This is ultimately the downfall of pes and fifa as sane as ten year ago this hasn't changed and most of your wins and losses isn't down to your skill or ability it's down to poor AI which doesn't happen on any other games I no of.

    Worst Fifa edition in the last 10 years. Gameplay in FUT sucks!! Finishing is harder than ever and an average 80 rated GK will block 8/10 shots from an 90 rated POM Lewandowski.

I played in FIFA 19 with a legendary difficulty and despite scripts it was pretty even, but now with a legendary I can't do nothing with my team. They are passing the ball like boys in the school pitch. Direction of passes differs from that what I want, they are either too strong or too weak. The tackles are so OP to the AI that I don't have time to properly turn around my player to the other direction after receiving the ball and AI player already takes it from me (even with holding 'cover the ball' button). I can honestly say that the 90% of all goals I lost in the career mode were due to handicapped pass or tackle.… Expand

    Fifa 20 boasts a decent graphical update from its predecessor but stops improving fairly quickly after that. The game still regularly creates situations where it feels like the game is cheating against the player. This is especially prevalent in Career Mode, which has been sorely neglected this year. The game will frequently, and arbitrarily, create artificial difficulty through forcing the player's team to make mistakes DEEPLY uncharacteristic of the team or specific player. Impressive sprinters like Lionel Messi or Heung-min Son struggle to get past defenders with an AVG in the mid-70s. Maestro crossers like Kevin De Bruyne will sport accuracy befitting of a Sunday league winger. The list goes on.

    This blatant handicapping has gotten worse over the past few iterations of the franchise, and EA continues to insult its player base's intelligence by denying there is any presence of scripting or momentum shifting code. Regardless of whether whatever system is causing this was added intentionally or not, EA has summarily failed to remedy how often this game franchise creates infuriating situations where the player does not feel in control of their own team.

    FUT is still the only feature that gets development time, which is to be expected when the majority of the audience is 20-somethings spending hundreds, or even thousands of dollars a month on packs for players. I will not be purchasing any more titles in the FIFA franchise in the foreseeable future. The only reason this is not a 0/10 is that the game actually launches and can be played. Beyond that, it's just not fun    … Expand

Carrer is broken, the matches are COMPLETELY scripted, you could easily win vs a top team and then lose with a second leauge one with no reason and shooting 30 times on goal. I play with Parma on wolrd class difficulty and it is all damn broken. Bugged shots from 30 meters, impossible to score a penalty or a free kick, defenders always out of positioning. Not to mention the useless thing about pre match interview and after match, a useless way to somehow boost your players just giving the same answer anytime and still won't change maybe you win a couple of matches but you lose the decisive one. And I don't want to play lower difficulty were I win 3 -0 100% of times..

    Terrible game with no improvement from last year FIFA 19. The game got worse instead. This game is broken from career mode to the core gameplay. They even use the same cutscenes for the game. I don't know how they'd even expect people to spend money for FIFA 21 after this. Such a terrible game from one of the worst if not the worst game developer.

FIFA 20 is total garbage.

    There are many minor things that I could talk about, such as the user interface, which is clearly not designed for mouse and keyboard input, or the intrusive, unskippable cinematics. However, I'm going to focus on the big problems because there are enough of those to fill a whole review.

    Mouse and keyboard controls are completely broken, and the limited customization they offer doesn't allow you to fix it. Namely, since you have to use the relative position of the mouse to control player movement, your player will constantly get dragged out of position as the camera moves around. For example, if your player is off-screen (for example because you're playing a striker, but your goalkeeper has the ball) you will be forced to run toward wherever the camera is (even if that drags you "out of position", resulting in you being penalized). It's even worse if you have multiple monitors; there is no way to lock the focus to the current window, so you will often accidentally tab out if you are trying to move your player to the side. I've been a PC gamer for 8 years and I have never played a worse PC port than this.

    Let's go onto the actual gameplay. As with every other EA Sports franchise, career mode has been neglected in favor of microtransactions in the form of FUT. It's literally the same as ten years ago, with updated graphics and not a single notable new feature (in fact I get the impression that they have even taken away features over the years). But let's suppose you're content with that... how does the actual soccer hold up? Clearly EA has put a lot of effort into developing more realistic movement, physics, and animations, but the gameplay still sort of sucks.

    AI teammates frequently misplace passes in the most cartoonish, unrealistic manner, i.e. hitting the ball less than half of the distance to their target, and all AI opponents just use the same wing play tactics over and over again. Long ball for the wingers to run onto, and cross into the box. It's really incredible how boring it gets after a while, and it's clear someone at EA doesn't understand this sport. Possibly the most annoying thing is AI teammates' tendency to pass the ball straight into pressure- often when you come under pressure from an opponent and pass the ball to them, they will pass it right back so that you are "forced" into being tackled with no chance to respond or maintain possession.

    Then there's the same scripted feel as every other FIFA game where sometimes. Without fail, the AI defenders get an obvious speed boost when chasing down attacking players that are supposedly much faster than them. Sometimes your player will take one or two extra touches after you've already pushed the button to shoot, just to give the defender the chance to recover before you can get the shot off. Sometimes the game somehow decides that your team needs to lose a game, and apparently no one- either your controlled player or an AI teammate- is able to complete a simple pass or tackle. The in-game referees are laughably inconsistent to the point that the AI can slide tackle straight through the back of my player in the penalty box, get nowhere close to the ball, and somehow it's not a foul, but somehow 30 seconds later when I do a clean sliding tackle from the front in midfield and get all ball, it's a straight red card.

    And also year after year they TOTALY fu*k penalty and free kicks system, and this year they invented a new stupid model, one invented by a flashlighted mind who lives in Canada and play hockey his entire life, but now it does fifa!

    -Animation for double defending is again, G.A.Y. Every time you call for a player to help, he must go from BEHIND his opponent, it doesn't matter he came from 20 meters in front of him, it must go from BEHINDE all the time. No wonder in Canada the government pay you to change your gender, bealh, but c'mon, keep this sh*t out of games, oke EA Canada !?

    -Running with the ball at your feet feels so griped for your players as if stepping on their own testicles, while for Ai, everything seems so cursive and smooth
    -Offside is dead, you press now, they will execute tomorrow, eventually...
    -Ball interception for Ai is super great, their players work at 360 degrees while yours sucks with an angle of interception of no more than 60 degrees or less.
    -Players reactions, for Ai is great, crap players from ♥♥♥ing teams with over of 60, have super reactions like Superman, while your top players are like snailman
    -The G.A.Y referees, must always dress in same colors as opponent team...since version FIFA X, they never fix this **** and this is so confusing =)))

    Building a football game in a country that knows only winter sport, especially hockey, is idiotic as fu*k! Is like for for canadians, their beloved hockey game NHL, would be built in Somalia by people who never saw snow or ice. Also most. EA should move the PRODUCTION of this game into a country with people that really knows what football is

    And it's the same FIFA 19, 18, 17

    For now, FIFA 20 is better than the previous edition in terms of gameplay, and that’s somewhat sufficient. But it dropped the excellent The Journey single-player only to replace it with a stale mode. With a little luck, we might get to play Volta outside of FIFA when it belongs. To sum it up, as Comrade Dyatlov points out, it’s not great, not terrible. For any other game, this would be a bad thing, but for FIFA’s microtransaction model, it’s everything that Electronic Arts hopes for.
