FIFA 21

Well lads. I'm a PES player, not really a FIFA fan but I see the PS5 version is €25 at the moment.

Is it worth picking up? I tried it with EA access and I actually thought it wasn't bad in coop or offline but 1v1 online is a mess.

I'd only be getting it to play pro clubs, coop with a friend of mine and play a bit offline

Feels like FIFA are heading in a downward spiral. 19, 20 and 21 all terrible.

Have 21 and haven't turned it on since I picked up Pro Evo. Pro Clubs has massive potential but EA don't really care about the game mode.

So I'd say probably not even worth the €25 tbh, wish I had the physical copy to trade in

I really thought there would be more chat about fifa 21 !?

Bambi on ice type turning , Handball given where no handball occurs, offside still a joke......

Ui is very messy, and the development addition is pointless, and finicky.

Disappointing game overall ...... but at least they have the players name on the jerseys again ........

Has anyone noticed some really dubious penalty decisions and resulting red cards since the last update?

Thats what i meant ....

I even paused the game after peno given for handball (?) , and checked it on the reply from different angles.... no handball....

Stupid little glitches.....
Like players magically running through the net after scoring.

I like the way the goals shake if you strike them with a shot is good.

I got a straight red for two consecutive fouls with the same player, the advantage icon was up and I wanted to take him out so slid the second time.

Was given a straight red and it seemed really strange as neither was a red card challenge.

Only one incident of it happening though.

the more i play 21, the less i like it tbh.

At the start of career mode You can use a "Takeover" and awards yourself up to £500mil !
Easy peasy!

I dont know, it just feels theres something missing/lacking/wrong about the game, just cant warm to it......

I don't know about anyone else but Im getting ridiculous score lines when I play online...

I only play seasons and I'm in div2 at the moment and every score line is outrageous. I'm talking results like 9-7, 8-4, 10-7, 9-9, 12-10...

Personally for me defending is non existent in the game, especially in the higher divisions where players are actually good, it just can't be done...at least not to any meaningful level.

When a person attacks it seems to be heavily scripted in your favor, for instance in a recent game a player was in my half passing it around trying to break through my defense, I counted five genuine tackles/challenges on my part and every time the ball just deflected back to one of his players or he glitched through me until finally he scored...

So basically close games are decided on one or two pieces of luck, keeper making a save or player hitting the post something like that.

Once again the "Save GAme" didnt actually save game !!.......

2 times... lost 5 games.....

what a PoS this game is.......

Anyone got a Pro Evo for sale ?

I downloaded FIFA 21 on Game Pass the other day to try it out. I haven't tried FIFA since maybe 2001 but with the forthcoming demise of PES I thought I'd give it a go.

Is the online play ever smooth? I played 4 matches last night and each one was stuttering and pausing for 2/3 seconds at a time every few moments.

PS5?

I would say 50% of my games on PS5 have the network quality indicator and a dodgy connection, while I never have problems on Xbox or PC. My internet is rock solid too.

I'm guessing playstation has a lot more players so you've a higher chance of getting matched against someone on a crap connection.
