FIFA 20 Reviews
With unsurprisingly shady surprise mechanics and little to no significant movement on the pitch, FIFA 20 is a stopgap entry that only has Volta to boast about.
Fifa 20 has all the parts to make for a competent, impressive footballing title this year. I played Pro Evo last month and was pleasantly surprised by the fluidity and realistic football on display in that title and wondered whether Fifa could compete on the pitch. In a way it does, at least for a little while. Matches are genuinely balanced with a good use of physics and improved animations, but various glitches and bugs hold this game back from ascending to the level it should hit. The career mode is almost entirely unplayable if you want a realistic experience and unless you're prepared to put some serious time into Ultimate Team, Volta's short story mode may not be enough to keep you coming back for more.
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 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.
Our advice? Wait for FIFA 20 to be patched before tying your laces.
FIFA 20 is, once again, an enjoyable football simulation, rejuvenated by the Volta mode and the improved controls. However, none of the changes are major and the core of the game is exactly the same as last year, which doesn't cut it in face of the competition.

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..

If what they had in mind was a little better than mediocrity, than the game is a resounding success. I can only hope that the developers understand this type of incremental improvements are no longer enough, and that's it's time for a new kind of wheel.
New modes are always a welcome addition, but when the issues the game has are related to the most important aspect of the game, which is the gameplay, then the overall experience become more of a challenge to adapt and live with all these issues instead of being a fun competitive experience.

FIFA 20 doesn't stand out compared with its predecessor because it barely has no innovative improvements.

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 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's Volta mode is a stellar new addition, but other tweaks are less impressive.
It’s not perfect, but it’s the biggest step forward for the series for a few years. It might be the best one to pick up if you haven’t played FIFA in a while.
FIFA 20 is quite similar to the previous version in its intentions. It's all about attack, dribbling and even if defence has been a bit tweaked, it's easy to see EA Sports wants to offer spectular 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.

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.

While FIFA 20 is bogged down by the same issues that have plagued it for years, it does enough to set itself apart as a worthy installment.
Beneath the fireworks and confetti, FIFA 20’s lacking match fitness.
FIFA 20 has some refreshing new features. Unfortunately career mode and FUT didn't change that much. Volta Football is a fun new addition for you to play online or with friends though.

FIFA 20 is bringing nothing new except Volta mode, which is really fun to play. Also FUT is still a P2W mess.
