It’s the turn of summer and autumn, and it’s time for sports new year games to be put on sale, and then to earn a lot of money and be scolded“ The category of “sports simulation” now has its particularity. On the one hand, they are sold once a year; On the other hand, it’s hard for players who are not in this kind of game to see the difference between two generations – it seems that they are all shooting or kicking the ball.

Is FIFA 21 Still The Same As Before?

For players who are familiar with this kind of game, the change is quite obvious most of the time, and manufacturers will always find selling points for themselves, such as “agile tape” and “real physical collision”, just like the previous generation works they made not long ago are neither real nor physical. In recent years, sports games have also started the online game mode of drawing cards to purchase course money. For players who like these modes, 60 dollars has become the “qualification fee of course money”.

For single-player, the career model is undoubtedly the most durable system. However, in recent years EA has obviously put more effort into the more profitable future with FIFA 21 Coins. From my memory, the career model of FIFA 20 is almost the same as that of FIFA 14. It has not changed for a long time. This year, it has finally ushered in a change, and it is not a minor repair, but a comprehensive reform from competition to training. From this point of view, FIFA 21 may be the generation most worthy of single-player purchases.

This article will talk about the changes of this generation’s FIFA. Of course, the introduction of the career model is the focus. However, we will also talk about other changes. It should be noted that the “FIFA 21” mentioned in this paper is the PS4 version, and the contents of PC version and Xbox version are basically the same, only the switch version is quite different. As for the “difference” between the switch version and other versions, EA’s own explanation in the shop’s official store is easy to understand: “FIFA 21: Heritage version has the same innovation in game playing as FIFA 20, without any new functions or significant enhancement.” Although this is true, EA said it by itself and wrote it on the store page… I can only sigh that it’s true, sincere and not afraid of scolding.

FIFA 21 Ultimate Team Mode

FIFA ultimate team mode, in a word, is a mode of setting up one’s own team. Players can get all kinds of players by opening cards, completing tasks, and completing SBC, and then consider the chemical reaction of different players (players from the same league, club, and national team will have higher chemical bonus) to form their own team. Compared with previous years, fut mode has little change. What the players have to do is still those things: complete the task, open the card package with SBC (class gold or no class gold) to form a lineup, and then play single SQB, play online Dr qualifying, play 30 games a week to get more rewards and FIFA Coins.

However, the fut will be adjusted every year. This year’s adjustment is to add community activities in terms of tasks (the number of completed tasks is calculated by the whole community, and then rewards are given to everyone), and encourage cooperative games in terms of game mode. You can play Dr mode or SQB mode games with your friends. These changes are insignificant. The real meaningful changes may be something that looks even less impressive: the time of celebration action, playback and other animation in the game is shortened, and the physical value props are canceled. This makes the game a lot easier. In the past, the physical strength in fut mode was cumulative, which means that you need to use props to recover your physical strength after each game or let the main team rest on the bench for around, which is quite cumbersome. Now, players’ physical strength will be restored automatically after every game.

Last year, the first mock exam was FUT, which is described as “love and hate”. Because this model is very attractive, too much attention can bring endless tiredness to people. For FIFA 21, it is also true. It’s easy to judge whether you want to play fut or not. If the answer is yes, then you have no choice. “FIFA” is the best solution. The next question is, how to play.

Of course, different people have different opinions on how to play. On the bright side, players who want to play football can play one by one all the time. On the bad side, as a player who is tired of fut, I can only describe it as “liver and lesson”: FIFA’s card opening experience is terrible, worse than FGO; EA has never understood that “your time is very valuable”. Whether it’s tedious task design or the most core weekly competition mode for sports, players are required to play 30 games at the weekend (or the result of reducing from 40 games), and their intention to occupy players’ time indefinitely is written on their face.

Set up a team, play casually, relax and don’t get tangled. “The above is just my suggestion, EA has another suggestion. Before the release of FIFA 21, EA advertised fut mode in smyths toys in the UK, which caused a lot of controversy. In this advertisement, FIFA gives a very attractive “four steps to build your ultimate team (UT)”: the first step is “start playing fut”; The second step is to use FIFA points (note that this is the course gold) to open the card package.
