Covid-19 and FIFA 21

EA Games is in an unprecedented position with FIFA 21’s development this year. Never in the history of the series has there been prolonged and widespread postponement of leagues and tournaments, but the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic has lead to that right across Europe and many other competitions around the globe.

FIFA games rely on the yearly cycle of tournaments and transfer market moves, with players moving from team to team, and the roster of each annual edition of the game changing appropriately. But with leagues on hold for an indefinite period, we’ve been worrying that running close to the wire against FIFA’s usual September release window, potentially with competitions unfinished and, with real-world professional players needing a break, might push the following tournaments further into the distance. Could this be the first FIFA of the modern age to release without accompanying leagues being in play?

As very much web connected titles these days, this is less of a concern than would have been in the past – a patch can bring any player transfers or scheduling changes into play as a download. But it does mean the developers will have to make more sweeping changes in order to coax a purchase. The fact this is the year that the PS5 and Xbox Series X consoles will release may help in that respect.

And what of the Euro 2020 tournament, now postponed to 2021? In other years, this would usually be added to the game as a downloadable extra in time for kick-off. Fortunately for EA, the license this year sits with rivals Konami and the Pro Evolution Soccer franchise. Will Konami maintain it? Or will EA get an opportunity to nab the license in its next year?

FIFA 21 release date

It’s only recently been confirmed that, yes, FIFA 21 will release on 6 October, 2020 this years, which usually places the yearly FIFA game in the last two weeks of September – despite the coronavirus impact.

FIFA 20 was revealed in June and launched on September 27, 2019, with FIFA 18 launching on September 28 the year before. We can therefore reasonably estimate it’ll hit store shelves around these two dates, so prepare your wallets, FIFA fans.

Will FIFA 21 be cross-platform?

EA has confirmed that FIFA 21 is coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X.

Given that we can guesstimate FIFA 21’s release date as some time in October 2020, it’s worth considering whether the game will be cross-platform or not. The PS5 and Xbox Series X will be dropping during the holiday season (between October and December 2020), which puts FIFA 21 in an interesting milieu.

Given that both Sony and Microsoft have spoken about the importance of backwards compatibility, we can expect to see the game make the jump to the new consoles at some point, even if it’s simply an upgraded digital and physical release of FIFA 21.

If you cast your minds back to the start of this console generation and the launch of the Xbox 360, you may remember that it boasted an exclusive FIFA game in FIFA 06: Road to the World Cup, so who knows, there could be something similar in the works for Euro 2020 / Euro 2021.

FIFA 21: what we want to see

FIFA 20 is certainly one of the better games in the FIFA series, at least in recent memory. It added a noticeable set of systems, new modes like Volta and some clever tweaks to the in-game AI to keep things interesting, addressing the issues raised by players. Yet there’s always something else to improve in a game with such labyrinthine systems.

More street games
Whilst Volta was a great start, it’s achingly close to the incredible fun of FIFA Street, so if EA was prepared to iterate and update Volta and make it even more absurd and haptic then we’re sure that would go down a storm. Integrating both the street game and the realistic football FIFA is known for would create even more value for the player in the yearly release cycle.

Improve career mode
In regards to what has been heavily requested following the previous game’s launch, players have honed in on updating the now-lacking career mode, a FIFA institution that still needs some polish. Despite the new features added in FIFA 20, it’s clear the system needs some kind of overhaul to keep it from feeling so painfully similar and lacklustre year on year.

Visual upgrades
Beyond that, it’s starting to become clear that the visual upgrades between each FIFA near the end of this console generation have become negligible, meaning that it would be great to see a meaningful change in graphical fidelity in FIFA 2021. This will most likely come as a consequence of the arrival of new consoles, which boast features like ray-tracing, better audio quality and SSDs for faster loading speeds, which will most likely be the most noticeable change.

Licensing agreements
Of course, it would be nice to see FIFA regain its licensing agreements so we don’t have to lose Juventus to PES in the next iteration, as well as the exclusive stadiums like Camp Nou that were missing from last year’s release. Ultimate Team is also becoming a growing concern with fans, more so than ever due to the transparency on pack opening odds and heat from national legal commissions around the globe that have caused quite a stir within the community.

Making the system fairer and packs less expensive would certainly afford EA some brownie points and be appreciated by its global army of players. There’s also VAR but uh… let’s not get into that. The inclusion of modern football’s most abrasive system will no doubt cause arguments and be particularly difficult to implement, but if EA is pushing for true Premier League realism, then it would make a lot of sense.
