      Verissimo signed for Benfica from Brazilian side Santos in January last year.
      He made his debut for his country in September last year during a World Cup qualifier against Peru which Brazil won 2-0.
      FIFA 23 has received widespread criticism since it’s release, with the games servers going down just hours after being released.
      Verissimo is also not the only player to have been left short with his face on the game, with a host of Arsenal stars including manager Mikel Arteta given rather unrepresentative faces.

      FIFA 21 demo AXED by EA Sports to focus on development for PS5 and Xbox Series X as fans fear game won’t be ready

      by

      EA SPORTS have confirmed FIFA 21 will NOT be getting a demo – amid fans’ concerns over the upcoming release.
      The latest edition of the annual video game comes out on October 6 and is once again expected to sell millions of copies.

      As well as being released on the current generation of consoles, FIFA 21 is being developed for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, which both arrive in November.
      That has led American developer EA to focus further efforts on development for the next generation, cutting the traditional demo as a result.
      EA confirmed: “We aren’t releasing a demo for FIFA 21.
      “Instead we’ve made the decision to focus our development team’s time on delivering the best full game experience for current & next-gen consoles.”

      The decision to bring out a full FIFA title this year contrasts with PES developer Konami, who are releasing a cut-price ‘season update’ game with minimal changes ahead of a full revamp in 2021.
      Both games, along with other annual sporting titles, have faced growing criticism over a lack of improvement between seasons.
      EA’s American Football game, Madden 21, came in for particularly poor reviews after its release last month.
      And, following the demo cancellation, fans are concerned that FIFA faces the same fate.

      We aren’t releasing a demo for FIFA 21.Instead we’ve made the decision to focus our development team’s time on delivering the best full game experience for current & next-gen consoles.We look forward to EA PLAY members jumping in 10 days from now and launching the game Oct 9.

      Twitter user Diego commented: “To not put out a demo when there’s only a week and some left is a pretty big sign they are behind or something in the gameplay is off.”
      Damien joked: “For fifa 21 demo play fifa 20.”
      Another remarked: “Is it gonna be that bad you can’t demo it??”
      One fan wrote: “No FIFA 21 demo hopefully these lot actually work on the game before its release.”

      FIFA 21 Ultimate Team most upgraded players with Mason Greenwood and Bukayo Saka both going up by 10 rating

      by

      MASON GREENWOOD and Bukayo Saka have been rewarded for their fantastic debut campaigns with a sharp increase in their FIFA 21 ratings.
      With Manchester United and Arsenal fans keen to see how their young stars fare in the latest edition of the video game, EA Sports have unveiled the most-improved players.

      5

      Mason Greenwood’s 17-goal haul for Manchester United impressed the FIFA selectors

      5

      Bukayo Saka is also among the most-improved stars of this year’s release

      Both Greenwood, 18, and Saka, 19, have received double-figure boosts after announcing themselves to the footballing world.
      With his primary position down as a right-midfielder, Greenwood comes in at 77, including 81 for pace and 78 for shooting.
      That marks a 10-point upgrade for the England international, the same increase given to Saka.
      The Arsenal wide-man now rates 75 with 84 for pace also his best asset, before a 77 for dribbling.

      Top of the pile for FIFA 21’s most improved players is Serie A breakout star Marash Kumbulla, up by 15.
      A relative unknown when promoted into the first-team of Hellas Verona last summer, the centre-back was highly impressive in his rookie year.
      At 20, Albanian international Kumbulla is reportedly being watched by Tottenham, Chelsea, Manchester United and Roma.
      New Juventus winger Dejan Kulusevski is bumped up by 13 along with Mexican youngster Sebastian Cordova.

      And there is little surprise to see Erling Haaland among the most-boosted stars, the Borussia Dortmund hitman rising by 11 to a strong rating of 84.

      Surprisingly, relegated Watford boast two of the most-improved players in left-back Pervis Estupinan, up by 11, and Luis Javier Suarez, up by eight.
      However, after impressive loan spells in Spain, both are likely to leave Vicarage Road in the coming weeks.
      Sheffield United’s rise to fight for European qualification sees two Blades stars among the most-improved for FIFA 21.
      John Lundstram bounces up by nine to 76 with George Baldock rising by eight to 77.

      Ten major changes to FIFA 21 including major upgrades on dribbling, shooting, pace and through balls

      by

      FANS are eagerly awaiting Fifa 21 after the latest trailer revealed a boatload of gameplay improvements.
      The EA Sports game is released across consoles and PC in October.

      And a raft of new details have emerged from what promises to be another groundbreaking new instalment of the ever-popular franchise.
      Here, SunSport delves into the ten most important changes being made for the new game.
      Overpowered No More
      Every year, the new Fifa promises to be more intelligent than the previous year and 21 is no different.
      This time around, the player’s tactical rating will affect their ability to deploy their stats for pace, dribbling and shooting – meaning lesser stars cannot dominate due to just one ability.

      Career Mode
      One of the most painfully ignored aspects of the franchise, career mode is set to be tweaked with fresh player growth, training and transfer systems.
      But if that sounds like too much, a new Interactive Match Sim mode allows players to simulate the more boring parts of matches and jump into the driver’s seat for key attacking and defending opportunities.

      A new trailer has shown off some new features for the seriesCredit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jmliox1trPQ
      Gameplay Rewind
      On kick-off mode, the abject sight of a major missed chance or fluffed free-kick routine will be a thing of the past.
      That is because Fifa are dropping in a new Rewind system, similar to that found in certain driving sims, to allow Bruno Fernandes that second chance at slotting home a penalty.

      Through Balls
      Along with a new ‘Long’ through ball option, Fifa 21 is trying to give players far greater variety when sending through a defence-splitting pass.
      The game is said to far better understand what is required to meet the attacker with a through ball, enabling better players to even curl and bounce passes through.

      Silky Movement
      One of the key desires of a Fifa gamer is having players act realistically to make the most of their traits.
      Next year’s Positioning Personality feature hopes to send top stars around the pitch in their most lifelike manner, bombing Jamie Vardy onto long lobs and dropping Raheem Sterling on the back stick for a perfectly timed finish.
      Creative Runs
      Speaking of which, more control is being granted over off-the-ball movement.
      Directed pass-and-go and directed runs allow the controller to seamlessly guide an attacker onto a pass – with the option to lock on and completely control just the one forward too.

      Dribbling
      It isn’t just about sweet passes and long-range rockets when it comes to besting your rival – thanks to Agile Dribbling.
      Skill moves may have been complained about in the past as overpowered yet Fifa 21 is aiming to add a fresh dose of unpredictability for defenders with more control over skills and dribbles.
      Natural Collisions
      Some of the series’ most comical mishaps have come when players tragically bang into each other before wobbling around in a jarring manner.
      Fifa 21 promises to smooth out the whole process of hitting the deck with a fresh set of animations.

      Time Wasting
      Hate watching your online opponent sit on a goal kick for an agonising amount of time?
      EA are set to knock this one on the head with a limit between 12 and 20 seconds for set-pieces, down from 30, with a bunch of setup animations dropped from online games.
      Competitor Mode
      Ever thought you were good enough to pack in your job, or school, and go pro on Fifa?
      Perhaps try out new Competitor Mode first, a new offline difficulty level even greater than Legendary – based around the intricacies and masterful handling of real-life professional gamers.
