EA Sports came out with FIFA 21 a few weeks back, and it is already a contender for the best entry in the long-running franchise.

The game looks absolutely phenomenal at a first glance. EA has done its fair share of homework to make the most of the new hardware before the game releases for the new consoles on December 4. Moreover, several updates are still rolling out to make the experience even grander for the players.

For sure, EA has worked hard to give the players a more lifelike perspective in the game. Their movements, facial features, and even celebrations are better than ever. The new update will add a few celebrity faces to the game, including pop star Dua Lipa, F1 legend Lewis Hamilton, and several others.

While these celebrities look immaculate, some football stars in the game look virtually disoriented which has brought the fans’ wrath down on EA.

However, the fans who have been able to grab the latest title, also point to several loopholes. Many football stars like Reece James, Mason Greenwood, and Martin Odegaard have just received generic scans.

This is in stark contrast to Dua Lipa’s character in the game that looks absolutely spotless. The community feels that football stars should be EA’s priority.

While the community is aware of the contents of the update, the exact date of arrival of these celebrities remains unclear. This leaves enough time for the devs to put an end to the loopholes before the title comes around for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X.
