Improved Passing Mechanics also have to be mentioned. While counter-attacks are still very effective, lending itself towards a park the bus style meta, players have a number of options in attack, from a more possession-based passing style to more of a wing play style utilising crosses, to skilling thanks to improved skill move chaining and agile dribbling. It’s fair to say, FIFA 21 has a far more balanced meta than previous editions. Improved AI Attacking Movement & Creative Runs.Far More Realistic and Natural Collisions.

Considering the struggles that 2020 has brought, there have been a number of really positive changes in FIFA 21, predominantly in: While a few issues are apparent, such as goalkeeper mechanics being rather inconsistent, for the most part, the gameplay feels faster, more responsive and more dynamic than other FIFA titles from previous years.įrom our experience playing over the last couple of weeks, the gameplay is certainly a step up on FIFA 20 and FIFA 19. Gameplay in FIFA has been a major point of contention over previous years, with FIFA 19’s infamous La Croqueta and El Tornado spam, to FIFA 20’s heavy park the bus style, slow gameplay that bored players into a deep sleep.įIFA 21 however is a definite step in the right direction on the football pitch. Gameplay - The Most Balanced Experience In Years - 8/10
