Fifa 21: Ranking Best Fifa Game Ever For Windows | Check System Requirements for PC

In the world of Sports Games, there is only one King. FIFA is the only franchise to dominate the Sports category by a huge margin. Everything related to football somehow revolves around FIFA.

The big question that constantly hit the fans is which FIFA game is the best? The new FIFA 21 will soon be old after EA roll out FIFA 22 in the upcoming months.

I have been playing every game of the franchise since the release of FIFA 09. Everything has changed in all these years but many people will debate about an older version of FIFA being better than the latest one. Since the start of my addiction to this game, I have been playing it on PC.

FIFA 21: Best FIFA game for windows

10 Best FIFA games for windows:

FIFA 19

It looks exactly like FIFA 18 with very few minor changes. A game filled with more bugs than any of their previous versions. The majority of the hardcore FIFA fans hate FIFA 19 and is termed as the worse version in recent years. The game had better graphics than FIFA 18 and it was the only better thing about it. The negative reviews make this version stand in the last position on this list.

9:FIFA 11

It contained more speed and accurate passing compared to the previous versions of the franchise. The Graphics were slightly better than their last version but that didn’t impress the audience much which makes it stand at the 9th position on this list.

8:FIFA 13 

The new feature of Ultimate Team Mode made the franchise more interesting as the player can make his own fantasy team. A major change of graphics from the previous version of FIFA 13. Overall it is a decent game for anyone who has a low-end system. The players and their kits look sharp and make this game more playable.

7:FIFA 12 

A great career mode with improved difficulty settings and strong graphics. It was worth every penny in 2012. The robotic feeling was starting to fade away in FIFA 12, the more realistic approach made it better than its previous versions. 

EA decided to change their technology and add more meaning to the game. The movement of the in-game players was made smoother. It is the first FIFA game to give defenders the freedom of doing more rather than just stand in the way of the attacker.

Overall it paved the way for FIFA’s domination over any other game in the market.

  • CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 2.66 GHz or AMD Athlon II X2 245e or up

6:FIFA 17

It came after a long wait with Marco Reus of Dortmund on the cover. This version was faster and smoother compared to FIFA 16 and 15. The player now had the option to make their own manager in the career mode. The unique Frostbite engine was first used in FIFA 17. The graphics were great but required a high-end system to run it.

Overall it was a decent update from the franchise.

5:FIFA Street 2

Launched in 2006 when people didn’t have many expectations from video games this one provided them with the most free-flowing FIFA game ever. The players get the option of doing some really difficult skills in a small ground with four side teams. 

This concept was the most realistic as many people don’t make it to the stadium. Almost 95% of people play in smaller turfs and roads which made FIFA Street a fan favourite. I don’t understand why they didn’t continue with this.

FIFA Street 2 System requirements:

  • OS: Windows XP or Windows 2000
  • CPU: 1.3 GHz Pentium III or equivalent (Athlon/Duron/Celeron)
  • RAM (memory): 256 MB

4:FIFA 09

Electronic Arts decided to take things ahead and bring the most unique concept of that time – Online Gaming. FIFA 09 is the birth of Ultimate Team and Pro Clubs. The company earns a lot from these two modes as players still buy their packs on daily basis.

The Graphics of FIFA 09 was slightly better than their last version. Some improvements in the gameplay were also seen. 

FIFA 09 System Requirements (Minimum)

  • CPU: Pentium III or higher, 2.6 GHz CPU(single-core)

3:FIFA 10

 

The updates made in this game are more than on any update from the franchise. The developers took great attention to the details of the audience and players. A list of 199 international teams was added to this game and they were playable too.

The foundation of manager mode was established in this game and it just got better with time. The game has the highest rating among other FIFA games on some websites including (Metacritic). 

The developers of FIFA 10 made the most crucial decisions that led to the success of this franchise.

2:FIFA 15

This game had everything it needed to be on the top of this list but because of lack of AI defence, it failed. The only reason why this game stands at the second position is because of the in-game music tracks. I bet everyone loved all the songs from FIFA 15 more than the game itself.

I remember making goals in FIFA 15 right after kick-off with Gareth Bale solo running towards the goal. The defence was poor in the highest difficulty level too and any player who noticed the defenders moving patterns can score easily.

A lot of low-end systems can run FIFA 15 and I would recommend those people to start from FIFA 15.

 FIFA 15 System Requirements (Minimum)

  • CPU: Intel Q6600 Core2 Quad @ 2.4Ghz (or AMD Phenom 7950 Quad-Core, AMD Athlon II X4 620 equivalent)

1:FIFA 14

The developers didn’t want their efforts to be limited and they decided to make FIFA 14 available on both Play Station and XBOX for the first time. The game was hugely hyped as the makers wanted FIFA 14 to look more interesting than any of its previous versions.

Major changes in overall graphics and player details. Animations were smooth and the players now react to being substituted or getting a red card. EA added the Ultimate Team Legends and FIFA Ultimate Team World Cup mode to fuel people with excitement. 

It’s clear that they wanted to make maximum profit from FIFA 14 and so they worked a lot on the graphics, detail and every part of the game.

Summary: 

 

In life, a game may be just as important as any personal relationship or more. Some people may rank these games differently because they loved a particular version of FIFA. Every game of this franchise comes with nostalgia and good memories. 

 

It all comes down to how long one played that game and how much he understood the game that led him to hate the new updates by the developers.

 

It is said that a person never forgets their first love. Likewise, a person cannot forget the first FIFA game he played. No matter how clean and realistic the new versions of the game look the closeness to the old games cannot disappear.
