It seems to be some kind a update which is done secretely. This morning my defenders was able to stop tricky moves and even sometime my defender outrane the strikerwhich was consider as a miracle from my side. Also looks like more goals are possible outside the penalty area. We will see, i didnt get better for 24 hours to have skills to stop tricky moves, probably the game do it for me.
What the f*** have you done FIFA??
Thanks to your secretly update, now is the FIFA 20 bug back in FIFA 21.. that players getting really tired, not bc the way I play, but bc of you stupid update. Fix it !!!!!!!!
FIFA 21 is a complete pile of crap. There is literally nothing good about this poor excuse for a game. EA don’t care about their customers, or delivering a quality product, their only goal is lining their pockets.
The ‘ultimate’ mode is a complete joke. It supposedly replicates the best players in the world…hahaha. It’s just 90 mins of the AI running around using the trick stick. Absolutely pathetic gameplay. What is realistic about a player doing step-overs in circles all the way up the pitch? Nothing, that’s what.
This game gets less and less realistic every year, and it’s beyond the joke now. The ‘best players’ that this new style is modelled on aren’t good, and don’t know anything about football. It’s just sweaty gameplay and totally sucks ass.
My wish for FIFA 22? Don’t make it. Your product isn’t worth £7.99, never mind £79.99 you thieving c***s!
I couldn’t agree more the worst fifa I’ve played it’s just so slow like the players are playing on ice what a waste of money and If that’s the best its gonna get I wont be wasting my money now more fifa have got really sloppy and lazy in the making of this game its embarrassing and tbh I’m really pissed off
I WILL NEVER BE BUYING ANOTHER FIFA AGAIN. This game is an utter waste of money, constant bugs and glitches and the ratings are pointless. Don’t waste your money on FIFA anymore it’s just a slight tweak every year I’ll be moving to pro evo and I’ll go back to Fifa 16
Money grabbers that’s all ea are.
So when you play squad battles last 10 min you can’t get any points, there is no progress but they can take 1 game out of players contract and they count Red cards….wooow
I find it so annoying that your goal keeper cannot release the ball during a goal kick but the opponent can have a player run forward and mark your defender for a possible pass to him before the keeper kicks. Its almost like an intentional freeze on your keeper
The balls collection is not updated. The yellow and the new Nike Flight balls are still not available. Also, please bring back Martin Tyler and Alan Smith, that Derek Rae and Lee Dixon commentary is so so boring.
Fifa 21is biggest trash game ever made the don’t deserve to make a Fifa again the users score is so bad 0.8 the need to go and close there doors
the game is brilliant BUT BRING BACK MARTIN TYLER AND ALAN SMITH FOR GOODNESS SAKE THE NEW COMMENTATORS ARE NOWHERE NEAR AS GOOD thanks
I have been playing fifa since 2010 and this one I hate it, has so many bugs and thing that got me furious. The player change is bad, the deep pass is just terrible, please correct this mistake, this game is not good
I play career mode, and I’m so freaking angry rn. They are giving pens for like nothing, I kicked a player a little bit and it was pen, and the player even didn’t move away…. and when I slaughtering players they don’t give pens, funny how bad they made this game. I’m a FIFA lover, but if they don’t stop this, then I will try for 1 time in my life to buy PES. I only have played that game once I my life, and it was 2005 PES.
You have to do something about rivals self-relegation. It has made that mode unplayable
I hate that bug. I move with my player -in player mode- with ball without sprinting and stamina is going so low as if he ran 10Km
Please please can you fix the loan bug. It is impossible to loan player in.
Its absolute rubbish this game Fifa 21. Its so unrealistic sometimes actually most of the time is just ridiculous. Defenders freeze about 3 or 4 meters away from the striker, even Messi in a real life probably wouldnt be able to do it. To get the ball from the striker its so hard and especially if he start to make trick moves its impossible and if you touched during the trick moves in a penalty box is a penalty. None existing defending, every through ball is a 90 % chance for goal its unstoppable. And my lovely one when you hit the bar all door is shaking just like there is a hurricane on the pitch. Start from the center and one player goes through whole team just like they are 5 year old kids and boom goal. Is it possible in Fifa 22 the goals to be normally scored with the goalkeeper, just start some “considered very hard” tricky moves and there you go he manage to go through the whole team. Guys from EA you will understand the result of this crappy game, that was my last money spend for you. Try to hire people who understand this game (not computers guys only) and to take a look at the final product and to tell you this is ridiculous this is good this can be done in real football and etc.
Sorry for spaming – guys from EA take a look at the statistics every player how much time spend playing, how many quitted games have (as a percentage of all games) and you will see in numbers the joy which brings this game. In Fifa 19 i played with hours 3-4 or more. And barely quit the game, in this crap 21 after 30-40 min of playing and the game is out of the PS just dont have such a strong nerves to play more.
Ok, here is my rant about Fifa 21.
I’ve always been a fan of Fifa and EA could count on my money when it came to buying the next release. Every new version had their own specificities, like overpowered headers or overpowered la croqueta.
I think Fifa 21 is the last one and I’ll go back to playing Fifa 20. Why?
EA used to have an intention to make their games realistic. Not to the full extent of course, they needed to remain enjoyable and spectacular as well. “It’s in the game”. I get it. But what happened in Fifa 21 is ridiculous.
Players act like figure skaters, especially defenders.
Every game has to have many goals, defending hardly exists. In the past if you had decent dribbling skills you could go well with a few skill moves each game. Don’t get me wrong I don’t mind learning new skill moves, I’ve done that with every new game. But the game so far have looked fairly realistic. That’s over. The game turned into, how somebody put it, a goal scoring bonanza. All that matters is that. Pure arcade. Pathetic.
I’d really welcome if EA just used one of the older game engines and people could choose from a more realistic yet spectacular one and a pure arcade mode. Whatever suits you best. Then EA could sustain those engines and generate their revenues through yearly team updates, skins and what have you. Not to mention FUT…
I’d gladly pay for an update where the teams have the most recent players in their forms etc whilst keeping an old and proven game engine that provides the best experience for me. Hate the EA decides for me what I want.
What annoys me is that in player career modes, players are played out of position. I had a career at Real Madrid, and Ferland Mendy was playing at CB. My current career, Virgil Van Dijk and David Alaba are being played in CM. It is affecting our teams performance and it is ruining my experience. I wish they resolved this issue but they never fix career mode.
Make no mistake – Electronic Arts breaks American federal law, every day, overtly. It doesn’t take a lawyer to understand this – look up the definition of child gambling, it’s an open and shut case. Why has EA not been banned from doing business in the U.S. despite overtly breaking this law? Because none of us have the finances to actually take them to court, they can just extend the case and make it so expensive that you have no other choice but to drop it – the people who do have the finances have better things to do. Trust me, EA knows this is the case and it’s why they will continue to break the law. Do not expect anything else from them. To you, EA, I wrote this message in hopes of one thing – that someone, anyone in your company reads this message and is forced to look themselves in the mirror – you are abusing your power, and the main victims are adolescent children. Shame on this company, I wish Harvard paid more attention to how their alumni behave.
This game is ass is too easy for pro players. Is like the players just move in their own. It was har enough for evryone now is even harder bc its too easy for good fifa players
I like how smooth the gameplay is but you have to fix Pro career mode. I scored 2 goals and my shots to goals percentage is at 0%. I also had 3 assists in the same game. My average match rating is at 4.00. This was also my first game of the season. Please fix this ASAP.
About FUT:
For the first time after years and years I’m finding intersting and competitive SBC, Rooney and Jones my favourite one.
I like the future stars mission and cards.
You have to leave the possibility to the costumer to grow up his team even if he can’t spend money for packs or he is not a pro. Remember that is a game. Continue in this way, you are doing well and I’m sure you can do even better.
About the gameplay:
Is ridicoulus that you can shoot only if there is not a defender close to you, the ball NEVER pass close to a defender, is not what happen in the reality.
Cheers.
Andrea
FUT player since 2014
This is the most glitchy fifa I’ve played to date, I don’t play online like most fifa players, and I have noticed how you as a company are more interested in making more money from players rather than providing loyal fifa fans with a game that is actually worth the money.
Manager mode and be a pro are extremely poor. Be a pro in particular. You build your pro, get a good rating etc when playing but if you’re substituted your rating drops to 4.0, which is just stupid. So you score a hat trick and you’re sitting at a 10 rating, get subbed and it erases everything, you then lose your starting spot, and spend most of the season simulating games. How is this value for money? Come on…. you guys really need to look at your employees and how they’re programming this game. Second thing is the games defending. Computer controlled defenders dont press the ball, run behind an attacking player instead of blocking his route to goal, they also part like the Red Sea and are weak in the challenge. Football is a physical game, aggression and contact is expected in the challenge whether it’s a standing tackle, aerial duel or sliding challenge. Stop using the example idiots like Neymar etc set by rolling around after being pushed abit. Sort it out please, this game promised so much but delivered nothing new or better. I’m really disappointed with this game, and seriously considering going to PES for the first time.
Cmon bud ur full of s*** and u know it. This is the clearest fifa I’ve played in my 75 years of existence, u don’t know s*** about their gameplay. Stellar graphics, most innovative masterpiece I’ve played. I mean call EA DaVinci because this s*** is a masterpiece. Ur tiny brain can’t fathom this game’s brilliance.
Noodle Arm Youth Academy Players – starting year 2 or 3 almost all new players have the arms of a 90lb 5th grader but the rest of their body is normal. Really they just look ridiculous on the field. There still seems to be an issue with youth players with an undershirt kit assigned to wear short sleeves in the winter. If you could fix both in an update that would be great.
Youth Academy Idea for Fifa 22 – Instead of a scout going and finding random players have a recruiting setup similar to NCAA Football 14 where each country gets a new batch of players each year and you recruit them during the season to sign with your club. Each club would have coach and prestige ratings, league ratings etc that play into what type of players they can go after instead of just a scout bringing back random guys based on their rating. The bigger countries would obviously have more players to pick from and the smaller countries wouldn’t. Just some thoughts. Thanks!
My internet is good. My record is ruined because some of the times, I am being disconnected in Squad Battles, even though I won. If it wasn’t for that disconnection issue after a match in Squad Battle, I would have a good win-loss record. But nope, your server is trash and needs improvement. Mind you again that my internet is not slow. It is not the ISP’s fault. Its your server. It needs to be fixed, or have a solution for the Squad Battles that when you get disconnected, it will not result to an automatic loss on our end. I am absolutely disappointed. I just want to enjoy the game. If you truly are reading this, please fix your server. I am from an Asian country that you might consider to have low pool of FIFA players, but please fix your server so that it will be playable across every country. Gameplay is good, but your server is one of the worst, given that you are a big company.
Ive been playing fifa for 6+ years but the AI defenders have never even attempted a tackle. For the game to be realistic, please let them also make tackles.
Dear EA,
How about you at least pretend to care about the seasons part of the game? I won’t even start complaining about the game itself, which is worse and worse every year. It feels that you actually want to make it worse and you simply laugh at the people (including me) who spend money on in over and over again. I really think that this was the last FIFA I bought for some time. Maybe I should try PES. I’ve heard that they actually give a s*** about their players.
I play FIFA since FIFA 11. It is a nice game but, like any other game, it needs improvements.
There are some things in this FIFA 21 that really need to be changed in order to make it more realistic (more like a simulator, not an arcade game > please, don’t do that).
I will put some general comments that I remember now, which can help to make this game better:
>GAMEPLAY
– When playing against CPU, if they start to pass the ball in the last third of the field, a lot of times the midfielders just watch them doing it, without helping the defenders. It doesn’t make any sense and it’s very unrealistic.
– The storyteller screams goal without enthusiasm (probably because the narration is from the penalty shootout).
– Goal scored at 55min and storyteller saying “last-minute goal”.
>CAREER MODE
– A player has started the season in my team. He scored many goals. He was loaned, called back shortly before, and all his stats had disappeared as if he had just arrived in the team.
– Interviews after a title with everyday questions.
– News on the newsfeed after a title not highlighting the title (as if it was a normal match).
– Interview saying that the players are tired (and the last match was 3 weeks before)
– Team in the first position on the league, not losing any game, and reporters asking how the team feels after a defeat.
– Sometimes, there is no announcement about when a player is going to retire. A lot of times, players with 33 years old retire and they don’t even warn us.
– There should be a system in which the players, after being loaned to a certain team, give the preference to return to this team (even without the release clause).
– Sometimes the coach’s outfit is the same as the players’ outfit.
– Statistics from previous seasons should be available (such as the league table, the squad, goals and assists, etc.).
– There should be an easy way to check previous matches against the teams you have played before.
There are a few notes I have thought of. I would really appreciate some response.
Thanks.
Do you guys even read the comments how do you feel about people complaining about your game like this? Do you even care about how the people feel about this game? You guys need to start over because the truth is you guys have not gotten it right for a very long time most times i don’t even understand the line of thought like this is an instance : how can you be winning a match get logged out and still get a loss atleast just have the person play that same match again not give the person winning the loss and the worst part is the problem that would log the person out is from your servers come on you can’t keep doing this to us we pay money for this we work and get money and pay for this it’s not fair i can understand the workload but we all have our parts to play ea and i would just say i am very disappointed. Skill moves dont work passes are terrible and unrealistic hell you can rarely even score from a corner then rewards are so bad.
Look ea this game is really bad and if there were other games on the market at the same level alot of us would not be playing this and i mean no disrespect the passes don’t work as they should a clear passing lane and the pass gets overhit the gameplay is so boring like fifa 20 as all the skill moves have been botched only if you have a neymar mbappe or inform ronaldo. The game was so fun in the beginning and you guys fumbled it badly i wont lie passes need recalibration open easy passes are overhit and its the weird through balls that aren’t supposed to go through that glitch your defenders you really need to start all over with the passing and skill moves as casual players cannot even do skill moves anymore the rainbow flick is destroyed, elastico is destroyed, nothing works!! Earlier on the game was so fun. This is something that makes this game so bad in comparison to other games things like skill moved and good normal passing creates a skill gap you remove or butcher those things and essentially there’s no skill gap. This wouldn’t be the same case in other games. I am begging you to fix the passing and skill moves i mean no disrespect i know the previous year was bad but you guys had something here and i dont know how you guys messed it up so bad its as boring and lame as fifa 20 please fix this
Hey!
Fifa 21 is really really bad compared to 20.
1) very difficult to defend with L1 key, players move very slowly
2)The ball is too fast, through passes, through air passes, we have very fast control difficulties
3)The players move as if they are playing on the ice rink The maneuver is too weak
@FIFPlay
fix your broken game…
how on earth can you play competitively when your game is a piece of crap.
I’m winning my game of FUT champs, the other guy pauses the game, my game decides to crash but when I get the lose.
You have no vision on making this game fun for the people. You money hungry pieces of crap.
Trash game period. Fifa has downgraded so much that any attacker that has over 90 pace is just unstoppable. Game does not take actual skill to play anymore you just hit that triangle and the ball teleports to the enemys attacker who somehow got to your penalty box in the space of a heartbeat. And dont you get me started on that L2 button. Players now dont have to judge your players movements or predict them they just hold that L2 button and suddenly a brick wall has appeared in front of your player and you can’t ever seem to bypass it.
EA for love of the god fix the Referee, i dont think defenders can make “screen” in the game its not basketball. Moreover Varane is not a god, he is the worst defender. Fix your bugs or Fifa will be forgotten in the future and make a fair matches in fut champ ( gold rare team vs a team full of legends and toty players )
.worst fifa ever bro the center backs keep breaking the offside line for no s***ty reason.i really regret buying the game 2020 was a bit better at least the defenders really stick to their positions.
.Varane can catch up with fast players thats a cap we all know he is the worst defender and he is not that good.
.bugs must be fixed
.The GK is the worst thing in this game must be fixed.
fifa in future will be cap and no one will even buy it.
Full of bugs.
Every year it gets worse. I’ve been playing since 2014, and this year was the last time I bought it, unless I see gameplay to at least tries to become a football simulation.
I do not have the power, or will to enlist everything here, but I will mention just two.
1. Superman players who pass behind their back (180 degrees) all the time.
2. Stupid AI Defenders that do not follow the AI superman attackers.
fifa 21 is the worst fifa i ever played, the content is good but the gameplay is terrible so many penalties against me where was no foul and penalties from a foul from outside of the box, so many dissconnects and a lot of nerves, the script is real. THIS GAME IS S***
I didn’t want to buy fifa 21 eventually I bought it and now I regret it. I will never buy fifa again. Switching to PES. EA are the worst developers yet. Why not give our money back and fix the game like cyberpunk did?
The latest update has made the game unplayable. Fouls are no longer counted, nor penalties.
Won’t buy FIFA again until you fix the scripting. In fact you can’t even play a skillful/tiki-taka game unless you know every bit of script. Ultimate Team is toxic and totally not enjoyable.
On the other side, career mode improved slightly and is actually playable, but Legendary difficulty is out of question.
FIFA 19-21 are all trash
Dear whom it may concern,
I don’t understand why you can get banned if you buy coins to buy players. This does not make any sense, why have an option for this in the first place if you can get banned. Lastly, whenever i am doing my fut champs and i am winning it keeps freezing and shutting me out the game can you do a new update to correct this inconvenience.
Kind regards
Nadia
Fifa 21 is absolute garbage.
I have players like Mbappe, Ronaldo, Rooney (EoE) and they can’t score a goal because of the dropback bulls*** meta. I have uninstalled the game for the 3rd and final time. I will not be picking up a new version until EA loses the ability to implement DDA (scripting) and the micro-transactions.
This is by far the WORST version of FIFA I have ever played in over 10 years.
Unresponsive controls, terrible servers, blatant scripting, and just s***e modes. Taking away seasons from online, making objectives more rivals focused, it’s all trash. F*** FIFA.
In career mode, I have clearly given my scouts instructions for searching but it insists I haven’t. As a result, I’m having to do all my own scouting!!
Why dose every player weather there 56-98 rating can keep up with a fast players like messi son vardy and the lies but real life only a few players in the world can do this its supposed to be realistic ain’t it f***ing bulls*** I see it as pointless having good players if the entire f***ing worlds players can keep up or out pace them and further more you play a team with an 64 rating and 44 chemistry soon as you go to harder difficulty they play like there 100 on both clearly there stats should remind the same regardless of what level of difficulty it’s on if it remains like this I’ll just go back to pes
This Fifa has been ruined. After countless number of time and money I have invested in to this game.
They decide to “ patch” skills but what they really have done was make them pretty much uncontrollable once you Perform one.
Game play just feels slower and slower.
Please explain to me how my mbappe toty can’t flick a ball up and control it?
Plus my Neymar won’t perform the skills he usually does.
Awful game and I can assure you any complaints or anyone involved in to making these changes either do not play Fifa or are in fact absolutely terrible at the game.
People like this should simply not own a console or simply get a life
Mate what gets me is how all the players in the game can keep up with fast players when in real life that’s just never going to happen messi being out paced and out ran its f***ing mentle
On player career mode the squad hub rating system is broken I’ve scored 18 goals and 12 assists in 12 games and my rating average is 4.8 ? But when I compete matches my rating is always high ? I don’t understand why it’s like this and it effects my targets as it says I’m below rating target which makes no sense pls fix
100 percent the point I was going to make. It’s annoying and an easy fix…
F*** FIFA 21 I have not seen ONE f***ing cross from the computer (I play legendary). They only play with the ball at their feet.
2: Why does the computer CB just running back for no reason and break the offside line?
3: I can see my coach in Carrer Mode dress like a football player.
4: Why is there always penalty, if you touch the opponents a little bit, they give penalty???????? FIFA 21 is much more worse at the other FIFAs at this point. S**t as game.
Adding Copa Libertadores was great, really great! Not being able to manage any teams in Career Mode outside Argentina,Brazil or Mexico… lazy. You’ve literally already added them to the game, where are the rest of the leagues in South America?
Also. Viewable stats in Career mode for all players/leagues/ cup competitions adds realistic scouting or finding new talent(for example managing a team in Spain, seeing who the top goalscorer of the PL is). Stats from previous seasons need to be viewable. If I scored 20 goals with my striker last season I should be able to still see that next season not reset to 0(same with all stats). Same should be with transfers, if I sign someone for 5m and then 3 seasons later sell him for profit/loss I should be able to check my transfer history from previous seasons, so I can see profit/loss. These seem like basic mechanics.

This is the worst fifa ever. gameplay. matchmaking. everything.
Just in career mode , manager is wearing soccer gear on the sideline. A bit weird. You dress the manager the way you want to that’s the way it should stay . Commentary is so reputative, absolutely no thought has gone into it and is the same every year , so tired of it!!.. I like to hear a bit more about individual players ad history about the clubs and more dialogue during gameplay not the same thing every time the score is 5-3 or a goal is scored. It’s awful!!
I’ve been Loyal since the early days. Until now, how is it that I still spend $600 on this game, but I can’t get the good pack. I grind it out week by week but get your s**t cards. Something has to be done with your system. If someone ever decides to spend more than regular game price on this game, then they deserve the players. Last time I ever buy a game from you guys. Crazy how I even decided to spend $600 on this game for nothing! I hope others leave, don’t appreciate the customers that DO PAY!
I’ve had it! I’m sure some have too, they just have too much invested! I’ve spent $600. Now recently another bill, to not get a walkout! Wth is wrong with your system fifa? What do I have to do? I grind it out, pay, so what now? Do I have to be famous to get the good cards? Fifa is rigged! Last time I buy from you again, I hope many follow. I’m tired of it!
Theres some real weird logic going on with the transfers.. some players seems to have a non negotiable price, selling.. This is bugging alot of players and a petition is made with already thousands of signature for the game to be banned.. This logic needs to be fixed asap
Strikers belonging to other clubs gets transfered to easily on career mode. You guys needs to fix this asap or ppl will abandon this game!!!!!!!!
I will no longer be buying any Fifa products until you fix your glitches. That includes some players ability to play with the Soccer Aid team online. Figure it out
Hi EA I played FUT champs this weekend and Achieved gold 2…
I was rewarded with a normal player pick instead of red player picks…
This made me extremely agitated as I worked extremely hard to gain gold players. I don’t even know if I got the packs from weekend league.
Please fix this problem.
