In my head it's like the PES 2013 from Fifa. Players weightless same as the ball but good AI.
But i prefers it than PES 2013 (no way than FIFA 14 and a lot of PES iterations).
Both games which are popular here / especially / but that i just don't have any sensation to play. Well, i don't like that much sliders as i played exclusively online and not so long offline and i was just "Yes, ok. Not a bad game but i don't like that and that and that... " i prefers tons of others PES aswell as other Fifa, so for me "better than PES 2021" (just to me) is blasphemy just to think that lol. But objectively and without affect for a type of gameplay they're probably very different but both pretty good.
The most lookalike game in terms of feeling is, at least to me... PES 13 but on animation steroid : weight shift etc. in Ignite is very basic and not pretty well represented to me, even less than their previous engine. And too much agility.
In fact, i hated Ignite and see a (fake) part of light with Fifa 17 Frostbite but they returned that engine like a toast. I got a better feeling on older and newer version.
My 2 favourite FIFA 14 especially PS4 as you can see how well that game have aged, and Ignite was only for animations fortunately.
But to me the best FIFA with the 11 on PS3... But i still believe that FIFA 14 aged by far much better, especially the PS4 version. There's no thread because unfortunately there wasn't any way to play the New gen version, but still the older version is graphically outdated but pretty good.
Still, it's a game i understood people who enjoy it (not the 15 for example : atrocious) but i don't get why it's place that high. Probably the AI fetishist lol, i'm more about realism in physics than in AI so... Matter of preference.
But you really tempt me to try a session on Semi/Manual for high through balls , no sliders as every time i try a game with slider i found the playability super weird, i'll never get used to it especially while dribbling and shooting.
Perhaps i will get another sensation that in the past, i played it a lot online and with assistance (it was fun at the time so)
But i repeat i will retry, sometimes the recoil is the key to understand how good a game could be... Or sometimes the opposite with a game i won't mention as i know some fans lol.
