EA Sports stands firm and denies the existence of the “handicap” in its soccer saga. The company came out to deny a possible “help” for some gamers in the video game and made it clear that in FIFA 21 everything unfolds according to the performance in the virtual field.
“As already mentioned on other occasions, there is no scripted game, ‘handicap’ or ‘momentum’ in the game. We will try to summarize some details below: we built a soccer simulator implementing different concepts of real soccer. These concepts include a system error and physics that bring variety and authenticity to the game. By recreating the details of football, all the results of real life are possible, “the company explained on Twitter.

He added that “every year we actively try to reduce in-game situations that feel haphazard and out of the user’s control and we continue to make progress in this area every year. From a game design perspective, there is absolutely no need to implement systems to artificially influence the outcome of the game, as everything mentioned above already creates a soccer experience for our players. “
From EA they were reiterative and mentioned that “As explained in the past, the only time our game adjusts the CPU AI difficulty (offline only) is during the introductory game that tries to determine which offline difficulty level is best suited for the player. Of course, we are pleased to continue to receive feedback on situations where we feel they are not in complete control of the user and will continue to make improvements in this area. “
With this, it is clear that FIFA 21 there will be no handicap and it will all be about the skill of the players on the virtual field. The video game will be released on October 9 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, while the versions of PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X will arrive at the end of 2020.
