7 Most Exciting New Features Announced In FIFA 21 Reveal

Ultimate Team has become the main mode in FIFA and everything within the game is geared towards driving players here. There were only two updates given on Ultimate Team, but both were important. The first was that if you upgrade consoles from PlayStation 4 and Xbox One you can take your Ultimate Team with you. This makes a lot of sense to give people that further incentive to buy the game on day one.

However, the more exciting news was that FUT Co-Op will be introduced. This will allow you to play with a friend on the same team in Division Rivals and Squad Battles.

In recent years, Pro Evolution Soccer has had a really good Co-Op mode which included being able to play in their version of Ultimate Team, My Club, with a friend. This is arguably one of PES’ strongest points so to bring this idea across to FIFA is the most exciting update in terms of the modes themselves.

For many, after the initial few months of the yearly cycle, Ultimate Team can become a grind and not very exciting. This should change that and potentially increase the longevity for a lot of players.

It also might see EA Sports add these elements to their competitive esports scene which could be groundbreaking for the football market if done right.
