    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

    Fifa 20 in a nutshell. Lackluster career mode with a few new features that actually seem to have broken the mode. Surprise mechanic team, also known as ultimate team is still a pay to win joke.

    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
    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?

    Gameplay has improved overall but the game has released in a dire state.
    Career mode is almost completely broken and not worth touching till its been patched.
    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

FIFA is going to be like nba live soon while PES will become like nba 2k and have more customers, i hope so only because then EA can put some effort and make a better game. Also, the online doesn't really require skill, the person that spends the most money will win, thats basically how it is in ultimate team, a complete scam. Expand

    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. Your teams AI feels like it has no idea how football works which is a stark contrast to the opposition AI which predicts so many passes its actually unbelievable. So dissapointed.

    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

    Rispetto al 19 , per certi aspetti , lo trovo addirittura peggiorato. Forse perché la fisica della palla deve ancora essere rielaborata ma quest'ultima ,in più di un'occasione , risulta incoerente nella maggior parte delle situazioni in campo ...
    Poiché per me il realismo è un mantra questo fifa non riesce ,se non in qualche rara occasione , a trasmettere profondità ' quindi 3.5 su10

On co-op pro club drop-ins, your teammates could care less about team play, and they constantly embarrass themselves and their teammates with horrifically blind/selfish play styles. 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. Volta is neat, but gets old quick. This is a rent only, unless you have a die-hard group of Fifa friends that know how to play the right way, otherwise this game is just constant frustration and a reminder of how shi**y now a day adolescents are.

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.

    So when they were on the right path (The Journey was an awesome idea) they killed it and introduced Volta which is useless, repetitive, boring and pointless. Despite the huge advertising EA did, Career mode is still full with bugs and is the same since 4/5 years. If you dont give a **** about UT like I do then it's a NO GO

    Slower than version 19. For me, gameplay is better but still too arcade.
    Volta (street football) is horrible boring.
    As always many activities in FUT make this game not so bad despite not very interesting gameplay and scripting moments.

    FIFA 20 is a better football simulation in overall compared to FIFA 19, but it’s still lagging behind its main competitor greatly. EA is losing the race to Konami, at least in this generation of consoles, where they used to dominate.
