FIFA 21 Feedback & Reviews

Worst fifa title since 1998! It can’t get any worse! 99 percent of the games you play are like a super boring game that sometimes you get in real life. Feels like you’re playing slow motion mode! Defending horrific, a 72 rated player has skill moves as much as neymar and mboppe! Goalkeepers get high before every match! No Martin Tyler! Remember fifa 20 was s*** at first but after 20 updates got a bit better but this one honestly There’s no hope unless they change the whole gameplay as an update which is unlikely to happen!

3 things that need fixing.
To bring things in perspective, I'm playing career mode on legendary difficulty. Always have done.
1. AI is the most perfect defender, always spot on.
2. AI all their players which are in real life not good at tricks now suddenly got as many skills as Neymar, for example, I was playing against Eintracht Frankfurt with Bas Dos as a striker and against Wolfsburg with Wout Weghorst as a striker. Well, I'm Dutch so I've seen these players for a couple of years but as far I know they don't have any skills. They are deadly in the box but no skilled players like Neymar but in Fifa21 they are absolutely amazing they tricked me like a .... It doesn't seem logical to me.

And 3!!!

The GOALKEEPERS, what on earth are they doing??????
They are an absolute joke!!!!

I've played manager carrer mode in the legendary difficult level and every player are dribbling as Neymar, De Bruyne, as any top class player. I think a nerf is welcomed. Every player in their 70 overall, including the center backs, it's unrealistic

FIFA 21 what a joke
The goalkeepers are shocking it’s a shamble every shot u take on goal it’s a goal
Why can’t top class keepers keep clean sheets example a Allison, Leno, ederson etc
There should be games where the top keepers Sometimes wins u a point or 3points for the team like real life it’s shocking it should be harder to score
The game needs to be more compact a midfield battle when playing two top teams against each other I dunno man I’m spewing been buying the game since 99 I dunno I actually don’t know the color of fifa 21 is a shamble also playing at the Emirates stadium and it’s like playing on a faded pitch it’s meant to be nice and green I can go on an on but I’m just tired fifa thank you

I giocatori veloci e semi-veloci sembrano dopati, la difesa non riesce a stargli dietro e basta giocare con un giocatore per farti tutta la squadra ed andare a segnare perché portiere anche lì impotente, su qualsiasi pallone. I lanci filtranti sono un po' lenti rispetto alla reattività del controller, si finisce sempre in fuorigioco. Per il resto buone idee e gioco ben fatto, come detto prima l'aspetto difensivo molto scarso.

Defending is ridiculous so horrible and ai attackers skill move 99% of the time when you do tackle the softest foul is a yellow card looks like it's the same old boring annoying game from last year

I only play Seasons. I noticed pace was given more weight this year than last year and I’m pleased with the balance between strikers and defenders. The tackling needs to be addressed. I have played a few games and I noticed some players are taking advantage of blatant fouls not be called. Like clear yellow cards to prevent me from scoring and they are not being called by the referee. Aside from that, I am happy about this Fifa.

well.. why the hell is the gameplay scenario so... grey???? What the hell is wrong with you, there's no brightness and color in the game. It looks like i'm playing on a rainy sunday day, in all games.. day or night it feels the same.. Grass and equipments have no color, please change that before i stop playing it.

Ea Sports dont care about anything other then Fut even not about the gameplay we are buying this game and making them earn huge amount of money and in return we get ridicilous gameplay of football . I also dont understand uefa how they can give the pattern of their name with champions league to this game where its shame for football with its poor gameplay. I dont advice anyone buying this game anymore lets not make them rich where we dont get what we deserve.#Stop buying fifa Now#

This fifa 21 is a joke I lose my contract at my club because I gave Buffon 900 million release clause and his manager accepted I played one match after that then they terminate my contract saying that is the first this ever happened in the history of the club in 2020 this wouldn't have happened because if you give a player too much of a big release cause their manager will denied So When I saw that Buffon manager accept the release cause I gave to him I believe everything is okay to my surprise I got terminated this is stupid

Please take dynamic potential out of career mode or make it optional.

I like some of the changes that were made in career mode this year, but dynamic potential is way too aggressive. You can take any teenager with 70-80 potential and have him at 90+ potential in under 2 years by simply putting him in your starting lineup. If you enjoy starting with a lesser team and building them into a powerhouse, it is way too easy. In principal, the idea of a player's potential changing to reflect his play time/ performance is more realistic, but your implementation of it is terrible. I would rather have no dynamic potential than what you made. To be fair, this was true of FIFA 20 last year too, but I was optimistic that it would be removed this year.

AI skill moves are ridiculous, computer constantly using skill moves instead of passing so you wind up with oppositions defenders skilling their way up the pitch. goalkeeping is atrocious again on both sides just as it was at the beginning of fifa 20, AI defending is too perfect (never give away free kicks or penalties). Visuals are fantastic but gameplay is shockingly bad, almost makes the game unplayable. EA really shouldn't bring out the game early if it isn't finished and requires 3 months worth of patch updates to get it up to standard, especially for the asking retail price.

Absolutely ridicioulus game.Nothing has changed comparing to fifa 20.The game screams unrealistic scenarious,dedenders are buggy shooting is unrealistic, just utterly stupid game taking the price and everything.I expect fifa 22 to be completly chaneged in every department possible from Ultimate team to carrer mode.It just doesent make sense to buy this crap anymore, i want my money's worth.I will rather play Warzone or any other game where i realy have fun rather than this nerve wrecking peace of s***.

The worst version of FIFA in recent years for the below reasons:

1. Losing the license of Italian Serie B

۲. Removed the best football commentator, Martin Tyler

3. Very bad soundtrack music album and cold music without excitement

4. Very few changes in the career mode

Whatever AI team you’re playing against, they constantly do skill moves instead of simple five yard passes. As much as it’s nice you can do skill moves, I’ve noticed the opposition over do it. Doesn’t scream realism to me, especially with lower leagues and poorer players!

When there is a handball in the box resulting in a penalty, the commentators cut out and the camera just shows the field. The defender ends up kind of shuffling around for about 20-30 secs and then the player lines up for the PK and things get back to normal. Seems like there is a malfunction here.

Defending is broken. If you high press you get exposed. If you sit back and defend you get exposed. It's f***ing s*** and boring. Regretting buying this garbage already. Same every year with the stress this broken piece of s*** brings.

Genuinely the worst FIFA I have personally played in my lifetime. Defending is horrific, the players feel less like people and more like unresponsive robots attempting to play soccer, and somehow even when you’re winning by 5 goals the game will still frustrate you to the point of wanting to rage quit with how awful the gameplay is. Save your money and save the space on whatever console you’re using because unless there are significant changes it’s not worth owning. If you do want to buy an even worse version of FIFA 20 then go ahead but you had your warning.

kocaman fifa 21 doesn't have enough power to buy juventus or other licenses? And I don't understand what is the purpose of constantly updating the game. Design the game properly then

Absolute s***e, no 3rd kits for teams, no players who moved on transfer deadline day in their new team. First match I played half the net of the goal was missing, all they’re bothered about now is making money from ultimate team. Why the hell would anyone want to buy it on the day it comes out for the teams not to have their new players like playing fifa 20 put no effort in once again

Multiplayer is s*** every year in fifa. We like to play with my friends locked players in same team but you cannot do it in custom tournaments and champions League. We have been waiting when fifa give us multiplayer manager or player career that you can play with your friends against A.I but every year is disappointing.so I'm not gonna buy this game this year either. Maybe next year new try!

- : The navigation panel is not user friendly. The control for driven ground cross does not seems to work half the time in PS4. No sense to try to play in Fut friendly when your opponents are trying to humiliate you because of the different in levels. Not sure if co-op play works for everyone. The stadium objective is a waste of time.
+ : The removal of player's fitness levels. The animation. The mobile app.

Still one step forward two step back. Listen to your consumers, think of what's fun and fair to your players, not only to your pockets.

Just another disappointing year. The keepers don't even dive. They are useless. Many shots on goal goes in without the keeper even diving after the ball. The keepers just fall to the ground in the middle of the goal. You can't even enjoy the thrill of scoring because the balls just go in so fast even on slow game speed. Gameplay is great but every manner of player performs agile dribbling. That's ridiculous. I'm done with FIFA 21. Good thing I just paid for early access to try it. No wonder they didn't release a demo this time around, They know how crap it is.

After a horrendous year for me with Fifa 20, which I did not enjoy at all, I wanted to try Fifa 21. I knew it would be bad and I didn't expect a good Fifa from EA but god this is awful. I had to double check that I wasn't playing Fifa 20 because its just the same. Goals everywhere. Just play the ball to some pacey trickster and he would do the job but he had to do it 5 times in one match because your opponent did the same. Put up a team with 90 pace at average and you are in div 2 with Rivals. You got a good and expensive team? Cute! Here comes Ea with another made up event which plummets the prices on the market. Boom! you bought Kevin de Bruyne for 300K? He is 130k now. How come that the community is not doing something to this franchise? Youtubers who are praising this game cant be taken seriously. E-sporters giving their lives for a game that doesnt truly reflect the worlds most beautiful game. Should I start about the lootbox system? Should I start about the easily given penalties? Should I start about the awfully slow menus? Did I say about the lootboxes? Scripting? The lootbox system? I cannot imagine EA being proud of this game. How did they work a year on this game? They are delivering a lazy product to their customers full of bugs.

Wish I didn't bother buying this game. Gameplay for me is abysmal and as for defending forget about it. No matter what settings I use the AI constantntly auto switches players even when settings are set to manual. Conceding so many goals because I can't get control of a defender that is anywhere near the ball. Personally this will probably be the last fifa game I will buy as it's just not an enjoyable experience any more and the whole idea of gaming is to have fun and enjoy.

In career mode as manager. When in team selection and looking at the players stats, their age isn't there. Is that something missed? Really annoying when you're trying to put youth first in a career but you don't know how old players are. Only way to see there age is to exit team selection and view them in the squad hub.

Since fifa 2018 its pitty for every cent I pay to this game. Every year ea sports makes very good advertising but an awful gameplay . Ridicilous defending system. with volta football came out got even worser it feels like I play fifastreet at nou camp every game ends like 3-2 4-3 -5-3 because of bad positioning and defending system also stupid momentum ruins everything its very unfair for good players İts over for me I m not gonna buy a new fifa version anymore thank you ea sports for making this game with people who doesnt understand football.

Dont buy, it is basicly same as 20, altough it is imposible to defend agains Legendary or WC, just tackle doesnt work, pressing any button doesnt now reposses the ball. Save your nerves and dont buy this crap

When playing clubs, I was playing “any” and my friend was in “CAM” playing that position and on two occasions we went into a game and he was using my pro.

Far too many free kicks, penalties and red cards. Literally get a fowl and don’t even press to make a tackle.
Edit player is glitchy when moving down to the players from the team names, so definitely needs fixing ASAP

In terms of Ultimate Team-

Please don’t change the gameplay, as of yet, the game (in my opinion) feels way better than fifa 20. People will be unhappy, but don’t nerf anything because as history says, once you nerf an aspect of the game, the whole Gets worse and becomes massively unbalanced, and generic. Give people time to get used to the game, please don’t get swayed by idiots opinions, especially the ones that enjoyed fifa 20

bel gioco di merda , fatto con il culo , sembra parma- verona ogni partita , le partite 0 a 0 , ma che cazzo de gioco è . Trovo no walkout ogni morte de papa , lo compro solo perché so un malato di merda , così non andate da nessuna parte . SVEJATEVE

Well, I really liked experience of the gameplay. It was difficult in the beginning to defend, but it took 10 games to improve my skill, and with every new game I like fifa 21 more. The game speed is reduced, it's more realistic now, and the movement of the ball is great. For now, I like it.
P. S. If you find difficult to defend on fifa21, go and play PES, don't hate :)

Right, where to start...
I can see what you’re trying to do fifa but you’re way overcomplicating the game at this point. Goalkeepers are still useless, you can have a 91 rated keeper and get beaten from anywhere outside / inside the box regardless if the player has 10 finishing, finishing / shooting is just way to over powered this year, every player seems to have 99 pace (yes sometimes you can out pace but not always) passing feels very weak and some what out of control so your pass could end up in no mans land or to the opposition, tackling is actually useless this year.. so don’t bother getting the best high rated defenders cause they’ll get beaten but a bronze non rare player.

Please for the love of god! Look into the added on time timer, every game says 1 minute but will still end up going into 3/4 added minutes so that needs to be improved to actually stop after 1 minute or a few seconds after like in real football as your aim is to make the game as realistic as possible, some serious patch noting needs to be done to this game and one last thing, whenever a player through balls it to there striker running in behind why does the back like automatically jump forward giving them more space to run into?!

Some constructive criticism for Career Mode:

- there should be an option to save the training sessions and the monthly training setup so you can easily switch between different drills and setups
- there is a bug that takes away a lot of the players stamina when you jump to result of a game so the stamina could be in the green or a little worse for every player in the 80th minute and after jumping to result it‘s in the red for every player that was playing in the last 10 minutes

In general I think the game has some potential if they balance the gameplay and fix a few issues. It is a lot better than Fifa 20 in my opinion but Fifa 20 was just the worst at launch. Fifa 21 still could be much better though. At least EA was listening a little and tried to make it a little more like the players want.

Just when you think Fifa titles Couldnt get any worse. Fifa 20 was shambolic, Fifa 21 takes the word shambolic to a new level. Impossible to defend against any player that has pace. Regardless of how good you are its morphed so when sprinting you cant react. Every player seems to play like they are on 1 chem or out of position. No fluidity, every player feels rigid & stiff. Tackling....there seems to be no player animation for tackling so players just dribble around them. Poor, very poor experience

Why does every player turn like a truck, if you pass the ball to your striker he takes a s*** touch and some opposition player aaaalllways makes it to the ball befor my striker does, why i play malen who is a relatively agile and very fast striker, i should be able to take the ball and dribble away or pass back not take a s***ty touch these are pro players and should not almost never happen to them

Passing is still soo wrong, i clearly pass a through ball to my striker making a run ti get 1v1 keeper but noo he sends it backwards to my midfielder who is standing behind oppositions players and they get the ball, so stupid i literally check instant replay and the pass line is directly on the striker but ea doest want me to score, also every clean shouder to shoulder perfect tackle is a foul for some reason and the game is just so damn slow, ball moves sooo slowly and every player feels slow

The competitive mode is weird. The AI skills way to much. Don't get me wrong, that makes the game way to ez an predictable. - 30% skillmoves for midfield and strikers, - 70% for defenders.
The AI takes ZERO longshots. That makes it waaay to easy to defend. The AI will always try to carry the ball into the box, even if they have a clear chance to take a good longshot. Way to predictable.
Transfers got better, but the AI still stacks strikers sometimes if their main striker is young (like Haaland). The AI should focus way more on developping their young guns.

But in general I like the game more the Fifa20.

I am sorry but this game is absolutely trash ..
Poor input lag
Terrible ball physics
At kick off all the players are like statues
Player movement is slow
Lighting poor
Keepers let in more than they save ,especially one on one
Poor camera modes
You can't tell me this game is good , other than presentation which is really good ,but once your on the pitch it loses everything a football game should be ...unrealistic skills and ai do skills when there isn't even an opposition player any where near ...The money paid into this game through pay to win must be millions and ea just push the same crap every year ...my god there isn't even ball shadows ....Come on EA ,my god give the community some respect instead of mugging everyone off every year ...But there is good point its saved me money ....cold day in hell would I buy this !

West Brom Issues:
Home kit has wrong collar colour. Blue in game, white in real life.
Away kit numbers and names are black In game when they should be red.
Liquidator song added for some premier league teams, but not west Brom?
No third kit (red/yellow)
Goalkeeper kit is pink in game, when in real life the Gk kits are mint and black.

General issues:
Why are premier league clubs lacking 3rd kits this year?
Why do some English lower league teams not have sponsors on their shirts, when they do in real life?

I downloaded the fifa21 ultimate edition on the release day

the buttons commands on my gamepad are all messed up even if i tried to configure them manually, the R button is not working at all, the L button jumps 2 tabs, the alternate, and classic preset settings are all inverted i have tried everything and its not working....even though it works perfectly on fifa20

i have tried calibration apps like XOutput and more but nothing works

does anyone else has this problem? i am using PC (Origin EA PlayPro)

Please help

I have to say feels better then fifa 20 but just played the trial and I have to say the one big massive disappointment is keepers can u please sort that out as it really irretating that 95 percent off shots are going in that's the only thing as off yet I think need changing

Can ea improve the calendar sim because it take so slow on PS4 and if they can also improve kick off mode and make new adjustments to mystery ball

Fifa 21 much much better then fifa 20 . I can wait to start play . game is much smoother , gameplay improvements. Good job . Well done

Its probably the first time in years that I won't be buying new Fifa. I just cant be bothered with cosmetic changes. Its like playing same game every year. Not only it doesnt get any better it actually gets worse. Yes you can play UT without spending any money, but its not so fun to be playing against 89+ teams month or two after release. I admit i also spend money on packs, but Bonkers economy in fifa now forcing you to spend couple of £k to be competitive, unless you are godlike skilled player. With so many games now going away from micro-transactions I feel like EA figured that since game makes millions there is no point to change it, especially that youtubers are helping to hype it up.
I used to love EA and their games, but recently they are falling way behind Activision, CD Project Red etc. Its seems like those companies want to release proper games made for gamers, not for kids wanting to impress other kids with their UT cards. FIFA became Instagram/ Facebook of game world. I think this is proper Rubbish behavior from EA. Peace out.
P.S. planning already to buy fifa 25 when it looks and plays a bit different and doesnt make me spend money play...

The gameplay is great and feels more fluid compared to fifa 20. Also can you add the face scans of William Saliba and Gabriel please!!!

FIFA 21 BETA FEEDBACK ; Pass Assistance is off QUITE OFTEN. The manager Career has barely been touched. No significant chnages. If possible interviews options should be added. Set pieces glitches are common where players freeze after freekicks and Penalties are awarded. Some key players dont look like real life players for example Neymar.

Wow ...finally the bots can give great passes, much more power and accuracy ..love the midfield the player touches are way smoother and the outside shots seem to go in easier than fifa 20. Much better job than fifa 20 for sure!

Fifa 21 will be a promising game this year. The new changes on the game modes add a new experience to the game. I really enjoyed it and can't wait for the full game.
