FIFA has often caused frustration and ‘rage-quitting’ has become a prevalent term.
However, EA have acknowledged the FIFA Community and stated their quest to tackle “toxic behaviour” in FIFA 21.

As most FIFA fans will know, when it comes to those important games, there is a somewhat toxic atmosphere within the EA title.

In an interview with EuroGamer, Rivera stated:
“We were told by the community that there are toxic behaviours in the game and we wanted to make sure we removed them.”

We’ve all experienced it at one point or another. Ryan Kent bangs in a last minute winner to deny you Gold 3 in FUT Champs and then runs over to the camera shushing you as he does so, it’s pretty toxic!

EA has also confirmed that the ‘A-OK’ celebration – made famous by Spurs’ Dele Alli – will not feature in FIFA 21.
Mbappe Celebration
That being said, could there be worse celebrations to come in FIFA 21?
There has been no confirmation as to which new celebrations will be added, but recent footage of the game has shown Mbappe doing his trademark ‘cry-baby’ celebration to the camera.
