    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 minutes of game into a playable 10 minutes.

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.… Expand

It's almost as though they want to hand the title to Konami.

    EA really showed contempt for it's fans this year and proved that they are only interested in you buying coins to play FUT.

Very unfortunate how Fifa has turned the last couple years, Fifa 19 was the worst Fifa of all-time and Fifa 20 feels even worse.

    What a disappointment. In my naivety, every year I assume EA will respond to the bad reviews and all the negative press surrounding their name by listening to what the players want.

In my naivety, every year I assume EA will respond to the bad reviews and all the negative press surrounding their name by listening to what the players want. Instead they keep distracting with new game modes (The Journey, Volta) while devoting minimal effort to the career mode.

    We have a few added career mode features: manager customisation, post/pre-match cutscene conferences that impact the team's morale, a Player Conversation tab where players approach you about their play time, transfer requests, etc, and how you reply impacts the player's morale. A few other small changes such as the Y button no longer bringing you to your emails, no controller vibration on the deadline day clock countdown, and the ability to go straight to the transfer hub after shortlisting a player, which is handy. But after the novelty of those features wear off (it already has after a few hours), it's same old career mode. Not to mention, at the time of writing there's still no game faces for Skriniar, De Jong, Bruno Fernandes, Arthur, Pepe, Semedo, Gelson Martins, Suso, Ndombele, Aouar, Lauro Martinez, Van de beek, Mason Greenwood and more.

    My biggest gripe with the game though is the clunky gameplay. Every new FIFA has had better gameplay than it's predecessor, even if the improvement was marginal. FIFA 20 is an exception.

    The ball physics and player movements are working against each other. An attacker makes a good run but the ball lags, bounces and bobbles behind...or does the opposite and is over-hit. First touches are awful, as are volleys. Possession/tiki taka is near impossible because the game doesn't flow. Tackles are horrendous. When defending with a full back on the wing near the by-line, the body check seems to have been removed, or hard to achieve. In FIFA 19 you just hold B and he'd jostle/nudge the winger off the ball. Now he lunges in with a one foot tackle, often conceding a foul. It's not all bad - finesse shots are better and penalties are growing on me, but overall I'd take FIFA 19 with new kits and lineups any day of the week.

    If you're mainly a career mode player you'll enjoy the new features in the first few days then you'll be disappointed. It's not worth the £54.99 I paid. Might be worth considering PES this year.    … Expand

    My opinion this has the worst career mode on in History.
    You cannot leave 1 player out of a game without them threatening to leave also your moral sky rockets down more then it will go up. You can’t sign average players if your a promoted team without then wanting first team football. Hopefully fifa 21 fixes these problems

    I've always loved football games. I bought this one discounted PlayStation 4, then a week later I received the Xbox copy as a gift. And I had to fake being happy and say thank you. I had to fake being happy only because the game, and it's mechanics (and all the micro transactions) were a huge turn off.

Most of the things stated in the pitch notes for the variety of modes haven't come to fruition, so much so that this game actually falls under false advertising.

    Career mode is easily the most broken mode, as a lot of things that have been "added", don't work, become repetitive, or haven't been added. For example, press conferences are a new feature that has taken 30 seconds to get us d to, so you know what the best answer is for every question, that sometimes don't even make sense. The new news section is glitchy and can contain articles that don't make any sense to the game you've played. Dynamic Potential either works or doesn't work for some people, and some teams don't even have their 3rd kits, which were in the demo. The only good thing in career mode is the manager customisation, which affects the gameplay least and I would gladly sacrifice for many other things to work.

    Volta, the new Futsal game mode, is also very broken. Teams can play a player (or players) which are on your team, so you can build a squad full of them, cutscenes are glitchy at times and the gameplay is very inconsistent in Volta.

    Then the money maker, Ultimate Team. One of the most Pay 2 Win game modes where a lucky Mbappe pack pull, can take you up 2 divisions with the right knowledge of what you are doing. You can no longer see your friends teams, despite making a big thing of playing friendlies with your mates. The Transfer Market has already been broken on PS4 and PC, and will go down countless more times throughout the year. Player ratings also make no sense. Mustafi 83 and Matip 82? What were EA thinking.

    The general gameplay however, is what brings me back to play FIFA 20. It's a lot slower and methodical, but a well worked counter attack feels rewarding, and stopping one feels nice too. New player instructions means there are more ways to find what tactics suit you best and offers you more choice to get around certain challenges. The soundtrack is also an improvement on the previous installment bit still not FIFA 15 good.

    That is where the positives end however, as one of the promo stars, João Felix has a game face in many pictures, but not in game, many transfers haven't been completed and the loss of Juventus to PES is a big one, which means Piemonte Calcio take their place (although players aren't affected).

    EA have also had terrible feedback to the #FixCareerMode movement, even going as far to blocking people asking for a priority over other game modes. They have also been removing threads from the forum and have been disabling comments describing more bugs that others have discovered.

    EA have so much potential when it comes to FIFA, but they will never reach it. It's such a shame as I love football and want to play a decent football arcade game, to relax from Football Manager, they will have me hooked for a little while, but when they inevitably change the gameplay pack to a Ping Pong simulator, they will lose me.

    2/10. Gameplay is great, game modes are in dire need of fixing/ improving.    … Expand

I ended up getting the standard edition pre-order for my birthday as a gift which was around $90 and I was excited for all the new features they'd promised like dynamic potential and morale and everything else. Then, just a day before the game officially came out, my pre-order was cancelled for no reason. There was no explanation and I wasnt even told if I'd gotten a refund. The person who gave me the gift said they would buy it for me again. So basically, almost $200 was spent on this game (if the original pre-order wasn't refunded, which i'm still unsure about).

    This is by far the most disappointing game I've every played. Not the most disappointing FIFA game. Career mode, the main reason that I got the game for my birthday and was so excited for it, is completely broken. I won't describe the glitches in it since its been so heavily publicised but it makes the game almost unplayable and I don't have faith that EA will patch most of them any time soon.

    For all the scathing comments about FUT's predatory and disgusting practices, it cannot be denied that FIFA 20 is still a great game. If micro-transactions are a concern then, avoid them - it is pretty easy to do with the sheer number of available options, which are next to none in this genre, with Volta and House Rules being incredibly fun additions to FIFA's on-going repertoire of modes. The subtle evolution of player skill moves might be inaccessible to the casual player, but the experts that can take advantage of these changes will definitely be able to test their skills. FIFA 20 is an evolution to the series, which has surprised with its diversity of options, and should only continue to grow as the decade goes on.
