Introduction

Welcome to FIFA 21, the game that somehow manages to make you feel like a football prodigy while simultaneously reminding you that you’re not as good as your little brother. Released for the Xbox Series X/S, FIFA 21 is like that cousin who shows up at family gatherings with the shiny new toy – you love it, but also secretly want to throw it out the window sometimes. Let’s dive into the world of football, where the players are modeled perfectly, and the bugs are even harder to ignore than your responsibilities.

Gameplay

FIFA 21 is packed full of features that could make even a chair-clinger sit on the edge of their seat. The Ultimate Team is still the awkward teenager at the party, where everyone loves to show off their best squads but ends up spending way too much cash for shiny cards—because who doesn’t want a five-star FIFA god on their team? You can play cooperatively now, which is great for teamwork, but be prepared to argue over who gets to choose the next match intro song. The Career Mode attempts to distract cynics by making changes that finally address the community’s past complaints. You can jump in and out of matches now because who has time to watch an entire match when there’s TikTok to scroll? Plus, players may now have their match fitness evaluated like a wannabe Instagram influencer showing off their progress pics. Who knew getting your players into shape could be so exhausting? But it’s not all sunshine and rainbow cards. The game still faces accusations of being a glorified shopping mall thanks to its loot box setup, leading players to riot (virtually, of course). And let’s not forget about VOLTA Football, a mode that screams 'See! We can do street football too!', even if most players just want to relive that one great goal they scored at the park six years ago.

Graphics

When it comes to graphics, FIFA 21 is like the David Beckham among games – it’s a sight for sore eyes. The lifelike player models, complete with facial expressions that remind you of those awkward school photos, are stunning. The stadiums feel vibrant, and the grass is greener than most of our backyards (no, really). Gameplay runs smoothly—unless you stumble across bugs that launch your player across the field like they’ve been possessed by a football spirit. Is it a glitch? Is it a special move? Who knows, but it’s a wild ride waiting to happen.

Conclusion

In conclusion, FIFA 21 on Xbox Series X/S is a fantastic experience for football enthusiasts and casual players alike. Sure, it’s rife with microtransactions and the occasional bug that sends your player through the goalpost, but the excitement it brings is unbeatable. Think of it as a love/hate relationship where you know you might lose some cash—or a sibling-squabble over the controller—but ultimately, you just can’t help but play it. With its flashy graphics and improved gameplay, FIFA 21 keeps the franchise alive and kicking like a ball on a rainy day! So grab your controller, get your snacks, and prepare for endless hours of simulated football stress and joy. Just remember, no one likes a ball hog—virtually or otherwise!
