Fifa 21 is even worse then fifa 20..
Where are all these cool special cards for example?!? The only thing that we do have in common with the ps and Xbox edition is that we can buy these special packs at the same time as they can just so you can take our money as we are tempted to buy points and open these special packs. But for what?!? There are no headliners, no freeze cards, no rttf and so on and so on.
Yeah you guys wanna take our money but can’t even give us some special cards and you give us half the gameplay that the other platforms have?? No objectives?
I am really disapointed and will not buy this cheap ass version ever again unless you guys give us all the options we deserve.
are we getting the same features on the ultimate team as ps n xbox like pack opening animations, fut champs and the same ranking/reward system for divisions also would be nice to get computer based game mode cant remember the name but were you play against a difficulty level of your choice to gain points to get rewards at the end of the week basically would be nice to get all the same ut features or atleast a couple dont be shy with the sbcs aswell because we seem to get left out on those aswell as the promotional packs
