It's always been all or nothing in FIFA career mode - either users played a match or simulated it entirely.
But in FIFA 21, EA Sports has added a semi-simulation match feature that will give players more control over their team than ever before.
Now users will be able to watch a Football Manager-style 'dot simulation' of their match, with the ball pinging around on a mini 2D field, then with the push of a button be able to jump in and control their players like they would in a normal match.
