Player Review
95 - TOTS
It's easy to blame goalkeepers for gifting easy goals on FIFA 21, but what I have experienced with every version of Neuer is beyond me. The main problem with him is that he has these weird animations were he tries to save the ball without diving (he stands still trying to emulate that save he did against CR7). Now I appreaciate that EA has put that into the game, but when he does that every single time instead of diving to save a ball ball that goes less than a meter away from him is frustrating to say the least. Not to mention when balls go beneath him when the rival has the ball near it's feet and go past you.
Bottom line is he is not good at saving low and medium height shots, for the price he is, pretty underwhelming. EA should realize that while it's nice that they did an homage to that save, that animation just makes him unusable when he is giving away goals your average goalkeeper should save. Unfortunately he is the only "good" goalkeeper from the Bundesliga so if you are going for a Bundesliga team like myself you pretty much have no much options available (besides HL Hradecky maybe)
Speed
Kicking
Positioning
Bad animations which prevents him from diving 9 out of 10 times.
Reflexes
Handling (honestly feels like he has butter on his gloves)
