The upshot is FIFA 21 is at this early stage a lot of fun, as it is watching the Premier League this season, but let's be honest, the defending is atrocious and everyone just needs to calm down a bit. I'd call the whole thing entirely unrealistic - and let's remember EA is trying to create a football simulation here - but given recent results in the Premier League perhaps the developers knew the way the wind was blowing and thought they'd let their hair down. I'm not sure whether this is the result of defending feeling a lot trickier than it has done in recent years, or that defenders sometimes feel improbably sluggish, or that shooting from pretty much anywhere is reliable (finesse long shots are very much back), or that the goalkeepers don't seem much use at all, but I often score five or six goals per game and concede just as many, if not more.
