Fifa 21 review: PES rival more packed than ever with overhauled Career Mode
- EA Sports behemoth has finally updated its long forgotten Career Mode with a nod to Football Manager
- Volta is still not Fifa Street but there is more than enough to keep gamers busy on annual update
Football changed beyond recognition this year. First it stopped entirely, then it came back without crowds, now as we have seen from the results of Liverpool, Manchester United and Manchester City this season it seems to make no sense. Even Bayern Munich have been beaten this campaign.
While we might not know what to expect from real life for the rest of the season, Fifa 21 is here to bring back a bit of normality.
So what’s new?
First off there have finally been changes to Career Mode – which often feels like the game’s poor relation to the shiny, moneymaker Fifa Ultimate Team. The biggest of these is to take a leaf from Football Manager and sim matches in a 2D match engine.
This is a great improvement and removes one of the most tiresome aspects of previous years – having to play all the games for example. Now you can “Jump In” at any time (and you can jump back out).
