In terms of game modes, there have been minor tweaks to career mode (you can simulate matches and jump in to take control if it’s going pear-shaped) and to small-sided mode Volta Football, which is surely not long for this world. I think they do a really good job for BT Sport and ITV in real life, but Rae might have had a few too many coffees on the morning of recording for this, because he shouts everything, and has an annoying habit of over-pronouncing people's names. They’ve been replaced by the grating pairing of Derek Rae and Lee Dixon, who were on Champions League duty in FIFA 20, but are now doing every game. One gripe, and maybe this is just me raging against change, is that the commentary team of Martin Tyler and Alan Smith – comfortable and reassuring, like an old sofa – seem to have entirely disappeared from the game. Things will get tweaked and fiddled with over the next year in response to complaints from players – EA has taken the unusual step of setting up a Trello board so that fans can see the status of particular issues within the game and their progress towards being mended. The collision system has been tweaked so that players will jump out of the way of slide tackles, and so your own defenders won’t perform impromptu slapstick routines during a goalmouth scramble.Īs always, some routes to goal seem particularly overpowered – the deft chip seems to be a dangerous weapon this year (or maybe I’m just too eager to bring the keeper out), for instance, and the developers have tried to make headed goals a thing again after they were almost impossible to score from in the last edition. On the pitch, the graphics are the same as always, but there are some neat new animations to bring the action closer to real life – in one pleasing new tidbit, I saw Kylian Mbappe controlling a chipped through ball on his thigh before racing through to score.
