Football simulator for Windows

FIFA 21 (FIFA 2021) is one of the most famous soccer simulators in the world. EA Sports publishes a new version each year with various tweaks and improvements. With FIFA 21, you can play in the stadium, on the streets, or try one of the other modes like Ultimate Team - FIFA 21 has more ways to play than ever before. 

Compared to other football games, FIFA 21 is unrivaled when it comes to authenticity. You'll find 30+ official leagues, over 700 teams, and more than 17,000+ authentic players. The closest rival to the FIFA series of games is Pro Evolution Soccer which has more of an arcade feel to it and doesn't match the authenticity. 

 

FIFA 21 gameplay features

In this latest installment, you'll find lots of new creative ways to perform when playing on and off the ball. The new Agile Dribbling system lets you get more creative when playing 1-on-1 situations. Achieve fast footwork using the responsive close control and take advantage of a whole new range of skills like the ball roll fake so you can get past defenders. 

This time around, the in-game intelligence has received a boost so players can make improved positioning decisions. Your teammates and opponents will be better at making their runs at the right time and shutting down attacks just like a real player would on the pitch. You also have much more control breaking down defenses with three new creative runs: directed runs, directed pass and go, and player lock. 

The enhanced collision system means when players bump into each other on the field, their reactions will be much more realistic instead of everyone falling over. Those critical moments like the goalmouth scramble or midfield battle for possession are more authentic and enjoyable when they occur. 

EA has also made changes to the fundamentals of the games. Passing, blocking, responsiveness, and manual headers have all received improvements that raise the game's overall quality. 

FIFA 21 Career Mode 

Career Mode lets you take control of every aspect of your team as you try to reach the top of the league. With the Interactive Match Sim, you can enjoy the game in a whole different way by jumping in and out of the action when needed and making changes as the match continues. And with the Player Development feature, you have greater control over the training and development of your players, so you can create a team that matches your style and fix any weaknesses. 

You also have tools like Match Sharpness and Active Training that give valuable insights into your squad's performance and let you set up specialized training to increase the chances your players will perform when it matters the most. You can even schedule when your players will train and rest to balance morale and fitness. 

Finally, the transfer options offer even more realism so you can set up all kinds of deals and sign new talent for your team. 

FIFA 2021 Ultimate Team Game 

Ultimate Team Game is probably FIFA's most popular game mode. It lets players build their dream team while offering challenges and objectives to complete for rewards. By allowing you to combine players from different teams and nationalities, there are endless possibilities.  

You can play Ultimate Team Game offline or online, by yourself or together with friends. This year, EA has streamlined much of the management side of things so you can spend more time playing on the pitch and less time managing your team. 

FIFA 2021 VOLTA football 

In FIFA 20, EA introduced VOLTA, a street football mode with smaller teams and lots of great features like customized gameplay, heaps of locations, cool gear, unique match types like VOLTA kick-off, VOLTA world, VOLTA Story, and VOLTA League. With FIFA 21, you'll find more ways to play with up to three friends, featured battles, and a special debut introduction to VOLTA with legendary players Kaká and Lisa Zimouche. 

A welcome update 

FIFA 21 may not bring ground-breaking changes to the series, but it introduces new features and improves upon existing ones. It can't be beaten when it comes to authenticity. If you've dreamed of having Eric Cantona, Zinedine Zidane, Pelé, Maradona, and Messie together on one team, you can in Ultimate Team. 

If you prefer faster-paced games which require intense battling and dribbling while countering explosive attacks from the opposition, you can check out VOLTA for a taste of street football.
