FIFA 21 is a really fun game for football (soccer) fans. Like any game, there are pros and cons, so I will include some in case you have yet to buy the game. For me, the game mode that I play the most is FUT (ultimate team), so most of what I say has to do with this game mode.
Pros: -In-game player movements improved compared to FIFA 20. It is a bit easier to control players in the defensive end and catch up to your opponent. Slide tackles are more effective.
- They are constantly updating the game to fix glitches, add new items, etc.
- One of the biggest pros: there are a lot more options in ultimate team.
- In previous years, in FUT, you could only play rivals and squad bottles by yourself, but they added a new co-ops feature where you can buddy up with a friend to play these game modes.
- You can customize your very own stadium. Goal celebrations (pyro, confetti, etc), crowd chants, pitch patterns, etc. Customize practically every aspect of your stadum. I really like this new addition because it is more visually pleasing. You can change the colors of the seats, goal, tifos, etc. They have continued to add new features to customize your stadium.
- FIFA 21 has been releasing a lot more objectives to complete for those that want to do them. There are a lot more options for additional rewards, but you of course have to work for them if you want them. They added new "friendly game" challenges to complete for rewards (reward is a special card/player). With that being said, I am more intrigued to stay playing the game with these new challenges / objectives.
-There are a lot of things I can continue to praise, but this will probably go on way too long so I'll stop right here.
Cons: - The game continues to have some glitches. There have been quite a few times where the servers have been down without prior notice. I have seen many people complain about that already. However, the creators do a great job listening to feedback and try to correct the issues as quick as possible.
- It is still not possible to cross play. That is, you still can't play against friends that play this exact game on a different console. I want to be able to play this game against friends that have a different console than me. I have heard that they plan on making the game cross play so you can play against players with a different console as you, which is a positive. They have yet to determine when that will be available, but I will be ecstatic when that happens. But for now, Xbox players play against Xbox and PlayStation players play against PlayStation.
Overall, it is a great game. I'm sure you'll find yourself playing the game for hours with all the different game modes they have available.
