However, that improved shooting balance is seeing the resurgence of the dreaded drop back/one depth tactic that played a sizeble role in making FIFA 20 so dull.Ī reliance on pace in attack means you have to limit the space in behind your attack when defending. While pace and counter attacks are still key (the former possibly more so than ever before), the fact that one-on-one finishing, crossing, finesse shots from the edge of the box, front post pile-drivers, and quick passing moves are all viable options ensure that it’s not just a case of spamming through ball for the likes of Mbappe and Aubameyang. Attacking play is certainly more balanced when facing the AI or coming up against players who use more attack minded tactics. Thankfully, FIFA 21 seems to have somewhat fixed that main issue. With mid-range finishing, heading, and finesse shot ranging from unreliable to completely useless, players resulted to spamming drag backs in the box to get a bit of space for a quick finish. Players would set their team up to sit deep and play passively, requiring the opponent to break down compact lines.
The meta was so rigid, almost making it a requirement to have a team full of high agility players with five-star Weak Foot and Skill Moves. However, as has been the case for the last few years too, FIFA 21 only inches the series forward with a few small improvements, while other long term issues remain unaddressed.įIFA 20’s biggest issues were on the gameplay side. For the most part, FIFA 20 was a frustrating experience, so the end of one generation and start of another is the perfect time for FIFA to see an improvement across the board. With PES taking 2020 off to focus on a move to Unreal Engine in 2021, FIFA 21 is a great chance for EA Sports to take advantage and cement their position as the best soccer game around.
