Although the basis for most of the features would be the beta code recently released by Electronic Arts Sports (EA Sports), there seems to be a host of new regulations that could prove to be the “biggest update of the past decade”.
EA Sports vice-president Nick Wlodyka stated that ‘much of the Career Mode enhancements are down to the fan’s input and their suggestions’. He was also quoted as saying, “We’ve really made the biggest investments we’ve ever made to make sure we’re delivering exactly what our players are asking for. We’ve had so much feedback over the past few years from our players wanting to see more things they can control in career mode.”
So how much cash can you expect to splurge amongst the myriad of 20 Premier League teams? Up the higher end of the tree, one can find Manchester United and Manchester City with enormous figures of 167.4 and 167 million pounds respectively.
They are followed by real-life Premier League champions Liverpool with a distanced budget of 77.2 million pounds. Chelsea and Arsenal lock up the Top 5 spots with budgets of 72.5 and 71.5 million pounds each.
At the other end of the table and if you fancy a tough challenge building a competitive squad, then perhaps the likes of Leeds United (14.7 million pounds), Fulham (14.8 million pounds) and West Brom (16.5 million pounds) would be more up your alley.
However, all is not lost if one does not have enough funds – because the Financial Takeover tool allows you to select from a host of options at the start of a new Career mode and customize the playing experience altogether. According to FIFA CM Content, you can request funds of 10 million pounds, 100 million pounds, 500 million pounds, or disable the in-game feature itself.
Among other playing rules, the game now allows you full control to decide whether or not an advantage must be played when a foul is committed as well as allowing you to pass to players inside the box during Goal Kicks, which previously was not the case. Real-name referees will also be added to the game database for the user to get a holistic playing experience – one name revealed so far, is said to be the very eccentric Mike Dean!
Regardless, people await the release of the biggest and exciting football game in the world any which way. But FIFA 21 with all these latest aspects may just take it to a whole new and different level.
