Review: FIFA 21 makes no major strides in its transition year

FIFA 21’s numerous small improvements make it the best in the series by default, but compared to recent entries in the series it’s easily the least revolutionary, with no major new modes or features to speak of.

  • Still absolutely crammed with game modes for all tastes
  • Licensing and TV-style presentation remain second to none
  • New right stick through balls are interesting
  • Career mode gets a few much-needed new features
  • It’s definitely a quiet year, with no big additions
