Another year another
FIFA, but unlike other sports titles out there
EA's take on the World Game is one of constant evolution, change, and updates. In addition to looking better than ever this year the focus is on personality and expanding the footwork to clear the way between you and the keeper.
A snippet from out in-depth preview.
Even though these gameplay changes are also based on community feedback, the renewed focus on dribbling, personality, and runs, will have a far-reaching impact on couch co-op and online play. And in keeping with the theme of FIFA 21 – the first and probably biggest – gameplay change comes in the form of fancy footwork.
Dubbed ‘Agile Dribbling’ this is that thing we’ve all done once or twice on the field over the years, try to trick defenders into committing their weight and movement in one direction as our feet dance and move the ball about in a different direction. Like a martial artist showing off a form, it’s a mix of grace, skill, and beauty. That’s not to say that it’s ever worked for me (it hasn’t), but as FIFA puts you in control of the biggest football stars in the world this sort of fancy footwork opens the door to swift side-to-side ball control in a way that looks cool and adds a different way to break from a defender.
