Author’s take
EA Sports has finally revamped the Career Mode. The fans were disappointed with the Career Mode in FIFA 20 but it seems EA has done a good job to earn back their fans. Till now, FIFA 21 seems to be winning the race but still, it will all depend on the gameplay which can be truly tested after the game releases on 9th October worldwide.
EA Sports has already opened the pre-order links for FIFA 21 and is offering a special FUT item if you pre-order the Ultimate Edition within 14th August. You can also pre-order FIFA 21 from Amazon in India.
