Will skipping the demo actually make FIFA better?

Some fans are actually disappointed as FIFA breaks its tradition. Also, practically, there is not much that devs can add into the full game experience even if they put in the time saved from skipping the demo.

However, for some fans, playing the demo is really not a big deal. Simply, they do not mind skipping four-minute halves against AI. They trust EA with this decision and expect a well-improved edition of FIFA this October.

PES 2021 has already released and the game is fetching great reviews. EA definitely has a huge FIFA fan base but it won’t underestimate the competition by Konami. This makes the October release of the game as important as ever.

Gameplay changes and career mode improvements

EA has introduced the ‘Quick Sim’ option this time which enables players to jump in and out of games to influence the direction of the season.

There is a new Active Training System to improve players’ abilities and the opposition AI has been enhanced. Apart from this, the game will also have improved controller haptics, lighting system, audio, and off-ball humanization.

For better Gameplay, FIFA is going to have new attacking systems like Agile Dribbling, Positioning Personality and Creative Runs that grant better player movement.

Goalmouth scrambles, possession battles, and attacking duels will help in a more realistic gaming experience.
