While its arch rival Pro Evolution Soccer has managed to chip away at its monopoly ever so slightly, FIFA remains the undisputed top dog for soccer games. Out of the two, it is the richest in licences when it comes to clubs, leagues, players, and stadiums, it's the most established as a competitive esport, and more importantly, it's the most played.
The countdown to a new FIFA game is always exciting, and with FIFA 21 it was no exception. While FIFA 20 was certainly not without faults - from the perspective of both its gameplay and the increasing scrutiny of Ultimate Team's addictive "gambling" mechanics - FIFA 21 still went down a storm.
FIFA 21 was first revealed during June's EA Play online conference, although the trailer (which it shared with fellow EA Sports title Madden NFL 21) left fans exasperated at the lack of juicy info. However, it did flex the graphical muscles of the next generation of consoles with some striking visuals.
