In a move that arrives after years of demands, fitness and training items have been removed in FIFA 21. Of course, it all looks and sounds nice in theory but we’ll have to see how it actually plays out across all the different collisions in the game. The development team has seemingly taken note of this and introduced the Natural Collision System which leads to less falling, less skirmishing and “more natural outcomes” when vying for ball control.

Alternatively, you can press in both sticks to lock on to the current player when attacking.Ĭollisions in sports titles can be wonky, especially in a game like FIFA. Creative Runs allow for up to five players to move at once, which has the potential for some interesting plays. You can also simply flick the right stick when preparing for a quick pass, indicating the direction that your teammate should go beforehand. Hold down L1 or LB while pressing the right stick for a run behind or hold R1 and RB before hitting the right stick to call a teammate short. Probably one of the more exciting new features for FIFA 21’s gameplay is being able to actually dictate runs for AI teammates. It’s supposed to add more personalization to one’s dribbling, though time will tell if it’s as overwhelmingly advantageous as strafe dribbling was. This also enables new moves like the ball roll fake, essentially fooling defenders to move past them.

You essentially hold down R1 or RB and move with the left stick to execute some very quick touches with the battle. The game is out on October 9 th for Xbox One, PS4, PC and Switch with Xbox Series X and PS5 releases later so let’s take a look at some of the biggest changes compared to last year’s edition.Īgile dribbling is somewhat similar to the strafe dribble in FIFA 20. With FIFA 21, however, EA Vancouver and EA Romania are seemingly rising to the occasion, implementing several new features and changes to Career Mode, Ultimate Team, Volta and much more. It’s often joked about how EA Sports’ FIFA franchise hardly sees any changes, year in and year out.
