FIFA 20 Reviews
FIFA 20 brings back street football along with some significant core engine changes, but do they make 2020 a must-have year for fans of the franchise?
FIFA 20 looks like another step up for the FIFA franchise, even if probably not so wide and brave as we could expect. Anyway, gameplaywise the new physics, the slower pace and a solid 1 on 1 defense open a whole new world in terms of approach and styles of play. The very new game mode Volta brings the street soccer back to videogames and it's simply a love letter to the spirit of football lived as fun.

FIFA 20 is fun, which is the most important thing. The developers in charge of gameplay have done just about all they can do to make this title a joy on the virtual pitch. It’s shortcomings are because of a lack of innovative improvements to core modes. That keeps it as a really good game, but a notch below great.
FIFA 20 does enough to improve FIFA’s overall outlook and bring some players back who were driven away by boredom, but it would be unjustified to call it one of the series’ very best installments.
FIFA 20 is virtual football in its most spectacular form.

Out of the box, FIFA 20 is the one of the poorest releases for the series in some time. The gameplay can't get out of its own way at times due to poor defensive fundamentals, while the career mode is littered with bugs that were fixed in past iterations. Volta appears to be the only mode without major issues because the gameplay there is expected to be different. FIFA is always prone to patches (for better or worse), so if you're on the fence be sure to keep your eyes open as this game will definitely change during the course of the season.
FIFA 20 remains the top choice for quick, arcade fun, especially with Volta, but it fails in simulating a decent game of football on the pitch.
FIFA 20 introduces a hefty amount of novelties and pretty much all of them are successful – especially the Volta can give tons of fun. Unfortunately – the biggest flaws that have existed in the series for years are still here – painfully schematic gameplay doesn't promote creativity, and the artificial intelligence doesn't deserve the name. These elements render each FIFA a much less compelling experience.

FIFA 20 is one of the most balanced games in the series to date, and has finally slowed its frantic gameplay down a bit, but is not reinventing any of its modes and core mechanics as it looks like a transition title

Apparently, EA Sports is preparing for a new generation of consoles and saved all the major changes in the mechanics and graphics for next year. Therefore, the only fresh solution was the Volta mode, which replaced last year's story and managed to bring new sensations to the project. In all other respects, FIFA 20 can be called a minor update, created for fans who buy games in the series on an annual basis. If you are not interested in street football, it is better to wait for discounts.

FIFA 20 has Volta at the center of its marketing and successfully introduces a mode that has real potential, but it's not the experience that reinvents the franchise.
Despite its shortfalls FIFA 20 is definitely one of the better games from the franchise in recent years.
FIFA 20 does not change the formula that for years has led the series to excel in the football category

Beneath the fireworks and confetti, FIFA 20’s lacking match fitness.
For fun and realistic gameplay, FIFA 20 can't be beat, though the specter of card packs looms large over the game's Ultimate Team mode.
If you've enjoyed FIFA in the past, you'll still enjoy it now, but if its brand of football doesn't appeal to you, FIFA 20 isn't going to change your mind.
FIFA 20's finer gameplay moments are overshadowed by the series' overall malaise
If you’ve been looking for a reason to take the plunge and upgrade, consider this your penalty kick in the pants.
FIFA 20 is pretty much what you'd expect from a new FIFA game. FIFA Ultimate Team continues to march on and grow, card packs and all, while the core gameplay has been tweaked, making attacking play feel great as you rip defences apart. The big new feature is Volta Football, and while it's a fun distraction, it's not quite as engaging as its FIFA Street predecessors.
