We review all the news known so far about FIFA 21. FUT, career mode, gameplay and Volta are renewed for another year.
FIFA 21 has starred in a week full of news around his figure. EA Sports has emphasized what we can expect from its three great game modes in this year’s edition, which is marked by being the first to debut on PS5 and Xbox Series X.
Therefore, we will review the main keys of this battery of information along with our impressions. See what’s to come in Electronic Arts’ next step forward in virtual football.
Gameplay: the quest to be more intuitive and realistic
The main pillars on which FIFA 21 stands in playable terms are improvements in defense and attack. Artificial intelligence has been refined so that players can play their role with greater precision. For example, if we go through the band in full counterattack, the center forward will know that he will have to accompany us to open a gap and receive the pass. On the other hand, the defense will show improvements in anticipation; They will know how to read what to do, and their success will come from how high their values are. In addition, an improvement in the collision system is expected that will eliminate any hint of conflict between the physics (such as when they do not know how to react when falling one on top of the other), among other corrections and additions.

Ultimate Team: FUT Coop and 100 icons
FIFA 21 will allow you to play Ultimate Team cooperatively. You can join forces with another friend to play dual matches in Divisions Rivals and Squad Battles. By doing so in this mode you will receive exclusive bonuses that carry over to your solo experience. This mode can be deactivated from the menu, so you can continue facing a single player, as always. The study wanted to multiply the rewards catalog through FUT Events, group events with which to join forces within the community. The new icons include the incorporation of legends of our football such as Fernando Torres or Xavi Hernández; the eleven chosen will make the title add a total of 100 icons in the same delivery. It is worth highlighting the new management of the club, in which we will no longer have to deal with the physical condition of the players: everyone will start the matches 100%. Related training cards are eliminated and injury cards are simplified to just two variants. Lastly, the FUT Stadium will be the first moldable stadium at your discretion. As you progress through the game, the possibilities will grow: create your identity from the stands.

Volta: soccer is breathed in the streets
After his debut in FIFA 20, Volta returns to fill those holes left by his first appearance. This year we can join up with other friends and play for the entire multiplayer offer. If you prefer to do it together with the AI or strangers via matchmaking, too. It is up to you to choose how you want to grow your player, which will see changes in the progress system. Now we can grow your stats faster. A scoring system will be used that will respond to our performance in each match. If we have played well, it will go up; if not, it will go down. Street football lives not only on the ball, but with the style in which you play. The aesthetic possibilities have been expanded with new sponsors and models, including the option of being able to wear the shirt of an official club. Of course, they can only be unlocked by completing certain events.

Career mode: manage your club
Sometimes forgotten, career mode is always the choice for those who want to run a club without having to deal with online multiplayer. This year the management possibilities have been enhanced, from the renewal of training sessions to the way in which to develop future stars. Now we can do controllable group sessions, away from the already known activities. On the other hand, if we want a player to transform their position or focus on certain traits, we can. A new value has been added that will coexist with energy: brilliance, which acts as a physical state. No matter how much energy you have, if you are not in shape you will not perform properly. That’s where pre-game preparation comes into play. Finally, the simulation of the matches has been transformed to have greater control of what arises on the pitch, including the possibility of being able to control our team at any time. Do you want to risk a foul? Take command and play like a normal game; If you want to return to the panel later, you can. It’s up to you to choose how you want to experience what FIFA 21 has to offer in its entirety.
