FIFA 21 Ultimate Team: 7 Things We Already Know

6. Real World Referees

Finally, EA has added real-world referees to FIFA.

It feels like this is something that we should have got long ago but for whatever reason haven't. Usually, FIFA just made their own referees with generic made-up names. It didn't make much sense that we were using real players with fake referees if we're honest.

Anyway, at last, EA has included real refs in the game. So far, the only ref confirmed is Mike Dean. Now referees can get stick from irate fans both in the real world and the virtual one.

This one is a small change but a welcome one, as it adds to the continuity within the game. While we're on the topic of referees, we may as well mention that advantage can now be stopped with a press of a button - a welcome change for sure....
