    A new Volta mode lights up a bumper footy package, but FIFA could do with an overhaul. [Issue#183, p.75]

    FIFA 20 floods the player with content and so many things to do, so many way to play. But there’s nothing really new, which means that even the flaws from the previous game are still here.

    FIFA 20 is quite similar to the previous version in its intentions. It's all about attack, dribbling and even if defense has been a bit tweaked, it's easy to see EA Sports wants to offer spectacular football before realism. Those who are okay with this vision will love it, and some additions like Volta, very pleasant, are, with a better Career mode and an always addictive FUT, will help to keep playing it for the whole year, until FIFA 21.

    FIFA has never been better, at least on the pitch. Volta is fun in small doses, but those looking to play something other than Ultimate Team will be inevitably disappointed in the lack of variation in offline modes. Those who are in it for the thrill of opening a pack and getting a star player, or who simply love collecting cards and playing football matches with their new additions will find a lot to love, at least until next season when it all begins again.

    FIFA 20 like so many of its previous iterations doesn’t play very much like a real game of football. That’s someone due to smashing 90 minutesFIFA 20 like so many of its previous iterations doesn’t play very much like a real game of football. That’s someone due to smashing 90 minutes of game into a playable 10 minutes. The problem is that FIFA 20 simply isn’t very enjoyable in comparison to the likes of PES 2020. EA Vancouver has provided substantial new content in this year’s game, Volta football being the main mode, including new House Rules for FUT and friendly matches, revamped set-pieces and a defense overhaul. The presentation with a Sky Sports broadcast, and full detail ripe in the menus. You only need to open a FUT pack and see the effort of presentation put forth. You can play the pass and shoot football here if you wish, but really these 3v3, 4v4 and 5v5 games are about skill and self-expression. The story itself isn't full of twists or turns and won't convince anyone that this is how real football is, but it’s still a somewhat gratifying experience overall. The quality of animation remains impressive as it does each year, but this year more than any previously, FIFA’s players feel more locked to 8-way movement grid, as PES 2020 feels more depth to it's overall control scheme. Defenders are now much less automated when you’re in control of them and the standing tackle has more range variant when you hold the action, so in this sense FIFA 20 presents new scoring options. FIFA 20 is engaging and it holds your attention, invites you to imagine being in possession of a full squad, and gets you plotting your journey from here to there in detail thanks to new season objectives. It rewards grinding with various currency and customization options, and makes you feel like you’re part of an online football club. In that regard, it’s ahead of PES 2020 and its comparatively lesser MyClub. FIFA 20’s biggest shortfall is the lack of producing an overall enjoyable football match. So if you're looking for the better football experience this year, my recommendation would be PES 2020 for the Xbox One. Long time fans of the FIFA franchise may still find enjoyment here but be sure not to pass over the option of PES 2020 in your Xbox One library as well.… Full Review »

    After the diabolically awful Fifa 19, which was quite possibly the worst Fifa game of all time, EA needed drastic improvement to save face. Fifa 20 is nowhere near a good enough improvement on Fifa 19.

    EA have become the masters of ruining games and Fifa is no exception.    … Full Review »

    Ridiculous to release a $50 game in the current condition. Unacceptable! #FixCareerMode
