The Best and Most Unique Football Games of 2021

Football is a sport that thrills millions of people around the world. Played in more than 200 countries, football has always managed to sweep crowds along with it. We asked ourselves what could be more enjoyable than a 90-minute football match. 2021 gave us the answer: playing it! We've split up the best football games you can find into management and mobile games.

Best Football Games 2021

FIFA 21

Failing to generate much excitement outside of Ultimate Team, FIFA 21 disappointed a lot of players. Tougher defending and headers that just never seemed to go in cost FIFA 21 points with players. That said, the ’’ Stadium Customization ’’ feature and the changes to career mode are what earned FIFA 21 its spot on this list. Thanks to the additions to its ''career mode,'' FIFA 21 ended up resembling Football Manager a bit. During transfers you can now add a ’’buy option’’, and you can develop the players on your roster in a more specific way thanks to the new training feature. For most players, though, FIFA 21’s best detail was the fully customizable teams in ’’Pro Clubs’’ mode.

As always, the star of the show was Ultimate Team. Ultimate Team let us stack our squad with legends while giving us the fun of playing against opponents from every corner of the world.

eFootball PES 2021

Konami has managed to show up in front of players with changing game mechanics year after year. New camera angles, dribbling, shooting, passing and ball control, along with major changes made to the defense system, changed the game’s mechanics and made PES 2020 appealing to players. Konami has said there isn’t much of a change this year, describing eFootball PES 2021 as more of an ’’update’’ than a new game, and states that development continues for the next generation. Slower than the previous entry in the series, PES 2021 gives players a FIFA-like feel in this respect, but it isn’t fully settled yet. Making transfers has become more exciting now, though the club licenses that still can’t be obtained take a bit of the shine off.
