Fifa 21

was invited to the 2 week beta that EA are currently running, career mode has been revamped, although layout is mainly the same there are a few tweaks which is making me potentially want to sign up again this year, as i was 50/50 considering Pro Evo, partly as its a cheaper game this year due to the PS5 transition in engines.

summary of changes here

you can finally re-train players for new positions, which is good. you can also sim games in a champ man style arrangement, but drop in at key points, say if you are losing 2-0 with 30 mins to go.

Gameplay appears to be much the same though

Few leagues appear to have disappeared, Brazilian league (which wasnt licensed and fake players anyway) , Serie B isnt on there, unless it wasnt finalised, though a few teams are listed in rest of the world section

Career mode is the only thing I’ve played the past two seasons, FIFA gameplay seems to be on a long-term downward spiral for me.

after playing the Beta for a few weeks, career mode does seem to have improved, and dropping in and out of games is a very handy tool, but basically nothing too significant appears to have changed

I have made the bold decision to go with PES 2021 for now, partly as its only a season update so is only costing £25 as apposed to the £50 FIFA 21 will be, as Konami are developing their new game engine for the next gen consoles.

Plus there is a lot more customization available in PES on consoles, with the ability to download user created content, so i will be keeping my eye on the non league option file as and when that it released

You were lucky to get invited tho...
Can't wait to see the improvements on Career Mode.

Haven't played any sort of FIFA or PES style football game since 15, however I never thought I'd ever see us on there so may make a one off purchase.

FM will still be the best football game.
