    Introduction - As a casual player this year’s FIFA 20, the brand-new installment in EA’s mega sports game in their highly successful FIFA series does not disappoint it comes with a new mode, some surface-level changes and changes to a few of the game mechanics but still disappoints due to not nailing some basic level fundamentals and EA’s new direction being way more focused on its online mode Ultimate Team which shows where EA’s priority for the game lies in.

    Gameplay and Graphics - As a player playing the videogame for several years, the change in its gameplay and graphics can be seen as minimal and can be compared to the previous games from FIFA 14 after EA changed the game engine to its own inhouse built Unreal engine. However, when it comes to the changes introduced in the mechanics of the gameplay, while good still lacks the accuracy delivered by its direct Rivals PES by KONAMI. Some of the major changes in the gameplay mechanics are more focused on pace and defending. This change makes high ball situations (corners and crosses) far harder to crack.

    Modes - Some of the major changes that I felt EA has brought into this year’s edition is the new VOLTA game mode. It picks up the narrative duties with a tale about a young streetball player called Revy. Outside Volta, there are numerous additions to other modes in FIFA 20. Career Mode has been a shelter for those who don’t play Ultimate Team over the years, though the returns have been diminishing with it clear where EA’s loyalties lie. Some impressive changes were promised for FIFA 20, but they, unfortunately, become a chore instead of anything meaningful within just a couple of hours.

    Players and Managers - This time out, players can now customize their managers from a selection of presets with there being sadly little room for customization. Either by talking to them directly or mentioning them at press conferences, you can either boost their morale with compliments or lower it by criticizing them heavily. The problem here is that your squad’s morale seems to have next to no real effect on their performance on the pitch, so the busy work of answering three very repetitive questions before and after every match feels completely pointless. Players can approach you with their concerns and you can finally reply in FIFA 20, but the impact of any decision you make is barely noticeable. It’s a decent concept, but the poor execution means that the gleam of Career wears off quickly and leaves you feeling like, again, you’re just back playing FIFA 19.    … Expand

    First off, presented with unskippable cutscenes on the first street match which I kept losing to absolutely ridiculously bad player switching which simply doesn't work at all, you could have the player you control literally in the opposite corner or even off screen entirely and your opponents taking shots and it still will not change to the closest player, the controls automatically assume you know everything, with the only on-screen controls to tackle and run.

    Retrying this street match continues the unskippable intro which grated on me, didn't cost me anything to and promptly uninstalled, would not recommend even for free, I don't need to go into detail because the in-depth reviews I see here more or less explains how appalling this title is.

    Pros:
    - Funny gameplay
    - Authentic player feeling
    - Perfect scalable: adjusting difficulty to your needs and playing abilities

    The missing capability can be found in mechanics e.g. corners and a missing a missing random mode (performance of soccer player is not every day the same)

    Most of the time when games are review bombed on Metacritic, it's an overreaction. However, this is one of those cases when it is fully deserved. FIFA 20 is total garbage.

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 to think i actually paid for this garbage. That was the worst $17.99 i spent on a video game in my life and I buy a lot of cheaper games that are more enjoyable and refreshing to play. The mental anguish caused by the lack of actually being able to have a good time playing what is supposed to be considered entertainment. FIFA 20 is so far the crappiest of the FIFA franchises. It seems that there is no interest in making this game an enjoyable glitch free game or improving the servers on which the game is reliant on.

    Play anything else but this game. Do anything else but play this game. Anyone old enough to remember Snakes game on visual basic or Ericsson phones? Play that instead. You will feel good about yourself doing anything else other than playing this game online.

    Walking barefoot over a bed of nails dipped in lava is probably way more enjoyable than this. Having to listen to your mother in law nag at you for 14 hours on a road trip is more enjoyable than this game. Sitting through a lecture on an environmental study over the aggregation of pollutants into potable water through soil drainage is more enjoyable than playing this game.

    Once you begin playing you will instantly regret why you sat down to waste hours upon hours achieving nothing except unrelenting aggravation.    … Expand

    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.
