The annual football video game from Electronic Arts [EA] “FIFA” is back again. This year FIFA is releasing on the 9th of October. FIFA 21 will release in the next gen consoles, Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X too.

Like every year, there is no huge revamp or overhaul of features in the game.However there are some very promising changes. Let’s have a look at such changes.

Gameplay:

While it’s impossible to judge the gameplay before the actual game’s release, it is possible to discern how the game plays from trailers and from the beta version. It has been reported that the game plays smoother and that complaints from FIFA 20 such as the overpowered near-post shots and weak headers have been addressed. Some players faces such as those of Bruno Fernandes and Erling Braut Haaland have been added.
