Realism has been pushed to the side in favour of arcade-like fun and FIFA 21 is better for it. Both sides have these advantages at their disposal, advantages which often contribute to some high scoring games. In tandem these improvements to the gameplay when in possession of the ball make it easier than ever to score, and that's okay. The new 'creative runs' mechanic, which sees an AI-controlled player on your own team make a run in the direction the right stick is flicked, further contributes to attacking momentum. The agile dribbling system - the effectiveness of which is determined by each player's ball control and dribbling stats - makes possession of the ball feel snappier and more responsive in the middle of the park. Pacy players are rapid without feeling overpowered and the AI has been tweaked to feel more realistic both in attack and defence. In a word, the gameplay clicks so much better than it previously has. Still, there are enough new bells and whistles to keep FIFA fans sated for the duration of the coming year.
Fifa 21 review series#
In this regard FIFA 21 is very much a swan song for the current gen, with the franchise likely holding out for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S before sweeping visual adjustments are made. Funnily enough, however, FIFA 21 feels more refreshed than the series has in years despite the disappointing lack of graphical improvement.
With the next generation of consoles releasing imminently, EA could be forgiven for holding off on massive changes until they have superior hardware to work with and, for the most part, they have. Innovation in FIFA titles has dragged to a near-standstill in recent years.
