The verdict
A polished, familiar football sim whose offline career and local play still shine, but EA shut down online servers and its anti-cheat blocks launching for many. Skip it if you want online or Ultimate Team.
Great for
Offline career mode fans and couch play with friends who prefer FIFA over the newer FC games
Main risk
Online modes and Ultimate Team are dead, and the anti-cheat may stop the game launching
What changed in the last 30 days
5 recent reviews
Recent reviews lean positive, with players saying the game still holds up after three years and beats EA FC. The sample has few recent reviews, so the reason is not certain.
