Opened account on metacritic just to review this crap with a 0. That's how bad it is. It has too many negative issues, I don't even know where to start... I am on my 30's and I've been playing FIFA since 1995. Always have been my favourite game. I owned FIFA 95, FIFA 99, FIFA 2002, FIFA 2007, FIFA 2010, FIFA 2012, FIFA2015 FIFA 2019 and FIFA 21. So I guess i know what I am talking about and it's so painful how much they are destroying this game on purpose. The first main issue is this: FIFA IS NOT A SIMULATOR! It used to be. Now is not. Gameplay gives you the illusion that your actions matter, and that the match result will more or less reflect your gameplay, but we all experience the so-called "Scripting". It may be reasonable to take away some "simulation" just so newbiees don't give up when playing online, but just don't call it football simulator, is just a different thing. On career mode is just so silly, I remember good times with FIFA 2007 when instead of just brain-wash you with brands and teams you could create your own fantasy football club, starting from the bottom and eventually being able to make it an elite club, with options like investing in your stadium, etc. Now, is not a simulator on that sense neither. So what is FIFA? Just an illusion, good graphics, but at the end of the day is the same as watching a netflix show, if the match is meant to end on a specific way, you will experience a lot of very weird things so that the result of the match is as it's meant to be. Is not a football simulator, is not a management simulator, is not an e-sport, I just don't know what it is anymore... so sad...
