Good Qualities
- Awesome soundtrack that gives out FIFA 09/13/14 vibes to people who played those games in the past.
- The graphics are really good and an improvement over the previous FIFA games, especially because of how colorful they are, the players also look like their real life self too, like the previous games.
- The Switch version, while not bad, at least has good graphics and is a slight improvement over the previous FIFA games, despite being downgraded.
- The gameplay is an improvement over the previous games, since it is more fluid and less glitchy and unfair like FIFA 20, not to mention that it can be fun to play.
- The Volta mode is back and better than ever, since it contain a lot of stadiums to choose and the gameplay is basically like FIFA Street, not to mention that there are a lot of modes to play in that mode too.
- The stadiums in Volta mode look awesome as usual, with lots of them being stylish and even would make the game have more variaty.
- Decent, responsive controls for the most part.
- The multiplayer is fun and would make you kill some hours with your friends if they like playing FIFA games.
- The online mode is also great, despite being very unfair for those who didn't play a FIFA game before or even for those that are good at FIFA.
- It's a good way to start the EA Sports FC series overall.
Bad Qualities
- As usual with any game made by EA Sports, there's a lot of microtransations, but they aren't as bad here.
- The online mode, while fine, is quite unfair if you don't know how to play this game well.
- The Switch version is fine, but still has some missing features and downgraded graphics, such as VOLTA, etc.
Reception
The game received positive reviews by critics and mixed reviews by gamers, with a score of 79, 78, 75, 67 for the PC, Xbox Series, PS5 and Nintendo Switch respectively, the game was however once again review bombed on this website.
