    Save £30 and buy FIFA 19.

    EA were supposed to fix the bugs in this game and also give us a new exciting career mode. Instead, they give us some useless rubbish like interviews which have zero bearing on what happens. The same old rubbish is here. EA will never get it unless people boycott buying it, but unfortunately gamers are not wise enough to do so

    I still enjoyed playing this years FIFA 20 though since I mostly play Career-mode, this game might not be for me since it seems to be so buggy. I don't understand what kind of mismanagement has lead to this.

    I still enjoyed playing this years FIFA 20 though since I mostly play Career-mode, this game might not be for me since it seems to be so buggy. I don't understand what kind of mismanagement has lead to this.
    In my opinion EA has become a horrible company. Just adding lootboxes to FIFA/FUT since there's money to be made of people (often perhaps kids?) who have a tendency to become addicted to these kind of "gambling" mechanics. The game modes that are appreciated by long-time FIFA players like career-mode are treated with no respect and very little effort. It seems like their software-developers and testers aren't given enough time to develop or improve this mode and it's even gotten a lot worse compared to FIFA 19.
    Volta is the only slight upside/improvement that's at least kinda original though in my opinion the first FIFA street, though more Arcady, was more fun. Whoever is managing EA should be ashamed of themselves. They've managed to continuously lower the quality of almost all of their game-franchises. It seems like there is a pure focus on profits, stock-value and shareholders. If they don't improve things quickly sales will hopefully drop. And fellow gamers, please stop spending money on FUT-packs and other micro transaction nonsense. Since EA won't, if gamers can't, I hope governments will step in and outlaw all of these gambling-mechanics in games, at the very least for all games without an age restriction. Since when is it ok for kids to gamble, EA?

    Squads have not been updated to their real life counter parts. And as i write this the transfer market in FUT is not working at all. Along with out of date commentary and and a broken single player experience it is not worth buying

    Passing is awful, the players have gone from feeling like they're stuck in mud in fifa 19 to feeling like they're on ice skates.

    This summer we had so many expectations, but many things weren't fixed, like the "kick of glitch" or the last minute goals. The game looks like it was focused only on FUT and not all the other vital gameplay modes. At this point they could have made a game only about that.

    I buyed the game like the most just to play ultimate team and it started very bad for me. Not like my friends i encountered serious bugs which limits my experience. But after hours of phone support I got it fixed (more or less). Bugs aside EA did a good job with the system of ultimate team (not the game play). Its very up-to-date and there are many things to do. But when it comes to gameplay this game is a mess. You literally cant play it on the evening (on the weekend) because the server cant handle it. Thats not contemporary. Some other notes: You can't play your personal music and you really can't turn off tracks you don't like at least on my version of the game (which was buggy). Furthermore you have to select your language every single time you start the game. Which developer is responsible for this?!

    The core gameplay sucks. Glitches, bugs and broken mechanics stain the gameplay heavily to a point where sometimes it’s almost unplayable

    Career mode
    Career mode has gotten a few new features, but the majority of these features get boring after a while. The only new feature that doesn’t get boring is the new manager customisation, but players will most likely not use the feature after they have already created their manager. The new press conference were fun the first few times you did them, but you just get the same questions and answer them all the same way you did the last 100 times. Player Morale and the new Player chat feature is completely broken. For example, I have a player that constantly complains about not getting enough game time (despite him getting more game time than a majority of players I have) but his player morale is still very happy. There are also broken glitches that ruin the experience. Examples of these glitches are; Multiple teams getting 100+ points in one season, Teams putting out their weakest possible teams in every single game, League lasts 60 games instead of the usual 38, the Champions and Europa League will stop working after a few seasons and many more ridiculous glitches. Career mode was so broken, #FixCareerMode was trending on Twitter early on in Fifa 20’s lifespan.

    Ultimate Team
    Let’s face it, Ultimate team is basically just an online casino. Microtransactions are one of the worst things to be brought in to the gaming industry. Now, I will admit that some of the new features in Ultimage Team are pretty neat, like new challenges, new friendlies modes and even a new battle pass. However, the chances of getting anything amazing in packs are very low and EA keep adding broken cards like Ryan Kent, Ben Yedder and Adama Traore. Plus, kit SBCs are sometimes extremely overpriced, and for no real reason. Also, Divison Rivals and Weekend League are tideous Modes that are just full of annoying players and No Loss Glitch merchants.

    Volta
    No one cares about Volta. It is such a pointless mode that barely anyone plays. Hell, you couldn’t even play with your friends in this mode, but you could play a dreadful story mode instead, which was somehow even worse than EA’s other sorry excuse of a story mode; The Journey.

    Pro Clubs
    Pro clubs has a little bit of a cult following. I’ll be honest, I don’t see the appeal. However, there are a lot of players who love the mode, but EA neglect it so much that there isn’t really any point of the game mode being included.

    Others
    There are a bunch of minor modes in Fifa like online seasons and skill moves, however nobody really plays them. The Soundtrack is pretty good, but I think every Fifa game has a good soundtrack. The create a player mode hasn’t changed much and The Women’s football mode still has only 2 uses; play as them in Kick off and play a women’s international tournament.

    Conclusion
    Even though I think this the best FIFA since FIFA 15, it is still a colossal failure. Just play PES 2020.

    Final Verdict: 4/10

When you call them out, they laugh like little girls because, obviously they are far down in the ladder of life. The graphics and gameplay havn't improved much or at all.

Still not a huge rework of career mode and pro clubs which both are largely needed. Volta nothing like the streets games we love.

    I've bought every FIFA since 06 to 19, but not buying this one, 5 hours in the ea access, and the rest ill just use up for some pro clubs. I'd rather continue my 19 carreers and still booting up the ps3 for some street action. Might buy PES, better and more realistic gameplay, still not as smooth as the FIFA games though, but overall better.

    I'm sorry but PES is better this year, more leagues, more teams, actually has the Juventus logo, the ultimate team in pes actually rewards you and doesn't require you to spend money, the gameplay is fast and you feel like you actually make a impact. Also this is the opposite for FIFA 20. The only thing good about FIFA 20 is Volta but it's not worth 60 bucks

If you felt that Fifa19 was scripted, welcome to 20! If you try to play in a different way than the game wants you to, you will be very frustrated, so it's still a matter of learning what EA wants from you. So, don't use your football intelligence, because you will lose, and your rating will suffer due to either being out of position a lot of the time or passing where a player should be, only to find he stopped his run.

    Gameplay is still shockingly poor, although entertaining at times (on an arcade level). Ball and player physics are unfortunately far too unrealistic. AI players are extremely arbitrary. Sometimes you can run past defenders like they were cones, escpecially as they tend to run over to mark someone else when you run down the middle, whereas in the next game they're rock solid and tackle through you (yes, literally!) to win the ball, or even clear crosses with fab bicycle kicks.

    Honestly, 20 feels like a downgraded version of 19. All the annoyances and errors from last year are still present in ProClubs, only now you have to start over with your Pro. They have even added a new annoyance, in the form of pain-in-the-butt free kicks and penalties. They have also introduced new errors, which will hopefully be ironed out during the next 300 2 gig updates.

    The game has definitely taken a step back in my mind. Although the game has a slight more realistic feel when it comes to the pace and style of the game it is ruined by one Werner or Salah run. It does not matter if you set your defense to sit back farther or to pinch in giving away the outside of the field, or vice versa to stay wide giving away the side lines, this game demands the ability to stop every ball into space and you simply cannot. And I know someone is going to read this and blab about how easy it is to solve that and you know?.. good for you guy because I cannot afford to buy the fastest and best CB and I'm definitely not going to throw my money away for EA.

    More importantly they have once again done almost nothing to fix the career mode as many of these other reviews say. None of us care about the press conferences or the ability to change what our manager looks like. While they are nice added touches its like not a single person has ever read any complaints.

    The one thing that I think I will disagree on with many players is the pro clubs. Most people like the changes that were made here but I have to say I think its cheap to just give everyone an 80 to start off. Not that having to start in the high 60s was that desirable back in fifa 12 or 13 but it was for sure better than having to put in no work at all.

    Basically, the game is 1000% geared towards those that are willing to throw away money and do not want to put work into the game like they used to. I hope that pisses people off but I know there are some older players out there that agree with me.

    FIFA 20 was an unsuccessful attempt to create a football game that would outperform others, the mistakes are more continuous and are always serious, that EA Sports does not recreate any games because it is a few misfits who program this, the WORST game of the year without hesitation.

From FIFA 19 to 20, the game feels like you need to spend tens of hours mastering the new body positioning dynamics to just have an enjoyable game playing. 50/50 challenges should be indeed that, 50/50, however now 50/50 challenges where one player (attacker or defender) seem more like your on the losing end of 90/10. A player who is challenged by World Class difficulty on FIFA 19 will become intensely frustrated on semi-pro on FIFA 20.
    Ball control and passing is significantly harder this year. Instead of being a game where someone with little experience can pick up the controller and score some nice looking ,and well crafted, goals. You will find yourself asking "what, how did that happen?" On a positive note, the new Volta football is very nice addition to the game.

    Look away from FIFA 20. It's really not worth your money, time or storage space on your Playstation, Xbox or Switch.

The core concept of the game is promising, but the execution couldn't have been worse!

Tackling is now almost completely impossible to time properly. Speed is awarded in big fashion. You can no longer play great but rather slow attackers. I've tried Lewandowski and I would rather play another attacker with 70 overall rating and 95 pace. And Lewandowski is not even that slow. I also rage quit every other game over the bad keeper movement and sheer amount of mistakes the keepers make. Every game a goal is scored against me from a keeper bounce back after a save. This has gotten worse since last year. I think I might consider quitting this game for good. It seems ea could learn a thing or two from Konami these days.
