![]() ![]() Last year, I mentioned that the amount of coins given away felt generous, and I could build a decent team. Of course, Ultimate Team is back – it’s EA’s biggest money spinner, after all. Generally, things are the same where players can build their teams by purchasing packs through FUT coins or the premium FIFA Points currency or engage in the transfer market to buy players directly. With eyes turning to the next generation, FIFA 21 on current gen consoles looks nigh on identical to FIFA 20. Sure, the menus are revamped but the gameplay itself looks the same and you would be hard pressed to notice a difference if it weren’t for the few technical changes, and the fact you have more customisation options for your stadium in Ultimate Team. ![]() Then again, you could argue EA have made the game ultra-realistic following some of the scores from the 2020/21 season so far. It was an issue that was raised for FIFA 20 and it hasn’t been resolved for FIFA 21, leading to high scoring matches where defending just doesn’t feel great. It means that defending basically turns into running at the opposing player and hoping you make contact with the ball to take it from them. Defending still feels lacklustre, as almost any kind of contact tackle it almost ends up being a foul followed by a card. There are areas of improvement still required. Passing generally feels much more direct and player animations come across as more realistic, though there are still occasions where things go a bit weird as players fall over. Teammates are slightly smarter with their off the ball runs, and the action feels smoother and more natural. When it comes to the on the pitch action there is some improvement to the way players move and dribble with the ball. ![]()
