FIFA 21 really seems to be stepping up its game with this latest instalment, bringing with it sweeping changes to gameplay and Career Mode. It's Ultimate Team where EA Sports makes all its money though, and that too will receive some welcome improvements. Alongside better co-op play, events specific to real-life players, and the iconic FUT 100, you will also get the chance to customise your very own stadium.
As detailed in the trailer above, you can enhance the match-day experience with custom music, goal celebrations, and pyrotechnics. You can also level up your home ground with new tiers to unlock and other ways "to make it bounce". This is such a cool inclusion that takes a step in the direction that this particular scribe has always wanted the FIFA franchise to go in. It won't be a standard ground until they make it to the Premier League, but now Derby County fans can create their very own Pride Park Stadium. That's what this Push Square editor will be doing, at least.
Which grounds will you recreate in-game? Let us know in the comments below.

"Inspired by some of the most intense atmospheres in world football"

Little bit off there. There's more noise in a library than the Etihad.
This is definitely cool. I like the stadium builder aspect, even if it is effectively just another avenue for EA to earn more money.
Nah idk how EA manage to bonk people over the head annually and deceive ppl into the investment of another (the same) fifa. Not this year EA. I have given too much.
Ultimate team needs to go, it’s one of the most predatory business practices in a game there is, anything additional to it is just there to pull more money from the current players.
Shame we’re in the minority and it’s probably here to stay for the long run.
@piggyhero have you ever been?
Only good if they bring it to career mode. Fut is trash
I used to enjoy building grounds in LMA manager..
@theMEGAniggle exactly mate, I'm in the same boat not giving any money to FIFA this year. If they had done the stadium building and other things for the career mode then maybe would have thought about it. But you just know they will monetise this feature. Last year's FIFA was probably one of the worst I've played. If this year's is a bit better then might pick it up this time next year when it's dirt cheap. I don't play fut or much online only with my m8s so can easily wait a year and pick it up for a few quid.
@Daleaf honestly it's horrible. Since I was a child I've been buying these games I wonder how much I've wasted. Well it was actually good back then but since 16 its been near enough the same every year. I only play career mode and Pro clubs with friends now so these changes mostly only coming to ultimate team just help me with my decision to boycott.
Watch out for pes 2022 next year, I feel like them taking a year off will translate into a more fun, more enjoyable game 🤞🏾
Very nice. FIFA was a must have during lock down. Not seeing my family in Europe this year, beating them in Fifa will have to do 😊
@theMEGAniggle yea I used to buy pes on PS2 days it was amazing back then. Then as soon as it came to PS3 it just went awful. Hopefully you are right and the next one will be good. I've played a few demos of pes but there's just something missing with it doesn't feel quite right, maybe too much FIFA has clouded my judgement. But will defo give it a look next year.
Sweet, can I add a load of bin bags around Anfield to get that real life feel???
@piggyhero I am pretty sure city, averages one of the highest attendents rate,in the EPL.
@Jmatt_021 I have not but you don't have to go there to know they have notoriously got a bad atmosphere and I was just having a joke.
@rachetmarvel High attendance =/= good atmosphere
@theMEGAniggle Its with a lot of games thats why i sold Overwatch. The hunt for the costumes made me do stupid things buy a few lootboxes too get that last limited skin. I know its stupid but the know how too push those buttons. Look at MDW the game is great fun but OMG those skins cost in the range of €15/25. FUT i can understand the fun but every year starting over from scratch its insane.
How big is the chance you get a FUT 100 player 0.1%
@Daleaf yeah I feel like the gameplay of fifa (very assisted imo if you get what I mean) makes pes feel bad to play. Think it's just a thing of getting used to the game.
Also, PS3 era of pes was slept on because fifa was so good during that time. Pes 2010 - 2013 were great games, Konami just didn't get it when it was the transition to next gen, starting from 2014, these pes games on ps4 have been atrocities. 2019 was great but 2020 not so much. I just hope they will get back to form.
@Flaming_Kaiser it's actually insane and draining. You get to a point where you're just revolted that you've actually given in to these shady normalised practices. I can't support these games anymore because aside from the fun you get out of obtaining some silly stuff, the games are just repetitive and all in all, not fun.
@theMEGAniggle They are quite skilled in making a addicting loop its kinda scary. This generation thinks its normal that games are like this they are just waiting for the older generations too quit so they can go even further. Free to Play is a brilliant example in the end you pay more then with a payed game and games are build too be grindy. Look at Overwatch i noticed that put in more and more sprays and voice samples too make grind longer for those skins its a joke. With Overwatch it just clicked with me i thought what am i doing are you this stupid ok #### it im trading it in. And the other problem was im doing the same thing over and over and over just too grind.
Just another lame idea for UT packs to convince people to buy them, what's the point if it was Championship Manager yeah but this game no.
I believe this feature should have been added years ago. For me is not enough to buy the game at launch. Gameplay looks so alike with the last 3-4 editions at least. Sorry EA!
@Flaming_Kaiser bro the things they do and get away with is just insane. It's like free real estate for publishers to Syphon as much money out of us as they can and we fall for it/ give it the benefit of the doubt everytime
@theMEGAniggle I will give you a link about how shameless they are. https://youtu.be/7S-DGTBZU14 look at 14:44 how shameless its from the Jimquisition.
@Flaming_Kaiser it's absolutely disgusting man, I just feel for the vulnerable people that pour money into these things
