So, FIFA 21 doesn’t have any ground-breaking new modes or revolutionary gameplay innovations, but it doesn’t need them to impress. The plentiful tweaks to gameplay and AI, along with worthwhile new features spread across all primary modes, accumulate to make FIFA 21 a must-have for football fans. And if they’re planning on picking up a next-gen console in the near-future, there’s possibly even more for them to look forward to.

It is entertaining but not very unique Football game. We anticipate more news with new platforms.

It’s beautiful and a lot of action for all sports lovers out there. As I’ve mentioned in the beginning of this review, FIFA 2021 is a true testament to every fan of the game in the world—and that’s hugely important for a sport well beloved.

In conclusion, we cannot say that FIFA 21 brought the changes we expected, especially since last year we wrote that we are looking forward to its arrival in the new generation.

FIFA 21 is an exercise of refinement, not evolution. The newest installment highlights the downsides of annualization, but also highlights that EA is listening to fans. FIFA 21 doesn't make a million changes and improvements from FIFA 20, but the changes and improvements it does make go a long way in enhancing the experience.

The Volta and Career modes are fun and engrossing for a time, but they don't add much substance for players familiar with last year's installment

FIFA 21 is a very continuist game, and we will have to check what EA Sports can achieve in the next-generation hardware. This entry adds a few little changes to the excellent formula we have seen in the last few years, but it is more of the same. Just as Real Madrid's roster this season.

FIFA 21 offers a wealth of content and authenticity, and the new gameplay tweaks make a positive difference. However, this year's game is uncharacteristically bogged down by AI issues and technical hiccups.

Any new ideas have clearly been held back for when the new consoles are actually obtainable by the masses, but FIFA leaves the Xbox One and PS4 in a pretty good place — and with some extra pace — in 2020/21, still with plenty of scope to go from good to great next-generation.

Apart from lacking in innovation, FIFA 21 still is a football game that could keep you be engaged for hundreds of hours just like its predecessors do.

Enough has been done to keep players interested until the next-gen consoles arrive, but unless you’ve skipped the last couple releases, there’s nothing that screams must-buy this year.

Everything that is delivered in this year’s release is a decent offering for those looking to essentially make the ‘upgrade’ from FIFA 20. A updated roster, with new features and some contextual upgrades applied makes FIFA 21, a valuable Football title for 2020.

FIFA 21 is just kind of there. It's not bad, but don't expect any major changes from the last installment.

FIFA 21 is a game I can recommend for you if you've been playing the series for a long time. But if you're not very familiar with the FIFA series and your new star is starting to match football games, I'm going to have to suggest cheaper games for you. Because with its high price, you only have to enter this game sold for "FIFA fans" without very high expectations, which is difficult at the current price. Fifa 21 promises you a pleasant long journey if football is an important part of your life. If you're thinking of playing FUT and moving faster, buy top versions of the game.

The big step forward remains missing but Fans of FIFA Ultimate Team will find a lot to love in this game. If you have waited for relevant new gameplay features, in Volta or the carreer mode, you should stick with the last two games.

All in all, FIFA 21 is a year of small improvements with much to enjoy, but little to shout about.

FIFA 21 fixes some on-pitch issues, though it stops short of giving the series the meaningful overhaul it needs.

Probably the most innovative FIFA in years, that leaves the door open for further improvement in the next gen – even if the grim shadow of Ultimate Team is never likely to leave.

FIFA 21 closes out a mixed generation with some key gameplay improvements, making for the fastest, most enjoyable experience in FIFA 15. Its modes are more mixed, with career mode being a particular sore point. Ultimately, FIFA 21 may not be the comprehensive update everyone wants, but it's enough to generate some positive momentum heading into the new console generation.

FIFA 21 is about what you’d expect from a new FIFA release. Some quality of life improvements over the previous title though nothing that really signifies a leap in class from past games. That being said, the quality in the FIFA series is fairly high, giving EA Sports a nice cushion to fall back on every year. FUT maintains the same inherent issues as it did last year, despite some shiny new features. FIFA 21 is another serviceable, yet standard entry in EA Sports’ soccer/football simulation series.
