Fifa 21 (Switch) (Nintendo Switch)

Product Information

Any Small Key can be used to open any drawer, so feel free to spend them as soon as you find a drawer with a key in hand. Sure, the rosters will be out of date, but in case you hadn’t already picked up on the point we’ve been subtly making throughout this review, the whole bloody game’s out of date anyway. Ultimate Team features 100 icon players, including 11 new names: Eric Cantona, Petr Čech, Ashley Cole, Samuel Eto'o, Philipp Lahm, Ferenc Puskás, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Davor Šuker, Fernando Torres, Nemanja Vidić, and Xavi all feature as icons for the first time.

This mode is played by collecting player cards and creating teams with said cards to play against others or the AI. The Ultimate and Champions editions were released on 6 October ahead of the release of the standard edition on 9 October. So although I understand why people are mad at ea here I don't understand why they aren't equally frustrated with nintendo and why they are so happy to banish one of the few big name third party developers from the system. That was an infamous example of a publisher taking an existing game and trying to pass it off as a new product. If there's one game or genre, where a season/battle/subscription pass model would make sense, it's sportsball stuff covering minor changes with the occasional DLC mode.I'm not happy with these rereleases but at least they're 1080p 60fps and annually go on a reasonable sale. Once again, EA has insulted Switch owners by giving them the version it usually releases on dead systems. Emperor-Palpsy I don't even necessarily want them to update to Frostbite, though: like I say in the review, I completely understand that the Switch isn't as powerful as the Xbox One and PS4 and that Frostbite may be too much for the system. Have tried the One X version and it looks exactly the same than the free Fifa 21 on the gamepass, doesn't include the main new features, doesn't include any graphics improvements at all.

Meanwhile, companies like Konami (who admittedly didn’t even bother trying to bring Pro Evolution Soccer to the Switch) at least acknowledge when they’ve hit the end of the road and aren’t bothering to update their games any more. Oh, and the year before: “FIFA 20 Legacy Edition will feature the same gameplay innovation from FIFA 19 without any new development or significant enhancements.

In-game stats can now be upgraded individually for special cards (the example given is if Trent Alexander-Arnold scored a free-kick for a TOTW in-form item, the free-kick accuracy can be much higher than his other in-form items).
