FIFA 21 also offers many ways to communicate and navigate through the game. While playing with friends you can turn on speech-to-text which will turn their spoken word into text you can read. You can also turn on text-to-speech which will allow the words you type in the chat window to turn into speech other players can hear. Additionally, the game also offers subtitles that when turned out will play through the story in VOLTA FOOTBALL.

Need help keeping track of the ball? FIFA has many auto features. This includes auto switching which helps you to switch between passes, so you are always in control of the ball.

In this game you can change the size of the player indicator. This is the red triangle that appears above the player you are currently using in the game.

FIFA 21 also has various controls options. You can remap any of the controls in the Customise control menu by holding the A or cross button and selecting the button on the screen that you want to replace it with. You can choose one or two button controller layout that will reduce the number of controls you use to perform basic moves.

You can also remap the right stick and bumper/trigger buttons or right stick and keyboard equivalent buttons to the left side as well. These options can be helpful for players who have trouble using their right hand or need another type of configuration to play.

You can also adjust many volume settings as well.  For example, you can adjust commentary language and volume, music sound effects, menu volume, and much more.

FIFA 21 also has agile dribbling which will make your player perform dribbling routines in certain situations during gameplay. This setting can be great for beginners who are learning to play.

We hope you will take to the field with us this year and enjoy playing FIFA 21. For more information, please visit the official website
