Toxic celebrations will disappear from FIFA 21

In the upcoming FIFA 21, EA will address some of the "celebrations" that make life difficult for players and negatively affect the gameplay.

EA doesn't like controversy in its games; they are to be neutral in terms of worldview and not offend anyone. It actually works, but even in a game like FIFA, players have found a way to humiliate and upset their opponents. In FIF there were some celebrations (celebrations after goals scored) that were extremely irritating for the side that had just conceded a goal.

As reported by Eurogamer, Sam Rivera (lead producer of the gameplay) stated that “The community told us there was toxic behavior in the game, so we wanted to make sure we remove it. As a result, we have removed the celebrations from the game that users believe should not be in it. " One of them lasted extremely long and was remembered by the players very negatively. Of course, we are talking about the celebration of silencing the rival, which was performed while running, holding the right knob leaned to the right. It caused the footballer to run for a good dozen or so seconds on the pitch, silencing the opponent with his finger against his mouth. This gesture was extremely irritating, because it extended the duration of the game and simply frustrated the losing player in the world.

The second celebration that allegedly annoyed players was the famous "A-OK" gesture from Tottenham Dele Alli, which went to FIF just a year ago. It was abused due to being new and, like the characteristic "dab" of Paul Pogba, he had overeated a few editions of the game in the first months of the title's life cycle. However, you should ask yourself why this gesture will disappear from the game, while the Frenchman's annoying celebration remains available over the years? One can only guess that the withdrawal of "okejka" from Call of Duty was not unnoticed in the video game environment, because it was supposedly racist. So it is possible that EA followed Activision. It is not known how the FIFA community will perceive this step. The behavior of Electronic Arts may seem strange because Dele Alli is black, and his celebration is significantly different from the typical "ok". Not only will we save some time on celebrations, because Kotaku also points out that EA will shorten the time provided for permanent game fragments or certain "cut-scenes". It cannot be denied that in a match it is difficult to find anything more annoying than players extending it indefinitely. It remains to be hoped that the steps taken by the Canadians will lead to an increase in the smoothness of the game, and the new FIFA will be remembered positively. FIFA 21 will debut on PC, Xbox One, PS4 and Nintendo Switch on October 9 this year. The release date for PS5 and Xbox Series X is not yet known, but it is speculated that it will be around the premiere of new consoles.
