I guess it’s time for it to have its own thread with snippets of info coming through.

When is FIFA 21 coming out on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC?
FIFA 21 will launch worldwide on October 9, 2020 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. If you pre-order the FIFA 21 Ultimate Edition or Champions Edition you’ll be able to play from October 6.

The EA Access (PS4, Xbox One) and Origin Access (PC) Play First Trials will start on October 1.

FUT founder with years and years of issues due to networking..... didn’t buy 19 or 20. Mate let me try 19 for a month and no change. Heard they were actively looking at servers and lag. Did ea access trial for 20 for a month and no change. I’m sure 21 will be same

You deffo have it 10000 times worse than everyone else

Struggling to contain my excitement for this game

I haven't watched any trailers as yet, I'm assuming this is massive sarcasm and we're just getting the same **** again?

Pretty much the same **** yeah. Literally nothing that excites me, still looks like objectives are in rivals. I thought they’d revamp the chemistry system or just something to mix it up, removing fitness and training which in the end everyone had thousands of those cards anyway. Zzz

I didn't

Missed out the last two years now despite over 4k games each year.

From what I'm hearing its fundamentally the same game is Fifa 20, but with attempted fixes to a lot of the issues.

I don't hold out too much hope for Fifa 21, but expecting a lot of effort to go into making Fifa 22 truly next gen.

Christ. For as long as I can remember, well since PES 6, I might not even buy this on release date and just see what the views are from the general public. I play so much Warzone I barely have time for another game and if this is going to be FIFA 20 part 2 then I might just not bother.

Whats with the lack of activity in this thread? I thought it was released in the next week or so ? Or is it that bad

Think it's October, funnily enough I'm away again on release, for the first time in probably a decade I will buy the physical version to save some pennies and sell it on if its that ****!

Every year my excitement for the game has slowly decreased but this year I literally couldn't care less. Hopefully because of my low expectations it might surprise me....

I made the mistake of buying packs again at FIFA 20. Never again. I'm not buying FIFA ever again..

Could be a good game if they got rid of p2w and everyone had a level playing field and had to grind to get good teams.

The start where building teams using mediocre teams is by far the best bit of the game. Then there's the people who rinse large amounts of money to just win the starter teams, earn fast cash and make huge profits when players inflate.

*cough* @Rids *cough*

Popping my head in again, you are the person who always says having a decent team doesn’t alter anything

Can’t have it both ways

It doesn’t alter anything really from a WL results point of view. In fact you tend to get worst results as your team gets better.

I knew you’d defend spending thousands on the game. That is why you eventually hate it for not rewarding you with wins

Just buy 1 month of ea play and use the 10 hour trial from the 1st October.

Good idea

It's the best time for gaming when they are new borns, they just sleep

Wish I was bothered about this Love firing it up at midnight and going mental with points etc. Now it’s more meh

When is the 10 hour trial available? I hope it's good enough for me to get through that stage, my expectations are so low that it might just surprise me...

Sometime on the 1st.

And you can preload on all platforms? You were on the PC IIRC? lols.

Andybtsn · 1 Oct 2020 at 08:55

Can you pre download this from EA Access yet or need to wait until 4pm?

Will have to resist temptation again this year and buy no FIFA points, I think... will see how it goes. I may relent if the gameplay is really good...

You still suggesting you didn’t buy points last year

So going on tonight, this rivals placement thing, my team is just the generic starter thing, will I be playing similar teams?

Andybtsn · 2 Oct 2020 at 23:35

Played 2 seasons matches with Wolves and then one UT rivals game, all easy wins. I guess the weird thing is how easy it is coming from FIFA 20, I literally cannot see anything new to learn...yet. I think I did try a drag back and it didn't work, that thing would nice to be shot of.

I haven't played FIFA for so long it feels nice to be back playing a football game however to early to say if this is an improvement. Shame there is nothing new on the UT menus, rivals is still going to be abused for objectives which is just a travesty tbh.

I am just going to do a RTG with my team, so far Cenk Tosum and Iwobi are tearing it up. Mee and Stones at the back

Andybtsn · 3 Oct 2020 at 16:20

4 wins from the placements, Baby Ronaldo vs Mee and Stones in the last game was just to much despite winning the game at one point. Does one spend the coins now or just play seasons until the game is out the players reduce in price?
