FIFA 21 Legacy Edition (Switch) Review - IGN

If last year’s release was borderline insulting, this year’s is just plain disgraceful.

Such a chad.

That's one point less than God Hand got.

Surprise IGN doing something right.
Congrats.
Keep that good work.

 

[TheDrunkenMerchant]

Wow. That's clever, funny, and totally reasonable. Good job IGN.

For a change.

 

[Orky]

People will still buy it. Vote with your wallet. This is the only way to change this behavior.

 

[Bonfires Down]

Most people just buy them for the updated rosters anyway, right?

 

[Effigenius]

People will still buy it. Vote with your wallet. This is the only way to change this behavior.

All That will change is EA will stop putting FIFA on switch At all and cite poor sales.

 

[Bernkastel]

huh

 

[PSYGN]

huh

huh

 

[Compsiox]

It's just for the Switch version. The other versions have a 7/10.

Edit: I guess that's made clear but I'd love to see them shit on the major versions.

 

[Tchu-Espresso]

FIFA is a horrible representation of how the sport plays, even at its best.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Lol if you buy FIFA in the first place. Might as well burn your money.

 

[LostDonkey]

So incredibly brave.

 

[hemo memo]

Thats pretty great on IGN'S part.

Soccer, the sport of faeries.

 

[Kamina]

 

[nyr88nyg]

They copy and paste every sports game though.

huh

Whoa my eyes are burning. What theme is that and better yet why would anyone use it?

 

[Bernkastel]

Default GAF theme.

 

[Kamina]

The fact that EA have no shame writing this shows how far gone they really are.

 

[Rentahamster]

huh

 

[SumJester]

All That will change is EA will stop putting FIFA on switch At all and cite poor sales.

You say this like it's a bad thing

 

[DeeDogg_]

That's pretty great on IGNs part

[A.Romero]

That's one point less than God Hand got.

I still don't get why such a low score. Even if you don't like the game, character design alone should take it to at least a 6...

 

[30yearsofhurt]

So what are they reviewing? The game or EAs business practices?

 

[Self]

This is hilariously cool. That's the way IGN!

 

[jigglet]

You guys are so fucking naive about how the world works.

Sure, if you buy this game, EA will just keep releasing this same shit. But have you ever considered what will happen if you don't buy it? We'll fail yet another test, and EA will just keep releasing this same shit.

 

[Same ol G]

The fact that EA have no shame writing this shows how far gone they really are.

I don't know if it's ea or nintendo, this already started on 3ds.
It always looked like nintendo giving you a heads up that it's the same game with roster changes.

 

[Orta]

The industry would be better off without EA. An absolute stain upon it.

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

Hot take.



IGN is also lazy.

 

[kingpotato]

That's cool AF, flipped to light to see what it would look like and was not disappointed

 

[Damigos]

Thats pretty great on IGN'S part.

 

[cormack12]

Would be good if they also applied the same to the other EA games. I notice a pattern with this and it was the same with the previous generation. Places like the BBC and IGN get the balls to actually criticise EA at the end of the generation, the last hurrah. Then EA start sayig 'big overhaul, brand new systems' and then release the same game again and then they get their 9 scores back. Anyway, it's good ot see it called out ......

 

[Kumomeme]

Thats pretty great on IGN'S part.

 

[Jason28]

EA is just milking that marioboys who are thirsty for a football game.

 

[Hudo]

Problem is that there's no alternative for a good football game, so EA can basically get away with shit like this.

Love that IGN's review is delicious copypasta.

 

[Tschumi]

God tier justice

 

[Faenrir]

Why shouldn't they, when the game is basically a roster update ?

huh

My eeeeeyes, myyy eyyyyyyeeeees !
>< seriously, use force dark theme for everything and select it when it's available. Your eyes will thank you.

 

[Faenrir]

please delete this, accidental double post.

please delete this, accidental double post.

Just edit it to read "Thats pretty great on IGN'S part."
