The arrival of a new FIFA game every Autumn has become a staple of millions of gamers\u2019 calendars.

The trailer latest, paired with new information about Ultimate Team, means players have a host of content to get excited about. FIFA 21 Ultimate Team changes A series of official statements have been released, stating what will be different this time around. \u201cFUT Co-Op lets you team up with a friend and compete for rewards,\u201d EA have announced. \u201cJoin forces in both Division Rivals and Squad Battles to earn weekly progress, and work towards brand new Co-Op Objectives that reward playing together beyond winning on the pitch.\u201d Read More: FIFA 21 pre-order: How to get 10% discount – They also tease new ways to customize both kits and stadiums, saying that FIFA 21 will feature \u201cnew and expanded ways to customise your team\u2019s look both on the pitch and in the stands.\u201d Eric Cantona, the legendary France and Manchester United midfielder, was also teased as an upcoming ICON to join the cast of incredible cards we saw in FIFA 20.

Gameplay details revealed Further to the Ultimate Team details, EA revealed a significant amount of gameplay changes and new features. A new \u2018agile dribbling\u2019 system will debut in FIFA 21. EA\u2019s description of the new feature states: \u201cFaster footwork gives you more control and responsiveness in one-on-one situations, and new skill moves like the bridge dribble and ball roll fake turn provide you with the means to explode past defenders.\u201d Similarly, \u201cpositioning personality raises the importance of positional awareness. World-class forwards will hold their runs to stay level with the last defender to stay onside, playmakers will hunt for space to operate between the lines, while the best defenders will close down passing lanes more effectively to make it harder for the opposition to create opportunities.\u201d This, paired with the new \u2018Creative Runs\u2019 feature, makes it sound like EA were incredibly keen to place emphasis on AI improvements, something players have been fairly critical of in FIFA 20. The game devs appear to be striving to improve the realism of their game. Emphasis on \u2018smoother encounters\u2019 and the \u2018fundamentals of football\u2019 mean that certain gameplay mechanics will be set for change. In a statement, EA say: \u201cManual headers, more balanced blocking, more intelligent passing, and increased responsiveness\u201d will give us more control on and off the ball. Players will be hoping FIFA 21 can live up to the high bar set by the game\u2019s reveal trailer. It certainly sounds like EA are striving to get the basics right in this year\u2019s title.
