Overall: Don't Buy Fifa 21. I came from Fifa 19 and 20 on Playstation. I have absolutely no idea how to play this game on PS5. The defensive AI is retarded. Ball goes right in front of their feet and they make 0 effort to get it. No way they contain any run. I've had the goalie come out of his box for no reason on a long through ball, only to retreat back to the box (a mere ft from the gaining possession), just in time for the striker to come in and get an easy goal. *Way* too easy for through balls and air through balls to break the defense. In one online match, someone scored 17 goals off 25 shots on me and I've been playing fifa for 20 years. Way too many own goals so far. Offsides I swear to god is broken, way different than 19 or 20 atleast. Brazil still isn't updated and Juventus is called Piemonti something(?). The view of pitch has been changed, so when the ball is in the corner of the field - it's even more difficult to see than it was in previous years. Passing is very inconsistent. Every so often, I get a through ball that gets booted about 300ft too long for some reason. Sometimes it's hard to get any strength on a pass at all, even when pressing R2. Fouls are either nonexistent or extremely ticky tacky, depending on what the game is feeling like. I've got my leg sweeped just outside the box on a multitude of occasions, and no foul or continuation. Clearly a foul. The online experience only works in "default", which means people can nerf their config and setup. Impossible to get a game with a 4 star or lower opponent, even when selecting "restrictive", and I've never been able to match a "manual" opponent on default settings which makes me think people are nerfing their configs. I hope this is the beta version, because this game needs a lot of improving at time of release. It is basically a carbon copy of Fifa 20 in terms of menu and career mode, so if you've played career in previous years, this is just a faster loading version with worse AI and marginally better animations. I haven't played Ultimate Team yet, might try it, but seems whack to play with Pele and Messi same time. I love Fifa. But not this Fifa. This game better get some development updates because right now it blows, hard. Honestly this might be the worst Fifa I've ever played, and I can honestly say I've never said that about a Fifa, ever.
