same problems and some new ones too! They need to get the basics right first, like passing a straight forward ball without it going to the wrong player 8 out of 10 times, goalie that are all over the place. AI?? There is no AI, well that works anyway! My advice would be DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON FIFA 21!! ITS A LOAD OF RUBBISH!
Dear EA

Nothing changed in ultimate team fifa 21 from that in fifa 20, Division rivals sucks and skill points is very lowwwww even that i am winning. Also, there is no any passion to play ultimate fifa 21, i just need to wait every time until the start of a new division rival, pleaseeee fix it
In fifa ultimate team on PC, I don't know about other platforms. But when you want to list a player/item en want to change the buy-now price it changes to 0 and cant to anything about it so please fix this. Thanks in advance
Massive Fan of Career Mode thankyou! Would like to see more Manager outfit customization options, the beard styles are supremely limited!
Please please please fix the passing, 90% of the passes are the wrong ones no matter how good your players passing ratings are. The power bar means absolutely nothing when it comes to passing its a joke.
I have now been able to test the new career mode for a few hours. Unfortunately I was disappointed again, like every year ... The contract negotiations with players and clubs have not been optimized for 4 years. loan with the option to buy is touted here as an innovative novelty * wow * That's it for the novelty.

The player still decides which role he wants to take on in the club "key player etc." It is not possible to choose something else, although it is pretended to have options (rotation players etc.)
It looks the same with the contract period. You can only vary the term + -1 year.

The interviews are still monotonous, boring and without a spoken version. (See NBA2K, suitable interviews and varied)

For the fact that it was advertised that there is a focus on career, "just" the simulation of the game day and the training mode is simply far too little.

Stadium / jerseys / sponsoring / youth (10-20 years the same jerseys and sponsors are just boring)
So this years FIFA 21, in a nutshell sucks. So a big bug is handball penalties. This is not slagging this is for real. When the opposition handball in the penalty box the game stalls, you can’t do anything and clock continues to tick by but then the game does eventually go back to normal. But it is a bug for sure.

Also when you start a new career mode the team you select doesn’t have the 20/21 live fixtures for them. I feel this is a bug as well.

And when it comes to editing teams, the likes of Pogba, Dybala aren’t available to you. You can only attempt to purchase them when you’ve started a career mode for whichever team.

Need to add RANDOM or default to transfer negotiations and not just loose or strict.

Plus Leeds Utd don’t have Elland Road as their stadium.

Need to add more training sessions including training goalkeepers, this doesn’t exist.

For me EA Sports that’s quite a bit to be fixing and so far it’s going on two weeks and nothing has changed. We aren’t happy this year. This is by far the worse FIFA ever.
HI once again you have done it again, I reached Wlite 3 and went to play the next day what happened , you put me back to gold 1 the one before Elite 1. what on earth is going on your cheating again and you put the points up. what is the use of playing the game if it is not fair, come on get your act together and stop this.


Not very happy Sam
Hi, bought fifa 21 hoping it’ll be different but it’s still s*** like the last one. Goal keepers don’t block a f***ing thing, when playing your players make stupid decisions off the ball, everything goes in the goal, the ref let’s the play go on after stoppage time no matter how long they have to ball for on your box I hate this game going to pes. So f*** you f*** the developers f*** ea f*** fifa 20 f*** fifa 21
Missing Player in FUT. Austrian Bundesliga, FC Red Bull Salzburg.
Sekou Koita is missing as card in FUT. Already missing in FUT20 too.
This is a database issue. The player is available in every other play mode.
Pls add him to FUT.
i just want to let people know DONT buy this game its total aids every game is scripted defenders constantly running forward or out of position for the strikers to run behind or just passing the ball to your oppenents strikers inside the 18 yard box its exactly the same with the pay to win system in FUT champions. The amount of times iv been winning 2-0 then they score a f***ing bulls*** goal then somehow go on for them to win is ridiculous, after last year i gave it one more try but i will NEVER be buying this piece of s*** game again which is created to do one thing TAKE YOUR MONEY. They have ruined the game everything comes down to bulls*** in the end deflected shot tap ins sweaty balls in behind and scripted game play where you can have 3-4 1v1 shots saved by your opponents keeper only to have them break from no were and score a JEW goal. worst football game creators of all time DONT BUY IT.
Hi I agree with you it is just to make money, I am 74 love the game but it is always against you. I play on line now an then always get beat but thats nhe way it goes, but trying to build your points up inultimate is arip off. you know where you are when you finish and go back the next day hoping to be in the same place and they have moved youback and increased the points you have to gain.Yessssssssssssss its all about money.
The dribbling feels far worse than last year. There seems to be no fluidity. The only way of changing direction is by using skill moves. This may be to make the game ‘more realistic’ but instead it feel horrible. Every player feel very clunky unless they are 5 feet tall with 100 agility.
The defending is basically impossible and scoring is too easy. Legendary difficulty matches in manager mode keep ending with over 10 goal matches. So while looking for realism the game has become less realistic than ever. AI make it even harder to defend as they keep doing drag backs making them impossible to tackle. FUT matches are mayhem goals scored on both side very often. Sharpness in career mode makes the game extremely repetitive. You spend more time training and looking after player than you do playing. Fifa is not a football simulator it’s a football game so making doing a career mode into a full time job is a bad choice.
Hi ea
I found bug in manager career mode. In the period of trading players . The face of the team manager looks like each other. Face of manager same all team. Fix this please, i'm so tired of it. thank you.
Buggy as hell. You can hardly slide tackle players anymore. The play doesn't feel as fluid as it used to be.
This game is the worst. Bots will constantly throw you out of your game in FUT and the game will punish YOU for it. It's the same s*** as every year, but the pay-to-win is tangible this time- in no way, shape or form obscured. Don't have Ronaldo on your team? Well bye-bye defense. Doesn't matter what skill level you are at.
1/5 stars, STAY AWAY
Awful, don’t waste your money.
Ultimate team like last year has allowed EA Sports to earn loads of money through kids spending endless amounts of packs to get a good team. If you play the game properly, you have no chance.
Ea

You have to take the auto shoot in front of goal back, i literally miss all tab ins because first of all, i cant shoot and i dont Know why and second of all because there is not auto shoot.

Fix this s*** please, im so tired of it.
FIFA 21 is absolute bulls***. I bought Jan Oblak 91 rated and before I had Kasper Schmeichel 84 rated and I swear it should be the other way around. Oblak had let 7 rediculous goals in which in real life would of been saved easily. FIFA just gets worse and worse every year. You guys are messed up and have messed up big time.
Hi ea
Explain this to me. Why is it that when im playing a game my opponent always have to score on the dumbest s*** ever, fx. I clear a ball from a corner to a Player outside the box, i try to shoot the ball away but it takes 3 seconds before my player shoots and my opponent now have the ball and score after my keeper saves it and pushes it right over to another Player who can score on a free goal.

Please fix it.
When you play against the CPU is very boring. They don't shoot or cross and all producing skills out of nowhere including the defenders. Something which we do not see in real life. Also the grass is so dark which makes the game dull. Technology is improving while FIFA is going backwards , I do not know why. EA please update these.
Is it me or is fifa just getting worse and worse. You have players who all think they are ronaldo and just not real. The deffending is getting worse and worse. The player just leaves the ball. They really need to sort this game as it just an joke
CPU's with a high rated skills is unrealistic. Do not shoot, do not cross, always the same movement it is so boring. Also pitch is so dull with no bright colour as previous fifa ones. What is happening? Instead we're moving forward with brand new technology we're going miles backwards.
How come when
you get to Gold 1 to Elite 3 and leave till the next time to play you put the points up by 3000, you are stealing from us as usual.

I know you will not take any notice of my remarks, but you are only there to make money forget about us. So stop this robbery.
FUT:
A major improvement compared to last year. The gameplay is better, the scripting is way less (if there is any at all this year) and the gameplay is enjoyable. I don't agree with people saying that the pack lack is bad, for me it is just the way it should be...not getting a walkout easily is better...imagine if everybody was getting walkouts regularly...everybody would have 11 Icons, or Messi, Ronaldo, Mbappe, Van Dijk in their squads and all the fun would be gone early in the game.

9.5/10 from me in FUT and not 10/10 just because there is always room for improvement

Career mode:
An improvement compared to last year in the graphics. However, the transfer logic is REALLY REALLY bad, I mean I can buy a young prospect that is almost guaranteed to become world class for very little money. I bought Tonali for example 25 mil and Ansu Fati for something like 10-20 mil. In the meantime Barcelona rejected a bid of 120 mil for Fati from Man Und in the real world. It is just not realistic and VERY EASY to make a world class team. It is just not rewarding. Plus the Ultimate level this year in Career Mode is very easy.

4/10 from me in Career Mode
passing needs to be tweaked, just a little too inconsistent but i agree with the concept that they went for with passing. referees/foul calling and yellow/red card decisions are TERRIBLE. MUST BE FIXED, borderline ridiculous. and lastly, defensive blocking needs a moderate nerf. decent feel to the game but those things really need to be fixed. and what happened to posession tackling??? slide tackling is great when timed nicely because you will be rewarded, but standing tackling offers very little reward for good timing and contact to ball when pressing standing tackle.
1. FIX THE GOALKEEPERS, THEY ALL BECOME SO S***
2. FIX THE CPUS, THEY ALL BECOME NEYMAR OR RONALDINHO. Fernando a CDM dribbled past 5 players in penalty box or KDB doing unnecessary tricks in the MIDFIELD right after kick off. THEY WOULD NOT DO THAT IN REAL LIFE. THIS IS NOT VOLTA AS WELL.
3. FIX THE CAREER MODE TRAINING REALISM. Why would a defender assigned to attacking trainings? or why would you want to focus on declining Thiago Silva and Giroud for all trainings instead of Hudson-Odoi that's got potential??? and why I ALWAYS GOT A D RATING EVERY TIME I SIMMED THE TRAINING?

SERIOUSLY, FIX YOUR GAME!
Christ, this game is terrible. most infuriating fifa ever, it doesn't feel like were playing a game of fifa it feels like whoever can control the challenged players the best and create the most toxic goals possible wins. passing is broken. i constantly have players passing in the complete unintended direction, and switching between players is broken as well. honestly a trash game. EA stole hundreds of dollars from me years ago. and thank god i only got a month of the EA crap to try this game, thank god i didnt buy it
Jonas Löfving
When you get a penalty shot, the player in question freezes along with the pictures and it takes about half a minute for the game to start again. Ricardo Quaresma has been in every FIFA for the last 15 years, but this year, his face is not added on him in the game like in the recent FIFA-games. Very strange
I won't beat the same dead horse everyone else is because all those problems either will or won't get fixed, and I guess same with this problem too. All the UI's in player career stop tracking after the first game. Game itself stops tracking assists. And I guess I will also run this point into the groud too even though I said I wouldn't but goal keeping is absolutely atrocious. The first fifa I had ever played, fifa 2004, had literally perfect goalies if I'm comparing it to this. Thats it from me I'm sure others will comment on other points just had to throw my 2 cents in here.
This game is hot trash worst fifa ive played
The career mode is broken. So unrealistic, I can’t even loan out a player. Every bloody team want to loan with a buy option? I mean how unrealistic is that?? And they want me to pay half of their salary for a year or two but give today’s value for the player...

I really like the thought of it, but is this the best thing EA could come up with? The algorithm is so broken! It doesn’t work. Better of playing FIFA 20 for another year! Let’s wait for EA to do all the updates. I’m so glad that I didn’t bought the game. Not worth it!
im 52 and have played every fifa since its inception on various consoles.Cant really add to what other people have said but it appears to have been BADLY rushed.Goalkeepers stepping aside for the opposition to score, brushing people and getting carded,defending non existant ITS JUST FIFA ON ACID like playing a game of basketball, no tactics just GOALS SKILLS TRICKS but EA will do this cos muppets like me still buy it.1 positive no fitness worries but with FIFA 22 could you plz carry a couple of your star players over and you should be rewarded for how many games you play endorsing the product not because how good you are!!!! RANT OVER
