FIFA 21 New Features - What Gameplay Improvements And Changes Are In FUT 21

1. Agile Dribbling

This is another dribbling feature that they've introduced in the game for the third consecutive year and we have had real player motion technology in FIFA 19, strafe dribbling in FIFA 20 and now it's agile dribbling. Even though it looks all the same but they are not to perform the agile dribbling, hold R1, RB while moving the left stick and you will notice the dribbler moving the ball with rapid and precise touches every player in the game can draw agile dribble. However, the higher the player scribbling stats, agility and reactions, the ball control and attributes, the quicker and the more precise and better they will be keeping the ball at their feet. So this new dribbling feature can be performed by pressing the R1 button and then moving your left stick, that means that you can mix both strafe dribbling from last year that is performed with the L1 button and the edge alterable from this year by pressing the r1 button, so you can mix and match both and beat your opponents to achieve a more dynamic dribble regardless of the technique you're using.

2. Creative Runs

This is another feature that you should know about when the game comes out. From FIFA 20, you pass the ball to do a 1 2 and your player runs in a straight line after passing the ball. Now the straight line motion makes it really hard for us to find space for an attack in and it's really easy to defend against. Now in FIFA 21 when you pass the ball for a 1 2 you can hold the L1 and then flick your right stick and you can make your player run wherever you want. This makes it hard to defend against and keeping in mind that the jockey mechanic is the same thing and it balances both attack and defense in FIFA 21 thus making it completely different to play as EA explains in the article.

So you can do any type of directed pass and go with this feature you can create as many runs as you want.

Player Lock

There's another feature called the player lock where you can pass the ball to the cpu and do a one two with it. This creates huge possibilities when it comes to attack and in defense since these things were not possible previously in FIFA 20.

3. Smoother Encounter

To promote a smoother game flow in FIFA 21, EA created a new animation system combine them to better decide how players interact physically with each other. This will reduce the amount of chaotic situations in the game.

EA explained this in their article how they fixed all the buggy glitchy colliding chaos that used to happen in the field. This is something that's going to be a quality of life improvement for all of us because we are quite frustrated with the bugs and glitches that happen in the game due to the horrible collisions and the rebounds of the players.

4. Fullback cooperation

this is another feature that they've added in the game which shows how the full backs in the previous games didn't work properly when it comes to covering the space left out by the center backs if you have ever played any FIFA game before you know how left backs and right backs do not cooperate in the middle of the pitch and are only responsible for crossing wings back post headers nothing else this year if the defender sees space. This feature is really realistic to see left backs and right backs actually covering the space behind the defense.

5. No Useless Animations

This is one of the best when it comes to this list. They've removed the pile of shit animation where the players just walk back after scoring a goal that used to exist and everybody used to watch this animation for no reason and waste all our time. They have also reduced the length of all the gold celebrations, so no more watching celebrations and replays for 30 seconds which is really good. They have also changed many timings of different set piece cut scenes like kickoff is now 10 seconds which was 30 seconds before. Throw-ins are now 12 seconds which were 30 seconds before. As well cold kicks corner kicks penalty kicks and all are 15 seconds which were 30 seconds before.

6. Skill Moves Changes

The new changes coming to the skill moves are huge and will add a lot of fun when it comes to using. Everyone on the pitch previously you cannot perform any skill moves with some players who are lower star skilled, now everyone can do these generic skill moves like the ball rolls or the simple rainbows and the roulettes. You can do that with everyone even the goalkeeper, that means you can finally do some skill moves to get out of the tight situations with the center backs and even goalkeepers if you want.

Skill move cancel is another feature, if you accidentally performed a skill move and that you didn't want to do and then you can just cancel it midway by holding the lt l2, the list of all the skill moves that can be cancelled are on this picture.

New Controller Settings Menu

We’ll explain all these new things that you'll get in the controller menu.

- Auto flare pass: If you switch it on then your players won't do the fancy back heels and stylish things automatically.
- Auto clearances: It is the same if you have it on and then your players won't auto clear the ball for you
- Auto shots: It is a setting for players to take a shot after a rebound and stuff so that they won't do it automatically so if you have it off you have to shoot yourself.
- Player lock: The new 1 2 feature that I was talking about. We use the cpu is enabled from here.
- Contextual agile dribbling: The new dribbling feature is also controlled from here.
- And the last one is assisted and manual headers which you can use in FIFA 21.

What do you think of these features to FIFA 21? Will they approve the game? I think the answer is yes. This game will not change your life, but it is the best and truest football match in the market. Follow our FIFA news to know more about FUT 21 guide.
