This year, more players than ever before are jumping into the
game early, with over 2.3 million players worldwide already
experiencing the excitement of stepping out on the virtual pitch
through EA Play**. Players have also been busy creating their dream
squads, with more than 3 million squads created to date.
“Playing together with friends and family is a big part of what
makes playing EA SPORTS FIFA so enjoyable and this year we’ve added
a number of ways to team up on the virtual pitch across VOLTA
FOOTBALL and FUT,” said Aaron McHardy, Executive Producer, EA
SPORTS FIFA. “We’ve also added all-new features to Career Mode,
with a focus on delivering against some of the top feedback we’ve
received from our players, to build an experience that lets them
manage every moment, taking their favorite team from the start of
the season to football championship glory.”
This year, new innovations added to Career Mode create
additional depth in matches, transfers, and training, with more
ways than ever to control team growth and make it easier for
players to begin their managerial career. Features like Interactive
Match Sim and Player Development are key to taking control of your
season, while the enhanced opposition AI provides new systems that
create more informed AI decision-making in marking, tackling,
passing and dribbling.
VOLTA FOOTBALL returns to the streets with the opportunity for
players to add star power to their teams in the all-new VOLTA
FEATURED BATTLES mode. Face off against football icons like FIFA 21
Cover Athlete, Kylian Mbappé, alongside global stars like
award-winning producer and DJ, Diplo and heavyweight boxing
champion, Anthony Joshua, with more big names added throughout FIFA
21 each week***. Players can also enjoy a more social street
football experience through VOLTA SQUADS, a new way to join
together with up to four friends or drop into the community with
other VOLTA FOOTBALL players and win as one in 5v5 online
cooperative play.
More intelligent gameplay elevates scoring opportunities via
all-new dynamic attacking systems. These improvements aim to raise
players’ decision-making to new levels and reward creativity and
control all over the pitch, creating a more true-to-life
footballing experience through attributes like Positioning
Personality, new Creative Runs, and Agile Dribbling.
Team up with the FUT Community to build a dream squad in the
most social FIFA Ultimate Team experience to date. Join friends
online to compete for rewards in the all-new FUT Co-Op mode or join
together with the global FUT Community in FUT Events. To learn more
