But if you were to ask me what makes the latest instalment different from last year’s FIFA 20, I’d just shrug and tell you the crossing is better. It’s a brilliant game, and it wouldn’t be this popular if it wasn’t. It’s realistic yet puts a huge emphasis on pace and attacking play, it comes with a range of difficulty options and lots of different game modes, and also runs incredibly smoothly.

And you order the same food because it’s your favourite, and it comes and it’s nice and then it’s gone. It’s not food, after all, just a picture of one. It looks nice enough, but it’s missing the smells, the textures, the warmth and the emotion. As far as the visuals go, it looks great, with hundreds of lifelike player captures, but it also looks stale, with everything bar Romelu Lukaku’s hairline the same as last year.įIFA 21 feels like a picture of food on a restaurant menu. In FIFA 21, crossing is back – not so easy that every game features five headers apiece, but no longer a complete waste of time to be avoided. It faces criticism for putting out the same game every year, and while I don’t necessarily think that’s true, trying to pick apart the finer issues of the game does seem to highlight a lot of similarities to last year, and the year before that, and the year before that…īut then, the single biggest problem with FIFA 20 was that crossing didn’t work.
